IKEA Blekinge and Kivik Sofas Experiences

Hello dear ones,

I urgently need your help, it's about the fact that I want to buy an Ikea sofa. (Blekinge and Kivik are my favorites) Unfortunately, I can't find anywhere online how deep the seating area is. I would like a sofa that has relatively deep seats, but for personal reasons I cannot try sitting in the Ikea store myself. Personally, I have experience with the KLIPPAN sofa, which is totally uncomfortable after sitting for a long time.

Thank you very much for your answers!

Hi!

I just bought 2 Blekinge 3-seater sofas.

I really like the seat depth; you can also lie down and take a nap.... Unfortunately, I'm not the slimmest. The Ektorp was too narrow for me. And I have just measured it for you:

From the very front (where the seat cushion slightly overlaps the edge) to the back cushion, I measured 68 cm. When sitting, it might be a bit more because the back actually sinks into the back cushion.

Hello little snail!

Thank you for your quick reply!

Great that you measured it right away.

Will you tell me which cover you chose for the Blekinge? I like the Dansbo medium red or in dark grey, unfortunately I cannot look at the covers on site, that's why I'm asking.

You're welcome!

I have decided on the simple Blekinge white despite having 2 small children because I can wash the cover at 60 degrees.

At home, I mostly have a country house style, and red wouldn't have fit well. I also liked the Tullinge gray-brown. However, according to the label, it can only be dry cleaned. That is simply too expensive for me in the long run.

I can rub off smaller stains directly with baby wipe cloths.
