Our Review.
There aren’t many negatives that can be said with the classic Ektorp as it is a perfect entry level sofa for most families with children. Durable, long-lasting, inexpensive, plus removable and washable slipcovers definitely makes this the most practical model of IKEA.
Although some Ektorp configurations has been discontinued in IKEA stores, Comfort Works is still producing replacement slipcovers for the IKEA Ektorp. Our Ektorp slipcovers also come complete with pleated skirts and piping, just like the original.

I’m looking for leather slip covers for my 3 seater Ektorp couch and two Jenny Lyund chairs. I’m located in Canada. Do you sell? How much and what colours are available?
Thanks

Hey Jill, we dont do the leather covers for the Ektorp cuz we don’t feel that they look as nice due to its round arms design;
here’s a link to the products you mentioned anyhow:

Hello,
I have 2 Ikea Ektorp 3-seater sofas that are upholstered in brown leather. They’ve worked out beautifully through many years of young boys and some pets. However, the cat has scratched up some of the corners, and the couches are starting to show some wear. Besides, we’re just getting a bit tired of the dark brown and want to freshen up the decor a bit.
However, I was dismayed to find that because the leather sofas are constructed with the seat cushions permanently attached (unlike the fabric sofas), they cannot take the available Ikea Ektorp slipcovers. I wish the salesperson had made this clear upfront when we purchased the sofas, as the ability to change style/color was one of our reasons for choosing Ektorp. I also understand that slipcovers can be hard to keep straight on leather furniture because it is too slippery.
What solutions can you suggest? Do you think we could separate the seat cushions from the frame without terribly damaging the function of the sofas? If we did so, could we use the regular Ektorp slipcovers? Would it damage the leather further to put a cover on it?
Thank you for your help.

I’m sorry to ask if already stated – do you ship US and is the 2+2 available or not available? I am not clear on what is stated above. Sorry if I am being dense.

Hi, I would like to know if if is possible to shorten a slipcover for the Ektorp 3 seater with chaise lounge so that it would fit on an Ektorp 2 seater loveseat. It looks like the cushions are the same size on both models. Am I right?
Thanks and happy new year!!

Happy new year Marie,
I’m not sure what exactly you need to get done, are you saying that you already have a 3 seater + chaise slipcover for the ektorp you want to modify? if that’s the case, it’s probably best to get in touch with your local seamstress we don’t really do modification to an existing slipcover.
Having said that, the Ektorp 2 seater slipcover is still available from IKEA, but in case you want to spruce it up with a bit more with a custom slipcover, here’s the page for the custom loveseat cover: http://comfort-works.com/en/ektorp/ektorp-2-seater-sofa-slipcover-222#fabric-51
