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.

Whether you're furnishing your first apartment, upgrading your family home, or simply want a deeper seat for cozy evenings, the KIVIK sofa delivers.
