I’ve seen a handful of people saying they can’t get the hack to work to order online without the covers. Be sure to click product details and then scroll down and click assembly and documents to see the individual item numbers to type in. Here is the blog post that goes more in-depth: blog.comfort-works.com/order-ikea-sofa-without-cover/ I hope that helps, and if you still can’t get it to work you can of course go into the store to purchase without the covers as well.
I think they’ve removed it or we dont have this system in the uk. I can see all the product details but the frame means the entire sofa, they’re not broken into different sections. Maybe its worth going into an ikea store and ask a member of staff
Hi, I tried, but it didn't work as Emily said. I visited the comfort work' website, read through it, and tried it in IKEA US, though... IKEA took off the "removal product" bottom, so no longer works, unfortunately. If I am wrong, please update the information again. I am looking forward to seeing it.
Hey Emily, just wondering about the sofa itself. Comfort is by far the most important thing to me. That and longevity. Love to know how you are still rating it for these aspects! 😊
@@monoomouashiyes, ikea updated as of February 2024. The assembly documents online no longer states article/product numbers. Best bet go into ikea. This was likely intentional. They want their money!
Hi, Emily. Just a helpful hint for future videos, please turn down (or off) the background music. For those of us with some hearing impairments, it makes it difficult to hear you and the CC isn’t always accurate (or even available). Thanks!! And great hack!!
Yes! I am hearing, but sometimes struggle with contrasting sounds, especially with voices + music/noise. Please remove background music when speaking or lower it to very low & increase your voice volume in the video. 🙏🏼
Great video, I knew about this hack. But here is another one for you, if the linen covers get dirty in time and you cannot clean them anymore, you can stil save them by dying them in the waschinmashine, linen would colour so beautifully. I do this all the time with linen clothing, it is amazing. You have to go darker, but still it is not all lost and still feels like you get a new couch. 🤗😘
I think you may be the first RUclipsr to be making this public knowledge. You go girl! Great hack! And maybe when Ikea is stuck with a whole bunch of ugly slipcovers they will figure out they need to come up with better options!
Oh Thank you sooo much, i didn't even finished watching the video i just ran on the website just tried it here in France and booom for half of the price i got the sofa now ready to choose my custom slipcover!!! especially here i spend tons of hours looking for a sofa that shape and it is even non existing here, thank you soo soo much
Your baby is adorable and your video is one of the most user-friendly ones ever. Love how you scroll your computer screen on the side to give us a visual. Great job.
Having a baby soon and finding it all very daunting. Seeing you sitting there with baby and talking about finding affordable things and moving makes it... doable. Not saying everything is perfect because lord knows baby life is chaotic by design but it made me aspire to doability... thanks.
My wonderful sister bought me this sofa (couch) when I separated and moved into a smaller place by myself with the kids and had nothing. It is now 6 years later and soooo love it still. It’s the comfiest couch and many friends have loved sleeping over on it, it’s comfier than a bed if you take the back cushions off. Great for naps too! 😴 I took the covers off a few years ago as I prefer the look with the feet and no skirt and have just had throw rugs on it but I’m about to invest in a Bemz slipcover.
I knew about the hack but only because someone on the customer service line informed me after being stressed about waiting months for my Uppland sectional from IKEA. I purchased the couch raw and bought slipcovers from a different IKEA! I want linen ones so I'll have to purchase yet another set from comfort works! Great video!
Oh my gosh. You are me. I am you. Moved & sold everything. MUST have a slipcover couch. Love thrifting and good deals. Obsessed with all things home decor.
This is so helpful! I spent months without a couch because of the shortages so I ended up getting a second hand Soderhamn sofa (parts of it, they kept some of the sectional for their move across the country lol) but they gave me the wrong arm, so I have one normal sized arm and one short arm. Whenever I have the cash saved I planned on upgrading the fabric to be more pet-friendly/stain-resistant so I'll definitely be using this tip.
Ooooo! I’m actually in the market for a new sofa. The one I have is a hand-me-down my brother had for more than 10 years. The cushions are done. I thought about slip covers but the cushions…. I will now check IKEA to see if they have the style I’m looking for. If I find it I’m headed to Comfort Works. Thank you for the information, extremely helpful. Have a great weekend.🤗
