How to choose the right folding chair-bed in Ikea

Buying an Ikea chair-bed is the right decision. In addition to the high quality of products, potential buyers are attracted by a wide range and affordable prices.

Wear-resistant polyester cover with expressive texture.

The choice of a suitable folding chair model depends on the method of purchase. Most goods are purchased through the online store, but there are also regular sales points located in major cities of the country.

An armchair-bed, like a sofa bed, appears in living rooms in cases where there are not enough ordinary sleeping places for all the inhabitants of the home.

First of all, you need to decide on the model of the chair. The decision depends on the intended placement of this type of furniture in the room. Thus, Baccabru models have wide armrests, which is why they are not suitable for narrow spaces. Lycksele or PS, on the contrary, will “fit” well into a narrow corridor or will be successfully located on a small balcony; such a chair-bed is perfect for children. Ikea PS is more mobile due to the presence of wheels, but is slightly wider than Lycksele.

Provides the necessary uniform support for the body.

Such furniture, no matter how much it is praised, is a forced decision due to limited space.

Elastic single-layer polyurethane foam mattress of medium hardness for daily use.

Most furniture at Ikea is bought piecemeal. When purchasing a chair-bed, you will have to select the following elements:

• frame;
• mattress;
• case.

The top latex layer allows you to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Lining: Polyester wadding, Non-woven polypropylene.

The choice of mattress depends on the purpose of the chair and your own preferences. Available in soft, medium and hard options.

The mattress fabric is made of cotton and polyester.

The range of cases is quite wide. There are several types of colors and textures. They are selected individually, depending on the interior of the room in which the chair will be located.

The fabric is dense, it will not come out soon.

Description of the series “Lycksele”

The Swedish company Ikea creates very functional furniture. So, even in one “Lycksele” series, you can replace the mattress or cover to your taste, and the sofa and armchair itself can easily be turned into a full-fledged place to sleep.

The name “Lycksele” belongs to both the sofa and the armchair, which transforms into a bed. In the first version it can accommodate two people, in the second - only one.

An important point: it is possible to additionally purchase boxes for storing linen under “Lycksele”. This will perfectly save space in a small room and will not clutter it up.

Cases “Lycksele”

We can separately describe the upholstery of these sofas and armchairs. A cover is what worries many people in the first place, because the interior of the room as a whole depends on it, as well as the ease of use of furniture for relaxation and sleep.

• The Lycksele cover is removable; it fits on this sofa and chair only when folded.
• As it wears out or if you want to change the colors of the interior, the cover can be purchased separately at Ikea stores.
• Upholstery colors: plain turquoise, gray, white, as well as black and white diamonds.
• The cover is made of natural cotton with polyester padding. It can be washed or dry cleaned, which is certainly very convenient.
• The upholstery can be ironed and vacuumed.

Review of positive reviews about the Lycksele chair-bed: “Levos”, “Murbo” and “Hovet”

It is worth noting that most buyers of Lycksele sofas or armchairs are quite satisfied with their purchase. The qualities noted by new furniture owners are:

• Sofas, like the chair-bed, are very compact. They will easily fit even in the smallest room. And the “Lycksele Levos” chair, according to reviews, can even be placed on the balcony, creating another sleeping place there. The same applies to other variants of this series.
• The cost is low enough that most of our compatriots can afford it. The most economical option, according to reviews, is Lycksele Levos. The Lycksele Hovet sofa bed will cost about 18 thousand rubles.
• A drawer for storing linen directly under the bed is very helpful. Moreover, such boxes are found both in sofas of this series and in armchairs.
• The Lycksele Levos chair-bed, according to reviews, is perfect as a bed for an older child in a nursery.
• An excellent option for guests.
• Doesn't creak.

