IKEA chair-bed – interior photos and real reviews

There is not enough space in a small apartment or house, but everyone wants to sleep in comfort. It’s easy to solve the dilemma by visiting the Ikea store, where chair-beds are sold. Such furniture is compact in size, mobile, and easy to unfold. It can be moved from one place to another. When unfolded, the chair-bed makes only one sleeping place, but this does not prevent you from resting comfortably at night. The cost of the product is low and is equal to the price of a single bed, and sometimes higher. But buyers get many benefits. For example, space is saved. During the day, the chair can be folded to make room for children's games. It is not difficult to choose a mattress for such a sleeping place, as is a removable cover that is easily washed. Often chair-beds are installed in the children's room so that the baby has his own sleeping place.

Interior ideas

The entire model variety of folding chairs is divided into series. The most popular series are:

• Lycksele – represented by models in a futuristic style. The width of the chairs in this series is 80 cm. When folded, they have a height of 87 cm and a seat depth of 60 cm. When unfolded, it is a bed with a mattress 10 cm high and 188 cm long. The chairs fold and unfold in a matter of seconds - just pull them out seat on yourself. All models in this series offer the possibility of additional equipment with a drawer for clothes or bedding;
• PS – original models of increased mobility, equipped with safe casters for movement. Thanks to this device, the chair can be easily rearranged during cleaning or moved from room to room. In addition to their direct function, the rollers also carry a decorative load, being an original design feature. The dimensions of this series are slightly larger than those of Lycksele. Thus, the width of the structure and the depth of the seat are 80 cm. The folded height is 88 cm, and the length of the unfolded bed is 205 cm.

In both series, consumers are offered three types of mattresses of varying hardness:

• Levos is a single-layer polyurethane foam product. Refers to medium-hard mattresses. Provides good support for the body while resting.
• Murbo is a hard two-layer mattress. The top layer is made of elastic polyurethane foam, which accurately follows all the contours of the body, correctly distributing the load and allowing you to take the most comfortable position during a night's rest. The bottom layer, in turn, is made of denser polyurethane foam, the purpose of which is to optimally support the upper part of the mattress and the person lying on it, and extend the service life of the product.
• Havet is a two-layer version of medium hardness. The top layer is made of latex and helps maintain a comfortable temperature. Perforating the material allows it to “breathe” - air passes freely through the holes, which contribute to the evaporation of excess moisture. At the same time, latex is able to take the shape of the body, making sleep more comfortable.

The padding polyester laid on top of latex gives the product additional softness. The bottom layer of the mattress is made of highly elastic polyurethane, which helps distribute the load of the sleeper.

For maximum comfort, each chair-bed includes a pillow made of the same material as the mattress. During the day it can be placed under the lower back while sitting in a chair, and at night it can be used for its intended purpose.

All Ikea chair-bed models are designed to fit seamlessly into the interior of almost any home. Due to the absence of armrests, they take up very little space and are perfect for even the smallest rooms or narrow verandas and balconies. Most often, a chair-bed is placed in the bedroom, but it can also be placed in the living room, children's room and in any other convenient place in an apartment or house.

The appearance of the models is determined by the covers, which can be easily matched to the color of the rest of the furniture, which further simplifies the task of creating a single composition in the interior. At the same time, designers allow the emphasis on the chair-bed, so in its color you can use shades that contrast with the general color background of the room. The main thing here is to choose the right place where the folding chair will look most advantageous. In this way, you can ensure that the folding product becomes not only a functional piece of furniture, but also a real interior decoration.

Customer Reviews

On numerous Internet forums and review sites, buyers share their ratings after several weeks or even months of use.

Below are reviews of the most popular Lycksele folding chair.

In general, customers respond positively to the Lycksele Murbo and Lycksele Hovet chairs. Among the shortcomings, the width of the sleeping place is most often noted: 70-80 cm is at least within the standards, but for an adult such a width may not be enough for a comfortable sleep. It is necessary to evaluate this moment individually; it is best to do this while visiting the store. Thanks to the furniture exhibition at Ikea, you can not only sit on sofas and armchairs, but, if necessary, also lie down.

We bring to your attention reviews of “Lycksele Levos”, “Murbo”, “Hovet”, as well as a full description of this comfortable furniture for relaxing and sleeping.