So glad RUclips suggested your video. This seems to be my story, I did figure this hack few weeks back when the only sofa I wanted within budget was farlov, only difference is I’m still figuring out which fabric to go for, from the samples I ordered. I’m also considering few sellers from Etsy to order from.
I liked the white linen fabric too but it failed the stain test I did hence thinking to go for polyester fabric. But one day when the kids are older I’ll definitely go for linen 😀
Emily you mentioned the covers you got are pure linen and you paid $430. The pure linen natural is $669. The $430 is linen and cotton mix. Is yours the linen and Cotton mix?
This is amazing! We are moving states soon and I was thinking of throwing away our couch but with two kids I didn’t want to spend too much and I now I won’t! Thank you thank you thank you!
Wow this is incredible. I had no idea this was a possibility. This opens up a zillion new opportunities to get the perfect custom sofa. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
This is one of the most helpful RUclips videos I've seen lately. THANK YOU! Can I ask if you went for the white pure linen, or the natural pure linen? Sorry if I missed you saying it. Thanks!
I can't thank you enough for having the kindness to share such an awesome tip/hack, that just shows how much of a selfless and good hearted person you are Thank you so very much🥰❤️
I’m in California and it is always sold out. The site is horrible too. One minute it states it will deliver to my area, the next minute it says it won’t. Sold out everywhere in the LA area. I called IKEA and they said the sofa’s are being discontinued on July 7th, so they aren’t bring anymore into stock. I searched for a used one and couldn’t find one. I was lucky enough to find it this week about 3 miles away and it’s only 6 months old. Perfect condition and I got it for $450. It has the grey velvet and I just ordered the linen covers too. Good luck.
How comfortable is the Farlov if someone sits right in middle to watch TV? That's my spot, and I'm wondering if the cushions on the back with split in the middle will become uncomfortable.
I love this video, such an expensive look but is a cheap alternative. Im happy I saw this video and instantly did the ikea hack! I drove all the way to Ikea in PA (I’m in NY) to get this sofa! But so so worth it. Thanks for putting me on 😉
Very nice! What about comfort? How durable and comfortable is it? I’m sure you can’t attest too much to the durability yet but comfort? I’m afraid of running into the “you get what you pay for” issue with ikea couches..
I like it more than our previous couches. My dad sat on it and said wow that’s way more comfortable than other ikea couches I’ve sat on. I felt the same way.
So when you ordered your couch did you add two numbers to the cart? One says armrest frame 2 pack - $130 and the other says frame for sofa section $380??
Hi Emily, your video was exactly what i needed :) little question though and not sure you already mentioned it, but which style of slipcover did you choose because it seems there are two: minimalist and scandinavian? Thanks so much for your reply!
I haven't had to wash them yet but all that info would be on comfort works website and if not you could email them. They hold up really well so far. Couple water spills and it doesn't show! Thanks for watching!
I'm so disappointed IKEA has discontinued this sofa, at least in the U.S. It seems they replaced it with the Hyltarp. I don't like the boxier shape of that sofa as much and they no longer offer the olive green velvet cover I wanted. 😢
I’ve wanted a bench seat couch for a while now too and am currently using a very firm IKEA sectional I’m not really loving. It’s not comfortable at all. I’m guessing this couch of yours is not a rock to sick on and actually a pleasure to lounge on yes? I’m excited to look into dealing out my stiff couch for a more comfy and beautiful looking one thanks to you.
Genius! Thank you! It seemed such a waste to buy a sofa only to throw away the cover (or stash it in a cupboard forever) but I don't have to. Thank you :)
I literally have the same couch with the green velvet… don’t love how linty it gets! What color/fabric is the slipcover you ordered? Love it! Also what other colors would you have chosen if it wasn’t for the linen natural color? Thanks!!!
Hi there and thanks for watching! We picked pure linen natural and love love love it! My other closest choice was the “every day linen cream”, it is whiter and beautiful as well. Comfort chenille cream, performance weave cream are my other picks as well! Definitely send comfort works an email and they will for sure help you out with any questions you have! You will be over the moon with your new slip cover.
