Maybe I’m old but…AnnaMaybe I’m too old but this sofa is not comfortable after an hour sitting on it. I want to love it, because the ability to pull out into a bed for guests is really ideal, but it’s like sitting on plywood. There’s very little cushion, especially if you’re old & fat like me. The blue version is also a magnet for pet hair. We bought the sofa for our basement rec room about a year ago and we only use it once a week (or so) for movie nights. It seems to be holding up fairly well, but we’re planning to replace it soon because it’s so uncomfortable.3
SectionalJulieI love my blue sectional! It provides comfortable seating and fit my family room needs. It will also provide bedding for family staying over night.5
Great for the game roomIsaiahI've put 2 of these (mirrored) in my game room, and they are so handy if guests are sleeping over.
For movie nights, my wife and I will lay in one and our boys in the other, but during game nights, they are excellent for sitting with a folding table between as sofas.5

Not the best couchJenniferWe’ve had this couch for a year now and it’s not that great. We have the beige color and I wish the material was like the grey one they display at the store. Over the time this couch is not comfortable to sit in for hours, the cushion has sinked since we use it a lot and has a lot of lint. I wish I can replace it with a different one. i think this couch would be good for a guest room where you don’t use the couch as much. I’ve only had it for 1 year and I’m looking in to buying a different one but I’m kind of upset since this couch is not cheap.3
Matched LanNot too big or not too small for our living room space5
Excellent JorgeVery comfortable 5
Great at First but Doesn't Hold UpCourtneyI really love the functionality of this couch, but I've had it for less than 3 years and it hasn't held up at all.
I've already had to replace several of the spring clips (the springs are fine, just some of the clips were poorly attached to begin with and snapped off). The side armrests - especially the lower side have completely collapsed and the stuffing is falling down the side of the couch. Additionally the pull out part is starting to fall in when you apply any pressure. I guess it still functions okay but for the price I feel like the quality has deteriorated way faster than expected.
I live alone so it's mostly just me using the couch. I occasionally have guests over and it's a running joke that you can't sit on the pull out part of the couch without risking falling in. I'm normally a huge fan of IKEA products too. I should also add that this couch is $200 more now than when I purchased it in 2021, so hopefully they've improved the quality.3
Wow! Great Price, solid productStanleyThe Friheten sofa bed is one of the few sofa beds that are comfortable. Gone is the metal bar in the middle of your back. If you like 60's modern look this one nails it in a very sophisticated way. Many of IKEA products tend to look like 60's knock-offs but the style of this seems to be a complete from-all-angles original design that is exciting and "complete" and needs no apologies. Love the product, looks great, plenty of storage, what's not to love! Priced at a point where you do not have to take out a second mortgage on your home just to own one. Your "couch surfing" friends and relatives will never leave... something one should seriously think about before letting them sleep on it. The one I like the best is with the darker grey cloth. IKEA more products like this Please!!!5
Friheten FutonMarkKinda spendy, but it is a VERY good futon. It wasn't the easiet to assemble, but it was doable with assistance from my daughter. The assembled futon is rather heavy, but I believe that is what makes it so good.5
Versatile, cozy sofaMatthewMy partner and I live in a small 800 sq foot appartment, so when we wanted to upgrade our sofa, the Friheten was our top choice. Its fairly comfortable, but definitely on the firm side. We love how versatile it is. For the two of us, we have enough space to both be able to stretch out on it. When we have guests over, up to four people can sit on it comfortably. Lastly, we can pull out the rolling extension to expand the sofa into the sleeper. The chaise storage holds all of our board games and puzzles and still has room for more. It is possible to construct on your own, but its really easy with an extra hand. My only complaint is our chaise is a little difficult to lift. I'm not sure what the issue is, whether the spring is a bit stiff on the hinge or it just needs a shot of WD40, but we lift it so infrequently that its not a dealbreaker. Overall, we're very happy with it and it is very much worth the investment. 4
SleeperBruceVery easy to put together good value for area needed 5
Uncomfortable for lying down or sleepingKateI have owned one of these for almost five years. I would not have bought it if I had known about the biggest design flaw, which is that the area where the chaise connects to the couch part has a very hard hidden edge that you can feel when lying down, especially if you put your head toward the chaise end. This makes it extremely uncomfortable to lay in that position. You basically will feel a narrow board jamming into your ribs. If you lay down on the couch the other way with your feet toward the chaise end, well, there is no side edge to the couch, so your pillows tend to fall off. The cushions are very firm and extremely uncomfortable to lay on. So this whole thing is useless as a couch to lay down on, or as a bed. It’s fine for sitting and lounging on the chaise. I wish I wouldn’t have bought it. Cannot recommend the L-shaped Friheten. Very clever features but very flawed when it comes to comfort.2

Good convertible sofa sleeper!FrancesThis is a very a versatile sectional, good for a small family or living room. Love the extra storage under the chaise seat. It would be useful if another chaise can be added on the other side as an option.4
Office option + backup bedroomDanWorked for us for extra bedroom/office. Comfortable for an occasional sofa but the bed is a little hard. We might pick up a mattress topper for it. Overall perfect for what we needed.5
😊KelseyWe decided to switch out our original couch in the same model with a new color. One thing I noticed is that the dimensions are slightly different, but still works great. A lot of the comments on this couch are not super positive, but we had our first model of this couch for six years and loved it. We love the new color to match our living room better. The fold out bed feature does have some Divet‘s in the lines sectioning out the couch, but just using a foam pad illuminates sleeping uncomfortably. We do love this model of couch.4
Bad Quality Do not buyDavidNot even 6 months in and its falling apart. The backboard crumbling and about 2ft section on the backboard the staples are coming out. The side corner foam wasn't secure so it slides everywhere. Cushion where you sit sank in 1
Terrible quality, awful to clean!LeritzaWe’ve had it for a year now and I hate this couch so much and regret getting it at all. It traps everything - hair, dirt, easily frays. Not easy to clean due to product instructions, and it looks like we’ve had it for >5 yrs because of how quickly it degrades. Save your money and skip this.1
