not gonna lie, the idea of just deflating my couch the next time i have to move sounds like a wet dream at this point. Nearly threw my back out the last time
@@sentosaco There is certainly a way to make a high quality sofa or mattress using Boston valves and an ability to fill the couch quickly I think its just hard to convince people to pay so much for a good quality inflatable sofa when a softwood one with the perceived sturdiness is so cheap.
It feels like a sound concept. We had waterbeds for ages and despite logistics for them, they were popular. It feels like the plastic needed to be more rigid than it was, and sit in a sturdy (lightweight, collapsible) frame rather than being a sole piece. But kudos to Ikea and Dranger for the attempt.
Yh one problem They were invented in the 60s and not by ikea or dranger but by 4 Italian geezers Jonathan De Pas, Donato D'Urbino, Paolo Lomazzi and Carla Scolari
I still have an IKEA air footstool and use it frequently. I bought it many years ago while out of town and was able to just stuff it into my luggage. The fabric cover isn't prone to accumulating dust. Given the light use a piece like this gets I only occasionally have to add more air to it.

My family has a couple inflatable paddle boards for when we get the chance to go out on the river and they are seriously impressive, they get inflated to like 15-20 psi and have zero give to them while being flat as a board. My understanding is they do this with an insane amount of strings on the inside or something. Anyway what I’m getting at it we totally have the technology to make inflatable furniture but a couch might be more then one piece and you’ll be using a bike pump not a hair dryer, maybe with removable covers for each piece like pillowcases so you can easily wash them and get sell em separately so you can switch up the couch pattern.
its still not very marketable though since prices between an inflatable couch of good quality would likely be higher than normal couches not filled with air lol
For me it has the unfortunate effect I don’t watch videos voiced by him. I feel bad for doing it, but I guess I’m sensitive to not-so-good voice overs.

Sleep Number has been very successful with their air mattresses, they are always attached to pump and inflating/deflating is a feature as it can adjust the firmness
I've often wondered why Sleep Number didn't also create inflatable couches and chairs that would so easily adjust to your comfort and support needs using, as the beds do, an attached air pump. I believe the air chamber in my Sleep Number bed is made of rubber, not plastic and of course then has a nice, comfortable cloth covering - there's no silly squeaking or problems with static electricity, it is then contained within a frame. If they were to offer living room furniture, I'd buy it and fast.

