HOLMSUND – The Sofa That Works Overtime

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.
These Holmsund sleeping beds are filmed by Mauritz Interior & Design at IKEA, Sofia, Bulgaria.
Looking to divide a room without building a wall? IKEA PLATSA might be the solution you're after – but it comes with some conditions.
Mauritz has personally photographed over 140 different IKEA kitchens in showrooms across Europe. Each kitchen showcases real-life layouts, authentic color combinations, and clever material pairings – all labeled with front styles, countertops, faucets, lighting, and even official NCS color codes.
This cozy yet modern IKEA showroom brings together natural textures, industrial flair and clever multi-functional furniture. Captured by Mauritz during a visit to an IKEA store, the space blends rustic charm with contemporary smartness, making it ideal for compact apartments or open-plan living.
Choosing the right cabinet finish is one of the most important steps when designing an IKEA kitchen. Should you go for high-gloss doors that reflect light and create a modern vibe, or matte finishes that feel calm, soft, and timeless?
Chair pads might seem like a small detail in home decor, but at IKEA they play a surprisingly big role. Not only do they add comfort to your dining chairs, but they also help set the tone for your kitchen, dining room, or balcony. Whether you want a cozy farmhouse feel or a clean modern look, IKEA has a chair cushion to match....
