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.
Every field accepts quarter-inch decimals, and the estimate rewrites itself as you type. Built here weekly: single seats and backs, full matched sets, split seat blocks for multi-seat frames, notched corners around trim, thickness from 2 to 8 inches — all on one per-square-foot formula, so shape adds nothing to the bill.

Two loads, one foam: what sit-and-sleep duty does to a cushion
A sleeper sectional destroys seat foam through two completely different mechanisms at once. Sitting is a cycling load: the foam compresses and releases thousands of times, and it fails first at the front edge and the seams between seat positions, where the deepest bends happen every time someone stands up. Sleeping is a static load: eight hours of continuous pressure in the same zone, which flattens the middle of the pad from the inside. The catalog fill in a pull-out line is engineered to compromise between both, which is another way of saying it is ideal for neither. Both failure patterns land on the same deck, day after day, which is why the deck is where the rebuild budget belongs.
When you rebuild for dual duty, the seat deck is the part that deserves the firmer spec. The published geometry gives you 24 inches of seat depth at an 18 1/8-inch seat height, and depth that generous lets a dense core carry nightly use without the pad growing tall enough to foul the folding motion. Under the back cushions, a softer grade is fine: they take body weight only while seated upright, never while sleeping. Splitting the spec this way, firm deck and softer backs, is the single change that makes a rebuilt sleeper outlast its original fill.
One more structural fact is worth knowing before you order. Because the storage cavity sits directly under the seat deck, the underside of your new cushions gets no airflow. In a humid room that moisture has nowhere to go, so a breathable cover weave matters more here than on any stationary sofa, and occasional removal of the cushions to air out the deck is good practice. The chart numbers cover the geometry; these three habits, split spec, firm deck, airflow, cover the longevity.
Pricing — estimated starting at
These are estimates — $45 make-base + area at per-sq-ft rates, made after you order. Production waits on your confirmed final quote. Covers close with a zipper and remove for washing.
For comparison: U.S. custom-configurator specialists’ 2026 listings for made-to-order cushions in common sizes (16×16 through 24×24) run roughly $71–$119 before shipping — and most only reveal that price after a quote request. The pricing math is right on the page — every dollar of the estimate traces back to a dimension you can measure.
FRIHETEN sizes — the full chart
Compiled from official IKEA product data (live pages, archived official values, or surviving aftermarket spec tables). Measurements are in inches, and metric-derived fractions (22 7/8, 23 5/8) are the norm — have the fraction cut, not the rounded inch.
Three numbers that pin a FRIHETEN order
Depth 24 in. and seat height 18 1/8 in. are published — your tape measure supplies the third. Width is the number IKEA leaves to you: measure each seat position seam to seam across the bare deck, one block per position, quarter-inch exact. On the chaise end, measure the full pad footprint (the bed-width run) rather than the sitting zone; on the storage seats, measure with the lids closed so hardware does not skew the reading. Those three numbers are all the chart needs to become a cut order.
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; the chart above is matched against your numbers before anything is cut.
Fabric options
Three fabric families cover most projects — all fabrics, one price: breathable cotton linen for covered spots, tech fabric for weather, premium velvet for indoor polish. On indoor work: 45–60D high-resilience cores with thickness set to bring back the published height.
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 confirming numbers. full method: our three-step measuring guide.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
Wipes do the daily work — and covers unzip for machine washing when a full clean is due. Tech Fabric makes care simple: waterproof, damp-cloth clean. Cotton Linen handles spot cleaning and a low-heat pass with the iron on the reverse. Velvet is dry-cleanable or gently washable by hand, drying with the pile brushed flat; Chenille is wipe-only — brushing the tufts damages them. The full 119-fabric set is in the configurator, zoomable before you order.
Cut and sewn only after you order — a 4-7 business-day make-and-ship window: production runs 4–7 business days, with 3–5 day rush available for most fabrics, then shipped direct from our workshop.
Published seat height is 18 1/8 in. — thickness is chosen to restore it, not to pad past it. We cut 2-to-8-inch tiers: a nightly-slept-on FRIHETEN takes a thicker 50D-plus core than a guest-room unit, because sleeping loads compress foam faster than sitting loads. Send the seam-to-seam numbers and the seat height you measure now (sagged seats read 2–3 in. low); the thickness that brings the deck back to 18 1/8 is the right one.
Yes — single pieces are routine work. The chaise runs deeper than the sofa positions (its seat pad spans the bed-width footprint, priced as the chaise/bed run row in the chart above), so measure it separately rather than copying a sofa block. Order seats and chaise in one production run when you can: same fabric lot, matched feel across the sectional.
