It's a good price. My mil is most likely to sleep on it, and as I quite like her, I'd like it to be vaguely comfortable. Sorry, should have linked! I. Have got this recently and we find it really comfortable as a sofa and a bed, it's quite firm but I prefer that, it's really roomy and the storage is incredibly handy. Thanks for the reply. The storage really appeals. Do you need a mattress topper? Do you use separate pillows (and store them), or use the supplied cushions? I don't use s topper but of your MIL likes a softer mattress then you might want to get a king one, we just put a king sheet on and make it up like a bed, I use separate pillows but I'm precious about preserving my new sofas cleanliness We store a complete bedding set in the storage bit so it's always ready to him it's so fabulously easy to pull in and out.

It's a lot bigger than it feels/looks in store if that makes sense.the best mini crib mattress reviews Hmmm.

meaning, the sofa as an L doesnt fit entirely well, but I could keep it as two separate couches and then put them together when the bed is needed. does it make any sense? We had one of these. I found when the bed was made up, one half was hard, the other half was softer. You can buy a mattress topper but we never bothered. We also used separate pillows and kept all the bedding in the unit underneath. Hi, just bumping this to see if some of the later questions can be answered? No, the couch cannot be taken apart in two. Great couch, though, especially if you live in an apartment! All feature work as well as I've hoped. We often have friends stay on it, even sleep on it ourselves sometimes for fun. Bumping this post as keen to know if anyone has any other views on this sofa bed. It's my fave at the moment after lots of research but still waiting to take the plunge & buy. Sit on it for a while as you might at home. If you like it, get it. We have it & like it a lot.

We have put a topper on for guests & they have been very happy. Had it for 3 months or so. PS I store 2 pillows & a double duvet in a vacuum bag plus topper in the storage part. It is well thought out. We've recently bought it. Nobody slept on it yet, but very comfy as a sofaI bought this version of the friheten this past weekend. It is a very firm couch. I am not sure I like it...... At the store it seemed ok but now I have spent more time, It is just very hard....the storage is good, it looks very modern. Friheten looks and feels awesome, a bit firmer than the Manstad but definitely more ergonomic. They removed one of the arms (or lowered it) so longer people would be able to stretch in full sleeping in it. I used to have the older version called Manstad and was considering the friheten to replace it when the sofa's fabric was falling apart, but then I found these guys called comfort works from Au and they are able to build you a custom slipcover for all your IKEA sofas, definitely get the friheten, here's another post I found for Friheten slipcover

I want to buy a corner sofa bed. Ideally it should have room for two adults to sleep (occasionally)My budget is £1000. Can you recommend any? Most cheep once have cushions that wear off very quickly. So I would like to find a durable one. Hi Chazinda have you found one that you like?

I purchased my first Ektorp two years ago and really love it. In that time I've been asked about the sofa by lots of friends, both online and in real life, so I'm here to give a comprehensive review of my experiences. Here's the lowdown on why I love this sofa series:

2) Nicely tailored slipcovers (that don't look like slipcovers) in a variety of colors 3) Slipcovers can be removed & laundered 4) Easy to assemble 5) Good quality that stands the test of time The EKTORP series offers a full size sofa, loveseat, arm chair, footstool, and sectional options. I've owned the sofa, footstool, and until recently, two armchairs (which I sold in order to make room for another full size sofa). Each piece of furniture is purchased separately from the slipcovers, allowing you to easily change out the look as well as remove the slipcovers to wash when needed. I haven't had to wash mine yet but I've read lots of other reviews from people who have and say it's quite easy. The slipcovers vary in price depending on the color and material you choose. For the combination I chose I paid $499 for each sofa (without tax). I chose 'Nordvalla Gray' for my slipcovers because it's dark enough to hide everyday stains and I just really love the color gray!

My second choice is the basic white, which I've read is really easily laundered, and this is the least expensive of the slipcover options. What I really like about the slipcovers in addition to their washability, is that they don't look like your typical slipcovers. They are tailored very nicely with a piping detail so they fit the couch frames perfectly. In fact, most people don't even realize they are slipcovers when viewing the set in person. The Nordvalla gray cover is a very thick material, almost denim like, not as soft as the white slipcovers but very durable. Let's talk assembly...they are SUPER easy to assemble. I put mine together by myself in about 20 minutes (including putting on the cushion covers). The frame comes as one piece, with the back folded down, and the arms and feet are unattached. First you pop up the back of the frame, then attach the arms, then the feet, then add the slipcover to the frame... Finally, you add the slipcovers to each individual cushion and then you're done!

What I like about these covers and cushions, is that they are reversible so you can easily rotate the cushions for even use and wear. Every so often I rotate my cushions so that I don't have a 'dent' in the spots that are sat on most often. I think this has helped keep the life in my cushions. Because I bought my first Ektorp sofa two years ago, I have a side by side comparison of the 2-year old sofa set next to the brand new sofa. The cushions on the new sofa definitely have more 'fluffiness' to them but I'm really pleased with how well the older sofa has held up over time... The arms of my older sofa don't have any pilling yet, but I would imagine over a longer period of time they might. Also, it's important to note that I don't have any kids or pets jumping on my sofas (other than the occasional visit from friends) every day so my furniture is gently used. However, in all of my research on this series before purchasing, I read countless reviews of people with kids and pets who raved about the durability/washability.
