To convert the sleeper sofa into a bed, just remove the back cushions and pull the underframe out and up into place. Like all IKEA furniture, there is assembly required at home, but with this sofa, you have the opportunity to customize the piece while building it: You can choose which side you'd prefer to put the chaise (you can always reverse it later). Online reviewers and a Textiles Lab analyst who have used this couch share that the material, although soft, is prone to pilling.

Online reviewers found sofa setup to be much easier than expected and loved the olefin fabric, sharing that it's easy to clean and "feels great." If you don't love a traditional woven material, you can choose a velvet or leather sofa instead.
