Disappointing, Low QualityJenniferI wrote a review on this previously but it has been removed. I bought it because of all the good reviews but after a year the seat sags to the point of being extremely uncomfortable and if you look online their are so many posts about how to attempt to improve it but they take considerable work and money and honestly they should not be necessary. The cushions are bevelled on the edges adding to the lack of comfort, online you will find hacks for that too and they are very thin. They zip into place but no matter what you do they slide apart leaving a large gap (3-4 inches) between them. It is way too low for the average height person, we got new legs for it. By the time we fixed the major problem we had spent a few hundred dollars and a great deal of effort. Look it up on reddit to see all the issues before you buy this. In the showroom they have the older better version of it so when i went in to try it it seemed good. Very misleading. Wish i had never bought it1
I love my Soderhamn!ThereseThis is the second time I have bought this sofa. The fabric is so much improved from 13 yrs ago! My old one had a cracked frame and was over the 10 yr warranty. It's still so comfortable. You can easily nap on it once you remove the back cushions. Ikea, I wish you also sold the small-scale one as you do in Japan, that would have made this 10/10! as it is quite large. But I'm happy with the quality. Would you please consider selling different legs to go with it?5
Didn’t stand up to timeChristinaI bought this could with the lounge and arm rests a year ago. It’s already falling apart. The foam in the cushions is deteriorating and thinning. We hear so much flex in the wood, even with tightening the hardware. I’ve had an ikea couch before that lasted over 10 years with young children, but this one didn’t last even the year. I’m now going to have to replace my couch, which isn’t cheap. I always choose IKEA because the price is right and quality has never been an issue. Until now. Very disappointed in the quality, and heartbroken I spent so much on crap furniture. 2
WrinklyHyojuI chose the light gray color. It does not look good in my kitchen. And the cushions that comes with the sofa are wrinkly, and the cover is so small that this cannot cover the whole sofa frame. I was gonna buy $200 sofa instead of this. But I thought I would invest more for a better look. But now I am disappointed with this purchase.1
Minor issues but mostly love it Anonymous reviewerPurchased this in 2018 in Finnsta turquoise. We changed the covers to Viarpe Beige in 2021. It's a lovely colour but my only gripe is that it's less durable than the turquoise one. The beige one pills and has thread pulls easier than the last fabric. The couch structure itself is still pretty good considering it's age. However we also purchased an additional section in 2021 and that seat is a bit saggy. 4
Not comfortableJulieThin seat cushion3
Quality has dippedDanBought one years ago and it was an awesome sofa. Bought another in 2022 and the quality has dipped substantially. Cushions lost shape within a month and it feels less stable. The zipper on the cover broke and had to be returned. The cushions losing shape has been the main issue, it makes the couch a lot less comfortable than prior iterations.3
Easy to assembleEmilySuper easy to assemble and very comfortable.5

A great for someone whoKarenA great for someone who likes to sit cross legged due to how deep the couch is.5
The quality is not what it used to beEkaterinaIt’s my favorite IKEA sofa, and it's not the first time I've bought this model. The delivery was smooth and fast, thank you! Unfortunately, when assembling the sofa, I noticed that the quality had deteriorated compared to the exact same sofa made several years ago. Although it is on the inside of the couch and does not affect the overall look, I was not very happy to get this quality considering the price of this couch. Plus, the price of it went up. The fabric is very nice and soft, but there are quality issues too, a lot of threads sticking out, the stitching itself is crooked. I rarely write reviews, but this time I was disappointed.4
Pretty good CouchKourtneyThis couch is very comfortable and I like the design (although more options for cushion covers would be great). Removable and washable covers are so helpful. It feels strong.
I took a star away as the cushions zipped to the base move a lot. So you have to pull them back into place or you're sitting in a gap between them. As well, after I first washed the covers, they didn't fit properly on the cushions. The cushions look squeezed into the covers and sit funny as a result.4
Very good one!Anita Ching-YuVery good one!5
Best ikea couchAnonymous reviewerI have one, my brother, sister and daughter too! So comfy and versatile - change the configuration or cover so easily! I can’t say enough about this couch.5
Really happy with this purchase!LauraI've had my Soderhamn sectional now for about 2-3 weeks and I like it. So far my only criticism is that the one spot I sit in a lot turns out to be right on top of the space between two of the cushions, and it's hard because of the bar underneath, and it pushes the two cushions farther apart, so I've had to put a blanket in that spot to create a comfort zone for me when sitting there. I love that I can take the covers off to wash, and the fabric seems very durable. It was easy to assemble, and I plan on purchasing a second set of covers for the future if I need to replace any piece or just want a change. I love the look of this sectional, it's pretty comfy and I also love that it's modular so it can fit a variety of spaces. I highly recommend.4
Sofa bedPaymonThis sofa makes a really good bed actually. It's not the most comfortable for sitting but its good enough for me. It's light and sturdy and I like how it looks a lot.4