@@vitoc8454 Most people here live surprisingly close together. We have remarkable inequality and a relative handful of people own the majority of the land (much like anywhere else I suppose).
I totally forget these. I had a black armchair of them as a teenager. It was so comfy and to be honest you had refill the air maby all 5-6 months, also 0 Problems with collecting dust. Thanks for awakening the memory
If they just constructed it like a paddle board and the slip on cover with a 3” foam seat, it would never have any problems. I’m sure an inflatable guest couch would sell like crazy if there was one that didn’t suck. Even my first air mattress ($120) did fine for 6 years, eventually throwing a real mattress on top and using it like a base.
These come on top of things like waterbeds in the 80’s. Yes I “inherited” one during early flatting. First night, slept on it with water not heated. Felt like sleeping on a tomb floor! lol.
I mightI don't get how it failed for these reasons. Like if theres a valve issue then redesign the valve? Air beds exist and manage fine and it's pretty much a near identical concept and product. So why would the valve issue on one of their early products destroy the entire concept when it's something that already has a solution? Theres the squeaky issue mentioned too but they dont squeak with the cover over the chairs which is what the ikea ones have, so I dont see why the squeak issues caused them to fail either. Just seems like they probably just didn't sell well in the first place so they decided not to bother fixing the leak issue and release new updated products.
Yeah,there's no doubt the leaky valve was the thing that blew out all the steam for this product(budum-tssss). But, fr though,I like the concept. Only thing is, it doesn't give "luxury"vibes. I don't live in a country with IKEA so I don't really know if the prices they showed was expensive but maybe with similar furniture pricing to hard-built furniture,that could of also killed the product's sales.
Valves or flexible materials that does not leak air is very expensive. It would make the inflatable furniture multiple times more expensive than non inflatable furniture
@@MacacoMoninheiroin general, ikea sells affordable products at affordable prices at each locale. They don’t aim to be luxury, but “good enough”. Where I live, when they opened the first store, their competitive prices brought down the prices of local home-furniture products to reasonable ones.
@@jaguar-yv2hq I am guessing that they are mostly used as temporary beds when guests stay the night. People can shrug off the need to re-inflate as needed for the convenience, and to avoid the need for a guest room.
Spend nearly a decade working for an ikea, mostly as product quality specialist. This one was before my time, but yeah IKEA has stinkers you need to know what to buy to get a good product. As for kids (and adults) jumping on furniture, no inflatable stuff is needed sadly...
covering the outer layer of the couch in fabric would probably reduce the squeaking a lot and would make them more appealing and comfy while still easy to move
@@firestick4991 you don't have cat, do you? We have giant tree, house on scratchpost, 2 scratch posts, 2 cratch boxes, 3 stratch places.... and yet, the Ikea sofa and Poang chair get ruined in few months.
At the height of the water bed craze in 1989, more than 20% of beds sold in the US were water beds. That's huge! My dad had one, i found it really uncomfortable. Every move you make results in the whole bed moving. Imagine lying there with two people. Also, it needs a lot of power to keep the water at a certain temperature.
@@MartijnPennings nowadays they're divided into several smaller water compartments and with more damping (is that a real world? lol) like some kind of jelly. it will not create waves or be too soft so that you sink into it and it will not move or even leak. believe or not but some companies are still making them and it's like the 10th gen now or something lol
I've had ikea step drawers since i was a kid. I'm 20 now and they went from mine and my half brothers furniture, to just being mine. They're my bedside table and storage. I love them. I need more stickers for decorating them and filling up one of the bottom drawers.
IKEA slaps. Fr. We have done custom countertops with Ikea kitchen appliances and cabinets. Also Love me that Ikea thing they have that you can use in store to plan out your whole room to the cm. Such an awesome company.
I have an inflatable mattress with its own internal pump that you plug into an outlet and it inflates automatically. It also has some kind of flocking on the top side so that it doesn't squeak or make you sweaty. I think this is a great idea and someone should try it again.. I freaking hate moving furniture
keep the good work up getting over 600k subs in 4 months is an insane growth its crazy that you guys upload this much in just a month this kind of editing takes over a month each now thats true dedication!
check valve to prevent air from escaping (a lot of blow ups use these, you can put a pencil inside valve to keep the check open to deflate) and dust covers to match decor, heavy plastice and solid seams, this could be the perfect type of furniture as every design could be accomplished
I don't own any Ikea furniture but I do have some kitchen utensils and storage tubs. I have however been to AirBnB's that consist entirely from top to bottom of Ikea items. Handy for that I suppose.
Covers and better valves are all we needed. I love my inflatable pillows! I used an air mattress for months. Had to refill it before bed every night. Did I mention we need better valves?
I like the way the title of the video is written with wordplay on a big furniture company being "broken" by one of their most lightweight and squishy product.
It looks like a nice temporary solution. Make it last longer: Just simply make more layers so it holds :) and for the love of god clue some nice fabrik on it. put a backflowventil on the airflow ❤🧙
you know inflatable camping beds work and they don't make that hard plastic sound. With 3d printing today this design could work much better as extra support structures could be added inside the furniture.
Inflatable camping beds don't need to stay inflated for a week. And letting some air out for comfort is a common practice. Most people don't want to spend 30 minutes a day reinflating their couch.
@@SewingBoxDesigns Expensive? I don't have any IKEA furniture, but they have some of the best value furniture on the market. Not junk at all, especially for the price.
Blow up couches will make it someday. I remember the early 2000’s my dad had a friend who used them(not ikea version, really cheap walmart version)😂 weird guy but they somehow held up. 5:03 these feakin things, he had like 6. These could work Ikea doesn’t want to invest the time, AND they can’t charge stupid amounts.
I owned one of these sofas. The idea sounded great, and I loved the sofa for the short time that it worked. But always at least one of the tanks was losing air, no matter how I tried to seal them (and I tried a lot). I kept it for about two years, but eventually gave up. Still, I hope one day something similar, which will actually work, will be sold again.
Why would I buy a piece of furniture that I constantly have to re-inflate? This puts the "-85% resource consumption" number to shame. Your time is a resource. Your energy is a resource. Constantly using your time and energy to re-inflate your furniture over and over and over just to make the initial move easier does NOT sound resource efficient to me. Normal couches you buy, pay someone to help move it, place it, and then it stays there until you move. Unless you're moving around every month to places that don't have couches that you critically need (unlikely), the lack of transport volume and resource consumption is not really a major perk considering you literally have to re-inflate it 2-3 times per week if you want to use it.
The mangaement marvelled at the sight of resource consumption during production. Yay, we can produce furniture for almost nothing and sell it for an "inflated" price - yay!
this might sound stupid but where do people that don't go to IKEA buy furniture?? In a furniture store I guess but why would you go there over IKEA? IKEA just seems to be superior to me, better shopping experience, better prices, okay/good quality,...,
@@mstrmrenIn my case it's just that we don't have an IKEA in my town. I live in Colombia and if I lived in a big city and wanted furniture I could go to an IKEA yeah but places like Homecenter are more popular. In the case of my town you kinda just go to a corner store, that simple, maybe a regular grocery store that sells whatever, or a store dedicated to making/selling furniture.
The answer might be to use a rubber base instead of plastic/PVC. My car’s tyres (almost) never go flat - even through those -40 Centigrade Winter days.
The idea was brilliant, it was the execution that sucked. Give it its own computer driven fan, plug it in the wall...i use to have a cheap inflatable couch and the idea of it was really cool...and you get to choose soft or firm, can take it out and back inside...i would buy another one! Not for a thousand buck tought....
I bought and lived with inflatable furniture for about a year, I couldn't get my couch up the stairs and had to sell it, so I went and bought two inflatable armchairs and an inflatable couch at Spencers in the local mall. 😂 Cheap n easy. It worked okay with some patches, and I was young and single. I've often thought about that furniture with fondness, but knew it was pretty temporary. 💙
Most of IKEA is overpriced for what you get. They cut costs by making you assemble the stuff yourself, they cut costs by having only boring 90 degree angles on their furniture to save on shipping and you the customer see none of those savings.
@@Wordbird69 That's called an appliance, not furniture. Maybe you should consider improving your reading comprehension. This can best be done by reading books, which are usually made of wood.

