COMFORT WORKS Custom Karlstad Sofa Slipcover - Premium Replacement Cover for IKEA Karlstad Sofa in Emerald Velvet Fabric | Perfect for Living Room Furniture Protection & Style Upgrade

This does actually fit over a leather Katlstad. I am guessing they do not recommend it because it can be “slippy” and might cause friction damage to the leather beneath. I also have the tufted leather Karlstad so I have to leave the leather cover on because the tufts are sewn through the cushion and cover. If the leather gets badly damaged over time I will likely cut the tufts to remove the leather cover and just use this fabric cover over the foam cushion interior.The back cushions covers are a bit loose, but I can easily fix that with my sewing skills to make a more custom fit to my couch. The seat cushions fit very well. I am likely to add hook & loop or some other fastener to keep the covers secured because they are just an envelope type pocket system and do not have zippers to secure them.I got the Loveseat cover in Grey Linen style and it is a nice tailored look, but the fabric isn’t super sturdy feeling, so time will tell how long this lasts. The main body cover has a thin microfiber feeling fabric on the seat and partway up the back that would be under the cushions. This feels kind of flimsy so it could wear out faster than the rest if you have a lot of movement. The middle of the body cover has a piece of hook and loop that must have a corresponding piece on the body of the fabric upholstered Karlstad that my leather upholstery does not have. This would keep the body cover from sliding much, so you may not need to worry about that if you have the fabric upholstered version of this couch.I have a two-seat couch with chaise add-on configuration. I bought the loveseat stand alone cover to provide configuration options for myself and will probably be buying a chaise cover to use that part alone and cover its attachment holes. I like having options and plan to keep this couch for much longer. It is currently 11 years old and going strong, but I want options and expect there to come a time when these slipcovers will no longer be available and want to be prepared.I had sooo many questions. I’m sure you do as well, so here are all the details.It’s polyester- is it shiny or scratchy?No! It’s actually a really soft matte finish and feels like a very thick cotton/linen blend.Is it fitted?Yes and no. Everything goes on comfortably tight, but these is a bit of wiggle room- which I like. The appearance is similar to a high-end custom-fitted slip cover sofa.No zippers - can you turn the cushions?You can turn both bottom and top cushions- but the top cushions will show a tiny bump where the overlapped Fabric fold ends. (The actual seam on both is at the end - so it’s hidden)Will they lose their shape when you sit in them? They surprising do not sag after sitting - but I’m going to purchase some Velcro tape for a more snug appearance and extras reinforcement.Smell? None.Color? A very soft medium grey with a linen like texture. Very tasteful.Would I buy again? OMG yes!!! I have 2 cats that destroy everything and a teen that is constantly spilling. I was looking at replacement sofas but decided to give these a try first - so glad I did! A fresh, clean look for under $300??? What???? And I can wash them??? Yes please.No sure why the manufacturer has the pics they do. The first pic looks like dark wool and perfectly fitted, and the second 2 pics (on white) makes the cover look like stretchy grey denim that’s faded and way too tight. I’m glad I ignored those pics and took a shot. (If the manufacturer is reading this and wants to send me a few covers - I’ll be glad to take accurate pics;)I must say - these are a steal- you won’t regret this purchase.I bought this for my IKEA Karlstadt sofa that is still in great shape except for major discoloration on the white armrests over the years of having it. This was super easy to put on. I didn't even take off any of the original covers. Not having to disassemble to armrests/sides is fabulous. I haven't washed it yet, so I don't know how it will do because it is a flannel type fabric. But I imagine if it is the only item in the load, it will turn out okay. I tried one of the cheaper stretch style covers before this one, but really, this is so much better. I only wish it came in a white or off white like my original cover, but that's not a big deal.Fabric pills and gets fuzzy after a few months. Would not buy again with this fabric.We have 2 Karlstad sofas and I'm really pleased with these slipcovers. The one piece design of these covers, still have a nice fitted look, but are so much easier than the origional covers, that require you to disassemble the sofa arms, to remove and put on the covers. The fabric is soft and the color is a warm grey and a shade darker, with less pattern, than the the original Ikea Isunda grey covers. It would be nice to have a couple more color options in this basic, lower priced, one piece design.I inherited an old Karlstad and found this cover for it. Was a little loose on the back cushions, but snug on the other cushions. Unlike the more premium version of the Comfort Works, it is a non-zipper, no thrills version of their covers. It survived a move, but it has started to pill on some of the bottom cushions. I don't believe it's the fault of the cover, but the move added some stress to the fabric prematurely. Overall, for the price and quality, it can't be beat.I'm so glad I don't have to take apart the couch to put this on. It slips over the entire frame including the original covers. its not as form fitting as the original but then, its a slip cover. It made my couch look fresh and new. The gray color is on the warm side.Covers fit perfect. Very nice fabric. Great customer service.Je n’ai pas été assez vigilant mais l’annonce est très trompeuse. Housse de couette et non pas canapé
