I get questions all the time what I think about them and the usual response is that I love them…. Let me start with saying I did my research on them before heading out on a little road trip to pick them up.
The pros for sure outweigh the cons, but I thought it would be helpful to share with you what I wish I would have known before purchasing them. We chose the Ektorp style sofa and chair. We purchased two sofas and one chair for our living room. Our living room is pretty large so we wanted sofas that were large enough to fill the space. That was very important to us.
The next test was comfort. That part was pretty scary not exactly knowing if it was going to be soft enough for our family. After we got there and was able to sit on it, I was pleasantly surprised. One year later I am happy to report that they have gotten softer. I also want to add that the fullness is still in tact. It still looks like the day we brought them home.

The last piece of information that is very important is cost. These couches are super affordable. The shape and style of them remind me of Pottery Barn couches but at a fraction of the price. You get so much bang for your buck with these couches. So, one of the most popular questions that I get is about my slipcover. So my fist instinct was an off-white.
We decided on Nordvalla Dark Beige.
My Honest Review of Ikea’s Ektorp Sofa and Slipcover
I loved it because it had a linen look to it and the color was exactly what I was looking for. I love this color!! Ready to hear the best part about these slipcovers? You can wash them! I know, I know, that is the purpose of a slipcover, but I will never go back to a regular couch. We have two adults, three children one being a baby , and two black dogs.

In other words, something is always going down on these couches. They are so simple to wash. I wash them exactly how the directions say and then air dry them. Another pro is that after you wash them, getting the slipcover back on is pretty simple, especially if they are still a little damp. The most difficult part was the first time, but now that I know what I am doing it is super simple and quick.
Now for the cons. This slipcover has a pretty big con. So, after we had these couches for about 3 months, I started noticing that the fabric was balling up. Not at all what you want to see on your new couches.
