I love ikea but I’ve had a Vimle sofa just like this for 3 years and it is not holding up at all. Fabric tears, the chaise bottom box fell out and the chaise top doesn’t line up properly, and the cushions feel so flat
We have the same sofa (same color) for 2 years now and I’m still in love with it 🥰 I was also a bit worried for how long will it stay clean with a kid and a doggie in the house but because of the color it’s perfect for spot cleaning and it doesn’t fade 🥰 I think I took the covers off 2-3x to machine washed them. And yes, even after two years the pillows kept the original shape 👌🏻 The only issue we had with it so far is with the storage box (there was some issue with opening and keeping it up) but we managed to fix it. Apart from that it was really a good bargain 👌🏻
Ah it’s great to hear how it’s been holding up for you even 2 years after. Definitely a bargain for the quality. Oh we haven’t had an issue with the storage part so far, but that’s good to know. Thank you so much for sharing 🤗
I just ordered the new updated Finnala version of this in the Gunnared Beige. Do the covers soften up over time? I'm so excited to get it and your video is so helpful!
Thank you very much for this review. I just ordered one myself but mine is a smaller variant, which is a great aspect as well because you can really customize this sofa whenever you need to. Cant wait to sit and chill on it 😄
I'm curious about the cushions. Do they not slide after sitting for a while? I'm asking because I have a sofa similar this and after 20 minutes of sitting on them the cushions slide out. Thanks in advance
Would love to see a follow up review on it 😊still can’t decide between farlov and vimle. Shortages with covid so vimle seems to be the only option. Thank you
@@fionagormley2713 Hello. I ended up getting the hallarp beige and I’m loving it so far. Love the color and I’m happy I chose this color. It is more of a creamy/beige color. I had seen it in store but i was having doubts but I’m glad I stuck with this color. The quality is good. Quite comfortable. Not sure what the wear and tear will be like after a while as I’ve only had it for a few weeks and I’ve always been skeptical about ikea furniture. I hope it doesn’t sink in like some couches do after some time. Hope this helps.
Hi Sherry, it's a mix of cotton and other fabrics. You could probably see exactly what the fabric is made of on their website. Thank you for watching 💛
The storage option is brilliant! Have you washed the cusion covers yet? I have a similar sofa from West Elm and I'm worried I will shrink the covers if I wash them or put them in the drier more likely lol : ) x Shaz
Hi :) just came across your video. Great review btw :) i know this is very random but do you mind telling me where are your chair coussins from? The ones that were in the storage part of the sofa. Thank you very much :)
Hey lovely! The cushions have held up their shape really well so far. You can see what they currently look like in any of my more recent cleaning videos 😊 Thank you so much for watching 💛

I've had mine for 4 years and it's holding on nicely. I have washed the fabric in the washer maybe 3-4 times and it looks the same! Great sofa!
Great review thanks, but sorry no, you didnt pay that and even less in the UK, maybe just for the 2 seat but the entire piece you show there is over 1000. Is not precisely one of the cheapest IKEA sofas

How difficult/time consuming is it to remove the covers from the whole sofa?
does it look loosen now? I keep seeing couch reviews where ikea cushion
covers seem to loosen and look saggy.
hey can the chaise lounge attached on the right side
Yes
I just ordered the new updated Finnala version of this in the Gunnared Beige. Do the covers soften up over time? I'm so excited to get it and your video is so helpful!
I didn’t know this sofa existed, it’s lovely. Thank you for enlightening me.
Glad you found it helpful. We love it 💛
Can you give me the link please. Thank u
I have the same sofa in grey but my cat destroyed some parts. How can I change the big storage part I need to wash it.
How did you buy one that is so white?
IKEAs furniture is so good and affordable,thanks for sharing this one
Does anyone know where I can buy the whole replacement cover? I can only find for armchair and sittings 😢
On etsy they do custom colour and lot of fabric choices. 😊
Thank you very much for this review. I just ordered one myself but mine is a smaller variant, which is a great aspect as well because you can really customize this sofa whenever you need to. Cant wait to sit and chill on it 😄
What's the name of sofa you got please as I might get from IKEA this week. From UK
Thank you for the information, wasn't sure if I should buy this model, however seeing your posters, I think it's a sign. Greetings from Sighisoara.
Aw yay, so glad to hear from someone in Sighisoara 💛 Thank you for watching 🤗
We just bought the Finnala. What is the difference in the two? It is very hard.
I'm curious about the cushions. Do they not slide after sitting for a while? I'm asking because I have a sofa similar this and after 20 minutes of sitting on them the cushions slide out. Thanks in advance
Nope, they don't slide out :) x
Interesting...any reason that your sofa's armrests do not match? One is the normal sized one and the other is the wide arm rest one.
They’re exactly the same size 😊
I wish i could have seen how they hook together.
Is this more grey or beige?
What color is the cover on your couch?? I only see a medium gray online and really want the light grey you have
Ours is the Gunnared Beige colour 💛
Did the name change too? Could you send a link for me 🙂
Hi dear I watched your channel today I watched your video about your son's head surgery I want to ask you how is he doing now plz tell me
where is your coffee table from? love it
It’s from IKEA too 💛
Can the chaise be put on the other side?
Great review. Can't wait to purchase it. Currently out of stock in our location. Ikea said they having trouble to stock it up due to slow supply
Ah I can imagine there’s lots of stock issues these days. I hope you can get yours soon. Glad you found this helpful 😊
You have to keep checking the site daily. Once they restock they sell out really fast!
Is this available in the US,
@@babyg7796 it’s called the finnala sofa now.
@@babyg7796 Yep, it's now called Finnala on the US website :)
Hi,
Thank you for the video. Is it sofa bed ? I got confused because I saw the same on the website with a bed.
Thank you
Hi! Ours isn't a sofa bed, but maybe you can get that version on their website too x
Would love to see a follow up review on it 😊still can’t decide between farlov and vimle. Shortages with covid so vimle seems to be the only option. Thank you
Oh I might do an update at some point, but we’re still loving it so far 🤗 Thank you for watching!
Hi I can not decide between this colour and hallaarp beige dose it look like grey at all?as I dont like grey
@@neg63 Hey. I’m also debating between those two colors. Any insights?
Hi there I’m looking to get the Hallarp Beige but I haven’t seen any reviews or in store . Have you seen it , if so,what’s the quality like.

