IKEA Adds a Hidden Bed to Its Popular Söderhamn Sofa Line
IKEA has introduced a sleeper version of its Söderhamn sofa, maintaining the same sleek design with deep seats and chrome legs. The bed is revealed by pulling a loop under the seat cushions, converting into a queen-size sleeping surface. It is available in two sizes and two beige upholstery options, with prices starting at $1,449.
The new sleeper preserves the original's sleek silhouette, including deep seating and chrome legs. Converting it involves pulling a concealed loop beneath the seat cushions to reveal a queen-sized sleeping surface. It comes in two dimensions—an 89-inch two-seater and a roughly 125-inch four-seater sectional—each currently offered only in two beige fabric choices.
Early customer feedback notes a difficult assembly process and a desire for more color options. Nevertheless, reviewers commend its comfort, with one calling it the best sleeper IKEA offers. The retailer has responded to these comments, suggesting potential future updates to instructions and upholstery choices.
This launch could significantly appeal to urban renters and small-space dwellers prioritizing multifunctional furniture. By offering a stylish, hidden sleeping solution without compromising the sofa's iconic look, IKEA may capture a market seeking both aesthetics and practicality. The limited color options might initially restrict its reach, but if the retailer expands the palette, this sleeper could become a staple in compact living rooms, potentially influencing how manufacturers approach space-saving design.