I love it! Both the covers and the couch have held up in quality and comfort. We just washed our covers the other day and any little dirt spot came right out and now fits even better than before! Couch is really cozy as well. Deepish which we like. I recommend!
@@EmilyFaith Thanks so much. I have pretty much hated my sofa since I first got it four years ago. It has also not held up well and is NOT comfortable. Can't wait to make this change.
Hi! I’m almost 100% sure they are not down filled. Most likely whatever ikea normally uses (foam). Very cozy tho surprisingly! The fabric helps make them that much softer as well.
concerned about the customs fee. I assuming its around $40 but who knows these days. Also does it come to my door, and do I have to pay customs fee then? on the website for comfortworks it says call your local customs department. Thats like calling the DMV in 1985
Thanks for this tip! I will definitely consider this when I purchase my new sofa. A reminder though the reason why the IKEA slipcovers are more expensive is probably because they are made with more durable furniture fabrics and with certain safety standards to be fire retardent and to not stain as easuly .
Personally I think their covers are arent great colours, v limited choice & a bit cheap looking . You can scotchguard sofa covers with the scotchguard spray & then stains aren't a problem. Bemz do the best Ikea covers .
Hi Christina! We cant speak to Ikea slip covers because we have never used them. These comfort works slips tho have held up incredible. Our boys jump all over them evert single day. No pilling to scratches. Stains come out really easy as well. Comfort works is a nice alternative if you don't love the IKEA color selection. Impressed!
Wow, this is amazing! I was looking into buying the same set from IKEA but didn’t know which brand to choose for my cover. I love the one you picked out, which color did you get?!!
Hi there!! Thank you, I picked the “pure linen natural” and they also have the “performance weave cream” and “comfort chenille cream”. All are really beautiful and soft. Send comfort works an email and they will help you out with any questions! Highly recommend!
Hi there! The sofa with no slip from ikea is around $450 and the comfort works slips that i got were $430 ish. Cheaper than the green slip in the video from ikea.
Hello! Do you find that the slipcover shoes the imperfections of the cushions without another layer over the cushions? Like - dimples and such? Is it smooth? Thanks🙏
Hi Solace! Nothing so far to be honest. They are holding up really nice with our boys running and jumping all over them. The main cushion slides over time and we adjust it but it doesn't show any imperfections thus far. We truly love them! Highly recommend comfort works.
Question: is there a trick to get that luxurious over-stuffed look? Both the seat cushion and back cushions look so full. Did you IKEA hack by adding more batting or anything, or some special fluffing technique? Or maybe you're is just new than mine... 😬
Hi! No hack here with the cushions. We just got this back in December so they still are fresh. Even now after these couple months they are still holding up for us personally. 🤷🏼♀️
Just ordered my sample pack! So funny I LOVE my Pottery Barn couch! it is everything to me however I have been wanting to recover it since I moved to the Florida Keys; it is a blue slate color and that just don’t drive down here lol … and if we know anything about Pottery Barn you might as well buy another couch because it’s gonna cost the same amount as a the darn slipcover 😉 ❤️❤️❤️❤️thank you for the suggestion I can’t wait to get the samples and then my cover you’re the best! I love your channel thanks momma!! Ps Im thinking about pink!!
I have the same couch with the white cover and is amazing.Have no little kids and this is my formal living room, I will going to to look to this company. Amazing Emily I did not save the 500 dollars but is amazing!!!!!!
If you bought it from ikea you do have 365 days to return it. They might exchange the slip by it self but you would have to contact them about that. Thanks for watching!
Never fully dry Linen. It shrinks horribly. We dry, on low heat, to about 50% dry, then put covers on and allow to air dry, before placing cushions. This gives the material a slight bit of stretch and the extra bonus of no ironing! Of course, you have to pull wrinkles out and smooth fabric.
Wow lovely tip! I'm about to buy the Farlov sofa bed, hate the velvet cover it comes with in my country & planned to make my own in denim (to fit with my room design, I'm a seamstress anyway 😉). Hope I'm able to buy without the cover here in Croatia and save a few quid, ty for the tips!
I’ve seen a handful of people saying they can’t get the hack to work to order online without the covers.

