Easy to clean: Most IKEA covers are machine washable.
Style flexibility: Swap covers seasonally or when your decor changes.
Budget-friendly: Buying a new cover is much cheaper than buying a new sofa.
Sustainability: Prolong the life of your furniture without replacing the entire piece.
Some of the most common IKEA slipcover fabrics include:
Hillared – Durable with a woven texture
Hakebo – Soft and matte finish
Kilanda – Light, linen-like feel
Knisa / Vansbro / Skartofta – Often used on LYCKSELE and NYHAMN models
Karlshov / Hallarp / Gransel – Available in newer lines like HYLTARP and EKHOLMA
Several factors influence how much a slipcover from IKEA costs:
Modular design: Sofas like FINNALA or SÖDERHAMN are sold in sections, and each part requires its own cover. The total price depends on how many modules you have.
Fabric type: Premium textiles such as Hillared or Kilanda tend to cost more than simpler cotton or polyester blends.
Availability: Covers for older or discontinued models may become more expensive over time or go on clearance when stock runs low.
Regional pricing: Prices can vary between markets. For example, a cover may be more expensive in the US than in Europe or vice versa, depending on local demand and import costs.
If you want more variety than IKEA offers, companies like Bemz and Comfort Works make custom slipcovers for many IKEA sofas – including discontinued models like EKTORP.
