Overview of reviews of “Lycksel” - “Levos”, “Murbo” and “Hovet”

The Ikea chair-bed can serve as a full-fledged sleeping place not only for guests, but also for family members themselves. For example, its compact dimensions make it possible to replace a stationary bed in a very small nursery. Thanks to the comfortable mattress, some models are suitable even for everyday sleep.

Let us consider each option in detail and objectively evaluate the advantages and disadvantages.

For a small apartment, an armchair can be the best alternative to a folding sofa. Why? Unlike a large sofa, the chair is more compact and mobile. It can be unfolded or easily and quickly moved to almost any place in the room. Despite the fact that when unfolded it provides only one sleeping place, even two such chairs will take up less space than a sofa and will be more comfortable to use.

As for the prices for ikea chair-beds, it cannot be said that you will be able to save money here. The cost of a folding chair is almost equal to the cost of a single bed (and sometimes even exceeds) in the same store with approximately equal quality indicators.

Cost of a bed and a folding chair at Ikea for comparison

Therefore, when deciding to purchase a chair-bed, you should be guided by its other advantages and features:

• saving space. During the daytime, such compact and functional furniture will free up space for games in a small nursery, for example. And in the living room it will create more space for gatherings with guests;
• in special cases when someone regularly stays overnight with you, but there is no need for a double bed. Or maybe you live alone and you need a bed, but at the same time you need more free space in the apartment during the daytime;

The chair-bed is also suitable for a country house, which, as a rule, does not have much space.

Description of the series “Lycksele”

The Swedish company Ikea creates very functional furniture. So, even in one “Lycksele” series, you can replace the mattress or cover to your taste, and the sofa and armchair itself can easily be turned into a full-fledged place to sleep.

The name “Lycksele” belongs to both the sofa and the armchair, which transforms into a bed. In the first version it can accommodate two people, in the second - only one.

An important point: it is possible to additionally purchase boxes for storing linen under “Lycksele”. This will perfectly save space in a small room and will not clutter it up.

Cases “Lycksele”

We can separately describe the upholstery of these sofas and armchairs. A cover is what worries many people in the first place, because the interior of the room as a whole depends on it, as well as the ease of use of furniture for relaxation and sleep.

• The Lycksele cover is removable; it fits on this sofa and chair only when folded.
• As it wears out or if you want to change the colors of the interior, the cover can be purchased separately at Ikea stores.
• Upholstery colors: plain turquoise, gray, white, as well as black and white diamonds.
• The cover is made of natural cotton with polyester padding. It can be washed or dry cleaned, which is certainly very convenient.
• The upholstery can be ironed and vacuumed.

Review of all models from the catalog

There are not many similar chairs in Ikea's assortment. But thanks to their neutral design, they will suit almost any interior. There are only three models in the “Vattviken”, “Vallentuna”, “Lycksele” series. The latter option is available in three variations, differing only in the characteristics of the mattress.

We’ll start the review with the most inexpensive ones and continue in ascending order of price.

Pay attention to the notes on each model, highlighted in color: these are the features that distinguish a particular chair from others.

Lycksele Lövos

The most budget option of all presented in the catalog.

It has a clamshell-type mechanism called an “accordion”.

Suitable for everyday sleep.

Watch how to unfold the Lycksele chair in the video:

The price starts from 8,999 rubles.

The cost of Lycksele models depends on the choice of cover design.

Identical in appearance and mechanism to the Murbo and Hovet models, it is inferior only in mattress density - 28 kg/cub.m. This is not critical, considering that in most similar models of chair-beds from other manufacturers on the market, this parameter starts from 25 kg/cub.m.

The density of polyurethane foam in a mattress indicates its rigidity and elasticity and, as a result, comfort and wear resistance.

Sold with a removable cover that can be machine washed at 400.

Ikea chair cover

Lycksele Murbo

A folding chair, which in appearance and layout mechanism does not differ from the previous one. In fact, the quality characteristics of the mattress differ only in the density of the polyurethane foam in its composition - 35 kg/cub.m. It will be more comfortable to sleep without it. The rest is the same steel frame with epoxy coating and the same removable covers.

Price – from 9,999 rub.

Lycksele Hovet

A more expensive option with a steel frame is in the Lycksele Hovet series. How does it differ from its analogues “Murbo” and “Levos”? In appearance and mechanism they are the same. Despite the similarity in the frame, layout mechanism and identical covers, the difference between the models lies in the quality of the mattress. The Khovet model has an additional latex coating, which extends its service life and makes it more wear-resistant. The “Hovet” model mattress also has a higher density of polyurethane foam - 35 kg/cub.m. in contrast to “Levos”, for example, where this parameter is only 28 kg/cub.m.

Price – from 11,999 rub.