Review of negative reviews about “Lycksele” sofas: “Levos”, “Murbo” and “Hovet”

Some buyers did not like these sofas and chair-beds. Let's see how exactly people justify their dislike for “Lycksele”:

• When folded, this series is very bulky. The folded Lycksele backrest takes up a lot of space.
• This furniture looks ugly.
• Reviews of Lycksel Levos say that every time you need to disassemble a sofa bed or armchair, you first need to remove the cover from it. It is very uncomfortable. This bulky case also needs to be stored somewhere at night.
• Despite the manufacturers' claims that the case is made of natural cotton, it is highly electrified. Perhaps this is due to the synthetic padding, but in any case it is extremely unpleasant.
• The Lycksele plastic support can leave deep indentations in the laminate. That is, this sofa cannot be rearranged anywhere; you will have to first replace the flooring.
• According to reviews, the cover of Lycksele Levos often comes off. It constantly has to be corrected, which causes a lot of inconvenience.
• The linen drawer is not very well thought out, it is small and very few things fit into it.
• The Lycksele design does not include armrests. This may make it uncomfortable to sit on.

The compact chair easily turns into a comfortable single bed! A convenient solution for small spaces!

• Usage experience:
  several days
• Price:

  9999 rubles

Today I would like to tell you about the Lycksele Levos chair-bed from IKEA.

We have a very uncomfortable balcony in our apartment - it is narrow and long. Since we often have guests or various relatives stay overnight, we thought about setting up a sleeping place there. The balcony is insulated, the floors are heated, so it wouldn’t be a problem to spend the night there, even in winter. We needed a fairly narrow chair that would convert into a full-size bed, but at the same time during the day it could be pushed back so that it would not take up half of the balcony.

The first thing we did was go to the IKEA website and we immediately fell in love with the Lycksele Levos . 80 cm wide + mattress, which was exactly the width of our balcony. It cost 9999 rubles .

Product information from the official website:

• Hard polyurethane foam mattress for daily use.
• The compact chair-bed easily turns into a comfortable single bed.
• Wear-resistant polyester cover with expressive texture.
• The removable cover is easy to keep clean as it is machine washable.
• Additional replaceable covers make it easy to update the sofa and change the interior.
• The removable mattress cover is easy to keep clean as it can be dry cleaned.

There is exactly the same chair, only for 11,999 rubles and 13,999 rubles. They differ only in mattresses. We were quite satisfied with this mattress; I don’t see any point in overpaying for an extra bed.

Dimensions:

Width: 80 cm Depth: 100 cm Height: 87 cm Seat depth: 60 cm Seat height: 39 cm Bed width: 80 cm Bed length: 188 cm Mattress length: 188 cm Mattress width: 80 cm Mattress thickness: 10 cm

The set includes a bed frame, mattress and cover on top. We went to IKEA to look at the chair and ended up buying it with a gray cover. There were also covers in yellow, turquoise, white and black and white. If you wish, you can buy a cover of a different color and the chair will live a new life.

The mattress was rolled into a tube and packed in a bag. The cover and bed frame were in separate cardboard boxes. The boxes are quite light. I think that one person will be able to load them into the car.

Arriving home, I started assembling the chair myself. I did it in about 30 minutes. There is nothing complicated there. Instructions and materials are included.

You can also find the instructions on the official website and print them out if necessary.

A few photos of the assembly process itself:

This is what the assembled chair-bed looks like when unfolded:

And here it is folded:

The bed can be unfolded and folded very simply:

It seems to me that this chair-bed is ideal as an additional sleeping place, as it folds/unfolds very conveniently and does not take up much space. I think it can also be used in a nursery, for example, while the child is growing, but it’s still too early for a large bed. I recommend everyone to take a closer look!

New catalog items and popular models

Ikea offers chairs that, when laid out, form sleeping areas of different lengths. Of course, models where the bed is larger are more popular. These are products from the Ikea/PS series, which are also distinguished by their original design.

• Not only are the chairs mobile, the rollers and the folding mechanism are not only not hidden, but are also demonstrated, turning into an original design detail. This approach is most consistent with the minimalist concept, so Ikea/PS chair-beds are the clear leaders.
• The new Ikea catalog for 2016 offers improved modifications of the series chair-beds. They are called sofas, since a seat with a width of more than 140 cm is conventionally classified as a double one. However, on a wide chair without armrests and with a soft back, it is so comfortable to climb up with your feet and recline that not every fan of comfort will agree to share his sofa with someone else.
• Just like in a single chair, the accordion layout mechanism provides a flat sleeping area with only one seam. But the dimensions please him: 140*188 cm for Lycksele Levos, and 160*205 cm for Levos.
• New variants of covers also attract attention: a very original cover made of fabric with a large checkered pattern.
