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.

Shipping to US for the Ektorp corner 2+2 slipcover is around $40 – but you can get the shipping fee rebated in exchange for an honest feedback (both positive or negative)

Hi – I have the Ecktorp love seat and sofa in leather. I would like to know if you sell a slipcover for the leather sofas or if you can suggest a DIY way to put a slipcover over them?
Thank you!
by Henry
Hey Patti,
Typically, the older ektorp leather sofa have it’s seats and back cushions sewn onto the sofa, hence not removable for the purpose of slipcovering its individual pieces.
However, we’ve several customers in the past who snipped/cut the seams to separate the pieces and ordered an Ektorp slipcover with its cushion covers slightly altered to fit. Let me know you’re interested in finding out more 🙂
Speak soon,
Henry

What is that heavenly sofa pictured above for movie night snuggling? An ektorp loveseat with ottomans? Something else? Please share how I can recreate this!
Thanks,
Ashley

Hey Ashley!
That’s basically an Ektorp chaise LEFT + an Ektorp chaise RIGHT combined together 🙂
Unfortunately these are no longer available at IKEA, but you can definitely recreate with some of the other chaise longues from the Kivik or Karlstad range – just that the arms are square instead of round.
Alternatively you can try gumtree, eBay or craigslist to get these secondhand.
Hope this helps!
