I was shocked earlier this year when I heard rumors IKEA was discontinuing the Ektorp sofa bed model. The Ektorp sleeper sofa was one of the first pieces of IKEA furniture I ever had, and I loved it dearly. Oh I'm having flashbacks to the teeny, tiny studio I had while living abroad...loved that white slipcover.
At first I assumed IKEA wasn't going to take it away for good. I mean how can they discontinue anything in the iconic Ektorp line? I thought the sofa bed model & its slipcovers were just being redesigned and in a few months they would make a quiet, yet triumphant return with maybe new SKU numbers. My theory was dashed when @DesignByIKEA responded to my questioning tweet with "Unfortunately, it has been discontinued. Sorry!"
So it's true. And sadly as many of us have experienced before, once IKEA stops making a sofa they also stop selling the slipcovers. Well never fear if you have an Ektorp sleeper sofa and are in need of a new slipcover. We've got them!
We are making covers for the Ektorp sofa bed in over 30 fabric options. In stock covers ship in 2-3 business days. If the slipcover you like is not in stock, then we can make you one and have it ready to ship in 4 weeks!
