Can the IKEA FRIHETEN Switch Sides?

If you’re considering buying an IKEA FRIHETEN sleeper sofa, you’ve probably wondered:
Can the FRIHETEN switch sides?

The short answer is yes — the FRIHETEN corner sofa from IKEA is reversible, allowing you to set the chaise on either the left or right side. But before you start reassembling, it’s important to understand how this works and why many Montreal customers now prefer custom-refurbished FRIHETEN sofa beds from Grand Jeles — stronger, more comfortable, and completely customizable.

🔄 How the IKEA FRIHETEN Reversible Sleeper Sofa Works

The FRIHETEN reversible sofa sleeper is designed with a movable chaise section that can be installed on either side.
It’s not modular, so to change the side, you’ll need to disassemble and reassemble the chaise and armrest — but the process is simple and completely doable at home.

This flexibility makes the FRIHETEN corner sofa ideal for Montreal condos and apartments where space and layout often change.

🧰 Step-by-Step: How to Switch the FRIHETEN Chaise Side

1. Remove the cushions and open the storage base.
2. Detach the armrest from the side you want to move.
3. Relocate the storage base to the opposite side.
4. Reattach the armrest and secure it firmly.
5. Tighten all bolts and hinges before use.

It’s always a good idea to have the IKEA manual nearby for precise alignment when switching your FRIHETEN sleeper sofa sides.

🏠 Why the FRIHETEN Sofa Bed Is Ideal for Montreal Homes

• Fits perfectly in small apartments or large living rooms.
• Converts easily from sofa to bed, ideal for guests.
• Includes a hidden storage compartment for linens and pillows.
• Has a clean Scandinavian look that complements any modern space.

That’s why the FRIHETEN sofa sleeper from IKEA remains one of the most practical and affordable options for Montreal homeowners.

💚 Grand Jeles Custom-Refurbished FRIHETEN Sofa Beds vs. IKEA Originals

At Grand Jeles, we have taken the popular IKEA FRIHETEN sleeper sofa and improved it in every way — from structure to comfort and durability.

Here’s how our custom FRIHETEN sleeper sofas stand out compared to IKEA’s standard version:

• Enhanced durability: we use 4 nails for each spring, while IKEA uses only 2 — doubling the stability and lifespan.
• Improved firmness: the space between the main seat and the bed extension is smaller than in IKEA’s original FRIHETEN, giving a more solid, stable feel.
• Custom comfort: buyers can choose their foam firmness — soft, medium, or firm — something IKEA doesn’t offer.
• Personalized style: you can select your favorite color, fabric, and pattern, creating a one-of-a-kind piece that matches your home perfectly.

In short, Grand Jeles keeps the iconic design of the FRIHETEN couch but delivers a stronger, more comfortable, and more elegant version — tailored for Montreal living.
