Bad itemAnonymousI had my couch delivered and paid to have it installed, Not only a few months later a giant spring came out of the couch and could have caused injury! this is very alarming. I can't attache photos but I can describe it. A large snake coil spring from under the couch released with such force it ripped through the fabric and came out of the couch. it coiled around and is now protruding through the fabric! I would not recommend this couch to anyone who cares for their well being. 1
Completely different comfort level from showroomSteveThis sofa bed felt comfortable and soft in the showroom, but it was extremely firm when we had ours delivered. Night and day. Even thr springs in the cushions we're incredibly uncomfortable. I would not recommend this sofa bed. We're returning ours. 2
Very PleasedNatalieComfortable, good quality material, sturdy.5
We love our couchGoldieWe purchased the Barslov sofa a few months ago and we love it. It is very comfortable and the pact that it pulls out means our whole family can relax on it together. The blue colour goes with everything we have and is a great alternative neutral. 5
Nice couch overall, poor quality assuranceJudyWe like our new couch and the assembly would've been fine... if it weren't for all the bolts that were badly machined and bolt holes that weren't drilled properly! We had to go to customer service to exchange a few bolts as well as one of the backing pieces which had a badly drilled hole (it wasn't circular). Maybe we just got very unlucky, but be aware that this might happen.4
Cute, comfy, functionalAnonymous reviewerLove the look, and that it can turn into a bed!5
beautifulKateactually a better product than we expected! A good sleeper sofa, very comfortable, fits well into our small condo and looks great.
The blue is gorgeous. So happy to have an option other than white or grey.5
Great couch, horrible bedDanielleI picked this couch because I really liked the colour and it was comfortable. We frequently have guests and liked the option of offering them a sofa bed. That is where this went down hill fast! The sofa portion attaches to the bed through a bolt and hook, but the bolt is too short and the bed constantly separates from the couch with the tiniest of movements- a very uncomfortable experience for anyone trying to sleep on it! I ended up returning the couch.2
QualityEveWe bought this couch less than a year ago and it keeps detaching so uncomfortable it’s quite annoying to always reattach it ! I was looking forward to this couch but was so disappointed and the quality of the couch in general is poor I can tell it won’t last many year the fabric gathers around arm sides and the pillows with lounge ! We have other ikea couch and we owned it for years and I still love it but this one for the price that it is it did not stand up to it ! Very upsetting! 1
Love this sofa bedKoreyVery comfortable 5
Major design flaw - do not buy!RosieUnfortunately, the major detachment issue mentioned in reviews on February 11th and April 14th persists. We purchased this product in July without knowing that there is an ongoing issue with the sofa bed section detaching from the main part of the couch. This is an existing issue with the Frihiten as well but at least with that design there are workarounds that we've learned about. Unfortunately, the design of the Barslov has made these workarounds impossible and there are no obvious solutions. The sofa bed is not usable as the pull-out section detaches from the main section as soon as there is weight on it. We are waiting on a response from IKEA but in the meantime strongly suggest that you do not buy this product. We have confirmed that we assembled the couch correctly and all parts are in working order so this is not user error or faulty hardware. This is a design flaw. 1
Make sure you have a toolboxLizNice couch but there was an issue putting it together. My husband had to refit the two side attachments as the screws supplied were too small.4
Still a great sofa bed after 12 + yearsHeatherThis has worked very well as an office couch to curl up on or occasional use for visiting guests. Would like to recover it as original canvas fabric has some stains that won't come out with repeat professional upholstery treatments and cleaning. Wonder if there are any aftermarket or new IKEA covers that can be purchased to refresh this sofa for another decade.5
wonderful sofa bed but distressing experience to get itVeranot applicable4
