3 seater sofas

What makes a 3 seater sofa special?

3 seater sofas offer extra seating so you can lie back and relax or enjoy an evening with family and friends. They’re compact, meaning they’re great for apartments and smaller spaces. Plus, they come in many colours to suit your personal style. And if you can’t decide between a big sofa and a small one, a 3 seater sofa also makes for the perfect compromise.

A 3 seater sofa offers extra seating

A 3 seater sofa is a great choice if you’re looking for a bit more seating space. Lounge with your partner as you watch TV or hang out with friends or have a night in with the family. Unlike two seat sofas, a 3 seater sofa will let you stretch out fully or add an extra friend to the party. Pair it with some chairs and you’re ready to host a full gathering. It’s the perfect midpoint between a sofa that’s a bit too small and some of the much larger sofas in the IKEA range.

IKEA 3 seater sofas come in many colours

Style your 3 seater sofa to match your tastes and your decor. Beyond just cushions and blankets, you can also choose from a range of colours to personalise the sofa. Browse everything from traditional colours like grey, black and beige to more creative options like turquoise sofas and yellow sofas with three seats.

3 seater sofas are great for urban living

A 3 seater sofa is designed to accommodate urban life, especially for people who live in apartments or have smaller living rooms. While not as small as a 2 seater sofa or single sofa, these sofas still help free up lots of floor space. Explore a variety of shapes including L shape sofas and corner sofas to further maximise your space and create the living room of your dreams.

Are all 3 seater sofas the same size?

No, a 3 seater sofa can come in a variety of different lengths, widths and heights. It depends on the size of the seats and the shape of the sofa. An L shape sofa, for example, takes up less space than a standard sofa. Click the products on this page to check their specific measurements.

Is a 3 seater sofa big enough?

If you have the space for it, why not go big? While 3 seater sofas certainly offer a lot of space for sitting, there are many larger options. If your family’s a bit bigger, or you want to host bigger groups of friends, consider adding a few seats. The IKEA range includes four seat sofas, five seat sofas and even six seat sofas. These might just be that special touch your living room needs.

How many cushions should there be on a 3 seater sofa?

For a 3 seater sofa, the ideal number of cushions is anywhere from two to six. The fewer cushions you use, the more minimalist a look you will create. On the other hand, using lots of cushions gives you a more full and abundant look with lots of texture. No matter how many you choose, make sure to also pair their colours and patterns to the sofa or other decor in the room.

How to get a 3 seater sofa through a door

First measure the sofa and then measure the width and height of your door. If the door is too small, you still have lots of options. Many of the 3 seater sofas in the IKEA range have a modular design, meaning they're built in segments. This lets you easily separate them so you can move them smoothly through a door. If that's not possible with the sofa you choose, you can still disassemble many sofas in the same way you construct them.
