Is This Versatile Seating Solution From IKEA Worth The Price? Here's What Customers Think

If you're squeezed into a small space, modular furniture can save your sanity. Pieces like the JÄTTEBO from IKEA can be a footstool on Friday, sofa on Saturday, storage on Sunday ... you get the idea. Available in gray, beige, and yellow-green, and stuffed with high-resilience foam and springs that promise support no matter how you've got it configured, there's no doubt the corduroy-covered furniture offers plenty of flexibility. Starting at $530, the cost can quickly add up if you've got your heart set on a setup that requires many modules. But according to several customers, the versatile seating solution from IKEA is more than worth the price.

"Every one loves it," one reviewer wrote along with their five star review. "We added this to the other piece we bought to add more seating space." IKEA designed the JÄTTEBO sofa series with practically endless combinations in mind. You can use an online planner to customize your new hangout spot, select one of the sectionals, choose a chaise option, or keep it minimalist with a single module. Armrest and headrest pieces are sold separately. "Makes it perfect for sitting relaxed and watching a movie," one customer wrote about the $70 headrest cushion. "I liked it so much I bought a second one," said another. The low-profile design is perfect for lounging, and makes the JÄTTEBO series an ideal choice when you're designing the perfect theater room. Rearranging the modules is simple and tool-free. You'll just remove the mounting brackets and situate them to your heart's content before snapping the brackets back in place.

A modular sofa is an ultra-cozy couch trend that's an alternative to bulky furniture, and a modular sofa with storage is even better. Whether you opt for a single JÄTTEBO module or the 1.5 seat or chaise lounge, you'll find storage space under the seat. It's large enough for throw blankets or other small items you want to stick out of sight. Thanks to gas spring dampers, the seats open and close quietly and automatically stay lifted when it's time to stash your stuff. "The storage will come in handy," one reviewer said, adding that they appreciated the ability to reconfigure their sofa on a whim. If you need even more storage, you may want to check out IKEA's VALTORP bench. Available in gray and yellow-green fabric covers that match the JÄTTEBO series, along with providing ample storage, it's large and sturdy enough to accommodate two people.

Speaking of fabric, extra covers for the JÄTTEBO modules are also available for purchase. Ranging in price from $30 for the headrest cover to $150 for the chaise module cover, they're a great option if you like to change up the look of your living room every once in a while. "The corduroy fabric upholstery is beautiful and soft," one customer said. Another said the material holds up well over time. Along with the machine-washable covers in the trending fabric that gives '70s aesthetic in a modern and cozy way, each JÄTTEBO module comes with a 10-year limited warranty covering the frame and cushions.
