IKEA never stops surprising us with increasingly daring and daring designs, and the new sofa that just appeared on its website is causing a stir among its American fans. This is the FRIDHULT sleeper sofa, in its well-known patented yellow that the Swedish brand has called “Skiftebo”.
At first glance, it looks like a very comfortable sofa with two pillows and a linear upholstery that gives it an elegance and presence that would become a central point of any decorative set, but it hides a secret that will change everything.
The FRIDHULT Sofa Bed From IKEA — Great Design for Small Spaces
It is designed to use little space, but at the same time it looks like a transformer which becomes a sleeping surface. For those who live in a small space, every well-used square foot is pure gold. With a simple movement, the IKEA FRIDHULT transforms into a bed to take a nap or give a night to chat to a friend who has nowhere to spend the night.
I don’t know if you will find a similar alternative to the FRIDHULT sleeper sofa, in other competitors such as Walmart or Target, because the quality of IKEA furniture is usually unmatched, so the arrival of this sofa bed in stores throughout the United States could create a real price war. .
It was already seen in IKEA locations in countries such as Sweden, Spain or France, and came to compete with the ÄLVDALEN sofa bed itself, also from the same brand. The difference between the FRIDHULT is the measurements, because the latter is much more adaptable to smaller spaces, and for a much more affordable price: the ÄLVDALEN is priced at $449, while the FRIDHULT is being launched for $299.
Suitable for All Kind of Spaces at Home
There are all kinds of divided opinions, as some say it is perfect to place in bedrooms or living rooms, and use it for afternoon naps or to entertain guests, but others recommend placing at least a mattress on top because the cushions themselves are not enough to support the weight of a body.
A client remembered a version of an IKEA piece of furniture from the 80s, but the FRIDHULT was much better structured, more “adult”, and larger. “It is very easy to assemble and convert into a bed. The only downside for me is that when it folds down to become a bed, there is no padding in the seat frame area of the sofa,” adds a customer named Andrea in her review of the product.
FRIDHULT by IKEA, the Perfect Sleeper Sofa at the Perfect Price
Part of its new furniture proposals, IKEA launches the FRIDHULT sleeper sofa priced at only $299, and it is available in all stores in the United States and, if it is not in your nearest location, you can have it sent to you through the delivery network, that provides delivery to the entire country.
It is without a doubt one of the most practical sofa bed designs from IKEA, which has launched others that are much more rational and simplistic (and not at all ostentatious) such as the LYCKSELE LÖVÅS, or the NYHAMN, which for some reason have been bestsellers at despite their prices of $549 and $449.
Other options available in North American stores are the classic and safe BALKARP sleeper sofa or the three-section FRIHETEN sleeper sofa.
