Seven years ago, Izabella wrote about the “thrillingly transformative” Ikea-ready slipcovers from Swedish company Bemz.
Bemz
There are so many reasons to like Bemz—and not just for the quality and uncommon stylishness of their slipcovers. In addition, they also make bed skirts, curtains, and covers for headboards, and carry a range of legs for Ikea chairs and sofas.
One of our favorite covers offered by Bemz is their Loose Fit Urban style, seen here on Ikea’s Klippan sofa.
Slipcovers for Ikea’s Färlöv armchair start at $149.
Comfort Works
The origin story for the Australian-based company starts with the age-old first-apartment conundrum: What to do with an unattractive but still-working couch?
Slipcovers for Ikea’s three-seater Karlstadt sofa start at $309.
Slipcovers for Ektorp’s three-seater version start at $329.
The typical wait time for a custom slipcover can be months-long.
Soferia
Slipcovers for the Norsborg sofa start at €269.00.
CoverCouch
Many of the 250-plus fabrics available from the London-based company are polyester or synthetic blends, but there are some good wool options.
We like the Söderhamn sofa in New Zealand wool in the Gaja Timberland hue; $526.16.
The Miami-based company has a streamlined website, dividing its products into three categories: legs, knobs, and front layers—and that pretty much explains what it does.
Prettypegs
