Our Review.
A sturdy and long lasting sofa. Has wide generous seating and big armrest. However, the seat cushions are also very slippery and always slide off the sofa. There have also been several complains that the support beams are quick weak and breaks easily.

Does anyone have a solution fo rthe ‘Ugh’ factor you describe, that of the cushions slipping off all the time? If so, please send me an email!
That’s our pet peeve with the Ekeskog! Luckily, our slipcovers are made with suede backing to give the seats a little added friction, so you’ll stop slipping down. You could DIY with some velcro on your sofa- let us know how it goes.

If you have the Ekeskog sofa-bed, then you’ll have to get the Ekeskog sofa-bed slipcovers as the sofa bed is actually a little smaller than the regular sofa and has different measurements altogether. This is why the slipcovers for the sofa and sofa-bed aren’t… Read more »
Do you still stock Maddison Rose fabric please? I ordered covers for my a while ago and would now like to order some arm rest protectors.
Hi Sally, Thanks for asking! We do still have the Madison fabric – it has been re-named to “Brushed Cotton” and you may find them under the “Pure Cotton” category. We would strongly recommend picking up some samples before getting the armrest covers as dye lots do vary a little… Read more »
