    By the way, the price of this is generally the same as the one that looks like that in IKEA and another I found on KAVE home - all of them are very similar, but this one is the only one that actually unfolds fully.

    This reminds me of my favourite couch growing up that my parents bought allegedly from Ikea in the 90s. Their was white and had more of a canvas/cotton cover, and the two mattresses were stitched together by the cover so they didn't slide off. The L shaped backrest was secured by straps and these slip buckle type thing. Had plenty of awesome sleepovers on that couch lol.

    I got this sofá back in march and honestly kinda regret it. The mattresses are not comfortable and they’re stretching in the middle like I can see with yours (the top mattress is rounded on the front side). It’s super expensive and I would’ve bought a sofa in ikea for half the price honestly. Or pay the same (2100 euros in Spain with the shipping) for another sofa from a better brand

    Thank you sooo much for the review! Its been so hard to find one online.
    The way i really love the lounge/relaxed vibe that it gives, i literally got it customized with a local welder/carpenter because i can't get it shipped to Rwanda.
    I like that you talked about the metal bars, and I'm wondering if it would make sense (since I'm basically getting it done from scratch) to put another metal bar underneath the mattress at the bottom to connect the others, to avoid each sliding off!
    Either way, looking forward to getting it delivered :)
    Thanks again!

I'll definitely have to go and try this out, we have no guest room so comfy convertable furniture is essential.

    @FritzyFreak 3 місяці тому

    I know this is going to sound crazy but I was thinking of getting this as a bed to replace my own. I don’t know if it’s a good or bad idea but I’m thinking about it. It’s so cozy and I do like it’s a mattress itself which to me adds to it being healthy for my back. The hard foam is kinda scary but I feel like a pillow top mattress topper would make this so much better!!! It just seems like a two in one sorta thing so if I move around it’s not to hard to bring with me in the sense of packing a normal bed and it’s frame. This was so well done, you have very great editing skills! Hope you have a nice day!!

    It's been eating away at me, but I am curious to know if you are a designer. There are so many of your videos that tie back into my graphic design coursework/lectures. It's the way you speak about your process, eye for color, etc that led me to that theory lol.
    As for this couch, it really shows how big the "minor" details really can make a big difference. Lounging on the couch shouldn't make anyone hyper-aware that they're going to make something slide out of place!

    Great review, so thorough! I’m not buying this sofa since I actually have its vintage ancestor, by De Sede (alas I got mine when they were unwanted and inexpensive at auction and now they’re $$$$). It has a very similar design but the cushions are sewn together and fold out, and each section is twin-sized. Really solves the design issues you highlight but the open form is not intended to be left that way, the undersides have different fabric. Win some, lose some?
    Question: I LOVE your wall bookcase, who makes it? It’s so sleek.

      thanks for sharing that designer. its interesting seeing the original references! the shelves are the ikea boaxel system.

    For that price i can get 2 matresses, big pillows, fabric, foam, a seamstress to sew all together and have enough money left for a rug, coffee table, bedside tables, more pillows and a blanket

      u said you had ‘one like it with no metal bars’ so my comment addressed the possibility that perhaps current brands have taken those factors into consideration when designing and picking materials.

    I've also seen relentless ads for this sofa I quite like. HOWEVER. My concern is mold/mildew underneath, like I've seen a lot of futons and mattresses on the floor suffer from. I'm too lazy to be airing things out all the time.
    But putting it on a base is even more money.
    Maybe its made for drier climates.
    I used to have a 80s hand me down fold out foam sofa bed that I guess was kind of similar (we had it on a base most of the time when it was a sofa) Incredibly comfy, just ugly. But the two mattresses were joined together with velcro, as they'd kind of scoot apart in the night and you'd fall down the gap.
