Choosing the right sofa cover for your IKEA KIVIK sofa can be confusing. Several KIVIK sofa models look very similar, even though they have different dimensions and configurations. Ordering the wrong size may mean the cover will not fit your sofa properly.
At Lindakale, we offer a range of IKEA KIVIK sofa covers designed for different KIVIK sofa models. The easiest way to start choosing the right cover is to measure your sofa's maximum width and identify its exact configuration.
In this guide, we will explain the different KIVIK sofa sizes, how to identify your sofa model, and what to check before ordering a replacement cover.
What Sizes of KIVIK Sofa Covers Are Available?
IKEA KIVIK sofas are available in several sizes. Some models have the same number of seat cushions but different overall widths, so counting the cushions alone is not enough to identify the correct cover.
Here are the main KIVIK sofa sizes we offer covers for.
1. KIVIK 2-Seat Sofa (Loveseat)
The KIVIK 2-seat sofa, also known as the KIVIK loveseat, is the smaller option for two people.
- Maximum width: 74 3/4 inches (190 cm)
- How to identify it: It is narrower than the KIVIK 3-seat sofa and has two seat cushions.
Choose a cover specifically designed for the KIVIK 2-seat sofa rather than relying on the number of cushions alone.
2. KIVIK 3-Seat Sofa
The KIVIK 3-seat sofa is wider than the 2-seat model. Interestingly, it can also have two seat cushions, which makes it easy to confuse with other KIVIK sofas.
- Maximum width: 89 3/8 inches (227 cm)
- How to identify it: It is wider than the 2-seat sofa but narrower than the KIVIK 3.5-seat sofa.
Before ordering, measure the full width of your sofa and compare it with the dimensions listed for the cover.
3. KIVIK 3.5-Seat Sofa (XL Sofa)
The KIVIK 3.5-seat sofa, also known as the KIVIK XL sofa, is the largest of these three standard sofa models. Like the 3-seat version, it has two seat cushions, but its overall width is greater.
- Maximum width: 98 3/8 inches (250 cm)
- How to identify it: It is wider than both the KIVIK 2-seat and 3-seat sofas.
If your sofa has two seat cushions, do not automatically assume that a 3-seat cover will fit. Check the overall width and select the cover made for your specific model.
How to Choose a KIVIK Sectional Sofa Cover
KIVIK sectional sofas require extra attention because their configurations can look very similar. The number of seats, the presence of a chaise, and the arrangement of the corner sections all affect which cover you need.
1. KIVIK Sectional Sofa with Chaise
If your KIVIK sofa has a chaise, check the total width of the complete sofa configuration before choosing a cover.
We offer covers for two configurations:
KIVIK 3-Seat Sofa with Chaise
- Total width: 110 1/4 inches (280 cm)
KIVIK 4-Seat Sofa with Chaise
- Total width: 125 1/4 inches (318 cm)
Although these two sofas look similar, they have different overall dimensions. Measure the entire sofa, including the chaise configuration, and compare the measurements with the relevant product listing.
Also, make sure the chaise is positioned on the correct side for the cover design you are ordering.
2. KIVIK Corner Sectional Sofa
KIVIK corner sectional sofas can also be difficult to distinguish because their connected sections may look similar at first glance.
We offer covers for two types of KIVIK corner sectional sofas:
KIVIK 4-Seat Corner Sectional Sofa
This configuration has two ends of the same size connected to the corner section.
KIVIK 5-Seat Corner Sectional Sofa
This configuration has ends of different sizes connected to the corner section.
Before ordering a corner sectional cover, check how the sofa sections are arranged. The number of seats and the layout of the connected sections can help you identify the correct configuration.
If you are unsure which model you have, taking a photo of your sofa and comparing it with the product images can help you narrow down the options.
Will a KIVIK Sofa Cover Fit a KIVIK Sofa Bed?
No. Standard KIVIK sofa covers are not interchangeable with KIVIK sofa bed covers.
IKEA has sofa and sofa bed models that can look very similar, but their construction and dimensions may differ.
For example, the KIVIK range includes both standard sofa and sleeper configurations. These may include:
- KIVIK single-seat and single-seat sofa bed models
- KIVIK 3-seat sofa and 3-seat sofa bed models
Even if a standard sofa and a sofa bed have a similar appearance, their covers may not fit each other correctly.
If your KIVIK furniture has a pull-out sleeping mechanism, make sure you identify it as a sofa bed before ordering. Always check the product description for compatibility with your exact model.
How to Measure Your KIVIK Sofa Before Ordering
If you are unsure which KIVIK sofa model you own, measuring it is a helpful first step.
Follow these simple steps:
- Measure the maximum width: Measure from the outermost left side to the outermost right side of the sofa, including the armrests.
- Identify the configuration: Determine whether you have a standard sofa, a sofa with a chaise, or a corner sectional sofa.
- Check the number and arrangement of sections: Look at the seat cushions, chaise, and corner sections to help distinguish between similar models.
- Check whether it is a sofa bed: A sleeper mechanism may indicate that you need a different cover.
- Compare your measurements with the product listing: Select the cover designed for your sofa model rather than choosing by appearance alone.
Measurements are a useful starting point, but they should be checked alongside the sofa's configuration and the cover's compatibility information.