For the Farlov, were there 2 pieces you had to order? The "armrest frame" and the "frame for sofa section"?
I think they’ve removed it or we dont have this system in the uk. I can see all the product details but the frame means the entire sofa, they’re not broken into different sections. Maybe its worth going into an ikea store and ask a member of staff

Yeah I had to bail. It's too much.
Agree! It is too much. And not needed. We want to hear your pleasant voice.

OMG!! Your daughter is the cutest!! Aww...congrats!
Thanks for the hack. No idea you could buy the sofas from IKEA without the cover. That is awesome!
Thank you! We are pretty swoon with her. Enjoy the price hack!
I can’t take my eyes off you Angel baby . I’m listening to your voice
Only! Your baby is the sweetest
❤️❤️❤️
Those slip covers transformed the couch into something so inviting. Love love love
Yes yes yes!! Can’t believe it’s from ikea!
Amazing! I’m definitely looking into getting a slip cover for our current couch! I didn’t know these companies existed!
Yes neither did I! They ship super fast as well. Very very pleased with how the look and feel!

Thank you thank you! Such kind words. Happy new year and thanks for watching.
If you are outside of the US call and make the custom order, I did in Australia and it worked
Good to know! Thanks for the help!
At 6:20 you will save so much money!!! Thank you for this tip
THANK YOU SM for this! I’m moving soon and I love the ikea couch but wanted a brown or nude cover so glad I can save money !
YES!! Use these hacks for sure! Comfort works definitely will have something for you! Thanks for watching!
Looks great! And what a great tip to order without covers! I do love that couch in the green velvet too though🥰
I just bought the chair in the olive green velvet and absolutely love it!.....have you ordered the Farlov yet?
Awww your lil one is adorable. Thanks for the tip.
I can't thank you enough for having the kindness to share such an awesome tip/hack, that just shows how much of a selfless and good hearted person you are
Thank you so very much🥰❤️
Oh well thank you! Hopefully it helps a handful of people with their future ikea decisions.
i was even willing to buy it with the ikea slipcover and change it but they are always sold out here, so again i am so happy i found your video
I’m in California and it is always sold out. The site is horrible too. One minute it states it will deliver to my area, the next minute it says it won’t. Sold out everywhere in the LA area.

I couldn’t find this couch anywhere is australia, I’m so devestated 😢
That slip cover fully transforms the couch. Love it!!
Truly!!
I have this sofa and love that I can change out the slipcovers . 😊
How comfortable is the Farlov if someone sits right in middle to watch TV? That's my spot, and I'm wondering if the cushions on the back with split in the middle will become uncomfortable.

So when you ordered your couch did you add two numbers to the cart? One says armrest frame 2 pack - $130 and the other says frame for sofa section $380??
yes i did add 2 item numbers, its the arm rest and the frame. Best of luck!
Love this! Your couch is what I want but I didn’t know what it was called or how to buy IKEA without covers and get custom. Thank you for sharing!!
Oh good! Glad to hear that! I feel the same way. Its the couch I always wanted and comfort works took it to a whole new level.
Hi Emily, your video was exactly what i needed :) little question though and not sure you already mentioned it, but which style of slipcover did you choose because it seems there are two: minimalist and scandinavian? Thanks so much for your reply!
I got the minimalist style💕
Looks great but having always had some sort of feather cushions wonder how comfortable it is? Doesn’t have great reviews but great ideas.
Good question! So far we LOVE the cozy cushions it came with. I read those same reviews myself and was worried but we really love these!
Love this soo much! Super informative and it turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing! ☺️
Have you washed your slip cover yet? Did they retain there size or shrink. What is the slip cover policy if they shrink on you.?
I haven't had to wash them yet but all that info would be on comfort works website and if not you could email them. They hold up really well so far. Couple water spills and it doesn't show! Thanks for watching!
I'm so disappointed IKEA has discontinued this sofa, at least in the U.S. It seems they replaced it with the Hyltarp. I don't like the boxier shape of that sofa as much and they no longer offer the olive green velvet cover I wanted. 😢

I’m guessing this couch of yours is not a rock to sick on and actually a pleasure to lounge on yes? I’m excited to look into dealing out my stiff couch for a more comfy and beautiful looking one thanks to you.
The farlov is a bit on the firm side. If you want a bit less firm, go for the uppland.
@@empressche333 thank you for the recommendation. 😀
Oh my gosh. Thank you. I think you’re my life saver here.
I had no clue.
Neither did I! It is truly the best lil work around to get the sofa you dreamed of.
Duuude your daughter is so adorable
Aww thank you so much! We’re pretty obsessed with her 🥰
Amazing tip on getting the couch from ikea without the cover- thank you.
Emily the baby is darling ! I love the couch ! So exciting
Omg amaaazing!! Thank you so much for sharing coz I had no clue! ❤
Genius! Thank you! It seemed such a waste to buy a sofa only to throw away the cover (or stash it in a cupboard forever) but I don't have to. Thank you :)
Glad I could help! I feel the same way. Why get a cover you dont like never mind, never want to see lol Enjoy!
I literally have the same couch with the green velvet… don’t love how linty it gets! What color/fabric is the slipcover you ordered? Love it!
Also what other colors would you have chosen if it wasn’t for the linen natural color?
Thanks!!!
Hi there and thanks for watching! We picked pure linen natural and love love love it! My other closest choice was the “every day linen cream”, it is whiter and beautiful as well. Comfort chenille cream, performance weave cream are my other picks as well! Definitely send comfort works an email and they will for sure help you out with any questions you have! You will be over the moon with your new slip cover.
Hi! I want to do exactly what you did. Just curious, do you still love your sofa? Anything you'd do differently if you could do it all again?
I love it! Both the covers and the couch have held up in quality and comfort. We just washed our covers the other day and any little dirt spot came right out and now fits even better than before! Couch is really cozy as well. Deepish which we like. I recommend!