Don’t they have auto fill when it starts to lose some air.

Blow up couches will make it someday. I remember the early 2000’s my dad had a friend who used them(not ikea version, really cheap walmart version)😂 weird guy but they somehow held up. 5:03 these feakin things, he had like 6.
These could work Ikea doesn’t want to invest the time, AND they can’t charge stupid amounts.
not a peice of ikea around. hell only been in one twice.
Fact, I have nothing of Ikea.
Me, after 35 years in corporate culture: every one of those managers (4:35) was a "yes man", to scared to tell their boss this was a stupid idea.
Almost every piece of furniture in my room is from IKEA
I owned one of these sofas. The idea sounded great, and I loved the sofa for the short time that it worked. But always at least one of the tanks was losing air, no matter how I tried to seal them (and I tried a lot). I kept it for about two years, but eventually gave up. Still, I hope one day something similar, which will actually work, will be sold again.
it seems like a good idea? but it really isn’t good in practice. if they could make a super light sofa it would be really useful.
Idk man i really like your voice and cadence! Love your videos
Why would I buy a piece of furniture that I constantly have to re-inflate? This puts the "-85% resource consumption" number to shame. Your time is a resource. Your energy is a resource. Constantly using your time and energy to re-inflate your furniture over and over and over just to make the initial move easier does NOT sound resource efficient to me. Normal couches you buy, pay someone to help move it, place it, and then it stays there until you move. Unless you're moving around every month to places that don't have couches that you critically need (unlikely), the lack of transport volume and resource consumption is not really a major perk considering you literally have to re-inflate it 2-3 times per week if you want to use it.
The mangaement marvelled at the sight of resource consumption during production. Yay, we can produce furniture for almost nothing and sell it for an "inflated" price - yay!
Megacorps consider the customer doing the assembly as a cost saving measure.
>how this couch broke ikea
>didn't break ikea
I don't have any IKEA furniture in my house :D
this might sound stupid but where do people that don't go to IKEA buy furniture?? In a furniture store I guess but why would you go there over IKEA? IKEA just seems to be superior to me, better shopping experience, better prices, okay/good quality,...,
@@mstrmrenIn my case it's just that we don't have an IKEA in my town. I live in Colombia and if I lived in a big city and wanted furniture I could go to an IKEA yeah but places like Homecenter are more popular. In the case of my town you kinda just go to a corner store, that simple, maybe a regular grocery store that sells whatever, or a store dedicated to making/selling furniture.
@@xproot0 Oh yeah I didn’t think about that haha, where I live there is an IKEA literally everywhere
I do love how 1/7 of this video is an advertisement.
Watched the video, still waiting to find out 'how this couch broke Ikea'...
I just finished watching the video and had the same question as yours when your comment was displayed to me.
The answer might be to use a rubber base instead of plastic/PVC. My car’s tyres (almost) never go flat - even through those -40 Centigrade Winter days.
The idea was brilliant, it was the execution that sucked. Give it its own computer driven fan, plug it in the wall...i use to have a cheap inflatable couch and the idea of it was really cool...and you get to choose soft or firm, can take it out and back inside...i would buy another one! Not for a thousand buck tought....
I bought and lived with inflatable furniture for about a year, I couldn't get my couch up the stairs and had to sell it, so I went and bought two inflatable armchairs and an inflatable couch at Spencers in the local mall. 😂 Cheap n easy. It worked okay with some patches, and I was young and single. I've often thought about that furniture with fondness, but knew it was pretty temporary. 💙
ikea
Thought for a second the thing in the thumbnail was a lower jaw made out of glass.
HE SAID KÖTTBULLAR RIGHT OH MY GOD
Nice to hear your voice again
Most of IKEA is overpriced for what you get. They cut costs by making you assemble the stuff yourself, they cut costs by having only boring 90 degree angles on their furniture to save on shipping and you the customer see none of those savings.
i bought this with the ex back in the day .. thanks for the vid.
I have no Ikea furniture in my room.
1. I live deep in the Appalachian wilderness.
2. I cut my own logs and designed my own furniture.
Did you make a computer/phone and internet out of wood as well?
@@Wordbird69 That's called an appliance, not furniture. Maybe you should consider improving your reading comprehension. This can best be done by reading books, which are usually made of wood.

I have nothing in my home from IKEA
