Looking to get an IKEA outdoor sofa where you can envision yourself lounging under the sun, or even beneath the stars at night?
Let’s find out which IKEA outdoor sofa is the best for you.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
1. Applaro
The Applaro is made of hardwood and that itself gives it the effortless, relaxed look that makes it fitting for the outdoors. This range is very much suited for patio decoration and it has a wide range of furniture besides seating units. This series has outdoor grills with cabinets right up to outdoor dining table sets.
Design-wise, the Applaro has the stereotypical outdoor design: wooden finishing, square slits and an overall squarish outline. It’s a fairly modern design and interestingly, is armless. This gives you a more fluid seating layout which you can re-shuffle whenever you need to. You can also remove the cushions and use the sections as they are, for a full-on outdoorsy feel.
The comfort factor for this IKEA outdoor sofa series is in that it has additional cushions for its sofas and loveseats, in place of the armrests. The movable cushions are also an interesting feature, allowing you the freedom to get creative with them. Convert the seat cushions as floor cushions on your patio, just for lounging around. Cool, huh?
The Applaro can be used interchangeably outdoors and indoors, owing to its design style. Its knife-edged back cushions make up for the stiff and unforgiving feel of the wooden frame, giving you just the right amount of support you need.

2. Solleron
The distant cousin to the discontinued IKEA Arholma, the Solleron is similar yet subtly unique. Despite having the same modular design as the Arholma, the Solleron stands out due to its typical, wide, square arms and its single, statement-piece sections.
The Solleron has a comparatively limited fluidity, a contrast to the endless sectional combinations promised by the Arholma’s design, and this is mainly due to its chunky armrest design. But, this also gives the Solleron its ability to stand out and fill the room with only a few pieces, instead of needing to construct a giant sofa in order to decorate the outside of your home.
The Solleron and the Arholma earned similar scores for comfort. The Solleron, however, has a slight upper hand. The seat cushions are much wider, providing more uniform back support, no matter where on the couch you decide to sit on.
A Solleron 3-seater is $1,095, a bit on the higher side. The price does not really justify the design and comfort, seeing that it closely resembles the Arholma, which is comparatively cheaper.

3. Bondholmen
Compared to the previous 2 models, the Bondholmen comes in a cool-toned grey instead of a warm brown colour. Although it’s a neutral that’s easy to fit into all kinds of spaces, there’s also a possibility that the Bondholmen could look dull.
As versatile as it is, going with the few neutral cushion covers from IKEA may make you feel like there is a need for more spice to your Bondholmen. In comes the Summer Vibes Collection, with a wide range of vibrant-coloured couch covers for you to choose from, complete with stain-resistant, liquid-resistant, mildew-resistant and UV protection for the best indoor-outdoor use.

Everything about the Bondholmen screams summer, including the way it’s built. It is made out of eucalyptus wood, which has a naturally high oil content that helps protect against weather, wind and mould. Plus, its plastic feet keep the furniture dry in case it comes in contact with damp surfaces.
The Bondholmen makes storing easy too as you’re able to stack 2 armchairs on top of one another to save some space.
Priced at $809 for a 4-seater set that comes with a table, we’d say the price of the Bondholmen matches its value because of what it offers.
4. Nammaro
A new one in the market, the Nammaro looks great whether it’s with the Kuddarna or Duvholmen cushions. As it is a current model, the Nammaro is available in several variations such as the 2-seater, 3-seater, chaise, armchair, table etc. Although each piece is different, the similar designs allow you to mix and match all the items in the series easily, according to your preference and the space that you have.
Made of high-density acacia wood, the Nammaro is durable and is definitely going to last years. Durability aside, we like how it’s designed to look so casual and inviting, as if it’s telling us to go sit down and relax on it, all the time. However, the IKEA cushions that can be used with Nammaro may not be as comfortable due to the fabric.
We have what they don’t – the Summer Vibes Collection. Colourful and comfortable to the touch, these couch covers bring the fun into your home this season. Available in 14 different colours and 4 different fabrics, you will be spoiled for choice.
UPGRADE YOUR IKEA NAMMARO SOFA
The Nammaro 4-seater conversation set is priced at $645, which we think is quite affordable, especially because it comes together with a table. In this set, only the individual seats have armrests, whereas the 2-seater does not. However, they do have the Nammaro backrest sold separately, so you can just add them to the seats for support if you’d like.
If you want the Nammaro sofa for a lower price, then you should look at the 3-seater (with backrests attached at the sides and the back) that costs only $485 for the Kuddarna cushion option.
5. Segeron
Powder-coated in white, the Segeron steel frames can transform any outdoor space into a spot of elegance. Although stylish with the beige or dark grey Frösön/Duvholmen cushions, we think that outdoor sofas could be so much more fun with vibrant-coloured, stain-resistant and fade-resistant sofa covers from our Summer Vibes Collection.

Another thing we like about the IKEA Segeron is that you’re able to combine different seating sections according to how you want it. Whether it’s because of the space you have, the style in which you prefer it to be or the shape that floats your boat, it’s easy to design the space with the Segeron.
Priced at $1,025 for the 3-seat conversation set, the Segeron is a little more hefty compared to the other outdoor sofa models mentioned above. However, we think the IKEA Segeron looks really good and so we’d say it’s like paying a huge amount for its aesthetics.
As pretty as it looks, there are still flaws to the IKEA Segeron. The seat and back cushions may be comfortable, but they slide off easily from the frame. We recommend getting anti-slip cushion pads or even tie-back cushions so that you’re not sliding off the sofa every few minutes.
Now that you’ve got the complete IKEA outdoor sofa review, let us know which one will be your pick!
Don’t forget that you can always change the look and functionality of your outdoor sofa just by slipping on sofa covers.
