The modern furniture market offers a wide range of products. Manufacturers are trying to attract people, so they create products that suit any needs. The sofas offered by the Swedish company Ikea have long won the trust of consumers. This type of upholstered furniture comes in a wide variety. Branded products are loved by consumers due to their quality and affordability.

Materials are the key to durability and practicality

Aesthetic appearance, durability and practicality are the main qualities that buyers pay attention to when choosing the best sofas at IKEA.

For the production of upholstered furniture, the IKEA brand uses exclusively durable, practical, wear-resistant materials:

for the frame - metal, wood (mainly solid pine, birch), chipboard;
for other structural elements (backrests, armrests) - wood, metal;
for upholstery - textiles (polyester, polypropylene, silk, cotton, linen, velvet) and treated eco-leather;
for filler - hollow polyester fiber, polyester wadding, non-woven polypropylene, non-woven polyester, polyurethane foam.

Do not forget that the IKEA sofa cover reliably protects the furniture from dirt and retains the attractive appearance of the original cover for a long time.

Materials

The Ikea Bedinge sofa is made of quality materials. A fairly long service life (up to 10 years) is direct proof of this. If you handle the furniture with care, the product will last even longer.

The frame is metal, coated with epoxy/polyester powder. The shock absorption effect is created by inserted plywood slats (lamellas). They are relatively fragile, so you should refrain from jumping or moving too quickly on the sofa.

The mattress is fabric, made of 79% cotton and 21% polyester. There are several layers, one of which is orthopedic, following the contours of the body and ensuring the correct position of the spine during sleep. Such mattresses are recommended for anyone who has problems with the musculoskeletal system or to prevent them. The covers themselves can be safely machine washed and dry cleaned.

The padding is made of non-woven polypropylene and synthetic wool. Artificial additives increase the wear resistance of the product. In this case, there is also resistance to bending and abrasion, and hypoallergenicity. Upon tactile contact, the sensations are similar to cotton materials.

The accessories include soft, elastic zippers and strong, durable Velcro.

The frame of the laundry box is made of particle board (chipboard), plastic and melamine. Its bottom is made of wood fiberboard (DFB), and it is additionally coated with acrylic paint. The design is quite strong, reliable, and can withstand a good load - 2-3 pillows, 2 blankets and linen.

Structural elements

As already mentioned, the manufacturer does not impose the complete set. The client has the right to take only the necessary parts. When selecting components, you need to be guided by the indicated warehouse department numbers.

The standard assembly of a sofa is a mattress, frame, cover. If desired, you can take a special box for linen and 2 pillows for the armrests (also in covers).

Characteristics of components:

A sofa mattress can be of different thicknesses and densities. Thin and budget ones wear out quickly. If the operation is frequent, then it is advisable to select thicker and more expensive models. You can choose from three modifications: foam rubber latex, of medium quality - Hovet (soft), the highest quality and most expensive - Walla (two-layer, medium hard), cheap and quickly deteriorating - Levos (12 cm, single layer, hard).
The frame is moderately durable. It is easy to assemble and not heavy.
The covers are easily removed and interchangeable. They can be dry cleaned or washed in a washing machine. They are presented in the following colors: white, brown, blue, beige, burgundy, red, green, gray, purple, black. You can select several options and change them periodically.
Pillows are additional elements that serve as armrests; their covers can also be easily removed. You can buy a sofa without them.
A box without a lid is installed under the base of the sofa. It is not attached, but simply placed below, taking up all the space there. If necessary, it can be removed to another place. Bed linen, blankets and pillows are usually stored in it, but this is not important.

The built-in drawer does not have a lid, which means that the laundry will not be protected from dust. Accordingly, it is not suitable for long-term storage of things.

A sales consultant will help you assemble the complete set. When choosing components, you should pay attention to the size and color of the product. You can verify the availability of a particular item by phone or online.
