FRIHETEN Replacement Cushions for IKEA — Measured Fit (2026)
Cushions to fit IKEA FRIHETEN: Sleeper sectional — official measurements, cut to order.
The FRIHETEN line at a glance
FRIHETEN is IKEA’s sleeper sectional – the pull-out, storage-under-seat three-seater that turns a spare room into a guest room and back. Sleeper duty is hard on cushions: the seat deck folds, the chaise doubles as a bed surface, and the fill takes both sitting and sleeping loads. The replacement geometry is simple – 24 inches of seat depth on an 18 1/8-inch seat height – and the piece rewards a dense rebuild.
For sleep-on duty, foam choice is the whole game: a 50D-plus high-resilience core carries nightly use where catalog fill mats down in a season. Cut to the chart numbers, ordered in one run for the whole sectional.
FRIHETEN cushion sizes — full chart
Measurements compiled from official IKEA product data (live pages, archived official values, or surviving aftermarket spec tables). Inches; metric-derived fractions (22 7/8, 23 5/8) are normal — cut to the fraction, not the rounded inch.
| Piece | Part | Qty | W × D (× H) in. | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sleeper sofa (3-seat w/storage) | Seat | 1 | 24 × 18 1/8 seat H | seat width not published - measure seam to seam per position |
Is your set really FRIHETEN?
FRIHETEN is easy to spot – pull-out bed, storage under the seat, usually a chaise end. The frame label or order history confirms it (the line is current). Measure each seat position seam to seam; the published depth (24) and seat height (18 1/8) are the cross-checks. Full method: our three-step measuring guide.
Fabric options & estimated pricing
Same fit, three fabric tiers — cotton linen (durable everyday), tech fabric (water-resistant, wipes clean), premium velvet (the high-end look that stands up to cat claws). Indoor rebuilds: 45–60D high-resilience cores, thickness chosen to restore the published seat height.
| Piece | Cotton Linen | Tech Fabric | Premium Velvet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seat block, per position (~24 x 24) | $109 | $113 | $117 |
| Chaise/bed run (~30 x 24) | $126 | $131 | $137 |
Estimated pricing — $39 make-base + area at per-sq-ft rates, made to order. Final quote confirmed at checkout; welt cord and ties available as add-ons. Covers close with a sewn envelope closure (no zippers on our line).
Measure before you order
Three minutes with a tape measure prevents the classic IKEA mistake — ordering rounded inch sizes for metric fractions. Measure seam to seam, every distinct block, to the nearest quarter inch per our measuring guide; your numbers are cross-checked against the chart above before anything is cut.
Frequently asked questions
What size cushions does the IKEA FRIHETEN use?
Seat depth 24 inches, seat height 18 1/8 – official. Seat width is not published per position, so measure seam to seam; the depth makes it a deep-seat spec, not a standard one.
Can I get firmer cushions for a FRIHETEN I sleep on nightly?
Yes – and you should. A 50D-plus high-resilience core cut to the same footprint carries nightly sleeping loads where catalog fill mats down; order seat and chaise in one run so the feel matches across the sectional.
Do you make the mattress part of the FRIHETEN?
We make seat and back cushions – the furniture cushions of the sectional. The pull-out mattress is a bedding product; the seating cushions it folds around are what we cut to the chart numbers.