Spectacular examples in the interior of the house

Let's look at the most interesting options:

Wicker models of white or cream color, in addition to being used at home or in the country, are very popular among photographers who arrange a creative space for shooting with their own hands. Light wicker furniture creates an indescribable atmosphere in any shooting art space where lyrical and romantic photo sessions for girls are held. In the photo, such chairs are no different from furniture made from natural materials, which gives the space additional lightness and prestige.

• The Rodviken armchairs, also a wicker version of an unusual shape, will fit well into the terrace space of a country house or relaxation room in any sanatorium. They can be placed in the living room along with any coffee table from IKEA, and to add coziness, add several small pillows.
• In art and antique cafes you can often find amazing interior finds using products from IKEA in the form of poufs, bags, drops and other varieties with fillings that allow visitors to relax with a cup of coffee and pleasant music. Such chairs are often used to decorate their offices by psychologists and psychotherapists, as well as heads of training companies and numerous yoga centers. In the latter, colorful poufs with a clear hint of an oriental ethnic component are especially popular.

• Children's egg-shaped swivel chairs can increasingly be found in private kindergartens and playrooms in shopping centers, where the dominant colors are orange, red and all shades of blue and light blue. In any play space for children, multi-colored plastic tables and chairs from IKEA have already become an integral part of the interior.
• The bright and soft Ektorp Ennilund armchair with velvet pink upholstery becomes an ideal find for decorating the rooms of teenage girls. Pink upholstery contrasts especially well with crimson or purple cabinets and shelves. The upholstery of the model itself is easy to clean and rarely gathers dust, which gives it an additional advantage.

• A simple Poeng rocking chair can be placed on a balcony or loggia in good weather. Thanks to its compactness, it will not take up much space, and in the company of garden flowers, an ordinary loggia can easily turn into a small greenhouse for relaxation. Textile covers, as usual, are easy to remove, clean and machine washable, and a special wood-processing impregnation will protect the product from high humidity in cloudy weather.
• A large selection of Lycksele folding chairs allows you to organize a relaxation space in any interior colors - from white to multi-colored thanks to covers of different colors and quality. If there is only one room in a house or apartment, such a universal sleeping place when folded can pass for a small sofa for relaxing, and since such a chair can be extended easily and simply, maintaining comfort within a limited space will not be difficult.

Reasons for popularity

The Monstad sofa belongs to the furniture products of the mid-price category and is the absolute leader in its segment, as it embodies many positive characteristics. This model has a number of advantages:

1. Compactness. When folded, the Ikea Monstad corner sofa is small in size, the product does not take up much space, while allowing you to properly organize the space.
2. Low cost. With high quality materials, the model is available to every consumer.
3. Variety of designs. There are several options available in different colors.
4. Environmentally friendly materials. When creating the product, only high-quality raw materials are used.
5. Simplicity of the mechanism. The model is easy to assemble and disassemble, as well as change the combination by rearranging the additional side section.
6. Functionality. This model has a spacious drawer for storing linen located in the ottoman. When folded it is a comfortable place to rest, and when unfolded it is a spacious bed.
7. Universal design. Thanks to its simple shapes and minimal decor, the sofa is suitable for almost any interior.
8. Convenience. An important advantage of the Monstad model is the presence of a comfortable backrest located around the entire perimeter, which promotes comfortable rest without stress on the spine.

Thanks to the retractable hidden block, the sofa can easily be transformed into a spacious sleeping area. Also a significant advantage is the ability to complete the product with a perfectly suitable lightweight Angryd mattress if you plan to use the sofa as a bed. It will provide comfort and also protect the furniture surface from damage during regular use. The mattress is located around the entire perimeter of the soft structure.

It is important to note one more feature: the sofa is quite easy to clean, since all the constituent elements of the model can be easily treated with various chemicals or detergents. Despite the large number of advantages, the Monstad sofa also has disadvantages, these include: the fragility of the internal upholstery, which can be damaged when unfolding furniture every day, as well as a high risk of breakage of the retractable mechanism

Despite the large number of advantages, the Monstad sofa also has disadvantages, these include: the fragility of the interior upholstery, which can be damaged when unfolding furniture every day, as well as a high risk of breakage of the retractable mechanism.

Unlike sofa covers, cushion covers are secured with a zipper, so they can be easily removed, cleaned or replaced with new ones if damaged or heavily soiled. If desired, you can diversify the furniture design by sewing these parts from a material of a different texture or shade. Thanks to its clear geometric shape, you can do this yourself without going to a studio.

