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 Ikea’s Kramfors range has been replaced by a younger woman!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.

May 23, 2013this 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.

May 23, 2013The only way i know is to remove the metal legs from the sofa, but i think you should know about that already.

Jul 27, 2011Do 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.

Jul 28, 2011Hi 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.
