Comfort WorksCustom Karlstad Sofa Covers, Replacement for IKEA Karlstad 3-Seater Sofa (3-Seater - Medium Grey)

I had sooo many questions. I’m sure you do as well, so here are all the details.It’s polyester- is it shiny or scratchy?No! It’s actually a really soft matte finish and feels like a very thick cotton/linen blend.Is it fitted?Yes and no. Everything goes on comfortably tight, but these is a bit of wiggle room- which I like. The appearance is similar to a high-end custom-fitted slip cover sofa.No zippers - can you turn the cushions?You can turn both bottom and top cushions- but the top cushions will show a tiny bump where the overlapped Fabric fold ends. (The actual seam on both is at the end - so it’s hidden)Will they lose their shape when you sit in them? They surprising do not sag after sitting - but I’m going to purchase some Velcro tape for a more snug appearance and extras reinforcement.Smell? None.Color? A very soft medium grey with a linen like texture. Very tasteful.Would I buy again? OMG yes!!! I have 2 cats that destroy everything and a teen that is constantly spilling. I was looking at replacement sofas but decided to give these a try first - so glad I did! A fresh, clean look for under $300??? What???? And I can wash them??? Yes please.No sure why the manufacturer has the pics they do. The first pic looks like dark wool and perfectly fitted, and the second 2 pics (on white) makes the cover look like stretchy grey denim that’s faded and way too tight. I’m glad I ignored those pics and took a shot. (If the manufacturer is reading this and wants to send me a few covers - I’ll be glad to take accurate pics;)I must say - these are a steal- you won’t regret this purchase.

Fabric is starting to fuzz up after few months of having it.Edit January 1/17/2023Bought it back in August 2022. Fabric still fuzzes up. It is beyond uncomfortable to sit on. I would highly not recommend buying this as a sofa cover.

This was exactly what we were looking for to cover our sofa. It went on easily and fit perfectly. The material is very soft and seems durable. Definitely worth the price.

Ironing needed to get rid of packaging lines.As for appearance, I continue to question, cover or slipcover? It is not a snug fit. I prefer a more quality looking piece.As the summer goes on, more people will sit on it. And, then I will decide if it will work.

Bought this a little over a year ago and I'm so disappointed in the fabric. It's fuzzy/pilling and looks awful. Turned the seats over and the fabric on that side got fuzzy after a month or two. The original fabric is faded but held up amazing, I wish I had bought covers from IKEA back when they made them.

This does actually fit over a leather Katlstad. I am guessing they do not recommend it because it can be “slippy” and might cause friction damage to the leather beneath. I also have the tufted leather Karlstad so I have to leave the leather cover on because the tufts are sewn through the cushion and cover. If the leather gets badly damaged over time I will likely cut the tufts to remove the leather cover and just use this fabric cover over the foam cushion interior.The back cushions covers are a bit loose, but I can easily fix that with my sewing skills to make a more custom fit to my couch. The seat cushions fit very well. I am likely to add hook & loop or some other fastener to keep the covers secured because they are just an envelope type pocket system and do not have zippers to secure them.I got the Loveseat cover in Grey Linen style and it is a nice tailored look, but the fabric isn’t super sturdy feeling, so time will tell how long this lasts. The main body cover has a thin microfiber feeling fabric on the seat and partway up the back that would be under the cushions. This feels kind of flimsy so it could wear out faster than the rest if you have a lot of movement. The middle of the body cover has a piece of hook and loop that must have a corresponding piece on the body of the fabric upholstered Karlstad that my leather upholstery does not have. This would keep the body cover from sliding much, so you may not need to worry about that if you have the fabric upholstered version of this couch.I have a two-seat couch with chaise add-on configuration. I bought the loveseat stand alone cover to provide configuration options for myself and will probably be buying a chaise cover to use that part alone and cover its attachment holes. I like having options and plan to keep this couch for much longer. It is currently 11 years old and going strong, but I want options and expect there to come a time when these slipcovers will no longer be available and want to be prepared.

We have 2 Karlstad sofas and I'm really pleased with these slipcovers. The one piece design of these covers, still have a nice fitted look, but are so much easier than the origional covers, that require you to disassemble the sofa arms, to remove and put on the covers. The fabric is soft and the color is a warm grey and a shade darker, with less pattern, than the the original Ikea Isunda grey covers. It would be nice to have a couple more color options in this basic, lower priced, one piece design.

I bought this for my IKEA Karlstadt sofa that is still in great shape except for major discoloration on the white armrests over the years of having it. This was super easy to put on. I didn't even take off any of the original covers. Not having to disassemble to armrests/sides is fabulous. I haven't washed it yet, so I don't know how it will do because it is a flannel type fabric. But I imagine if it is the only item in the load, it will turn out okay. I tried one of the cheaper stretch style covers before this one, but really, this is so much better. I only wish it came in a white or off white like my original cover, but that's not a big deal.
