Free form
IKEA sofa models are often far from standards, among the range of companies you can find single-sized mini-structures, small sofas with an arbitrary back and handrails. But the greatest freedom in the formation of contours has Modular products. From the set of square and rectangular modules it is easy to collect a comfortable design for each special case (reception of guests, sleep, private zone).
Separate components include pouf, ottoman, chair and angular elements, sleeping part with a transforming mechanism. Each time you change the modules, new furniture forms are created, and the interior is updated. The size of the modular sofa depends on the scale of the room and the desire of the buyer, which himself decides how much he needs sections, and what kind they should be.
It can be purchased from 2 to 10 or more elements of the future sofa, and depending on their number, form a straight, angular or P-shaped version. People with fantasy are able to create original free shapes of upholstered furniture.

Cabinet-bed-sofa
The original multifunctional set of furniture (three in one) is indispensable for small apartments, studios, for large families in need of an extra bed. The bed is cleaned on the day in the closet and does not overload the space, and at night the comfortable bedroom is ready to take hosts. During the transformation of the bed in the closet and back, the sofa does not move, and during the daytime the day is a good place to rest.
To lift the bed in the cabinet in IKEA models, the mechanisms of two species are used.
- With springs. The mechanism is based on the properties of the springs to shrink and straighten. With the help of bolts, it is possible to adjust the workforce of the product, simply removing part of the springs during an excess of power or complement the design with them with its disadvantage.
- Gas lift . Works with high pressure generated by compressed gas. A sufficiently light shock - both bed smoothly, without effort, moves up, and from easy pressing on the surface of bed - returns down. The design is fixed using locks.
Sofa chair
The mini-sofas similar to the wide armchairs, with transformation into a single bed, are available in the development of IKEA in unequal versions. Models are released with legs, with wheels or without them, setting the chair to the framework of the frame. The designs are folded in different ways, but they are all extremely simple: it is enough to pull the seat on yourself - and the sofa will turn into a compact bed.
Sofas-chairs are standing no cheaper single bed, But they have proven themselves well in small rooms, where there is a need to fold the bed, freeing the space for vital activity during the daytime. Acquire the sofas of this type and as an additional bedroom for guests, and as a piece of furniture for the cottage.
In the range of IKEA, the sofas-chairs of the "Lixel" series and "Wattvoken" are particularly popular.
Assembly instructions
As already mentioned, the products in the house of the consumer delivered in the form of a well-packed designer accompanied by a detailed and understandable instruction. According to the attached scheme, you can both collect and disassemble the IKEA sofa without excess voltage. As an example, we propose to collect and install the "Beding" model.
- Unpack the mattress . The roll is rolled up as much as possible, and it seems, the product will not be able to take the right form. But in fact, after opening the package in a couple of minutes, the mattress is ready for use. The soft coating consists of two parts (back and seat) connected long zipper. The mattress is equipped with a cover and velcro for fixing to a base basis.
- Open box with frame. It is surprising for the packaging conciseness: just enough, and there is nothing superfluous in the set - simply, accessible and understandable. We open the instruction, and proceed to the assembly.
- Installing brackets is a relatively difficult stage. Here the main thing is to understand, in which grooves are long screws, and in which mock are short. Unfortunately, there is no detailed description on this account in the scheme, so I warn you - start with short parts.
- Next, connect the seat with the back, as indicated in the instructions. There is nothing complicated in this process. When the work is completed, you can admire the finished framework.
- It remains only to the assembled basis to attach the mattress . With the help of lipuchk, this is done quite simple. From above on a soft coating, we put on the case, which comes in a set with a sofa. Cape, like the mattress, consists of two parts connected by zipper. With the sides of the product there are convenient pockets, you can put a phone, the remote control from the TV, book and other little things.
I would like to note the intelligible and intelligible instructions, the simplicity of the configuration, the thoughtfulness of the assembly - all the details are enough. As a bonus, a small wrench and an end hexagon remained. Collecting the sofa IKEA, you realize that this is a firm with which it is pleasant to deal with.
Examples in the interior
The company annually develops a large number of new models, supporting fashion trends in its products. Upholstered furniture immaculately embedded in modern interiors, which we suggest to consider in a selection of examples.
- Modular sofas are good For young energetic families not tolerant conservatism and thirsting change in the interior. Using modules, the form of upholstered furniture can be changed at its discretion.
- White color Expands the space, fills it with air and light. The company often refers to the production of white models. We give two examples, one of which is a large and stylish set of upholstered furniture, and the second is a cozy corner sofa with comfortable side pockets.
- Bright The accent sofa made of artificial leather is suitable for calm design.
- The model range of IKEA includes compact products. For small apartments, unfolding in the simplest way. It is only worth pulling the seat on yourself, and a sofa consisting of three sections will decompose into a double soft bed.
- IKEA soft furniture covers - a special topic . They change the appearance of a simple sofa, stylizing it for different interiors. For example, a restrained striped case is suitable for classic design, and the Provence direction will emphasize the bedspread with flower print and ruffles.
Review reviews
Because IKEA furniture stores are actively visited, the Internet has been shot by reviews about their products. After analyzing a large number of opinions, we can make some conclusions on consumer statements. There is a variety of cost of products, which is a bit more expensive than local production models, but much cheaper than imported products. Reviews about the sofas themselves are very contradictory: To how lucky. Some models are characterized by good quality and long-term operational period, comfortable sleeping place.
But part of the users notes Fast seating of mattresses, fragile slats, weak transforming mechanisms. Of course, the sofas begin to creak over time, and the sleeping place comes into disrepair.
Covers can not be washed in a typewriter, you need a sparing cleaning, a warning on this subject can be found on the company's website.
Outdoor linen box is not protected from dust. Models clearly lacking pillows for a comfortable stay on the seat. The positive reviews include a beautiful appearance of sofas, they look modern and stylish. Many consumers are satisfied with the budget cost, the ability to change covers that are always in IKEA outlets.
Many people like the laconicity of structures, their minimalism, compactness and light weight. Having studied a large number of opinions about IKEA products, it can be concluded that this is the most controversial furniture company, reviews about the advantages and disadvantages of which are equally numerous. You can buy a stylish modern sofa for a little money, but how long it will last, no one knows.
