Assembly Steps
Step 1: Preparing the Sofa Bed
The initial diagrams illustrate the start of the assembly process, showing a person with parts and looking confused, then looking at an IKEA product.
On page 3, a diagram shows the sofa bed frame. A close-up highlights connection points with part numbers: 100831, 105107, 152057, and a rod being inserted into a mechanism.
Several diagrams illustrate fitting a large grey fabric cover onto the sofa bed. This cover is designed to encase the entire sofa bed structure and comes in sections (indicated by '2x').
Step 2: Fitting the Main Sofa Cover
Step 1: Extend the sofa bed mechanism. Drape the main cover over the sofa frame, aligning it carefully. Secure the cover using the integrated straps or ties.
Step 2: Continue pulling the cover down and around the sofa. Tuck the excess fabric neatly under the edges of the sofa base.
Step 3: Zip the cover closed to create a snug fit. The close-up views show the zipper mechanism in detail.
Step 4: Ensure all edges are smooth and tucked in. The close-ups demonstrate how to tuck the fabric securely under the sofa's frame.
Step 3: Securing the Sofa Bed Structure
Step 5: Secure the cover by fastening the straps located on the underside of the sofa bed.
Step 6: Fold the sofa bed back into its sofa configuration. Adjust the cover as needed during this process.
Step 4: Fitting the Backrest Cover
Step 7: Place the separate cover designed for the backrest onto the sofa's back cushions.
Step 8: Secure the backrest cover, likely using similar strap or zipper mechanisms as the main cover. Close-ups show the attachment points.
Step 5: Converting to a Bed
Step 9: Convert the sofa into a bed by extending the hidden mattress sections. Close-ups show how zippers and straps connect these sections.
Step 10: The sofa bed is now fully converted into a flat bed. Ensure the mattress sections are aligned and secured by the straps.
Step 6: Fitting Cushion Covers
Step 11: Prepare the cushion covers. You will need two larger covers (2x) and potentially three smaller covers (3x) for the back cushions.
Step 12: Insert the sofa cushions into their respective covers. Secure the covers, typically by zipping them closed. Close-ups show the zipper operation and smoothing the fabric.
Step 7: Final Adjustments and Support
Step 13: Place the fitted cushions onto the sofa. The 'i' icon indicates the correct placement of cushions.
On page 10, the instructions show inserting four support pieces (4x) into the sofa bed mechanism for added stability when in bed mode. It also shows attaching two support bars (2x) to the backrest area.
Step 8: Sofa Bed Conversion Demonstration
Page 12 features diagrams demonstrating the complete conversion process from a sofa to a bed and back again. Please exercise caution during conversion due to potential pinch points (⚠️).
