IKEA FRIHETEN ranks sixth and is the cheapest sofa here by a wide margin. IKEA lists it at $899 regular, and IKEA Family members could buy it for $799 between November 5 and 24, 2026. For that price you get a three-seat sofa that converts into a 56 3/4 by 78 3/8 inch bed and a storage space under the seat large enough, IKEA says, for bedding, books and PJs. The sofa is 88 5/8 inches wide with a 24-inch seat depth and 18 1/8-inch seat height, and three back cushions are included. The cover is 100% recycled polyester. IKEA backs it with a 10-year limited warranty and 365 days to return for a full refund, the longest return window here. It scores lower on quality because the frame includes particleboard, the cover is not removable and the cushion cover should not be washed, and it arrives as two heavy packages for you to assemble. We compared documented features and published prices and did not sit on the sofa.