Materials

Modern folding chairs are made mainly from:

Wood. A folding wooden chair is considered the most elegant and versatile option. It helps to create a truly homely, cozy atmosphere, while the product harmoniously combines with any interior design and can serve the owners for a long time. In addition, it can withstand significant weight. Products can be completely wooden or supplemented with soft pads for the comfort of those sitting. To extend their service life, wooden models can be coated with special compounds or varnishes.

Design and color options

The Swedish manufacturer of folding chair beds has taken care of the versatility of furniture design. The wide range includes models for classic styles, representing luxury and prosperity:

• classicism;
• English;
• German;

The model range also provides a large number of armchairs for modern interior styles, the main features of which are minimalism and functionality, such as:

• high tech;

• vintage;
• contemporary;
• avant-garde;
• military;
• eco.

For relaxation in the living room

I often noticed that when furnishing a living room, they make do with only one sofa. Often, chairs have to be abandoned due to lack of space. But IKEA has many compact options, for example, Vedbu, Zacarias, Nolmira.

“Zakarias”, RUB 13,499 “Landskrona” with pouf, RUB 24,999 “Grunnarp” sofa with armchair “Vedbu” “Vedbu”, RUB 16,999 Photo: @maori_nails “Ekeryo”, RUR 12,999 Photo: @_maricherkasova_White leather “Tulsta”, RUB 16,999.

To decorate your living room, you can choose not just one large sofa, but a small sofa combined with a beautiful armchair. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to select them in the same color scheme; the main thing is that all the furniture fits into the overall design concept.

“Poeng”, RUR 6,999

The Lidgult series of modular furniture allows you to create compositions in the same style and in the same color scheme.

If you are not sure of your own taste and do not want to combine different armchairs and a sofa, choose furniture from one series: for example, Landskrona or Hessberg.

Case options

No matter how carefully the furniture is handled, no matter how carefully it is treated, over time the upholstery becomes dirty and scuffs appear on it. And if there are small children or four-legged pets in the house, then the pollution process can accelerate significantly

And the only chance to save the furniture will be to completely reupholster it.

To solve this problem, Ikea has proposed a simple and affordable way to protect furniture upholstery from dirt and damage - removable covers. These covers are made from wear-resistant materials that are designed to withstand numerous washes. They do not require any additional assembly - they are simply pulled onto the chair-bed and secured with hooks, Velcro or special zippers. At the same time, the color range of removable covers can satisfy even the most demanding customer. The covers differ both in color and texture, which allows not only to protect the chair from dirt and damage, but also to literally transform the furniture.

When making covers, the characteristics of the furniture are taken into account, in particular, its ability to transform - the protective coating should not interfere with folding and unfolding the chair-bed. Therefore, covers are sewn individually for each piece of furniture.

How to decompose?

The Wattviken chair has a fairly simple folding mechanism - a roll-out mechanism. When it becomes necessary to disassemble it, you should pull the seat towards you, and additional sections will slide out. Next, the seat is turned over and a berth is created.

As you can see, the process will not take much time and effort, but it is worth considering several disadvantages in this design. Firstly, there may be gaps between the individual parts of the mattress, and secondly, “Vattviken” may be uncomfortable for tall or elderly people due to the low height of the bed.

For an overview of the Ikea chair, watch the following video.

Based on the information provided by Ikea and thanks to customer reviews, we can form a more objective picture of each option and make the right decision.

To make it easier for you to make a purchasing decision, we have collected all the advantages and disadvantages in one table:

Types of children's chair-beds with design differences

Regardless of the same type of name for a piece of children's furniture, the chairs may differ in the layout method and other features. Let's talk about each option in more detail.

Armchair-bed with several sections of a berth

Roll-out option and “accordion”

Such models have a fairly simple working mechanism. There is no effort required to use the bed. Therefore, even a preschooler can cope with the task of preparing a sleeping place. Inside the structure there may be a drawer for storing linen.

Stable chair model with dolphin layout

Dolphin or folding bed

These options are only suitable for older children, as they may be difficult to unfold. Parents will need to regularly help their child in such a difficult task. But for children over 10 years old, this design is not only best suited, but the child will also like it.

Armchair-bed with decorative bolsters

“Click-clack” and Euro-book

The click-clack mechanism is convenient for quickly preparing a bed. It is enough to free the furniture from excess decor, lift it by the bottom of the mattress and wait for a click. The front and back are then lowered to form an elongated mattress.

