As you know, we have been recovering the IKEA leather Kramfors with fabric covers. This helps those wanting to update their living spaces with our fabulous machine washable slipcovers.
But then we thought.. what about those who just wanted their leather Kramfors to stay exactly the way they bought it? We did our research via our newsletters, and boy, did the emails pour in. There were hundreds of request to fix that tear on the chocolate brown leather Kramfors seat! It is such a beautiful piece and I for one understood why Kramfors owners worldwide would want their leather sofas to be more “permanent”.
So after a long and hard search to find the perfect match for the Frasig Kramfors leather series, we had come up with Urbanskin range.
IKEA Leather Replacement – Urbanskin Kramfors unveiled
More specifically named, our Urbanskin Kramfors brown looks and feel the same as the leather used for the Kramfors Frasig series, at the very least we promise it is 90-95% identical to the color of the original glossy leather Kramfors 🙂
Special thanks to Lucy for sharing your home and thoughts and working with us to get the perfect fit!
Oh, for those in Europe, it’s good to note that there are 2 different versions of the Kramfors leather series; the Frasig and Marig. The Frasigs are those from the early years of production whereby the leather used are glossy embossed.
The Marigs on the other hand are the newer batch where Matte leathers are being used (below). If you’re looking to replace the seat cushion covers only, our Modena Black might be a good match but it’s always recommended to
This should work for many of the IKEA leather sofa variants, namely the IKEA Leather Karlstad, Kivik, Klippan, Stockholm, Vimle, Vallentuna, Landskrona, Timsfors.
IKEA Leather sofa owners out there will be happy to know that Comfort Works is now producing covers for the 3 seaters and the 2 seater sofas, the 2 seater with right or let armrest, as well as the left and right chaise lounge, the footstool and the corner piece. That’s right folks. Our Kramfors cover series is completed.
Some of the other models mentioned above are also slipcoverable, but the skirted, fabric slipcover is the recommended option as:
1) Leather IKEA sofas don’t come with slipcovers to begin with, so its construction is different from typical fabric versions and will not allow for slipcovers (unless you hack it)
2) It’s rare that we put leather slipcovers on a leather slipcover simply because it is difficult to put over; However once you manage to get the covers on you almost never have to take it off
These IKEA sofas include Klippan, Karlstad, Kivik, Stockholm, Vimle and Landskrona.

I want to replace 3 fabric sofa cushions completely, with 3 down & poly leather cushions, preferably in a good anilinen leather. The sofa is pottery barn seagrass sectional, with cushions 25 x 27″ and could be about 4.5 -5″ thick.
They don’t have to match the sofa, just be a nice brown color.
Would you take this on? I am in new york city where nobody makes anything anymore! Thanks.

Hello,
I’ve been searching everywhere for replacement cushion covers for Ikea Kramfors leather sofa. I see that you are making the leather cusion covers in chocolate brown, but I need the light beige color. Both of my cushons are ripped in several places, both on seams and other areas. I already fixed them several times myself, but now it’s beyond fixing, the leather is just worn out and needs to be replaced, I’m covering it with a beige blanket for now. Please let me know if you make these in the color I need and how much would that cost for both cushion covers. Thank you-

Hi, Is it possible to get a replacement leather slip on cover for a Kramfors 2 seater. I dont know the exact model. My sofa has 3 pieces:
1). 3 Seater
2). 2 Seater
3). Arm Rest Chaise (if thats what they are called)
Now the 2 Seater leather has torn 🙁 We love the sofas and wish to get the same slip on covers. IT is brown lerather and has a gloss finish.
Hope to hear from you.
Thx
Sami.

Sami,
It’s very possible, have a look at our IKEA Kramfors Sofa Slipcovers page page; we have both options of either ordering the whole set or just the seat cushion slipcovers also. Note that we don’t do the “baseball stitching” on the covers because they’re prone to tearing (just like the original).
Another thing to note also is that when adding the product(s) to cart, make sure you tick the ‘my sofa is the frasig leather‘ version, the sizing is a few cms different from the original version.
Hope that helps, message us anytime at info@comfortworks.com.au if you need any more help,
Cheers,
Henry
