Our Review.
With it’s Ektorp-ish design, the Backabro will sit classy in your living room until the time comes for it to transform. While there’s not much covering on arm rests and it’s a bit small to sit on if you’re a taller person the cushions more than make up for this. The back cushions are spongy with ample support and the bottom cushions are firm and bouncy. It is a quietly classic sofa, which is easily turned into an extra sleeper for the odd overnight guest.
Although this model has been discontinued in most IKEA stores, Comfort Works is still producing replacement slipcovers for the IKEA Backabro Sofa Bed.
Hi! Is it aloud to wash in the wash machine cover of the sofa seat? thank you
Hi Natasa,
Most IKEA fabrics are originally machine-washable under cool/cold water. However; it is recommended to refer to the fabric care guides (you may usually find this on a tag, attached to the fabric). We definitely recommend keeping away from excessive heat and also avoid using bleach at all cost.
When in doubt, you may always call up IKEA and ask them for fabric care guidance, just in case :)
Hope this helps!
Hi, sleeping on the bed is slightly uncomfortable. Is there a thin mattress available to add to the top of it?
