Many shoppers in Leeds often ask whether IKEA sofa covers bought from IKEA Leeds can be used on non-IKEA sofas. The short answer is: not always. While IKEA designs are stylish and affordable, their Sofa Covers are tailored specifically for IKEA models, which means the fit may not be perfect for other sofa brands.
Why IKEA Sofa Covers May Not Fit Other Sofas
-
Size Specificity – Each IKEA sofa has unique dimensions. A cover designed for an EKTORP may not fit a non-IKEA 3-seater.
-
Armrest Shapes – Many sofas outside IKEA have different armrest heights or widths, making IKEA covers unsuitable.
-
Slip-on vs. Stretch – IKEA covers are often tailored slip-ons, while stretch-fit couch covers from other brands adjust more easily.
