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.

Do you make Rouge Ash Velvet covers for the Ektorp sofa and ottomans? If so what would be the price?
by Chuck
Sure we do Mari!
Every cover that you need for the Ektorp can be found here: http://comfort-works.com/en/ektorp-63
Prices will vary depending on fabric options, so probably best to get some fabric samples here first before pulling the trigger: http://comfort-works.com/en/home/order-fabric-swatch-samples-24
Hope this helps! 🙂

I have an ektorp sofa with chaise and am looking for someone who would like the chaise cushion and base in exchange for their ektorp sofa cushion.

Where can I get replacement cushion inserts for the back cushions of my ektorp couch?
by Chris
We don’t sell the inserts unfortunately, but a local upholsterer or cushion shop should be okay to make foam inserts to your specification.

Hi there! Im looking for the manual for this sofa, looks like the one on the IKEA website isnt very helpful, as I need to find out how I can take it apart… Can anybody advise?

I’m looking for just a replacement seat cushion for the Ektorp sofa. I bought the one with the chaise lounge on it but would like to have the option of taking the foot piece off to turn it into a regular sofa without the chaise during the holidays. IKEA store says they don’t sell them but I don’t understand why.
by Chuck
Hey Meda,
From a business point of view, we’d imagine that IKEA is able to keep cost low because they cater for the masses – they cater everything in large sets with minimal or no room for flexibility. This means you won’t be able to choose a pink cover for your sofa, request for taller legs or get replacement cushions from IKEA.
Unfortunately your best bet would be to go to the aftermarket for your slipcover, sofa legs and cushion needs. You can quite easily get it at a local upholsterer, Walmart, Costco or Home Depot also – which is probably why IKEA doesn’t feel the need to sell replacement seat cushions for the Ektorp.
Personally – it sounds like a good idea that they do though!

Hi, I am trying to do exactly the same thing!! If I find a source for cushions, will let you know.
