Uppland is a good sofaSimoneI used to have a Ektorp, an old one made with feathers on one side and foam on the other side, and I am so very sorry that I had given it away. Should have found a way to fix that problem when the feathers started to float all over my living room, because the sofa was ripping apart. The Uppland is a good one, a bit harder, not as comfortable as feathers, of course, but decent, strong quality. I prefer the Blekinge white 100% cotton cover, and we also bought the sofa with a red and white flower cover, 100% cotton as well. I tried for the polyester rust and the color is gorgeous but it will clearly not last, it has stretch and I have two cats… so I opened and closed the box and will return. The cotton white lasts forever, I vacuum it often and wash at least once every season, so around four times a year. We have had it for about five years perhaps? But, we had the Ektorp for thirteen years and with only two covers, it was perfect! We should have restored its seats instead!4
Just about perfectFrankThis sofa is very comfortable and we really appreciate the higher cushions. We especially like the washable and replaceable covers, great if you are a cat owner and you know that kitties will always look at a sofa as a potential scratching post. Assembly was typical IKEA a mix of genius and what were they thinking. I looked at a couple of YouTube videos before starting assembling and they were very helpful.5
Fabric quality is lackingJuliaWe had an ektorp sofa that we loved but our dog damaged the cushions while the cover was being washed, so we needed to replace the whole sofa. The Uppland sofa has replaced the Ektorp and it is not nearly as nice. Two major flaws: 1. The seat cushions are no longer reversible- the bottom of the seat cushion is a black fabric so you can’t flip the cushion and hide a stain. And 2. The fabric is not holding up. We bought two different covers for the Uppland in April 2025 and both are showing signs of wear. We have the cover in Hillared beige and Kilanda light beige. The Kilanda has been on the sofa only once, for a couple months max, and is getting fuzzy. And since I can’t flip it, it will just get worse.3
LoveKellyVery comfortable5
Gray/green is actually blue.JasonThe sofa itself is fine. Very comfortable. But the gray/green slipcover looks NOTHING like what's shown on the website. It does look muted green online. However, in person, it's BLUE. There's nothing green about it. I don't have a truck, so I have no way of returning it. I'll just have to buy a different slipcover.2
Uppland sofaSarahThis sofa is comfortable for sitting or napping. However when I looked on Ikea to see if I could get a darker cover, the reviews on covers were very mixed. I wanted dark green or brown but there is no brown and the green covers are reported not to fit!! How does that work??4
SmellBenSofa has had a sour smell to it since I got it. Figured it was just off gassing and would go away, after 3 months of owning it and washing the covers the smell still persists2

Thanks IkeaHughA great product for those looking for an affordable nice looking easy to transport and easy to assemble low odor/voc new couch. 5
uppland sofaAmyGood Lord why doesn't ikea discontinue this piece of garbage? I purchased and returned this years ago. It was crappy then and still appears to be crappy. DONT BUY THIS SOFA! If I could have given it zero stars I would have.1
Broke in less than a yearAmaliaBack cushions extremely flimsy, never filled out and folded over, seat cushions way too hard, and the arm rest simply broke away from the couch. Garbage.1
Uppland perfect for home or rental property.JenniferWe recently purchased an Uppland sofa and two armchairs for a rental property and have been delighted with them. My husband said the sofa is great for napping. We have other Ikea furniture at home and I love that it is so easy to wash and/or replace the covers when necessary.5
Dimensions are wrongJenniferThe seat is not 18.5” from floor to surface, it’s 21”. I’ve had several ikea couches and this is awful - hard to assemble and different from the store model.1
Comfy!SusanLove this sofa! Very comfortable, looks great. I only wish they tacked the corner flap down because no amount of clipping or pressing keeps it down. I had to finally tack them and it wasn't easy to sew through5
Uppland Sofa - Kilanda light beigeKatieOk, I love the sofa itself but do not love the cover. The fabric is a little shiny and makes it look dirty all the time. I'm constantly washing it. Glad I can take everything off to wash. I guess I'll be buying a different cover at some point.4
Uppland sofa as expectedMarianneI'm satisfied with the sofa, like the colour, too. I had to tip the sofa on its side to fit the cover more easily, but that went quickly.5
Perfect sofa!ElizabethLiterally sooooo comfy!! I love how easy it is to put together and the foam density + springs makes this a long lasting couch. Really impressed and you cannot get me off it!! 10/10
I really have no idea what the negative reviews are on about, so if you are on the fence, trust me, it's amazing!!! (I went with the cotton cover because I hate poly and it's so nice!)5
Poor slipcoversAliceI have the previous version of IKEA sofa the Ektorp The covers were indestructible. I have had dogs and stains came out and they did not snag. I preferred the size of the older version as well. I purchased an additional love seat and had to buy the Uppland. The new slipcovers for the Uppland are terrible. The are scratchy and uncomfortable. The dogs have snagged the cushions too. I ordered an extra cover and the newer fabric is even worse than the original. I would not purchase this sofa due to the quality of the slipcovers. I will have to purchase a slipcover from somewhere else as these are junk and make the couch unusable.2
Great sofaBonnieThis is a great sofa that is comfortable and the warranty was also a good selling point5
High, firm and comfortable couchJeffRelatively firm, comfortable couch! The biggest caveat: try this out in the showroom first, as this sofa sits quite a bit higher than others! It's a high enough seating position that frankly, it's not going to work well for everyone. I love it. I'll admit, I mostly use mine for naps! So I'm often stretched out across it, rather than properly seated in it. And the extra height somehow accommodates napping.... don't ask me to explain it.
I was able to unload and drag/carry the main box into my house by myself. Assembly was straightforward and easy to follow in the included instructions. I'm really picky about loose/wobbly furniture, and this sofa is very solid. Appearance/feel is of something more expensive than what you pay.
I'm very happy with the Hakebo Gray color; it coordinates with almost anything. Nice bonus: it's extra tall and roomy UNDER the sofa, and my dog loves scooching under there and napping. We nap a lot in this house lol. Recommended!5
