Our Review.

A sturdy and long lasting sofa. Has wide generous seating and  big armrest. However, the seat cushions are also very slippery and always slide off the sofa. There have  also been several complains that the support beams are quick weak and breaks easily.

      That’s our pet peeve with the Ekeskog! Luckily, our slipcovers are made with suede backing to give the seats a little added friction, so you’ll stop slipping down. You could DIY with some velcro on your sofa- let us know how it goes.

      I got some wide Velcro, 4″, fixed to base and cushions. Glued using polyurethane wood glue. Rock solid

    This is by far the most comfortable sofa IKEA has ever built. Actually I discovered Comfort Works as I was looking around for new slipover covers for my 12 year old 3-seater.
    Had to reinforce the wooden eams afetr 8 years of hey use but adter that the structura has been perfect.
    My only real gripe is about the back cushions which quite quicly lost their shape and they are completely sloppy looking now – but after 12 years I don’t mind getting new cushions made and new covers, as I am dtermined to extend the life of this guy as much as possible, even if it entails spending more dough that what a new sofa would cost.
    Definitely recommend it – sometimes shows up on eBay at bargain prices.

      Awesome, Miguel, it’s pretty inspiring how attached you are to your Ekeskog 🙂

      The good news is, ordering new foam to replace your old back cushions should be a lot cheaper than a whole new sofa. Plus, you can always get replacement covers to make sure those new back cushions don’t get too beat up!

    Hi there, this may sound like a silly question, but what is the difference between the Ekeskog sofa and sofa-bed? Mine turns into a bed just by flipping the cushions over, but was there some other kind of sofa-bed in this style? I would like to order a replacement cover but can’t tell the difference between your pictures of the sofa versus sofa-bed, they look identical!
    Many thanks,
    Eleanor

      It’s not silly at all, Eleanor!

      If you have the Ekeskog sofa-bed, then you’ll have to get the Ekeskog sofa-bed slipcovers as the sofa bed is actually a little smaller than the regular sofa and has different measurements altogether. This is why the slipcovers for the sofa and sofa-bed aren’t interchangeable.

      However; there is actually another model that looks very similar and is often mistaken for the Ekeskog –the Hovas! As far as we know, the Hovas does not have a sofa-bed version, so you’re safe there. In any case, the best way to find out exactly which model your sofa-bed belongs to is by 2 ways;

      1) Checking for a brand/model tag (this is usually attached to the frame of the sofa)
      2) Comparing dimensions (Ekeskog sofa bed basic dimensions are: Width 238cm, Depth 97cm, Height 68cm)

      And if you’re still unsure, just shoot us an email with a photo of your sofa bed at info@comfortworks.com.au and one of our friendly agents will be very happy to help. 🙂

    Do you still stock Maddison Rose fabric please? I ordered covers for my a while ago and would now like to order some arm rest protectors.

      Hi Sally,

      Thanks for asking! We do still have the Madison fabric – it has been re-named to “Brushed Cotton” and you may find them under the “Pure Cotton” category. We would strongly recommend picking up some samples before getting the armrest covers as dye lots do vary a little between batches.

      Hope this helps!
