Mid-century sofa legs for your IKEA sofa

Exciting news guys! Following the IKEA Sofa Legs review last week, we’re proud to announce the launch of our very own mid-century sofa legs for your IKEA sofas, armchairs and cabinets.

Check out these new bad boys in action here:

Soderhamn Sofa in Bailey Mid-Century Legs – Comfort Works

Karlstad in Urbanskin Leather Covers and Mid-century Legs Jager

Introducing 3 Furniture Leg Designs

Always wanted to disguise your IKEA Sofa or hide its default legs? Well there’s no need for that now; Comfort Works will be introducing 3 sofa leg designs in 2 colours and 2 heights – that’s 12 combinations for you. All of it would have the option of a Beech or Cherry colour, as well as a tall or regular option (ranges from 135mm/5.3inches to 170mm/6.9inches). So it really comes down to personal preference into building the best aesthetics for your living space. Here’s a direct comparison between the two:

Beech vs Cherry Wood

Funny story, whilst brainstorming names for these furniture legs we were actually at a bar so you might find these names pretty interesting. Let’s see which design suits your sofa or furniture the most first shall we?

Jager

If you know German, you’d know straightaway how befitting these legs are named. A strong, solid pyramidal shape that looks like it’ll never break a sweat – “Jager” means hunter so if you’re looking for a pair of legs that will allow your furniture to stand out and destroy the competition, Jager is the way to go.

Walker

Next comes Walker – I don’t know why but I keep imagining the Walker from Star Wars, which are basically these mechanical 4 legged beasts with skinny stilted legs. And they shoot lasers of course. In all seriousness, the Walker gives a classier and more refined look as compared to the Jager, basically it’s a slimmed down version with a more subdued effect.

Bailey

Lastly (for now), probably the most sought after type of “mid-century legs” are the full round tapered legs we call “Bailey”. Just like the drink, it’s just super smooth and incredibly pleasing to the senses. It’s probably not the most manly drink but it does taste freakin’ good. Don’t judge me, here’s a few more shots of the Bailey in action.

How do the legs work?

So here comes the more technical bits. After doing a bit of research we realised that most of IKEA’s legs come with something called an “M8 bolt”. To explain this simply, there are a specific set of IKEA models which our legs would work for, and they are:

Karlstad, Karlsfors, Klippan, Ektorp, Soderhamn, Solsta, Stocksund, Strandmon, Sandby, Klobo, Härnösand, Säter, Ystad, Landskrona, Dagarn, Oleby, Tidafors.

When in doubt, feel free to contact us at info@comfortworks.com.au to check 🙂

After you’ve made your purchase with us, you’ll get these nicely packaged and each of them would have a screwcap on. Fitting is as easy as:

  • Taking the cap off
  • Screwing the legs on

Where do I get my furniture legs?

So these legs will be going at US$11-14 each, basically all of the products mentioned above in their various colour and heights can be purchased here: https://comfort-works.com/collections/replacement-sofa-legs

So once again, we hope that we’ve helped make many of your decisions to get slipcovers from us a lot easier – given the fact that we now conveniently have pretty awesome sofa legs to match. They aren’t the fanciest, but they’re as practical and down-to-earth as we always like to be.

Live Beautiful. Live Simple.

    Have you made any of the sofas taller with taller legs? Does it compromise the stability of the sofa?

      Hi Beth,

      The original Soderhamn legs (from IKEA) are 15cm, while the Bailey wooden legs pictured are actually 17cm in height. It doesn’t compromise the stability at all because it’s not that much taller and the Soderhamn’s frame is not very heavy. If your sofa is larger though, like the Ektorp, we wouldn’t recommend increasing the height further 🙂

      Hope this helps!

    Hi, I have a Klippan sofa, but one of the legs has come off because the hole and threads it screws into is broken. Do you sell the plates that the legs go into? Thanks!

    I’m still having trouble figuring out how to hack this so that there is only 1 middle leg in the front – can you explain Henry Chanda’s post in more detail?

    Where did you obtain an extra bracket from? What do you mean that you should use a washer and nut on it?

    I want to hack this couh to get this look so that’s why I am interested in the details.

    Thanks,
    Sheena

      Hi Sheena,

      You can get a bracket at most hardware stores, so what we did was to install the brackets at the front (between where you’re supposed to attach the legs on each frame) then screwed the leg to the bracket. A washer and nut is recommended. At the back of the sofa, we attached the legs directly to the frame for stability of course 🙂
