Product details
This soft sofa will have a long life since the seat cushions are filled with high resilience foam that gives good support for your body and quickly regains its original shape when you get up.
The sofa's sections can be combined in different ways to get a size and shape that suits you and your home.
You can create your own perfect combination with the planning tool. Assemble, take apart and put together again until it’s just right.
The chaise longue has storage under the seat. The lid automatically stops in the open position so that you can easily pick out and put back the things that you are storing.
You can place the chaise longue section to the left or right of the sofa, and switch whenever you like.
This cover is made of dope-dyed Gunnared fabric in polyester. It is a durable fabric with a wool-like feel, a warm look and a two-toned melange effect.
The cover is easy to keep clean since it is removable and machine washable.
You can complete with VIMLE headrest to extend the backrest of the sofa, so that you sit even more comfortably with a nice support for your neck.
10 year guarantee. Read about the terms in the guarantee brochure.

Reviews
Disappointing. Poor quality Anonymous reviewerI rarely leave reviews. And I bought most of my furniture from IKEA. But, in case of this sofa, it’s frustrating as it’s very poor quality compare to price. Extremely uncomfortable to seat seems you are sinking and dipping down, need additional support on your back. You would feel the difference of chaise lounge and 2 seat sofa. Cushions quickly sag and lost his shape. It’s already displaced the rest of the sofa. This purchase was huge mistake and I do regret
Sunken cushionsAnonymous reviewerNot a great sofa overall. The back cushions don’t line up properly and now the seat cushions have sunk and you can feel the wooden join between the seats.
FaultsAnonymous reviewerGood overall couch however the connection between the corner seat and main seat is not fit for purpose, breaks easy from my experience
Disappointing LongevityAnonymous reviewerThis Sofa has just continued to fall apart over time. The bottom of the chaise falls out, it doesn’t hold its shape, it’s really now causing us issues
Had this sofa for 5 + yearsAnonymous reviewerI have had this in our kitchen sitting for over 5 years and I must say that it works perfectly. The cushions have retained their shape after washing and I think it is very comfortable.
1 star – Loses comfort within monthsAnonymous reviewerThe IKEA VIMLE became uncomfortable after only a couple of months of use. The bottom cushions quickly lost their shape and support, leading to poor seating posture and back pain. After a year, it’s now genuinely unpleasant to sit on, and I’m already looking for alternatives while still having to use it daily. I regret not leaving a 1-star review earlier—this level of durability is disappointing for a sofa designed for everyday use.
Poor qualityAnonymous reviewerNot comfortable for your back/head but the main problem is that after 2 months it has totally lost the original shape. I expected higher quality from IKEA.
OK sofaAnonymous reviewerThis sofa was easy to assemble and fitted beautifully into the space it needed to go. Its reasonable comfortable. My only issue is that the covers go baggy very quickly ( 2 weeks) and don't smooth out.
Disappointed! Colour started fading after 4 monthsAnonymous reviewerI bought a sofa in 2023 when I moved into my new property. Was great until it broke. Called to have the parts replaced and it had been discontinued so I had to get this one as a replacement. Got this replacement in May this year, and less than 4 months later, the colour had completely faded and turning orange even though I have not washed it before. Called to report this and I was told that the covers only have a 1 year warranty and since the are using my original purchase date in 2023, they cannot do anything about it. This is very disappointing as I now have to spend money I do not have to try and get a new cover and I’m if I am able to do that, those might fade too. Very frustrated and disappointed as I expected better quality and service.
damaged product and very bad customers service Anonymous reviewerReceived a damaged product and when I talked and chatted with them they told to to wait 8 days for replacement. very bad customers service
Doesn’t last!! Anonymous reviewerSo uncomfortable to sit on now. Constant back and neck pain. Cushions have sunken in too.
Sunken and sagged on the chaise. Anonymous reviewerBought the sofa in February and by July for chaise section has sunken and no way of turning/plumping up the section.
Very disappointing after only 4 months of use,
Uncomfortable for the 1st month & Bad Costumer Service Anonymous reviewerI have used cheaper IKEA corner sofas that have better quality after 10 years of daily use. We decide to buy this one as an upgrade. Even for the 1st month quality had drastically decreased, it was fully uncomfortable to sit or sleep. Calling costumer service what they told us was that this sofa is not for sleeping, it is only for sitting and if it is not a damage the 10 year guarantee that they are promising is not applied. They didn't offer anything, not a replacement, not a cost reimbursement. One year later now, situation is even worst, we avoid sitting on our living room just because this costly sofa is so uncomfortable and you have back pains after 10 minutes of sitting. Cushions are sunken and frame stand higher than the cushions as result to hit your self on the frame. Very disappointed from IKEA quality and especially for their customers service.
Sunken sofaAnonymous reviewerAs others have stated this sofa becomes very uncomfortable with little use. It gives us constant back aches for sitting on it. The chaise is sagging and can't be raised or turned and it has a 5cm gap now between the back and the cushions. The bed is so soft and uncomfortable to sleep on. Usually we are very happy with IKEA quality but I regretted my purchase this time.
Terrible quality Anonymous reviewerI regret purchasing this sofa so so much, it’s so uncomfortable, the seats have already sunken where people sit, the seats have no support. Please don’t waste your money!!
Beautiful Anonymous reviewerReally happy either way our sofa, very comfortable , the ability to replace covers is excellent , very happy
Vimle L shaped chaiseAnonymous reviewerI bought the Vimle chaise from MK store in September 2019 and the middle and chaise longue sections have both sunk in. They are not comfortable to sit on. Don’t know what to do with them. Not worth the price I paid for.
Perfect for what we neededAnonymous reviewerI can’t believe the bad reviews on this sofa… we love it, we have a three seater with chaise and a two seater. They are really comfy… we have had them for a year now and they still look great. Also a plus having storage and removable covers.
Poor qualityAnonymous reviewerIt's comfortable enough and looks good, but very quickly we realised that the cushion quality is poor. They certainly won't last as long as you'd hope an expensive sofa would do. After only 5 months the cushions have already flattened and won't plump back up after our efforts. One arm rest has already broken and it absorbs smells SO much, that it's made the whole room smell, even after it's been cleaned. We've never had such issues with a sofa, let alone after just buying it. Very disappointed. Will unfortunately be replacing it very soon.
No back supportAnonymous reviewerYou can't really sit on it for long without adding some cushions for back support.
