Quality for years
The IKEA sofa catalog is updated annually. Models that were developed many years ago are being improved, and they are being replaced by new design solutions. Modern non-woven materials: polypropylene and polyester, high-density polyurethane foam provide high comfort and durability.
IKEA sofas serve their owners for decades without losing quality or appearance, the density of the filling prevents dents from forming, and the wear-resistant fabrics of the cover with protection from fading allow the sofa to look the same as immediately after purchase even after many years of use.
Thanks to the photos of IKEA sofas presented in the catalog, which show the sofa from different angles, assembled and unfolded, you can get a complete picture of each model, choosing the one you need to suit your parameters. And after studying reviews about IKEA sofas from satisfied customers, you will receive reliable information “first-hand”.
What could a modern kitchen corner look like?
The traditional understanding of this piece of furniture is already somewhat outdated.
Modern kitchen corners can also be called a compact dining area, in which, instead of a traditional corner sofa, a sofa couch, sofa, ottoman, bench with soft cushions or a small straight sofa can be used. At IKEA you will find everything you need to make this space in the kitchen not only functional, but also stylish.
With sleeping place
For many residents of Russia and the CIS countries, the problem of shortage of square meters remains relevant. Having an extra bed would at least solve the issue of accommodating guests. And considering that modern developers rarely offer apartments with kitchen areas less than 10 sq.m., the idea of a sofa in the kitchen is becoming increasingly popular.
Among the most suitable sofas for the kitchen are double and single-seater sofas: “Lycksele Levos”, the new “Grellsta”, “Vallentuna”, “Mardal”, “Bakkabru”, “Landskrona”, “Vimle”, “Vilasund”. They easily turn into a bed, and when assembled they do not take up much space.
The Hemnes couch is another good option that can serve as a bed if necessary. It is also equipped with two storage drawers. In normal times, it is better to supplement the couch with pillows to compensate for the lack of a backrest and partially cover the wide seat.

The advantage of such sections is that they are equipped with storage drawers under the seat. They can be placed close to each other in the required quantity, but the downside is that one such sofa section in IKEA is very expensive.

We'll talk about kitchen sofas and kitchen corners. And why our consumers are increasingly choosing an IKEA sofa.
IKEA sofas are beautiful, comfortable and reliable.
If the owners of the house can boast of having a beautiful and spacious living room, then furnishing the kitchen is not such an important task. If we talk specifically about the functionality of kitchen furniture. The only question is design and aesthetics. But, if you don’t have a large room, then your kitchen has an important task. The task is to become a reception area, a room for cozy meetings and evening gatherings. And perhaps even a temporary overnight stay.
Therefore, practical owners give preference not even to soft corners, but to full-fledged kitchen sofas. With their help, you can save space in the kitchen, as they often have additional niches. That is, you can hide all sorts of household items and kitchen utensils. Make the atmosphere in the kitchen softer and more comfortable. And most importantly, when you buy a folding sofa, you become the owner of an additional bed.
If you decide to buy a sofa and even decide on a choice, don’t rush, it’s worth checking it for several quality parameters.
Covers: easy to care for
The best IKEA sofas combine three main factors: comfort, functionality and ease of care. Many models have a removable cover that can be washed in a washing machine, as well as replaced with a new one when you want to make changes to the decor of the room.
IKEA sofa covers undergo the same lengthy quality checks as all products of the Swedish brand.
Even in one of the most budget models - "Knopparp" - the polyester cover has high levels of wear resistance (forty thousand exposure cycles with a standard of fifteen thousand) and light fastness, resistance to fading (six on a scale from one to eight).
IKEA offers a wide range of sofas to suit every taste and budget, from inexpensive two-seater models with fabric covers to multi-seat units that can be individually selected, covered in leather or a leather substitute.
What you need to create your project
Most people see the external beauty of the products of this company and do not think about what exactly the cabinets, shelves and sofas are made of. To find out all the details, open the catalog and look - the materials are labeled under each model.
Of course, it will take a lot of effort and patience to create your own project, but for people with “hands” or experienced craftsmen, this process should not cause any particular difficulties.
What does a corner kitchen consist of?
Before planning, you need to consult with the owner of the future dining room-kitchen and clarify which elements and furniture accessories will be useful to her.
Traditionally, IKEA offers the following set for these rooms:
- Floor-mounted kitchen cabinets are convenient small structures that can be combined or displayed one on one, building entire piles of cabinets.
- Wall cabinets - without this attribute it is difficult to imagine a harmonious arrangement of space for storing dishes and various spices.
- Cabinets for built-in appliances - the abundance of electrical appliances simply requires special niches. They protect equipment from grease and dust, and also hide unsightly rear walls that are unsafe for children and pets.
- Tall cabinets or panels are narrow furniture options that are ideal to be built into hard-to-reach corners of the room.
- Drawers, doors, handles and other fittings - this company offers a huge range of components. Therefore, you can make the main parts and surfaces yourself, and you can already purchase beautiful modern accessories and metal parts.
- Sofas and benches - there is complete freedom of choice here: you can buy a large leather sofa from Ikea, or you can build a corner yourself, choosing the finishing texture to match your brand new kitchen.

Frame material
Economical models are made mainly from fiberboard with a veneer coating. In this case, the veneer is coated with several layers of varnish to protect it from moisture.
Mid-price sofas can be made from MDF. The frame of such sofas can be covered with upholstery material.
