Recently IKEA has discontinued its Kramfors sofa range to make way for its new Kivik sofa range.
We were clicking around the net for affordable leather sofas to recommend to our customers, when we found broken links. Panicked, we kept googling for Kramfors, Kramfors, Kramfors a good 7 minutes.
Disappointed, we immediately called IKEA and a customer service representative told us that they no longer carry Kramfors sofas. That was all there is to it. No explanations. No letter as to why. No farewell we-loved-you-too party. Nada.
A 30 minute drive to IKEA later, our fears were being confirmed. Ikea’s Kramfors range has been replaced by a younger woman! named Kivik! Although she was very pretty (and a bit more conservative than Kramfors was), the nerve of not letting us know sooner.
As Ikea lovers streamed in and out of the store in helium happiness- Ikea slipcovers and sofas were on sale (to soften the blow)- we just sat on the remaining Kramfors for the last time, paying our respects.
But there is hope yet. Comfort Works has got your Kramfors‘ back, literally. We provide custom slipcovers for the Kramfors in its 2 seat, 3 seat and footstool range. The icing on the cake? You can have the slipcovers made in leather too! So if you want to level up or add a couple more years to your Kramfors, visit our website or contact us.
You can also follow us on Twitter or Facebook for more updates.

HI, I have a sofa and chaise combination sofa and the leather has worn through on the sofa side cushion. Do you supply a replacement?
Thanks

Do your Kramfors Fabric Slipcovers fit over both Fabric sofas and Leather sofas? Or just one of the these lines? Which Kramfors line do they fit better?
Thank you.
by Rachel Yeng
Hi Natasha,
They can be made to fit either one, you just have to let us know which version it is that you have.
Worth mentioning though, the fabric version of kramfors comes with hard velcro strips at the bottom (the leather version doesn’t) – that basically helps a bit with with the tucking and fitting.
Hope that helps, drop us an email at info@comfortworks.com.au if you’d like to know more.

this is a bit offtopic but do you know if one can dissemble a kramfors couch? It just won’t fit thru the staircase of our new appartment.

The only way i know is to remove the metal legs from the sofa, but i think you should know about that already.

Hi there, just found your porst about the Kramfors Ikea covers. I have one just like the Yellow one you have on the picture, and am desperate for a new cover. Do you have them? How much and what colors please?
Desperate!!!thanks
by Henry
We don’t do the yellow one as per Ikea unfortunately, the covers we do are only made in our own fabric designs. Have u tried looking at eBay or Gumtree or Craigslist?

I have the same sofa. Is it removable? I mean the main body? Can you send me the instructions?
by Naomi
Heya Mina,
You can definitely remove the body if it’s attached to another components (like a chaise section) as the Kramfors is a modular unit. It can be disassembled and reassembled according to the configuration you want to make!
To disassemble your Kramfors sofa, you’ll need to refer to the IKEA Kramfors assembly manual. Here they are;
IKEA Kramfors 3 seater and Chaise
IKEA Kramfors 2 seater
Kramfors Corner Unit
Kramfors footstool
For most of this, you’ll usually only need an Allen key (AKA Allen wrench/hex key).
Hope this helps! Good luck 😉

Hi. We bought Kramfors black leather sofa in 2008 from IKEA in Westchester Ohio, USA. At the time we didn’t get corner piece due to finance situation but we got only 2 sides and used them putting side by side. After 3 months time we wanted to get the corner but it was discontinued. How can we get? If could, is gonna be made in Europe and send to USA or where. Do you have one in the USA by any chance. Help us. Wanted to use this web site but there wasn’t similar black leather. Plus will the size be the same. My worry is the size. What if it will be wrong size. Is there standard size only.
Best wishes,
NAR

Nar, we aren’t the right person to ask for the actual couch itself; we only custom make the slipcover for it 🙂
