The IKEA EKTORP sofa is one of the Swedish brand’s most popular models. Appreciated for its timeless design, comfort, and modularity, it has won over many households around the world. But what many people do not know is that there are several versions of the IKEA EKTORP sofa, with differences that may sometimes be subtle but are important when it comes to replacing or customizing a cover.
Several generations of the IKEA EKTORP sofa
Since its launch, the EKTORP model has undergone several changes. IKEA has marketed different versions of this sofa over the years:
- Older models (before 2010): these first models have slightly different dimensions from those sold later. They are also less standardized in terms of finishes.
- Models from 2010 to 2015: a new generation with minor improvements to the cushions and armrests, but still without Velcro fasteners or zippers on the cushion covers.
- Recent models (from 2020 through 2025): the current versions feature several ergonomic adjustments, particularly to the armrests, cushions, and cover fastening systems.
Differences depending on the country
It is also important to note that the EKTORP model may vary slightly depending on the country in which it is sold. These differences may concern:
- The sofa’s overall height (slightly lower or higher depending on the market)
- The length or seat depth
- The shape of the armrests (more or less rounded)
- The shape and volume of the cushions
Evolution of the fastening systems
One crucial point to consider is the cover fastening system:
- Older models have neither Velcro fasteners to attach the cushion covers to the frame nor zippers to keep the cushions closed.
- Recent models are equipped with Velcro to attach the seat and backrest covers, as well as zippers to close the cushions, making maintenance easier and improving the fabric’s fit.
