The Cutting Table · a question, worked through

Can I get the floor sofa in a fabric other than corduroy?

Corduroy is where the floor sofa starts, not where it has to stay. These are the follow-ups buyers actually sent, in the order they tend to arrive.

The quick answer

Yes: corduroy is only the standard, and the modular and teddy floor sofas, the pouf sofa and IKEA Hemnes daybed covers can all be made in velvet, smooth soft fabric, linen, canvas-weave linen or a washable white canvas. Pick from the charts the workshop sends and write the fabric and color in the Personalization box.

“Does it have to be corduroy?”

No. Corduroy is the standard, and a handsome one: its wale catches light in fine ridges, like a plowed field at dusk. But the modular and teddy floor sofas, the pouf sofa and the daybed covers can all be made in other cloth. Choose from the charts the workshop sends, then write the fabric and color in the Personalization box.

Some modular models come in fixed sizes. The fabric, my friends, can always change.

“Forest green velvet? Maroon? Black?”

Yes to all three. The velvet range runs from a deep forest green through maroon and purple to black, with printed velvets too. Velvet pools light in its folds and glows along the edges. When one buyer swapped corduroy for forest green velvet, it cost nothing extra. Maroon also comes in soft fabric, if you want the color without the pile. See the velvet swatches.

“Something smooth, with no texture at all?”

Then the soft fabric range: plain, even navy, emerald and tobacco. For a matte, drier hand there is linen, a canvas-weave linen, or a washable white canvas. The Hemnes daybed cover with round backrests comes in linen too; see the Hemnes daybed covers.

Where the fabric switch stops

  • No stripes on the teddy floor sofa.
  • No tufting on the teddy shape.
  • No leather; it is no longer offered.
  • No size change on fixed-size modular models, though their fabric can change.

A floor sofa doesn't have to be corduroy: the same modular and teddy shapes are made in velvet, linen, smooth soft fabric or washable white canvas.

Questions buyers ask next

What are the velvet floor sofa covers made of?

The velvet replacement covers are 100% polyester, and the corner teddy sofa's standard fabric is corduroy. Neither contains hemp, whatever an older listing said.

Can I order a spare floor sofa cover in a second color?

Yes. Spare covers can be ordered in a different color from the first set. Pick the code from the fabric charts and give the size of each piece.

Can each piece of a floor sofa be a different color?

Yes. On the teddy floor sofas, colors can be mixed piece by piece. Write which piece gets which fabric code in the Personalization box.
