Status Check.
Status: Sofa and Slipcover are available from IKEA, but for some reason the slipcovers are always out of stock.
Slipcover: IKEA Kivik slipcovers available from Comfort Works
Measurements: IKEA Kivik sofa dimensions and measurements.
Cool Factor: Large, spacious, contemporary and modern looking. It has large armrests that serve as additional seating and the armrests can be detached when joining the Kivik with any other Kiviks to create a Kivik sectional.
Ugh Factor: Unnaturally low armrests which just doesn’t feel quite right. It’s also a little pricier than expected.

Our Review.
We were so excited to try the KIVIK for ourselves that we took the day to visit the IKEA store just see how the KIVIK felt in person. To read our full reviews and first impressions on the sofa, click here.
In short, the Kivik is actually quite a looker and somewhat comfortable for an IKEA sofa – but it’s just a little bit pricey.
Although this model is still available at IKEA stores, Comfort Works offers slipcovers in alternative fabric and leather options for this model. Check out our loose fit long skirt Kivik slipcovers as well for the 2 seater & 3 seater models.

Hi There!
I have a Kivik sofa bed that I would like to add a chaise to… It that possible? I also have noticed that the cover is all connected. Would I need to buy a new cover in order to cover the end/ new formation of the sofa.
Thanks!

Hey Lucy!
Personally we haven’t tried this, but it might not work unless you remove one of the track (attached to the bottom of the armrests) and install it onto the chaise instead.
Here’s the instruction manual to give you a better idea of what I mean: https://www.comfort-works.com/news/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Kivik-Sofa-Bed.pdf
Because the Kivik covers are individually covered (armrest has a cover, body frame has a cover, etc), you wouldn’t need to buy any new covers for the formation of the sofa 🙂
Hope this helps!

I have an older kivik loveseat in beige Gran leather which i purchased some time ago. The new kivik loveseat is longer, did the arm dimension change?
by Chuck
Hey Jo,
Not sure what your reference is but the Kivik loveseat dimensions would have been the same throughout the years — perhaps you could shoot us a photo to info@comfortworks.com.au and we’ll help you determine exactly which Kivik model/size you have.
Hope to hear from you soon!

I think Ikea has definitely changed the dimensions of the kivik series. I have a kivik sofa that was purchased five years ago and went to ikea this past weekend to buy a new sofa cover. My husband started to change out the cover this morning and it’s longer than the actual couch. The arms are about 1 1/2” longer and the couch base is about 6” longer.
Do you make covers for older kivik versions?
by Chuck
Hey Alyssa!
It’s possible but unlikely that IKEA changed the dimensions of the Kivik sofa; The armrests are about 23cm wide and the middle frame is 180cm wide, so if your measurements match up with this then our covers would work for it 🙂
Otherwise, we can still custom make according to your dimensions – just shoot us a photo of your sofa to info@comfortworks.com.au and we’ll proceed from there.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
My Kivik foam cushions have started to smell of mold, where can I buy new cushions?
by Felicia
Hi Charles,
We wrote an entire blogpost about that: https://www.comfort-works.com/news/where-to-get-replacement-cushion-foam-inserts/
Hope this helps!

Hi, do you have any instructions or advice for DISASSEMBLING this sofa, specifically how to take the armrests off of the main frame? We have this sofa but are moving into a new apartment, and I don’t think the fully assembled sofa will fit in the elevator or stairwell of our current building.
Thanks!
Katie

Hi Katie, we don’t have a disassembly guide but maybe this video would help you disassemble your Kivik: https://vimeo.com/35985551
Just note where the armrest joints are and you would be able to remove them from the sofa frame. This should allow you to move your Kivik sofa with more ease.
Hope this helps. ?

We have the Kivik Sectional, 5 Seat-Corner. Unfortunately, in our new space the longer side is too long. We are looking at the least expensive way to change it up to fit. Is it possible to buy the kivik loveseat and use it to replace the longer edge of the sectional (by taking an arm off the loveseat and attaching the loveseat to sectional)? Are the arms removable like that? Would we then be able to make a new sofa with the old long edge of sectional and the arm we removed from the loveseat? Thanks for any guidance!!!
by Hema
Hi Stacey, your corner sectional would fit with both the loveseat and the sofa so your idea would work pretty well. You can also attach the arms onto your old 3-seater section to turn it into a stand-alone sofa because the Kivik’s arms’sizes are uniform between the 3-seater and 2-seaters. ?
