Thinking about refreshing your living room with a new Vimle sofa cover? Good call! Whether you're after a quick seasonal update or a total style makeover, replacing your IKEA Vimle cover is one of the easiest ways to breathe new life into your space.
But before ordering your custom Vimle covers, let’s make sure you’re choosing the right size. The process is simpler than you might think—especially with Covereo’s perfectly tailored IKEA covers.
In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about measuring your IKEA Vimle sofa, including details for ottomans, armchairs, and sofa beds. Let’s dive in!
Step 1: Confirm You Have an IKEA Vimle Sofa (Not Another Model)
First things first—let’s make sure we’re talking about the right sofa. The IKEA Vimle sofa has a distinctive modular design, but it can sometimes be confused with similar models.
How to confirm?
- Locate the product tag—you’ll find it under the cushions or frame of your sofa.
- Check for the product code (formatted like 604.887.95).
- Google that code to verify that your sofa is indeed a Vimle.
Once you’ve confirmed you have a Vimle, you’re ready to move forward with your custom Vimle sofa covers.

Step 2: Good News—You Don’t Need to Measure the Whole Sofa
Here’s the beauty of the Vimle series: the dimensions of the sofa modules—including seat cushions, frames, and backrests—have remained consistent over the years.
So, when you order a custom Vimle cover from Covereo, you don’t need to measure the overall sofa dimensions. Our IKEA Vimle covers are designed to fit all standard Vimle models perfectly.
The only thing you’ll want to check? The armrests.
Step 3: Check Your Vimle Sofa Armrests
The IKEA Vimle cover is designed for two different armrest styles:
- Standard narrow armrests (15 cm width - 5,9 inches): This is the most common armrest and is the default option on our website for Vimle covers.
- Wider, lower armrests (22 cm width - 8,7 inches): These are broader and slightly shorter than the standard version.
How to check your armrest size:
- Measure the width of your armrests.
- If they’re 15 cm (5,9 inches) wide, your Vimle sofa cover will fit perfectly.
- If they’re 22 cm (8m7 inches), reach out to us—we’ll ensure your custom Vimle covers include the correct size armrest covers.

Step 4: What About Vimle Ottomans, Armchairs, and Sofa Beds?
Your IKEA Vimle cover needs to fit more than just the sofa itself. Here’s what to know about ottomans, armchairs, and sofa beds in the Vimle series:
Ottomans (Footstools):
- Standard Vimle ottomans have consistent dimensions across the series.
- Whether it’s an older or newer version, your Vimle cover will fit the ottoman snugly.
Armchairs:
- Vimle armchairs are designed just like the sofa modules.
- Our IKEA Vimle covers are custom-made for these chairs, so there’s no need for extra measurements. Measure armrests only.
Sofa Beds (Sleeper Sofas):
- The Vimle sofa bed has a different cushion configuration due to the pull-out bed mechanism.
- But don’t worry—just select the sofa bed option when ordering your Vimle sofa cover, and we’ll handle the rest. Measure armrests only.
