Structural elements

As already mentioned, the manufacturer does not impose the complete set. The client has the right to take only the necessary parts. When selecting components, you need to be guided by the indicated warehouse department numbers.

The standard assembly of a sofa is a mattress, frame, cover. If desired, you can take a special box for linen and 2 pillows for the armrests (also in covers).

Characteristics of components:

1. A sofa mattress can be of different thicknesses and densities. Thin and budget ones wear out quickly. If the operation is frequent, then it is advisable to select thicker and more expensive models. You can choose from three modifications: foam rubber latex, of medium quality - Hovet (soft), the highest quality and most expensive - Walla (two-layer, medium hard), cheap and quickly deteriorating - Levos (12 cm, single layer, hard).
2. The frame is moderately durable. It is easy to assemble and not heavy.
3. The covers are easily removed and interchangeable. They can be dry cleaned or washed in a washing machine. They are presented in the following colors: white, brown, blue, beige, burgundy, red, green, gray, purple, black. You can select several options and change them periodically.
4. Pillows are additional elements that serve as armrests; their covers can also be easily removed. You can buy a sofa without them.
5. A box without a lid is installed under the base of the sofa. It is not attached, but simply placed below, taking up all the space there. If necessary, it can be removed to another place. Bed linen, blankets and pillows are usually stored in it, but this is not important.

The built-in drawer does not have a lid, which means that the laundry will not be protected from dust. Accordingly, it is not suitable for long-term storage of things.

A sales consultant will help you assemble the complete set. When choosing components, you should pay attention to the size and color of the product. You can verify the availability of a particular item by phone or online.

What upholstery materials should be preferred?

The most common option is thick textiles, matting, linen, cotton. They are durable and easy to clean. If the model is for the kitchen, it is advisable to purchase a sofa with faux leather upholstery. There are also models made of genuine leather and combined types of products.

Modular sofas

The main advantage of modern Ikea modular sofas is the ability to change the configuration, update the interior and independently create new combinations that affect not only the comfort of use, but also the appearance and design of the room. You can create compositions from existing elements or supplement them with new components. The variety of covers allows you to experiment with the appearance and bring something new into the design of the room.

Vimla

In the photo from the Ikea catalog you will see that the Vimle series includes standard rectangular two- and three-seater sofas, variations with open ends, corner models with or without chaise longues, designed for three, four or five seats. For a spacious living room, you can choose a six-seater U-shaped piece of furniture. Additionally, corner open parts, chaise longues, seat sections, and armrests are purchased.

The upholstery is made from materials that are pleasant to the touch, have a smooth texture and do not require complex care, which simply need to be wiped periodically with a damp cloth. The filling is made of highly elastic polyurethane foam, which quickly restores its shape and provides optimal support for the body.

Inexpensive sofas

First, let's go through inexpensive models from IKEA: Solsta, Club.

One of the differences between these two models is the color. The Solsta model is also suitable if you want to use the sofa as a sleeping place. The advantage of the Club model is its reliability.

Escarby's furniture costs an order of magnitude higher; it is often purchased for housing that is planned to be rented out.

The model is perfect for sleeping. The Solsta model is more suitable as a guest sofa.

Despite the fact that budget options from IKEA are quite cheap, their quality and reliability are unshakable. Next we will talk about the most popular models of sofas from IKEA.

Monstad - famous sofa from IKEA brand

The most famous and popular model among all sofas at IKEA Monstad.

The main advantage of such a sofa is the presence of a compartment for linen.

Also, this sofa can easily be folded out into a full-fledged sleeping place.

Ikea is known all over the world and offers a wide range of quality products. Everyone can choose the best option for themselves. They allow you to refresh the interior by adding elegant notes or, on the contrary, bright sunny accents. Next we will talk in more detail about the types of sofa covers.

Lottorp - luxury and comfort

This model is more suitable for a classic interior.

The model also retains its good appearance for a long time.

The Lottorp model is very versatile as it can be used not only as a sofa but also as a sleeping place.

Compared to other similar sofas, the backs and cushions of this furniture do not need to be removed when unfolding or folding.

Klippan - maximum glamor in the house

You just need to look at Klippan furniture to accurately determine their style. They are catchy, attractive, and express the individual preferences of their owners.

This model does not apply to a modular setting. In this case, legs with armrests are very relevant, fitting into the overall design.

The designers have developed a model that is striking in shape and cladding shades. First of all, this environment is suitable for young people, as well as for those who keep up with fashion.

The collection has leather and textile upholstery. Textile upholstery is sold as a set with a cover.

A sophisticated consumer will love a piece of leather furniture. There is no need to doubt the choice: both options are perfect for constant use.

We only talked about some series of furniture from IKEA. In fact, the product range is more diverse, and sofas will fit into every interior and any room.

How to assemble

The sofa is delivered disassembled. Its assembly is simple and does not require the help of a specialist. The main components are the mattress, covers and base. The frame is assembled from:

• support posts;
• slats;
• frame hoses;
• brackets.

Parts and transformation mechanisms are secured with nuts and screws.

Instructions for assembling the Bedinge sofa:

1. Assembling the frame frame. The hoses must be connected with supporting parts (brackets). Attach supports (posts) to them and install plywood slats.
2. Installation of mechanisms. Attach transformation mechanisms to the side parts of the structure using bolts.
3. Placement of the mattress. It should be attached to the unfolded Beding sofa. It is held on the grille using Velcro, which are fixed on each side.
4. Working with covers. Place covers on the seat, backrest and armrests-pillows (if any). At this stage the sofa should be folded. Secure all capes with zippers.

The sofa transforms quickly. In this model, the type of mechanism is Eurobook. It's easy to use, but not suitable for frequent deployment. It works if you lift its lower part towards the back until it clicks. Then the seat lowers, and with it the top. Thus, the product folds out into a double bed. Afterwards, it can be reassembled, turning it into a compact seating area.

Consumers note that the mechanism works every once in a while, is fragile and breaks down over time. Replacing it, fortunately, is not difficult.

A sofa bed can be placed in a room with limited space - in a small apartment, house, even in a country house. It’s comfortable to rest on during the day and sleep on it at night. This is also a significant saving for those who cannot yet purchase a double bed. In this case, the Ikea Bedinge sofa will be a suitable replacement.