Hi , can someone give me the link of the sofas ??
Great little sofa
What’s the size?
Are you able to put the chaise on either side?
Yes, I’m pretty sure they have that option as well 🤗
The storage option is brilliant! Have you washed the cusion covers yet? I have a similar sofa from West Elm and I'm worried I will shrink the covers if I wash them or put them in the drier more likely lol : ) x Shaz
Yes, but I don’t put them in the dryer. I’m pretty sure they would shrink in my drier, haha. But washing is fine 💛
@@madelinehegedus Ok that's good to know! I would definetley shrink them in my drier lol x
I’ve washed the west elm ones many times and they haven’t shrunk. I’ve air dried and put them in the dryer accidentally and all was good.
@@KatGlo Good to know, thank you : )
Hi :) just came across your video. Great review btw :) i know this is very random but do you mind telling me where are your chair coussins from? The ones that were in the storage part of the sofa. Thank you very much :)
Thank you so much for watching. The cushions were from IKEA too 💛
WOw US price is now 2k for the sleeper size which it looks like you have b/c its so big

Yeees, love the storage space. Thank you for watching 💛
Where is your coffee table from?

PERFECT!!
Hey Madeline, I'm wondering if after all these months, is it still holding up well? Any issues with cushions flattening or sagging?
Hey lovely! The cushions have held up their shape really well so far. You can see what they currently look like in any of my more recent cleaning videos 😊 Thank you so much for watching 💛
I've had mine for 4 years and it's holding on nicely. I have washed the fabric in the washer maybe 3-4 times and it looks the same! Great sofa!
Thank you for the review, current price is £999
1599 in 2025)
Hello Madeline,
great video! Have you ever ironed them? I have the sofa for a few days and as soon as a person sits down it wrinkles very much..
Hi , I have the same impression so would like to hear any insights from this group
Great tips 👌💛 thanks for share 🙏💛☀️
Ah thank you so much for watching 🤗
Does it come with the cushions or you have to buy separately
Hi, thanks for the review! Can I also ask what paint color/brand is in the room, please?
Glad you found it helpful! Not sure about the paint unfortunately, as it was like this when we moved in. Thank you for watching 💛
After 3 years, is he still in good shape?
Yes, it is :)
Such a nice couch! Are the covers waterproof??
They're not waterproof, but you can easily clean them or take them off and pop in the washing machine :)
No link for IKEA furniture
Me watching this after 3 years(06/2024) at £1350 😭
It’s always out of stock I’m my ikea 😭😭😭
Hello madelina home.💟 perfect
Great review thanks, but sorry no, you didnt pay that and even less in the UK, maybe just for the 2 seat but the entire piece you show there is over 1000. Is not precisely one of the cheapest IKEA sofas
Our exact sofa was 799, that's in british pounds. Thank you for watching 😊
Imagine telling people that bought something that I know better what they paid 😂
@@Optora. ikr... arrogance
unfortunately video is not really helpful. You only see Madeline. Basically you never see the sofa for a second for entire video
Hi dear how do you remover the armrest cover? I can't figure it out..
