Best IKEA sectionals
Great for families and those who love entertaining
Is a standard 3-seater not quite enough to accommodate your family, but you don’t want to have to purchase multiple sofas? Sectional sofas to the rescue. Sectionals are made up of two or more different modular parts, which can be arranged to best suit your home and family. Add a chaise module or extra storage, turn your sofa into an L-shaped or U-shaped style – the options are nearly limitless.

Sectional sofas are great for bigger families or those who love entertaining large groups of people. Truly the most sociable kind of sofa, sectionals encourage group chats and movie nights.

Best IKEA sofa beds
Bed or sofa, you decide.
Nobody works harder than a sofa bed, or sleeper sofa. Sofas during the day, they transform into fully functional beds for houseguests. There is no denying the practicality of a sofa bed, and this is a category IKEA does very well in. But not all sofa beds are created equal – and some don’t even look like sofas. We’ve narrowed down the list to sofa beds that are comfortable to sleep on and still look great when they’re in sofa mode.
Read all about our top 6 IKEA sofa beds.
Best IKEA chaise lounges
One for the nappers
Naps are an integral part of life. A lot of us tend to fall asleep on the couch more than falling asleep in our beds – and that’s what chaise lounges are for. A chaise lounge (originally chaise longue) means “long chair”, which I think is a perfect term for a napping couch. If you often sleep on your sofa, all you need is a chaise lounge so that you can fall into a sweet dream always, even if it isn’t on the bed.
What’s good for you? Check out our list of the best IKEA chaise lounges.
Best IKEA 3-seater sofas
Three’s NOT a crowd
“The more the merrier” was said for a reason. When there’s no longer just two people in the house, it probably means it’s time to get a 3-seater sofa. What’s the width of a 3-seater couch compared to your current loveseat? Would it fit the space in your house? Get your questions answered by reading this list of the best IKEA 3-seater sofas.

Discontinued IKEA sofas
Can I still get their slipcovers?
Throughout the years, IKEA has released so many sofa series, and also discontinued a lot of them. It’s unfortunate that consumers cannot find the exact model to replace their current one especially if they really liked it. However, if you do still own one of their discontinued models and are in need of sofa replacement covers, come take a look at this post – “Replacement IKEA Sofa Covers For Discontinued IKEA Couch Models”. With customised slipcovers that come in so many designs and colours, you’ll love your sofa even more after an awesome transformation!
