Cushions to Fit IKEA

Partly. A few lines sell cushions as separate accessories while the pattern is current — POÄNG chair cushions are the famous case, ANTILOP runs a $9.99 inflatable supporting cushion, and the outdoor line runs a seasonal pad program (HAVSTEN’s official seat/back pads run $190 per piece). But IKEA runs no parts program for retired patterns: when a line is discontinued (EKTORP indoors, APPLARO and SALTHOLMEN outdoors), the cushions disappear with it, and replacement moves to the secondhand market or a workshop that cuts to measurements.

Rarely. IKEA seat depths run 18 7/8 to 24 inches with metric-derived fractions (22 7/8, 23 5/8) that do not line up with inch-based standard sizes. A 24 × 24 universal pad on a KIVIK seat (23 5/8 deep) overhangs the front edge; a 19 × 19 dining cushion on a SÖDERHAMN seat (18 7/8 deep) bunches. Cut to the fraction, not the rounded inch.

Three places, in order of strength: the 8-digit article number on the paper label under the frame (it resolves the exact piece and year range — critical for two-generation lines), your ikea.com order history, and the assembly manual. Series names are global and stable across years, but revisions happen mid-run, so the article number beats the name.

Yes. EKTORP’s full 12-piece geometry survives via cover-maker spec tables (see the EKTORP chart); for retired lines with no surviving spec (APPLARO, SALTHOLMEN, fabric LANDSKRONA), the route is measuring the furniture itself — seam to seam, every distinct block — and we cut to your numbers.

IKEA publishes seat height, not cushion thickness. Use the published seat height as your target and choose foam thickness to restore it. Practical references: POÄNG chair cushions are officially 2 inches, aftermarket EKTORP seats run about 4 inches of loft, and aftermarket KIVIK-cut foam runs 3 inches — the numbers in each series chart are the starting point.

No. UPPLAND inherited EKTORP’s design language and its 22 7/8-inch seat depth, but the frames and covers are their own. Check the piece against both charts in this index before ordering anything EKTORP-branded for a UPPLAND frame or vice versa.

Yes. Outdoor IKEA series like TÄRNÖ, NÄMMARÖ and HAVSTEN are in this index with measured pad charts, and retired outdoor lines (APPLARO, SALTHOLMEN) are orderable as custom cuts. Outdoor builds get solution-dyed acrylic covers over 50D-plus foam — a different spec from indoor IKEA cushions, and the indoor-vs-outdoor table above splits the two.

Yes — KIVIK is a current IKEA line and we cut to your measurements rather than to a series chart. Measure width, depth and thickness off your existing pads; IKEA sizes are metric (a 55 cm seat reads 21.75 inches — send either unit, we convert). Cushions arrive in 4–7 business days. The series chart lower on this page covers the discontinued lines if you own one of those instead.

Not through the US catalog — EKTORP was discontinued around 2024 and its cushions retired with it; the surviving official listing for EKTORP seat interiors sits on IKEA’s Netherlands site, which serves Dutch addresses only. US owners are left the as-is corner and a case-by-case spare-parts request, while custom replacements cut to EKTORP’s charted dimensions ship from our bench in 4–7 business days, fabric your choice.

No — seat by seat, IKEA publishes seat height: floor to the top of the seat cushion, back cushions excluded. The backs sit above that number and are specced separately on every chart we publish, which is also how a rebuild orders them — the seat block restores the published seat height, and each back cushion is cut to the back’s own width and height as you measure it. If the question behind the question is clearance under a shelf or a window treatment, measure the assembled frame with its cushions in place: the tape settles it.

Any of them. Twelve series run full measured charts — KIVIK, EKTORP, UPPLAND and SÖDERHAMN among them — and every other line, current or long retired, goes through the custom route: you measure the old cushions seam to seam, we cut to the numbers. Sofa, couch, loveseat or sectional, the route is the same — count the seat blocks, measure one of each distinct piece, and order the whole set in a single run so foam and fabric lots match.

It depends on the line’s tier. Flagship seating such as KIVIK builds seats from high-resilience cold-cure foam layered over standard polyurethane with a pocket-spring unit beneath, with fiber-ball back cushions; simpler lines run plain polyurethane foam. A rebuild replaces all of it with 45–60D high-resilience foam cut to your measurements — firmer for longer than catalog spec — at a thickness chosen to restore the original seat height. The series pages break down what each line shipped with.
