Reviews
UNABLE TO ASSEMBLEBrianDo not purchase under any circumstance! I had this couch delivered and the assembly was going fine until I needed to complete the frame by attaching two L-shaped metal brackets. The pre-drilled holes did not align at all with the hardware forcing you to either give up or drill all new holes. I didn't spend $800 to have a woodworking project and fix IKEA's poor quality.
Loved for over 5 yearsJenniferWe’ve had this couch as our main living room couch for many years and absolutely love it. It’s been through a move and now a baby and toddler in addition to the many people who have spent the night on it, and it’s held up great. We need a second couch now, so looking at buying another in another color and thought I’d leave a review!
My mom frequently sleeps on it when she stays over and she calls it her crib, that’s how much she loves it 😅 we have it in orange! Adds a great pop of color to our otherwise very neutral home.
Doesn’t LastLissaI purchased this sofa in blue just shy of five years ago. It gets some light daily use from an adult. These are the reasons I would never recommend this sofa:
1. The fabric pills terribly
2. The seat cushion started sagging after one year and the cover is not removable for washing.
3. The arms don’t stay in place and are getting wobbly.
4. The couch is really deep. Without extra pillows, it’s too deep for my legs and hard to get out of. See #5 for additional comfort issues.
5. A ridge has developed on the front edge of the sofa making it uncomfortable to get up. Feels like a metal bar.
6. The back cushions are becoming so soft or broken down I have to supplement with additional pillows.
I love the color and shape of the couch, but otherwise deeply regret the purchase.
Fabric its tornAndresIts very confortable but with les than 1 month the Fabric was already torn.
Comfortable sofaLuisaPerfect sofa, the fabric, color and fit is just what my apartment needed. It’s comfortable to sit on and to sleep on.
Not the best, not the worst JessicaI have the black faux leather version. Looks sleek, & still looks good after 8 years & 4 dogs. It does start to separate in the middle when you use the bed, but a mattress topper helps. I also think it’s lame that replacement back cushions aren’t available.
Awful fabric wearRyanIKEA claims to be sustainable but the fabric (upgraded tan) has mostly worn out after 1.5 years; pilling and discoloring... It looks terrible through minimal use and they will not allow it to be returned/replaced. There is no way to clean the main large cushion either. Would not recommend this item.
The fabric starts to have fuzzChiragAfter 3 months of usage the fabric starts to have fuzz coming out and the spong inside starts to get soft.
A year with the sofaDarianaAbout a year with the sofa and it creates a big space in the middle when pulling out the bed, like it separates in 2. Very dissapointed
Did we make the right choice ?StuartPrice wise not too bad, however the quality is not as good as I had hoped.
After a few months of NORMAL use, the arms are already loose ! Does not accurately reflect IKEA quality.
great sofa for its priceNatalyaWe were looking for a sofa that would be comfortable for two adults to sleep on. This is exactly that. It folds out easily and has a drawer for storing bed linen. It is quite comfortable for two adults to sleep on it. My husband assembled it himself, it was not difficult. The quality is certainly not 5, the upholstery very quickly began to look not very good. But the quality matches its cost. Overall, we are happy.
Great couch - IKEA styleAnonymous reviewerI understand some of the bad reviews - you know what IKEA is like, right? Sometimes a little loose or noisy here and there since you build it from parts.
It might not be the same as your average couch, but it’s comfy once you’re used to it!
We do like it, and it’s taken a beating from pets, toddler, etc.
Couch seats got VERY hard over timeShanishaIf you sit on my one or particular area of the couch for too long, it gets HARD. The pull out couch is nice for guests, but make sure you use an egg shell to support their sleeping comfort. Easy enough to assemble.
Hard to assemble due to mis alignment in pre-drilled holeSteveWhile assembling the couch, there was a misalignment in one of the holes in the front board that would have resulted in cross threading the bolt. I can see if this bolt was not properly tightened, it could lead to the board breaking as mentioned in other reviews. Luckily I did not force the bolt, and had the time, tools, and patience to enlarge the predrilled hole to allow me to properly tighten the bolt.
The couch is very easy to convert to a bed, and appears to be more comfortable than other sleeper couch options.
As a couch it needs some throw pillows to be comfortable for sitting, but my son prefers to lay on it.
If the pillows were slightly smaller, they could fit into a pillow case and double as pillows when using the couch as a bed.
I bought a queen mattress pad and it fits ok. One side (the back of couch) is difficult to fit fitted sheet under, but it will be ok for occasional use.
Storage under the seat is helpful.
Removable and washable covers would be awesome.
$700+ and I regret this purchaseAndreaI bought this couch on November 3, 2019, and it has been a disappointment from the start. For a piece of furniture that cost over $700, I expected much better quality and comfort. Instead, it’s been uncomfortable to sit on, and the build quality is terrible.
On top of that, the couch isn’t even that comfortable. The cushions feel stiff, and sitting on it for long periods isn’t enjoyable.
To make matters worse, trying to contact IKEA about returning the couch under warranty has been a nightmare. I’ve reached out multiple times, but I’ve found it nearly impossible to get a helpful response or resolution. This experience has been extremely frustrating, and I hope leaving this review finally gets something to happen. I just want my money back.
DisappointedAnonymous reviewerBought this Sleeper sofa, Skiftebo dark gray during Thanksgiving of 2021.After 3 months the pillows and the foam started to sag. The pillow cover's sewing had come off. Color started to fade off. I have lost trust in Ikea after this purchase and no longer recommend Ikea furniture to my friends. Cheaply made.
Fabric peeling apart. Anonymous reviewerWe bought this couch in late 2019 and I’ve liked it. Because of the pandemic it’s only been used as a sleeper a couple of times. But it’s been comfortable to sit and lay on. But the coating on the couch is peeling off, leaving little black plastic shreds everywhere. I wish I could continue to use it but it looks terrible now.
Arms of couch saggingAnonymous reviewerThis couch was great at first and was exactly what we needed for the time being. Unfortunately, I am having the same issue as some other customers where the arms of the couch are falling off. Other than that, The couch really is great. How can we fix this issue. I have had this couch for less than 2 years and really didn't have any other issues than this.
It was what was looking for.MiguelIt’s a bit lumpy in the middle, it need to have more cushion support
What I needed for the spare roomKathyThe couch is comfy enough without being too soft or too hard. It opens to a queen size bed. The mattress is firm, and a bit hard to sleep on for someone in their 60s. It’s very difficult, almost impossible, to get a fitted sheet on the mattress due to how it’s attached to the frame. I had the son in-law put it together and it was a bit complicated. It fit the purpose that we needed and are still satisfied.

Material
What is coated fabric?
If you want a leather feel and an easy-care surface, coated fabric is a durable alternative – often at a lower price. We use fabric made of recycled polyester and have begun a transition from fossil-based to renewable material in the coating. Dimethylformamide (DMF) is a solvent that’s common in production, but since 2016 we’re instead using a water-based solvent.
