EKTORP Sofa with Chaise Lounge Cover

This guide provides instructions for fitting the EKTORP sofa cover with chaise lounge. Please follow these steps carefully for a proper fit.

General Information and Care

Before you begin, ensure you have the correct cover for your EKTORP sofa with chaise lounge. Check the product label for specific care instructions. The cover may require ironing before fitting for best results.

Ironing Instructions:

Place the cover on an ironing board.
Use a medium heat setting for ironing.
Ensure the cover is smooth and wrinkle-free.

[Information icon]: Always check the care label on the cover for specific washing and ironing instructions. Some materials may not be suitable for high heat or machine washing.

Step 1: Fitting the Main Sofa Cover

Begin by carefully placing the main sofa cover over the EKTORP sofa frame. Ensure the seams align with the sofa's structure. Pull the cover down evenly over the arms and back.

[Information icon]: Pay attention to the orientation of the cover. Some covers have specific left or right sides.

[Cross mark icon]: Avoid stretching the fabric excessively or pulling too hard on the seams, as this could cause damage.

[Two times icon]: Secure the cover by tucking any excess fabric into the crevices of the sofa frame. This may require adjusting and smoothing the fabric.

Step 2: Fitting the Chaise Lounge Cover

Next, fit the cover for the chaise lounge section. This often involves a separate piece or a section of the main cover designed to wrap around the chaise.

[Information icon]: Ensure the chaise lounge cover is aligned correctly with the chaise unit. Look for any specific attachment points or seams.

[Cross mark icon]: Do not force the cover. If it seems too tight or doesn't fit, re-adjust the main sofa cover.

[Arrow icon]: Gently pull and smooth the fabric to ensure it covers the chaise lounge completely and evenly.

Step 3: Securing the Covers

Once the covers are in place, secure them using the provided fasteners. These may include Velcro straps, elastic bands, or ties.

[Zipper icon]: If your cover has zippers, carefully zip them up along the edges. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.

[Arrows pointing inwards icon]: Tuck in any remaining loose fabric to create a neat and tidy appearance.

Step 4: Attaching Cushions and Final Adjustments

Place the seat and back cushions onto the sofa. Ensure they fit snugly within the cover.

[Information icon]: Some covers may have additional straps or Velcro to secure the cushions in place.

[Cross mark icon]: Ensure no sharp objects are used that could puncture the fabric or the sofa frame.

[Two times icon]: Adjust the cushions and the cover as needed to achieve a smooth, even finish.

Step 5: Final Check

Review the entire sofa to ensure the cover is fitted correctly and all parts are secured. Smooth out any remaining wrinkles.

[Information icon]: If you are having difficulty fitting the cover, refer back to the previous steps or consult the IKEA website for video tutorials.

[Circular arrows icon]: The process may involve a sequence of fitting and adjusting. If the cover does not seem right, it might be necessary to loosen and re-tighten certain areas.
