IKEA'S CHEAPEST FUTON...ABSOLUTE GARBAGE

  • This is the cheapest futon from IKEA, the Hammarn. I found many problems with this IKEA futon. The biggest problem I had with it was the comfortability. The cushion wasn't thick enough to create a comfortable experience, at least by my standards. While sitting on the Hammarn you can feel the metal frame when leaning on the back rest. On the positive side, the futon can be turned into a bed and to be honest, it's not that bad of an experience when lying down. Again, the main problem is the cushion but you can't expect much when buying it at this price point. This IKEA futon is not sold in America but is sold in other various countries.

    I have this in my home office as a reading couch and emergency bed when family come over. It’s brilliant! Like someone said all the issues you mentioned, while true, are easily solved with some throws and cushions for extra padding. You can’t see the sofa for how dressed up we have it. We also stick a blow up mattress on it when using it as a bed which makes it rival any actual bed. If you have all those components already then this is a great deal

    Man, it's designed for small spaces, and it's the cheapest sofa ever! It's so deep to be decorated by cushions and another thin mattress to your taste and budget. It's rediculous to compare it to other more expensive items. I've got beddinge and lixele sofa-beds at home, and i also have to buy extra cushions and top matrases for them to meet my needs. I saw it in Sweden and it's awesome for tiny spaces and when you're on a tough budget. I wish it was sold in Russia...

      @@armink9686 hi Armin - I have enough space for the bed in my room if I move a few furnitures, which is no problem if someone is staying overnight at my place. However, normally I want to have my furniture at its place. To paint a clearer picture, I have a small table in the middle of my room, in front of the sofa. I use the sofa normally and can move the table and other things around it to make space for the sofa bed.

    That's the first thing I notice when I see this product... the deep seat... throw in two 55cm by 55cm throw pillows as a backrest (doubles as decor too) ... can probably be purchased at less then USD20 each (the throw pillows)... take away the throw pillows and u can snug feet up or crossed legged with ample space on the 'couch'...

    Sofa can be made more comfortable with some pillows as a backrest and it could give a nice look to it as well. But the bed...it is definitely not for me. Even my cat could not stand the bed's movement as i was tossing and turning so he left and chose something more suitable for sleeping.

    I have one and it's okay for a sofa if you add cushions but as a bed it's terrible. I can feel the frame digging into my back. You'd have to buy a thick mattress and use it with it to get any decent sleep on it.

      What are you talking about? Even if you pay $130 for a futon it should still be functional. He said he was 6' tall, and the couch was still too deep for people to sit on with back support. Who wants to sit on a couch with no back support. Then he shows how flimsy the cushion is. It looks like a prison mat in my opinion. Foam is VERY cheap and IKEA could have easily included lots of foam in the mat to make it comfortable. So, you have a couch with no cushion support (because they didn't put enough foam) and no back support (because they made it too deep). That equals garbage!

      That's an interesting point. I have been considering it as my apartment is very small, but while the too thin mattress and too deep sitting are quite fixable that is more of an issue. On the other hand I would not be using it as a bed except for guests, it would mostly be used as a sofa. What I have now is a fairly cheap chair bed which is uncomfortably narrow as a bed and I'd like a sofa, even if all I can fit in the place would be something about hammarn's size.

    it IS garbage. it’s very cheap and while it’s okay for the price, it is not a good piece of furniture if you like comfortable sofas or beds. we added cushions, mattress toppers, mattress in bed form, and it still sucks. it’s my least favourite piece of furniture in the house and i love sofas, but this hardly gets used because it’s so uncomfortable. dunno why there’s so many people simping for IKEA budget furniture.
    one of the metal fittings cut my bloody leg one night, and you can feel the metal and the hard board ALL THE TIME, even with a mattress topper. it SUCKS. if you value comfort but are on a budget, pay an extra 40€ for a better budget sofa bed

      When I sleep, I tend to move around and like a bit of space. People are different shapes/sizes and if two people are on the larger side, I think it would be too tight of a fit to sleep comfortably. That's why I gave the measurement of 47.5 inches so the audience can see if that measurement works for their body types.
