Replacement covers for discontinued IKEA sofas

Every year, IKEA updates its lineup, meaning your favourite sofa eventually leaves the catalogue. Your seating base remains supportive and sturdy, yet the upholstery looks tired—and IKEA has stopped offering spare covers.

That doesn’t mean you must buy a brand new settee. We craft custom-made covers tailored for older IKEA models long discontinued. This guide covers:

• which discontinued IKEA suites we supply covers for,
• how to track down your exact model and edition,
• what you need to measure before placing an order,
• how to pick a material matching your current lifestyle.

Older IKEA settees we supply replacement covers for

Many of these lines are no longer stocked by IKEA, either globally or across specific regions. Checking their lineup in September 2026 revealed that 18 out of 20 are unavailable in the UK (such as PÄRUP and GRÖNLID, while VRETSTORP and EKTORP remain on sale). No matter which you own, we produce fitted covers across more than 120 distinct fabrics.

When a line is labeled as discontinued regionally, it simply means it’s still sold elsewhere by IKEA. Regardless of your purchasing location, the upholstery layout matches. Feel free to explore our full range of IKEA sofa covers.

How to identify your IKEA settee

Older model names slip easily from memory, particularly if you acquired your settee second-hand or inherited it. Check these spots:

1. The frame label. Peek beneath your settee or lift up the cushions. IKEA furniture typically features a tag displaying both the article code and model title.

2. Your purchase records. Online checkouts or scanning your IKEA Family card means details remain saved on your digital account or receipt.
3. The silhouette. Match armrests, back design, leg style, and cushion counts against pictures on our collection pages. Era-specific designs share similarities, so examine every tiny feature rather than just the general shape.

Verify your specific edition

Over time, IKEA frequently tweaked dimensions, cushions, or arm profiles, alongside offering varying sizes internationally. Consequently, certain lines have multiple template options; KARLSTAD armchairs, as an example, require distinguishing between older and newer editions.

Is it a standard settee or a sofa-bed? Ranges like KARLSTAD, EKTORP, GRÖNLID, FÄRLÖV, KARLANDA, EKESKOG, and TOMELILLA were released in both standard and pull-out sofa-bed variants. Though visually similar, their internal frames and proportions differ entirely, meaning standard covers won’t fit pull-outs and vice versa. If your piece extends into a bed, select the sofa-bed option from the table and double-check dimensions on the product page. For instance, EKTORP included both a two-seat sofa-bed and the 3-seat EKTORP PIXBO, each needing distinct custom covers.

Measure up before placing your order

Since every cover is engineered for an exact template, taking measurements beforehand prevents unnecessary returns:

• Measure your settee’s overall depth, height, and width, alongside one armrest width.
• Check these figures against the product page dimensions table. Minor variances of 1–2 cm are completely normal for textile upholstery.
• Contact our team with your measurements prior to ordering if the variance exceeds this range.

Our furniture measuring guide illustrates step by step how to take every dimension accurately.

Why investing in fresh upholstery makes sense

• Retain your favorite qualities. Internal frames and padding outlive original fabrics by years, as upholstery tends to degrade first.
• Reduce environmental waste. Sofas rank among bulky household items frequently sent to the tip; recovering grants a sturdy frame an extended lifespan.
• Refresh your lounge decor. Introduce alternative textures or shades to transform your room’s aesthetic without buying new furnishings.
• Match your modern lifestyle. Households with kids or pets benefit from picking durable, simple-to-maintain fabrics.

Selecting your ideal fabric

Your previous upholstery was likely selected for an entirely different stage of life. Consider these points beforehand:

• Pets and children: choose densely woven, low-maintenance materials.
• Pure relaxation seating: luxurious, softer decorative textiles excel here.
• Colour choices: pale shades brighten spaces while dark tones create cosy warmth. Digital screens alter tones slightly, so order free fabric samples to evaluate shades against your walls and flooring in natural daylight.