How to distinguish from a fake?

In the world of unfair competition, we often come across products that pretend to be original brands. At the same time, their quality and other parameters cannot be compared with branded products. To protect yourself from negative emotions and unnecessary costs, let us remind you how to distinguish Ikea products:

The company provides a 10-year warranty on most models. If you keep the receipt, you can easily exchange the furniture or get your money back, even if six years have passed. Such manipulations can be performed at any nearest company store. However, remember that companies that pretend to be a well-known brand will not undertake such obligations.

The well-known company has its own peculiarity - it produces furniture in the form of series. These can be options for the living room, children's room, kitchen, etc. This also applies to hanging chairs. If the model does not have a series, then it is a fake. For example, if a chair is made of artificial rattan and has only a number but no name, then this is a low-quality product and is not worth buying. Ikea wicker products are much denser in structure and have a more compact shape.

The design of the famous brand is quite recognizable. These include clear lines, dense fabric, and the absence of excessive decor. All models attract buyers with their simplicity and precise proportions. Regular customers will easily be able to distinguish the products of their favorite company.

Brand history

Ikea was founded by Ingvar Kamprad in 1943, a Swedish entrepreneur who began selling matches and ballpoint pens as a child. In the middle of the last century, this furniture was very expensive and not everyone could afford it, so the young entrepreneur had a desire to make affordable and simple furniture. The Ikea brand is an abbreviation of the name of its creator and the village where he lived. At first, it sold only pens, and only in 1948 did the first furniture appear.

10 years later, Ingvar Kamprad opened the first store, and it did not look like the huge modern hypermarkets, but rather resembled a showroom with a couple of chairs and chests of drawers. The main feature of Ikea was that every buyer or onlooker could try out the furniture at work: sit on it in the case of chairs or fully open and close dresser drawers. In the 1960s, several branded stores opened in Sweden, and by the end of the century the chain had expanded throughout the world.

Loft bed

IKEA produces several bed frames for children's rooms - metal SVERTA, TUFFING, VITVAL and wooden MIDAL. You can choose either single-tier structures with a place to sleep at the top, or two-tier ones for two children.

It is easy to use the free space under the loft bed by placing a sofa or a mini-office for studying. This is the best option for small children's rooms. The cost of products starts from 9,999 rubles.

Features, advantages and disadvantages

A folding chair from the presented company can serve as a sleeping place for both guests and household members. Modern real estate prices do not allow a person with an average income to buy spacious apartments, so many families are limited to small two-room apartments. The chair-bed will become a real “lifesaver” when organizing the atmosphere in the house.

This piece of furniture significantly saves space, folds quickly and easily, and is equipped with a comfortable mattress. Unlike a folding sofa, this chair can be placed in a corner and pulled out only when necessary. Even if you put two such chairs with a single bed, they will take up less space than one double sofa. In addition, the chair has a nice, unified design and fits perfectly into any interior style.

When considering sliding chairs from IKEA, you should pay attention to the following advantages of the product:

• The furniture is made exclusively from certified materials, so the buyer does not have to worry about the possibility of allergies.
• The chairs can be easily and quickly unfolded and assembled; even a fragile woman can handle this.
• Each product has easily accessible instructions for use, assembly, disassembly, and care recommendations.
• The structure is made of high-strength powder-coated steel, which ensures high reliability and lightness of the frame.
• The base is orthopedic, that is, it retains elasticity for a long time. Sleeping on a mattress is not only comfortable, but also healthy.
• The covers on the models are removable, which allows them to be washed in a timely manner.

The disadvantages of the product include the price of the chair-bed. It really fluctuates within the cost of a single bed, but if you remember that the purpose of a folding chair is multitasking, then it turns out that when buying it, the consumer saves a lot. Without such a unique design, he would have to buy a separate bed, chair, and mattress, which would cost more than one chair-bed.

Review of all models from the catalog

There are not many similar chairs in Ikea's assortment. But thanks to their neutral design, they will suit almost any interior. There are only three models in the series “Vattviken” (new for summer 2019), “Vallentuna”, “Lycksele”. The latter option is available in three variations, differing only in the characteristics of the mattress.

We’ll start the review with the most inexpensive ones and continue in ascending order of price.

Pay attention to the notes on each model, highlighted in color: these are the features that distinguish a particular chair from others.

Lycksele Lövos

The most budget option of all presented in the catalog.

