I have this couch and wash the covers in 60 deg and tumble dry them ( many times ) they still all look great and i bought it secondhand too.. not a squishy couch but so comfy .

If you have to dry them inside, for whatever reason, hang them on a shower rod put a fan on them full blast. Make sure your bathroom exhaust fan is on so there is someplace for the water vapors to go instead of making mold grow in your shower or whatever...

if u remove all pillows, even those for back support, its a decent bed too. That is on the plus side ofc

Yes! It is wide enough to sleep on very easily! Just make sure your hips are not on the edge of a seat. 😊

I always love the style aesthetic of the soderhamn....informative video! Subscribed!!

Thank you for this in-depth review.. I'm loving the style of the couch but am in two minds if this would be the best choice, especially with an elderly mother who is roughly your height and that has knee issues and finds it hard to get out of seats ..still I can't get over the style of it (for an ikea couch and in its price range).

Thank you so much for watching! It is a great style and price. 😊 I understand your concern for getting up with knee issues. If you have an IKEA near you it might be helpful to take her in to try it out. It does sit pretty low and I would be concerned about the depth of seats too. Although adding pillows does help with that aspect. Hoping you find the perfect couch for you!! 💕

You’ve probably already made up your mind. However with an older person this is the worst couch to get. You need one much higher which is easier for anyone to get out of. This is a young persons lounge. Not for the feint hearted. Not for the elderly!! Your relative will not be able to get out of this couch..!!

Chronicfish: you can buy taller legs - IKEA has a set that looks almost the same as original. Plus other companies make legs - Bemz, Comfort Works etc.

SOLD! sorry I didn't watch your other video this is the one that popped up for 'Soderhamn review' we are about the same height so for me that was very useful. I also have a furbaby so it was nice to see yours walking across on the WHITE option I am not so brave and will choose the grey the cleaning was interesting as I did know they could be detached. thank you for your review

By the way, this was really helpful because I didn't know you could take the cushions completely off the couch to wash them. I thought you had to take the entire cushion off to wash it in an industrial washer. I'm sold.

Can't believe you had son and daughter of that big. You look pretty❤️. By that way thanks for the review.

I have seen this material in this color wrinkle. But the Söderhamn I have seen with the darf material seems not to wrinkle. I have the knee problem with our old couch. it is not deep enough to sit completly on it and not short enough vor me that the knees reach the edge. That is Why I bought this because I use the corner to sit completly on it which is most comfortable for me. I need my couch to chill and I like to really sit there with legs up. Visitors anyway have different hights so one couch will fit this person the other this person. Just add a second Pillow when you want to sit with your knees reaching the front

You could probably use a couple of Velcro straps underneath to connect.

@thecraf-thome1712

Ай бұрын

You could, but I don’t think the covers will hold a lot more cushion inside. You could maybe cut some to lay below the cushion. There are two zippers, one on the front and one on the back. But the middle is essentially open. You’d have to be careful not to compromise the zippers though.

Hi I watched your video it was very clean and point to point information which I liked very great.... I just want to ask about strength or build quality of this couch how would you tell about this point??

Sure! I would be careful about using it until it dried though because it could stretch the fabric and make the wrinkles worse in the long run. Thanks for watching! 😊

Id suggest, instead of investing in a brand new ottoman, looking to see if you can switch out the legs to something shorter!

2 жыл бұрын

I haven’t steamed it honestly. After washing the cushions it has looked perfect, and the wrinkles that come from use are not bad enough for me to mess with it. I usually just smooth it over with my hand. The wrinkles in the rest of the couch have more or less come out on their own. I’m sure steaming would work too, if you are looking for a crisper look. 😊

You have it looking really nice with your scatter cushions. Did you end up getting a better ottoman?

I would measure your space, but since the pieces come in sections you should be able to put a few of them together to fit your living room specifically. That is one of the things I like about it. If/when we move I should be able to make it work in some form or another by switching up the pieces and the arrangement.

It is more comfortable than it looks, but if you want something that you can sink more down into, I’d go with something else. There is a bit of give and cushion, but it’s not something that really “hugs” as you lay on it. I did end up getting different pillows for the back. They are large and down, so we are able to sink into the back now and it makes a big difference. Couch shopping is so hard! Hoping you find your perfect piece soon!! 😊

We haven’t had any issues with scratching, but our cats don’t have front claws, only back ones. They are on the couch all the time, but it is holding up great. The only thing I have noticed is when they walk across the back of the couch, it is a very narrow back and sometimes they slip a bit. When they do they grab with their claws and there is a few snags because of it. Not really noticeable, but figured I would mention it. Hope this helps!

The back pillows are sooo compakt that they hurt may upper back and neck. Do not recomend this couch😢
