Just wanted to jump in and say thank you for making this video!!! This worked like a charm. I did the washers on each side and the L brackets and have had zero problems for less than $6 bucks.

Good solution, had this issue when I has family over, happened more frequently as I was pulling out the extra section. Thank you!!

Thank you ! 🙏🏻

Many thanks 🙏🏻 I didn’t know what else to do.

Just dropping by to show appreciation for your video. Man, you have no idea how annoying it was! Thanks, dude, you're the real MVP.

3 years later and this video is still super helpful! I have been having the same problem and I started by fixing in the washer, which helped resolve the issue, but I was annoyed by the sides moving apart still, so I decided to install the brackets today Thank you so much!

Thank you

Can a standing desk slide under the sofa? How much space is there from the bottom of sofa to the floor?

I need to try it thank you so much!

Amazing - simple fix that will hopefully be the end of so much frustration! Thank you so much for sharing. Like other people have said, I don't understand why Ikea refuse to make a more permanent fix - but then I guess that would involve them admitting there is a problem!

Thank you OMG!!!🎉

Any recommendations for makong it pop up a bit better?

Ours was so hard to screw in that they became stripped just putting them in so now it pops out but we can't fix it

That is really clever! And a great guide on top of that! Thank you!

Thank you so much. You're a life saver.

Aha! I will try this!

I think it may have worked, thank you for the idea and taking the time to make this video to save all our butts!

This is so smart! Such a good solution to both issues! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Mine isn’t from ikea but I will definitely try

I never had it slip out but then again I don't use it as a bed often. I do however get a lot of play from the armrest like you said and I was doubting whether I had assembled it right but looks like that's just a design issue. I might do the L bracket fix when I do my project to raise the height of this sofa.

Omfg!!! TY so much man. What an easy and simple fix. I did this with a couple washers, screws and brackets I had around the house. You’re a genius man.

Thank you for this!!

How is sofa cum bed going now? Still going strong? How do you rate it's durability?

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for sharing, this problem has always been so annoying, you're a genius

I added 4 washers to each screw and then added heavy duty rubberized pads for the couch legs and that worked for me!

Thank you for taking the time to share your fixes with the rest of us peons!

Thank you for this fix!

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE A HERO!!!!!!

Hi. How loud is it? In dbi. Thanks

Thank you Rasheem! We were going crazy , our side panel wasn't going on properly. 3 washers on each bolt was enough to line things up properly. Problem solved! Thank you again!

Can confirm it worked perfectly !! How they havent fixed this design flaw after so many years, is beyond me...

I tried 3 and then 6 washers on each screw but it was still able to slip out quite easily. Mine was apparently so messed up that I had to put the "hook" at an angle by using more washers on one side than the other (6 on the front side, 0 on the back side). That eventually fixed it. I hope it doesn't strain the wood too much, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

great solution. same issue here, i hope ikea should pay attention to this common place design flaw.

Thank you!! Your solution was easy to follow!!

Thanks you for the great tip 😊

Thank you for this fix! I predrilled holes and used some 1 inch particle board flat head screws. I only used one bracket and didn't put washers in the hooks and it has been working like a charm so far!

Right on, the L brackets are key to solving this mass production fail by IKEA. They know but since this is their economical line they don’t care to make it sturdy. They run on the same controlled obsolescence design as the rest of the world.

Thank you so much I've been going crazy trying to figure out how I can solve this issue and this is a great remedy!

I think i'll do the bracket part. Thank you for the idea!

This looks amazing only thing is I have no idea where to buy could you please send link to screw and washers L’s thank you also the size of washers

Bless u too. Its surprising no one ever report this issue

I just added 3 thick washers to the hook that kept popping out and its fixed took 2 minutes.. can't believe we've lived with this problem for that long .. thanks

Aiutooo,ho questo problema! Come faccio 😢

Thanks I just got the sofa and the first day it was put together. This was a problem! Ikea hast to know, this is a problem and they still haven’t fixed it😮

Just made both modifications to my Friheten yesterday and it's already incredibly more stable than before. Thanks so much for making this video 🙏🏻

Thankyou. We have same issue. My job for the weekend.

I have this exact same problem with the sofa. It's a guest bed for when my mom visits and I worry about her slipping on it. Definitely going to try these fixes. Thanks!!!

Size of washers I used. 1/4". I used three for each nail (so 3 multiplied by 4). I also only used one bracket at the bottom where he had his, but my bracket was smaller (it will be nice for someone to push it in while you screw those into place).

Thank you!