It has a clamshell-type mechanism called an “accordion”.

Suitable for everyday sleep.

Watch how to unfold the Lycksele chair in the video:

The price starts from 8,999 rubles.

The cost of Lycksele models depends on the choice of cover design.

Identical in appearance and mechanism to the Murbo and Hovet models, it is inferior only in mattress density - 28 kg/cub.m. This is not critical, considering that in most similar models of chair-beds from other manufacturers on the market, this parameter starts from 25 kg/cub.m.

The density of polyurethane foam in a mattress indicates its rigidity and elasticity and, as a result, comfort and wear resistance.

Sold with a removable cover that can be machine washed at 40 0 ​​.

Ikea chair cover

Lycksele Murbo

A folding chair, which in appearance and layout mechanism does not differ from the previous one. In fact, the quality characteristics of the mattress differ only in the density of the polyurethane foam in its composition - 35 kg/cub.m. It will be more comfortable to sleep without it. The rest is the same steel frame with epoxy coating and the same removable covers.

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.

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.

Features and Benefits

Buying multifunctional furniture is a necessity when there is nowhere to accommodate frequent guests. And it does not always correspond to the taste and capabilities of buyers: sometimes the color is wrong, sometimes the price is too high, sometimes the mechanism is too complex. The Ikea brand is famous for its thoughtful furniture, which includes chair beds. These models are incredibly stylish, comfortable, practical and inexpensive - almost everyone can afford such a purchase.

The main advantages of folding chairs from the Swedish manufacturer:

• Environmental friendliness. For the production of furniture, Ikea uses only high-quality natural raw materials, so sleeping in such a chair will be safe and relaxing;
• Ease of use. The folding mechanism of the chair-bed is very simple: just lift it slightly from the floor and pull the seat towards you. Even an older child can cope with this;
• A thoughtful design allows a compact chair to turn into a full-fledged “single bed” and vice versa - the bed can easily be transformed into an armchair without a hint of a sleeping place;

• Strength. The frame of the chair is made of hollow steel tubes treated with powder coating. Therefore, Ikea chairs last a long time even with frequent use, during which the furniture does not creak or sag in the most unexpected places;
• The orthopedic river base with wide slats ensures healthy sleep and relaxation on the chair. Beech or birch armor (lamellas) take on the load from the weight and evenly distribute it onto the spine, and the armor holders firmly hold the structure;
• The mattress lining is polyurethane foam of varying degrees of hardness or “pocket” springs and latex filler;
• Removable chair covers make furniture care simple: just remove and wash the soiled fabric of the removable or mattress cover. And if the outer case gets boring or loses its attractive appearance, then it can be easily replaced with a new one;
• The universal style of the chairs allows them to complement the interior of any room - from a classic bedroom to an ultra-modern living room;
• Mobility. Needless to say, the Ikea chair-bed is easy to move around the apartment or even at home due to the built-in wheels (in some models) and their overall low weight;
• Affordable price of chairs - from 10,999 to 16,999 rubles.

Another advantage in favor of a chair-bed is that it does not need to allocate space in the apartment: it will fit in almost any corner of the room. Such furniture can replace a full-fledged sofa (the width of 80 cm allows this to be done) if 1-2 people live in an apartment or even in a tiny studio, where there is simply no place for a large piece of furniture to be located. In this case, the chair can be disassembled and accommodate guests by making a soft back from many pillows.

A chair-bed can become a full-fledged sleeping place not only for guests, but also for the residents themselves: the slatted base has a beneficial effect on the health of the back, evenly distributing body weight. In addition, the width of the chair is quite suitable for proper rest - 80 cm is enough to normally accommodate one person.

BEDINGE RESMU Sofa bed 3-seater IKEA Ikea

The second excellent sofa bed from IKEA is the BEDINGE model (indicated 10 advantages / and only 2 disadvantages, importance at the end of the review). Photos from 2010, 2013, 2014

beds from my other reviews. Photo 2022 BEDINGE – like new!

A removable one-room apartment from 2010 - a practical IKEA sofa bed was bought for us by the owner. My husband collected it himself. Nothing complicated at all.

Photos of bed linen for previously written reviews on the Irecommend website are preserved in the archive.

– Where did my sheet go!? What about the color of the bed linen?

– If someone is looking for bed linen as a gift, buy sets from TANGO.

