Thinking about getting an IKEA GOTEBORG sofa (or already own one)? You’re in the right place. Whether you:

Found one second-hand and want to give it a refresh
Already have one but its slipcover has seen better days
Just need the exact measurements before reconfiguring your living room

— this guide has you covered.

IKEA GOTEBORG quick facts

Status: Discontinued by IKEA (no longer available new)
Slipcover availability: Comfort Works offers tailored couch covers for the 3-seater
Measurements: W220 × D107 × H64 cm
Cool factor: Spacious deep seating that’s perfect for lounging.
Ugh factor: Bulky silhouette and low armrests, not the most visually light design.

Our verdict: comfort points, design quirks, and cosy moments

The GOTEBORG is all about comfort — with wide, deep seats, it’s a sofa that practically invites you to curl up with a book or binge-watch your favourite shows. The relaxed shape and generous proportions make it ideal for big living rooms or family spaces.

Why it’s not for everyone

Its size and boxy profile can make it look heavy in smaller rooms. The low armrests also mean less head support if you like to lean back.

Discontinued but not completely unavailable

Since IKEA has discontinued the GOTEBORG, your best bet is second-hand marketplaces like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, or local charity shops. The frame is usually built to last, so you can often find one in good condition.