The Lycksele models have a rather simple and not the most attractive design; they do not have armrests, which add comfort to the furniture. But if you are interested in decorating it with beautiful pillows or a self-sewn cover, you can get a stylish interior element.

The cover is not Ikea, it is made to order

Vattviken

Not long ago, Ikea released a new product among folding chairs, which is superior in appearance to the Lycksele folding beds. Has a more traditional design. The model is made of solid birch (seat) and chipboard (back, armrests).

Perfect for many ikea sofas: “Friheten”, “Brissund”, “Vimle”, “Gimmarp”, etc.

This model can be considered the “golden mean” and the optimal option in terms of price and quality.

Price – 14,999 rubles.

Can be purchased in 2 colors - light gray or brown.

Thanks to the beautiful backrest, this chair can be placed in the middle of the room.

A distinctive feature and advantage over other models is the presence of a storage box.

Sleeping place of medium hardness (density of polyurethane foam in the mattress – 30 kg/cubic m).

But compared to “Vallentuna” and “Lycksele”, the width of the bed is narrower - 70 cm.

Its drawback is the lack of a removable cover.

Vallentuna

This is a section of a modular sofa of the same series, which can at any time become part of it, and not an independent piece of furniture.

Price – 44,000 thousand rubles.

A little expensive for a chair, because for this price Ikea has full-fledged folding sofas. But buyers will definitely appreciate this option for the quality of the upholstery and comfortable mattress; for the opportunity to turn this chair into a sofa by purchasing more parts; as well as for its stylish design.

Please note that only in the “Vallentuna” models the mattress contains an additional protective layer of felt, which significantly extends the life of the sleeping place and also gives it an additional orthopedic effect. This type of padding also makes the material breathable, absorbs moisture and remains dry if a person sweats during sleep.

Types of mattresses of the “Lycksele” series

The main feature is the ability to choose the type of mattress. The company offers three options that will satisfy the needs of even the most discerning customers.

1. “Lyxele Levos.” This type of mattress has medium firmness. It is made of polyurethane foam and has two layers to ensure maximum comfort and resilience. The top layer of “Levos” consists of latex. This material follows the contours of the body and is perfect for a constant and long night's rest. Moreover, the composition of the mattress allows air to circulate and promotes the evaporation of moisture. “Levos” is only suitable for a chair-bed.
2. “Lyxele Murbo.” This option is the toughest of the options presented. It also consists of two layers made of polyurethane foam. The top layer here is very highly elastic, thanks to which the mattress easily follows the contours of the human body. Suitable for chair bed as well as sofa bed in this series.
3. “Lycksele Hovet” has medium hardness. The top layer of the mattress is made of latex, which maintains optimal temperature conditions. The material of the second layer is polyurethane foam. This mattress can be purchased for both the Lycksele sofa bed and the chair bed of this series.

Choose a mattress according to your requirements, then “Lycksele” will be the ideal option for your apartment or house.

Armchair-bed LYCKSELE MURBO, Henon beige

The removable cover is easy to keep clean as it is machine washable. Three mattress options and a wide range of covers allow you to create the optimal combination. The compact chair-bed easily turns into a comfortable single bed.

Review of negative reviews about “Lycksele” sofas: “Levos”, “Murbo” and “Hovet”

Some buyers did not like these sofas and chair-beds. Let's see how exactly people justify their dislike for “Lycksele”:

• When folded, this series is very bulky. The folded Lycksele backrest takes up a lot of space.
• This furniture looks ugly.
• Reviews of Lycksel Levos say that every time you need to disassemble a sofa bed or armchair, you first need to remove the cover from it. It is very uncomfortable. This bulky case also needs to be stored somewhere at night.
• Despite the manufacturers' claims that the case is made of natural cotton, it is highly electrified. Perhaps this is due to the synthetic padding, but in any case it is extremely unpleasant.
• The Lycksele plastic support can leave deep indentations in the laminate. That is, this sofa cannot be rearranged anywhere; you will have to first replace the flooring.
• According to reviews, the cover of Lycksele Levos often comes off. It constantly has to be corrected, which causes a lot of inconvenience.
• The linen drawer is not very well thought out, it is small and very few things fit into it.
• The Lycksele design does not include armrests. This may make it uncomfortable to sit on.

Customer Reviews

On numerous Internet forums and review sites, buyers share their ratings after several weeks or even months of use.

Below are reviews of the most popular Lycksele folding chair.

In general, customers respond positively to the Lycksele Murbo and Lycksele Hovet chairs. Among the shortcomings, the width of the sleeping place is most often noted: 70-80 cm is at least within the standards, but for an adult such a width may not be enough for a comfortable sleep. It is necessary to evaluate this moment individually; it is best to do this while visiting the store. Thanks to the furniture exhibition at Ikea, you can not only sit on sofas and armchairs, but, if necessary, also lie down.
