Our Review.
There aren’t many negatives that can be said with the classic Ektorp as it is a perfect entry level sofa for most families with children. Durable, long-lasting, inexpensive, plus removable and washable slipcovers definitely makes this the most practical model of IKEA.
Although some Ektorp configurations has been discontinued in IKEA stores, Comfort Works is still producing replacement slipcovers for the IKEA Ektorp. Our Ektorp slipcovers also come complete with pleated skirts and piping, just like the original.

We just purchased the Ektorp 1/2. The middle leg is about 3/4 of an inch from the floor. Any suggestion? Unscrewing it some does not make it long enough to reach the floor.
Replacement bolts for EKTORP- anyone know of any dimensions/ sources!? )(lost all my bolts in a recent house move)
I amconsidering purchasing the Ektorp chaise sofa and chair but they seemshort to me. Do you how many inches high the legs are? Do you think replacing the legs with higher ones would look right?
They are now making a new version that is the Ektorp 3.5 with larger dimensions but they made no new accompanying pieces and I’m worried the origical chair size will look silly next the larger dimentioned sofa. Help? TY!
Hi Aimee
In our experience the newer (2017 onwards) batch of Ektorp 3-seater sofa’s legs are about 6″ however the leg heights may vary depending on the model, so we aren’t sure about the leg heights for the armchair and chaise. It’s probably best to check with your local Ikea store directly to see how tall each item’s legs are :)
Looking for replacement cushions for the Ektorp three seat sofa bed…any ideas where to get them?
Hi Mary,
We wrote a blog post about that too, and you can read it here: https://www.comfort-works.com/news/where-to-get-replacement-cushion-foam-inserts/
Hope this helps :)
I have 4 replacement seat cushions for the Ektorp love seat. That would be the poly quilted envelopes and the foam inserts. Actually they are brand new and never used. I just bought 2 love seats, and am changing the cushions to down. I have no idea how to ship them, but I am in Los Angeles CA.
I would love to have at least 2 cushions. Would take all 4 if you need to seed to sell them. I have a 3 sweat sofa, currently on loan to my sister in law for her Air B&B. Washed the insert envelopes and 2 literally fell apart. Wrapped the foam w/ extra batting—works, but lumpy in appearance.
Then I got sofa w chaise for our great room and now I really want to separate the ottoman. So, yes, if available, I’m interested. How much are you charging for all or at least 2? Shipping would be to zip: 37885, prob Fedex or USPS? Vonore, Tennesse. Thanks

I have a problem I don’t see addressed anywhere. I would like to take off the seat cushion cover an Ektorp chair but the zipper tab is recessed in a sleeve. Have tried to grab the pull with tweezers and small pliers with no luck. Does anyone have a solution. Thanks
