TLDR Review: IKEA Kivik Armchair Cover
Pros
- •Provides a snug, perfect fit with no bunching or gaps once properly applied
- •Beautiful appearance with color that matches expectations, earning positive visitor comments
- •Easy to install and remove without frustration
- •Thick, durable, higuality fabric that's protective and remains strong
- •Fabric softness is maintained even after applying scotch guard protectant spray
Cons
- •Back cushion cover is extremely tight and difficult to apply
- •May have compatibility issues with IKEA Kivik sofas that have reinforcement boards in the back cushion
- •Fit can be imprecise and pull in unexpected directions despite being sized appropriately
- •Fabric persistently attracts and holds lint and fuzz, maintaining a constantly messy appearance
- •Fabric durability is questionable, with reviewers expressing concerns about ripping and integrity issues after washing
Bottom Line
This cover delivers gorgeous looks and can fit like a dream—but only if you're prepared for a wrestling match with that back cushion. The tight application combined with potential compatibility issues for certain Kivik models and nagging durability concerns after washing make this a gamble. If you're considering this, verify your sofa doesn't have reinforcement boards in the back cushion first, and ask yourself honestly: am I going to wash this frequently? If the answer is yes, you might want to reconsider given the reviewers' concerns about fabric integrity.
