Product details
Part of the Nytillverkad collection where several IKEA classics have been given a new look.
Designer Noboru Nakamura used LAPPMON sofa as a starting point and shortened it by 18 centimeters to make the covers for KLIPPAN washable – a width that suited fabric reels and washing machines.
Hallsta cover was first shown on the cover of our 1984 catalogue. Now, 40 years later, it has been given a new life under the name Långban.
Durable metal springs in the seat give the sofa a springy comfort, allowing you to sit, relax and enjoy it for many years.

Comfortable loveseatSusanMy daughter picked this out for her studio apartment. She says it’s very sturdy and comfortable.
Good SofaDennisIt’s a good sofa for the price.
KLIPPAN loveseat cover issueRiazI buy IKEA furniture for kids and family regularly for last few decades. Each time I received good customer experience except my recent one.
I purchased a sofa (KLIPPAN) early this year. I followed the instructions to put the sofa cover and other setup. I loved the color and its small size as it fit nicely in small room. However, the cover always get loose. My fingers get hurt now because of frequent cloth inserting (the inserting roller tool which came with the sofa also broken now). I visited the local store today to get help or buy the new roller tool. The customer service agent told me to bring the item to store to check up the quality issue instead of giving me new tool and replacement/option to replace the defected cloth cover. I offered her to pay for the tool and damage cloth. But I was told that these items can not be purchased separately. Very disappointing experience.
Good but improvements in required ChandraWhen I sit immediately, something hard surface hitting .. need to add 1 level pad on sofa..
SofaSusanThis little couch is perfect for my child’s bedroom. He loves the bright color.
Good initial quality, bad long term. AnonymousBought this back aug 2022.
The foam and cushion are pretty good and overall the couch is initially great. It starts to fall apart just a few months of use, mainly the back rest support is made of cardboard stapled to the frame and this eventually rips at the staple and the back rest collapses and you can feel the wooden frame.
Perfect little sofaAndreaPerfect for small places is very comfortable washable just works for us
Unicorn sofaNoraI used to work at a place with over 500 employees and we had KLIPPANs in the break room. They were insanely comfortable and held up incredibly well considering what they were put through on a daily basis. After trying and failing for two years to find the right sofa for my tiny living room, I thought, "I can't do this anymore, I'm getting a KLIPPAN." I knew it'd at least fit and be comfy.
It's magic. I put it together myself in 20 minutes. The cover is one piece and comes on and off with no struggle. It has elastic bands that attach to springs underneath the frame so it never, ever slips out of place or looks frumpy. There are no cushions to constantly be fixing. I like that the arms and back are all the same height, and the boxy design makes them work as a surface for my laptop.
It's genuinely so comfortable as well - I am plus sized and find it very supportive and sturdy whether I'm sitting or lying down. I'm so glad I went with KLIPPAN - IKEA, please keep making new covers!!
cheap materialAnonymous reviewerI bought a white color but it fades before a year. I follow the instruction cleaning still I do not know what to do now.
Poor quality compared to store model Anonymous reviewerI tried out this couch at an IKEA in person and it was super soft, comfortable, and great. I bought the couch and it looks nice but is nowhere near the same quality in terms of comfort as the one at the store. The one I received is extremely firm, it has almost no give and is not comfortable to sit on. False advertising

My bottom gets uncomfortably numbAimeeOur Klippan is about 5 years old. It still looks cute, but we rarely sit on it these days because circulation gets cut off in your legs if you sit for more than 30 minutes. You can feel the wood through the foam cushioning. We also purchased the red polkadot cover as a replacement in 2021, but the color faded from red to pink in the areas we sat on after about two years. The fading was from sitting, not washing. I'm not sure if these new, vibrant colors Ikea has added as covers would do any better longevity-wise. You may have to purchase a new cover in two years due to fading.
Too lowSereneWanted to love it but it’s just too low. My neck and back ached half way through watching a movie at home. It’s also really hard to find side accent chairs to go with it that are low enough. The cushion was also stiff. But it’s a hassle to undo and return it. So I’m keeping until it breaks.
Absolutely love the Klippan! SoVickieAbsolutely love the Klippan! So very comfortable and stylish and it is a perfect fit in the apartment!
Great starter couch!SamShallow depth, great for my odd proportions and back!
A Lovely Loveseat fo IKEA beginninersGinaWhen I bought the Klippan loveseat back in July of 2021, I got the "multicolor" pull-on cover with the cubes on it.
It wasn't a tight squeeze into my room, but it certainly made me prioritize what I had within my immediate space given that the photos really don't do the size of this thing justice. It's huge, fam.
Despite taking up half the floor in my master bedroom, I think the loveseat is comfortable. Comfortable and very supportive of my back.
Putting the seat together was easy with someone helping me out. Assembly always goes much quicker with extra hands. I would definitely recommend this loveseat to anyone looking for a sharp and simple design to compliment their room.

I don’t like it.. theAriannaI don’t like it.. the cover shade is not well stretched, it seems that it is not well designed. And the tubes that come with it that are supposed to hold the cover in place come out when sitting on the couch.
Quality has gone downSapnaThe couch itself is fine but the rods that come with it that are supposed to help set the cover in right are the flimsiest I’ve ever seen! And I own a klippan sofa from more than 10 years ago when they made those and those rods are still alive and well. The new ones were so flimsy they bent before I even tried putting them in. The cover sheds a lot as well and is not the same quality as the one I still continue to use from 10 years ago!
worst purchase I've made from ikeaDe'AundraI bought this couch back in 2018 and the seat is completely concaved and the wire underneath the couch has broken and fallen down.
it wasn't all that comfy to begin with as the back is too low but I figured it'll due for now. well, it increasingly grew more uncomfortable and now I need to replace it. it was my first time purchasing a couch so it gave me the seat I needed but now I know to be better at couch shopping.

A sofa for the many people
In the late 1970s, product developer Lars Engman asked designer Noboru Nakamura to create a robust sofa with soft corners and a washable cover – at a price that families with small children could afford. Nakamura used LAPPMON sofa as a starting point. By simplifying and shortening it by 3 inches, less material was required – and there was room for more on each pallet. KLIPPAN sofa was born and introduced in 1980.
