HOLMSUND – The Sofa That Works Overtime

25.06.2025

Some sofas are made for relaxing. HOLMSUND is made for real life. It's more than just a place to sit – it transforms, it stores, it adapts. Whether you're watching a movie, hosting overnight guests, or just needing extra storage, this sleeper sofa fits right in. And it does it all without looking like a compromise.

At first glance, it's a classic IKEA sofa with high arms, plush back cushions, and a neat profile that suits both modern and traditional homes. But behind the everyday look hides a practical feature – it's also a bed.

What makes HOLMSUND stand out isn't just the fact that it's a sleeper sofa. It's how easily it transforms. One simple pull and you have a full-size bed, perfect for overnight guests or a quick weekend nap. No heavy lifting, no complicated steps. Just a smooth, satisfying slide.

The design feels thoughtful. The angled backrest makes it comfortable to sit upright without needing extra cushions. The armrests are firm enough to lean on with a book or a cup of coffee. And the storage under the seat is a bonus. It's the perfect spot for extra bedding, seasonal throws or that spare set of sheets you only use when guests come over.

HOLMSUND comes in a range of colors, often seen in grays, beiges, and soft blues. The upholstery fabric is tight and durable, giving the sofa a structured shape that holds up well over time.

It's not a flashy piece. But that's part of the charm. HOLMSUND is made to fit into real homes – small apartments, guest rooms, multipurpose living areas. It's not just somewhere to sit. It's a smart solution that adapts to your life.

Choosing between IKEA's BODBYN and STENSUND kitchen fronts can be surprisingly difficult. Both styles offer a timeless, traditional aesthetic with framed panel doors, soft colors, and matte finishes. But the differences in design detail, material, and overall feel can significantly impact the look and mood of your kitchen.
