Minimalism in the interior is held in special esteem today. Designers do not recommend furnishing a room with bulky furniture, nor cluttering it with unnecessary non-functional elements. Against this background, ergonomic, compact and laconicly designed products are in high demand. The Ikea chair-bed fully corresponds to these characteristics - it will be appropriate for decorating both the living room and the bedroom. Such a mini-sofa will free up space without sacrificing comfort; in addition, it will be a real boon for people who do not yet have their own home, so they are forced to move from place to place.
Advantages of chair beds at IKEA
IKEA specialists care about product safety, so there is no need to worry about the possibility of allergies. Only certified materials are used for furniture production.
The main advantages of chairs and beds from the IKEA catalog are:
- Availability. Most models are designed for people with average incomes. This pricing is characterized by the fact that the Swedish company organizes paid delivery from a certain purchase amount and does not place a large number of consultants in the halls.
- Simplicity of design. All models must be assembled yourself, so they are made as easy as possible to assemble. Schemes are included with purchase.
- The design of the chair-bed model is made of strong steel with a special powder coating, which ensures the reliability and lightness of the frame.
- The base is orthopedic, maintaining elasticity for a long time.
- The mattress filling is usually polyurethane foam and latex.
- All covers on the models are removable and are 78 percent cotton. The fabric is wash-resistant and designed to withstand multiple use.
- The catalog offers covers for sale separately in different sizes and colors, which allows you to change the interior or replace the old cover at any time.
- Folding chairs are made in a minimalist style (with the exception of one collection).
Review of all models from the catalog
There are not many similar chairs in Ikea's assortment. But thanks to their neutral design, they will suit almost any interior. There are only three models in the series “Vattviken” (new for summer 2019), “Vallentuna”, “Lycksele”. The latter option is available in three variations, differing only in the characteristics of the mattress.
We’ll start the review with the most inexpensive ones and continue in ascending order of price.
Pay attention to the notes on each model, highlighted in color: these are the features that distinguish a particular chair from others.
Lycksele Lövos
The most budget option of all presented in the catalog.
It has a clamshell-type mechanism called an “accordion”.
Suitable for everyday sleep.
Watch how to unfold the Lycksele chair in the video:
The price starts from 8,999 rubles.
The cost of Lycksele models depends on the choice of cover design.
Identical in appearance and mechanism to the Murbo and Hovet models, it is inferior only in mattress density - 28 kg/cub.m. This is not critical, considering that in most similar models of chair-beds from other manufacturers on the market, this parameter starts from 25 kg/cub.m.
The density of polyurethane foam in a mattress indicates its rigidity and elasticity and, as a result, comfort and wear resistance.
Sold with a removable cover that can be machine washed at 40 0 .

Features of Ikea folding models
A distinctive feature of Ikea chair-beds is the ease of transforming the seat into a sleeping place. The reliable mechanism eliminates the need for any kind of force and works properly even during everyday use. This is why Ikea products are often purchased for children's rooms: during the day there will be enough space for games, and in the evening the child can easily make a comfortable bed on his own.
Folding chairs are characterized by low weight and can be equipped with wheels, which makes them easier to move around the apartment.
Despite its compact dimensions, ideal for small rooms, after transformation the furniture becomes comfortable and spacious. This is due to a specific design that allows you to fold the berth, making it the back of the chair. Moreover, some models can provide two seats and transform into one-and-a-half beds or sofas.
Ikea folding chairs are durable and can last for several decades. They are made of environmentally friendly materials, have an orthopedic design - sleep becomes as comfortable as possible, and the beds themselves are suitable for people with disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
One of the main advantages of Ikea products is universal design. The range consists of models of various colors and styles that can fit into the interior of any apartment, studio or country house. There are removable covers on sale that are easy to wash and allow you to maintain the presentable appearance of the upholstery. In addition, they make it possible to easily change not only the appearance of the furniture, but also to place the necessary accents in the interior of the room. If necessary, you can select a mattress separately for each model. Another advantage is the pleasant price - even taking into account the purchase of additional components, the total amount will remain affordable for most average Russian families.
