This flexibility means you don't have to replace your entire sofa just to get a fresh look. Change the fabric, wash it, or buy an extra cover when you want to update your space.

🪑 Comfort & Seating Experience

KIVIK is known for its softness and support. The combination of high-resilience polyurethane foam, polyester fiber, and memory foam creates a deep yet balanced sit. The back cushions are loose and generously filled, offering lumbar support while staying casual.

The wide armrests are ideal for resting a laptop, a coffee mug, or your head during naps. This feature has become one of the signature elements of KIVIK.

🧼 Care and Practical Use

KIVIK's removable covers make it a practical choice for everyday life. Spills, dust, or wear? Just remove and machine wash. If you live with pets, kids, or simply want low-maintenance furniture, this series fits the bill.

The chaise and footstool can be rearranged easily. Some versions of the footstool even come with hidden storage inside.

🧩 Final Verdict

KIVIK is a long-time favorite in the IKEA sofa range for good reason. It combines comfort, design, and flexibility at a very fair price point. Whether you're furnishing your first apartment, upgrading your family home, or simply want a deeper seat for cozy evenings, the KIVIK sofa delivers. Stylish, practical, and customizable – it ticks all the right boxes.