Thank you! Hope it helps you out with future ikea items!
Are the cushions down filled? They look like. love the cover so much, great choice mama!!!!
Hi! I’m almost 100% sure they are not down filled. Most likely whatever ikea normally uses (foam). Very cozy tho surprisingly! The fabric helps make them that much softer as well.
They fooled me! Haha, they have that high-end, overstuffed look like a down filled cushion! Amazing score! 💚
Love it! The couch looks beautiful ☺️
Thank you! I agree!!!!
I love that sofa as well what a game changer! Thanks for the research!!
You bet! Thanks for watching!
SO glad I ran into this video!! Thank you so much for sharing!
You are so welcome! Hope it helps you find the right comfort works slip!
Awesome! And no, I didn’t know about the ikea hack! Thanks for the tip!!
It’s a great tip to have! Wish I knew about it sooner haha
concerned about the customs fee. I assuming its around $40 but who knows these days. Also does it come to my door, and do I have to pay customs fee then? on the website for comfortworks it says call your local customs department. Thats like calling the DMV in 1985
Thanks for this tip! I will definitely consider this when I purchase my new sofa. A reminder though the reason why the IKEA slipcovers are more expensive is probably because they are made with more durable furniture fabrics and with certain safety standards to be fire retardent and to not stain as easuly .

Did I miss the cost breakdown? How much was the sofa? How much was the custom cover? Thanks
Hi there! The sofa with no slip from ikea is around $450 and the comfort works slips that i got were $430 ish. Cheaper than the green slip in the video from ikea.
that hack tho'...I have two of their sofas...will remember this next time!
Yes! It's a game changer!
thank you so much! had no idea the cover itself was so expensive!
It was a shock to me as well!
This is amazing! Thanks so much for sharing this!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi Solace! Nothing so far to be honest. They are holding up really nice with our boys running and jumping all over them. The main cushion slides over time and we adjust it but it doesn't show any imperfections thus far. We truly love them! Highly recommend comfort works.
is this ikea hallarp beige?:)
This video made my entire day!!!! Thank you for the tips and advice :)
Glad I could help! Its such a useful tip!
Oh my gosh - you have the cutest baby! ☺️
I have the Farlov also. I ordered from BEMZ. Mine is linen too. I love it.
Its so nice! We love it.
Question: is there a trick to get that luxurious over-stuffed look? Both the seat cushion and back cushions look so full. Did you IKEA hack by adding more batting or anything, or some special fluffing technique? Or maybe you're is just new than mine... 😬
Hi! No hack here with the cushions. We just got this back in December so they still are fresh. Even now after these couple months they are still holding up for us personally. 🤷🏼♀️
Life changing - Thank you!!!
Wow. Thanks for the information!
This is FANTASTIC!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you for watching!
Just ordered my sample pack! So funny I LOVE my Pottery Barn couch! it is everything to me however I have been wanting to recover it since I moved to the Florida Keys; it is a blue slate color and that just don’t drive down here lol … and if we know anything about Pottery Barn you might as well buy another couch because it’s gonna cost the same amount as a the darn slipcover 😉
❤️❤️❤️❤️thank you for the suggestion I can’t wait to get the samples and then my cover you’re the best! I love your channel thanks momma!!
Ps Im thinking about pink!!
how long did it take to get samples? Wondering the import fees on east coast
@@tammygillettVictoryGarden was pretty fast! Within a week😀
I have the same couch with the white cover and is amazing.Have no little kids and this is my formal living room, I will going to to look to this company. Amazing Emily I did not save the 500 dollars but is amazing!!!!!!
That is awesome! It helps having less traffic in the house haha. Thanks for watching!
This was a great hack!! I had no idea, thanks for sharing! The music in this video was a bit loud over you talking, so just a bit distracting.
Dang I just bought a new couch! I wish I knew about this company a few months ago but good to know now!
If you bought it from ikea you do have 365 days to return it. They might exchange the slip by it self but you would have to contact them about that. Thanks for watching!
Is it made a bit bigger for shrinking? Does linen shrink at all?
Never fully dry Linen. It shrinks horribly. We dry, on low heat, to about 50% dry, then put covers on and allow to air dry, before placing cushions. This gives the material a slight bit of stretch and the extra bonus of no ironing! Of course, you have to pull wrinkles out and smooth fabric.
Doesn't work for Sunrise, Fl. Bummer :( I'm going to call them and ask them to do it over the phone. Thank you for the tip!
Wow lovely tip! I'm about to buy the Farlov sofa bed, hate the velvet cover it comes with in my country & planned to make my own in denim (to fit with my room design, I'm a seamstress anyway 😉).
Hope I'm able to buy without the cover here in Croatia and save a few quid, ty for the tips!
