You can create your own perfect combination with the planning tool. Assemble, take apart and put together again until it’s just right.
The wide armrests have room for everything from your mobile phone to a bowl of movie snacks – and they are also comfortable to lay your head on when you lie down on the sofa for a rest.
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.

Reviews
Decent, but lumpy back cushionsAnonymous reviewerI’ve put it together today (on my own, which went ok except attaching the second armrest/end was tricky without help).
I can’t speak on its comfort or longevity, but it seems sturdy and the bottom cushions seem firm and resilient. The back cushions, however, are a bit soft and only seem to have any density because of having to stuff them into the covers. The cushions have a very stiff fabric covering that gets bunched up easily inside the covers, and I was not able to adjust them to smooth it out. Maybe that interior fabric will soften over time. As I think others have noted, there is a slight backward angle when sitting. The sofa is low to the ground, so most people shouldn’t have issues with that angle affecting your legs. But, it’s a little awkward for a sofa nap or an overnight guest.
Not as describeAnonymous reviewernot as described acutely it is easy to fit! but when use it (when I am setting on it ) there are annoying sounds! I redid it again and it was every thing as should be still this sound same. then one month later the setting place became very soft ( Not comfortable ).
TOXIC!!! HEALTH HAZARD PLEASE AVOID!!Anonymous reviewerWe received our Vimle 3 seater about a week ago and the smell in our house is DEADLY. I realize this is not high end solid wood furniture but this is unacceptable! All 4 of us have been feeling unwell since this couch was assembled with headaches and dizziness. My husband even said he had to take 3 ibuprofen’s and lay down after assembling which surprised me because he is a big strong guy that never gets bothered by anything. We are super disappointed and in a very unfortunate circumstance now as to what to do?! It is fully assembled and we have had all the windows open and fans running but it is not dissipating. We will contact IKEA for a return because this is unacceptable and not worth our health:/
To be fair, we have purchased many IKEA furnishings in the past and never had this problem. They usually off-gas for a few days and then goes away. Not the case here. Plus, even the materials look (feel)cheaper than any other IKEA purchase in the past. Quality control issue 💯
Love this sofaAnonymous reviewerIts soft comfy and very nice looking definitely value for money
VIMLE Corner sofa, 5-seat, with wide armrests/Gunnared beigeAnonymous reviewerLooking for a sofa for a while, this was a decent price so I went in to my local Ikea store to try this out (after checking they had it in store via their facebook messenger) as I didn't want to compromise on comfort. Liked it so a staff member helped me order it which was nice and easy and I could choose the delivery date.
Delivery was on time but unfortunately one of the boxes was damaged and the armrest inside ripped which I only noticed later, but Ikea customer services were great and just arranged delivery of a replacement with no quibbling.
Easy to follow instructions as can be expected from Ikea. I built it on my own which took about 6 or so hours inc. putting the covers on. It was pretty heavy and exhausting and my hands took a few days to recover but was worth it! Its quite firm but comfy and I'm sure will soften in time. Feels sturdy. Would recommend if you have kids and/or pets (washable covers!) and can't justify cost of the usual sofa companies!
Excellent Anonymous reviewerThe quality of this sofa is excellent. It looks good and is comfortable. It would be nice to have a more extensive choice of fabric colours. All in all I am very pleased with my purchase
Comfy and easy to assembleAnonymous reviewerThis is a great sofa, it was easy to put together and holds all 4 of us comfortably! The covers can look a little crinkled but a quick iron solves that.
Nice sofaAnonymous reviewerI was confused what to choose for my living room and then I saw that sofa it has storage and comfortable
Just as comfy as our previous expensive Sofology leather three seater chaiseAnonymous reviewerMy brother has an IKEA sofa and after 8 eight it is still comfy, so rather than spend what would’ve been between 5-7K on new leather sofas, we ordered online after researching and reading a lot of reviews. Two three-seater sofas and a footstool arrived, great delivery service, well packed. We spent about 5 hours putting them together (plus a couple of hours ironing the covers – thick cotton, not a quick job). I love how very different they feel versus smooth leather - I bought different throws, real sheepskins, a few cushions and my lounge is now transformed - looks cosy, welcoming, and the sofas are super comfy, not too soft and not too firm – supportive. We have one each, one with high arms, one with low arms, in grey, what is important is the comfort, and for both of us, these sofas are great to stretch out on and relax, most evenings we both fall asleep, and if I had to, I could easily spend a night snoring on my new sofa.
Vimle sofaAnonymous reviewerAbsolutely love this sofa and from ordering to getting it delivered was such an easy process with no issues at all.
We love our Vimle sofa! Anonymous reviewerI’m writing this 16 months after we purchased the 3 and 2 seaters in hallarp grey and can still say we absolutely love them and have held up amazingly with 3 young children and 2 adults. The quality is brilliant! We have recently moved to a bigger house so we wanted to add to our 3 and 2 seaters and make it one big U shaped couch, so bought two corner sections and another 2 seater. That’s one reason why we love this range because you can create your own couch to meet the size and needs of your home/family. The seats are large and very comfortable. We love that the covers are removable and washable which with young kids has come in handy a lot! All of our family and friends love our Vimle sofa and always comment on how comfortable it is. It may not look as “posh” as the Kivik range (which we have in the other lounge) but they are the comfiest couches and great for a family.
Collapsed seatingAnonymous reviewerDisappointed in the quality. Seats have collapsed and cant change the bottom cushions
So comfortable and looks great!Anonymous reviewerThis sofa is so comfortable, great soft yet sturdy cushions, feels very supportive when sat or lying down. The wide arms feel quite premium, solid construction and soft padding around them, just the right height to lean on or to lie on. The grey material is nice, looks quite expensive and goes with anything. It was easy to assemble, but getting the covers on the arms was a little bit tricky! Glad I got this sofa, it's great, and if and when I might want to redecorate or need new covers its great that you can change them out!
Simply Amazing!Anonymous reviewerSuch beautiful sofa!I am very impressed with the quality!! Looks amazing! It is Comfortable, large just what I was looking for! It look more expensive than it really is! I am very happy!
Not very comfortable and provides no supportAnonymous reviewerI had high hopes for this sofa and loved the look, but have ended up highly disappointed.
My biggest qualm is that the seat has a significant backward/downward slope which wasn't evident in the online photos. The cushions are soft, but don't really provide any support to counteract this, so your legs, pelvis, and spine get pushed out of alignment. I've found it becomes quite uncomfortable if you try to sit for more than a few minutes. The slope also makes it very difficult to get back up out of the sofa.
The foam on top of the armrests is also quite thin, so they aren't comfortable to lean on/rest a head on if you were hoping for that with low armrests.
Machine washable covers are nice, though the black/blue corduroy covers look a little cheap.
Overall, I'm quite disappointed and wish I could return it as this is quite an expensive item to be too uncomfortable to use regularly.
Best Sofa Ever!Anonymous reviewerI have had loads of sofas from big retailers at more than double the price of this one, but this sofa is definitely the best yet!
I have this and the one-seater armchair and it really is amazing, if you are thinking about buying it, do it!
ComfortableAnonymous reviewerThe sofa was comfortable and had enough space compared to other costly brands in the market