PRODUCT NAME:

BEDINGE 3-seater sofa bed

EQUIPMENT:

* disassembled metal frame,

* all connecting elements, bolts, washers, nuts, screwdrivers are included,

* wooden orthopedic bed base,

* cover for the sofa bed.

ADDITIONALLY:

* a bottom storage box was purchased.

PRICE of sofa bed in February 2022 on the IKEA website = 17,999 rubles.

The price of a used sofa bed on Avito, Yule ranges from 19,999 rubles. up to 3,000 rub. (you need to monitor here)

DELIVERY:

We had delivery from the store.

The largest and heaviest packaging is parts of a metal frame 200 cm long.

Packaging BEDINGE frame of a 3-seat sofa bed weighing 37 kg.

The packaging of BEDINGE polyurethane foam thick mattress (LEVOS) with a cover is light, but bulky.

If someone decides to drive themselves in a passenger car, most likely it is necessary to have a long car, at a minimum, fold down the rear seats.

ASSEMBLY:

Both times we did it ourselves. There are instructions both on the website and in the box.

An incorrectly assembled sofa simply won’t turn into a bed.

USING EXPERIENCE:

The metal frame is MEGA DURABLE.

The orthopedic base together with the mattress is pleasant for relaxing on the sofa.

We have been using BEDINGE as a bed for over 6 years. The mattress is not dented. The slats didn't break.

When converting the bed into a sofa, the mattress folds in half. It has two parts with a zipper.

In December 2022, I removed the rather dirty white covers from the mattress and washed them. And put it back on. The fabric didn’t shrink, but I had to work hard to squeeze the polyurethane foam into the cover and zip it up smoothly. But the mattress is like new again!

Like a sofa, BEDINGE has a slightly wider lower part to make sitting comfortable. When you fold, you won’t confuse this moment.

The back of the sofa can be adjusted, but very carefully. There were cases when the springs at the bottom did not work the first time (TWO CLICKS) and I raised and lowered them several times in the sofa position...

Pillows were purchased separately. They are moving with us for the third time))))

The sofa bed has legs. Convenient to clean the floor.

BUT! If you buy a box, it simply stands on the floor and is attached to the frame. A lot of dust accumulates in it...

Through the slatted base, through the space from the floor, since the box is not closed.

BUT! there is a drawer, there is extra storage space.

I wouldn’t recommend putting bed linen or anything you need for every day, or children’s things, for two reasons: it’s a bit difficult to fold and unpack every day; dust accumulates.

Most suitcases won't fit in the bottom storage drawer either. The box is low.

We had boxes of seasonal shoes there.

DISADVANTAGES (there are few):

I already named a couple earlier:

– this is still not a sofa bed for daily transformation. It’s hard for me, and the structure may not withstand hanging up and down. For us, 80% of the time it’s a bed, and when guests come, it’s a sofa.

– in our apartments where we lived the walls were painted. The metal frame leaves small marks when in contact with the wall.

PROS:

– an excellent option for a rented apartment,

– there are legs, you can easily move the sofa when assembled (just don’t forget to glue soft protection to the bottom of the legs so as not to scratch the floor),

– universal size (two people can sleep well, if desired, three can fit),

– slatted orthopedic bottom. It is springy, although this is not felt in ordinary life, but everything is calculated specifically to make it more comfortable to sit, lie,

– at first it’s unusual, then the only plus is the lack of armrests. Instead, use wide pillows that match the sofa. But without them, the bed can be turned to any side. Such a mini-permutation)))

– everything erases itself!

– an inexpensive option for a sofa bed,

– medium-hard mattress. If desired, you can change it to a classic, non-folding one, if you use it only as a bed,

– you should immediately purchase a water-repellent protective cover,

– several color options for covers.

Popular series

Among the wide range of Ikea chair-beds, three leading series can be distinguished. The construction and design features of iconic models are collected in a single table.

The range also includes large models known as a fold-out ottoman or sofa bed. The berth in such modifications extends from under the seat, rather than being transformed from the backrest. When assembled, the furniture has a double seat, when disassembled it turns into a single or double bed.

Ikea chair beds are suitable for minimalist interior design and allow you to save space thanks to their folding design. Ease of transformation and a large number of colors allow you to place this furniture in all rooms. The designs fit best into a child’s room, small bedroom, living room, or studio. The presence of covers allows you to keep the upholstery clean, easily change the color scheme, and mattresses make the furniture even more convenient and comfortable.

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.
