Discontinued IKEA Armchairs: Full List

IKEA furniture can remain comfortable and functional for many years, even after a model disappears from stores. However, owners of discontinued IKEA armchairs can no longer buy original replacement covers directly from IKEA.

At Masters of Covers, we create fitted Ikea Armchair Covers for many older models, helping customers refresh their favourite chairs without replacing the entire piece of furniture.

What does it mean when an IKEA armchair is discontinued?

When an IKEA armchair is discontinued, it means that IKEA has stopped selling that particular model in a specific country or worldwide. However, this does not mean that the chair is no longer usable or needs to be replaced. Many Ikea discontinued chairs remain in excellent condition long after production has ended. However, finding a new original cover can become difficult.

When searching for discontinued Ikea armchairs, many customers are trying to find a way to update a chair they already own. Although the original model may no longer be sold, a fitted replacement cover can help refresh its appearance and extend its use. This is where model-specific Ikea Armchair Covers are particularly useful. Instead of using a loose universal cover, you can choose one made for the original shape, cushions, seams and proportions of your chair.

Can you still buy covers for discontinued IKEA armchairs?

Yes, replacement covers are available for many discontinued IKEA armchair models, even when IKEA no longer sells them. Masters of Covers offers custom-made options created from the original dimensions of each chair, so customers can continue using older furniture even after it has disappeared from IKEA stores.

Each Ikea Armchair Slipcover is designed to match the construction of a specific model and may include separate pieces for the frame, cushions and armrests. Our range of Ikea Armchair Covers are available in a variety of fabrics, colors and textures, allowing customers to recreate the chair’s original look or give it a completely new style.

Which models are discontinued in the USA? Explore the Ektorp collection

The entire Ektorp collection has been discontinued in the United States, although Ektorp products may still be available in some other countries. This means that American owners of Ektorp chairs can no longer purchase these models or their original replacement covers directly from IKEA USA.

The discontinued Ektorp armchair models include:

•       Ektorp Armchair
•       Ektorp Jennylund Armchair
•       Ektorp Tullsta Armchair

The Ektorp Armchair, Jennylund and Tullsta have different shapes and dimensions, so each model requires its own fitted cover. Available options include the Ikea Ektorp Armchair Cover, Ikea Ektorp Jennylund Armchair Cover and Ikea Ektorp Tullsta Armchair Cover.

The Ikea jennylund chair discontinued query usually relates to the US market, where the entire Ektorp collection is no longer available. The same applies to searches for ektorp jennylund discontinued or ikea armchair discontinued, although availability may still vary in other countries.

Why choose a fitted cover instead of a universal slipcover?

A fitted cover is created for one particular furniture model, while a universal cover is intended to stretch over several different shapes. Model-specific covers generally provide a cleaner appearance and allow the original form of the chair to remain visible.

A dedicated Ikea Armchair Slipcover can account for:

•       the width and height of the chair,
•       the shape of the armrests,
•       the position of seams,
•       the number and size of cushions.

Universal covers may bunch around the armrests, move when someone sits down or hide the chair’s proportions. By contrast, made-to-measure Ikea Armchair Covers are designed to fit the furniture more closely and create a more finished result.

This is especially important for discontinued IKEA armchairs, because many of them have unusual shapes that are not compatible with modern IKEA cover sets.

How can you identify an older IKEA armchair?

Start by checking for an IKEA label under the armchair or behind the cushions. It may contain the model name, article number, date of manufacture, or other identifying information.

If the label is missing or illegible, use the following details to narrow down the search for the model:

•       overall width, depth, and height,
•       shape and height of the armrests,
•       number of removable cushions,
•       cushion dimensions,
•       material and appearance of the legs,
•       visible stitching or piping.

Identifying Ikea discontinued furniture can sometimes be difficult, especially when several older models have a similar shape or construction.

If you are unsure which model you have, it is best to send us an email. We will help you identify it.

Accurate model identification is crucial because older models can look similar to newer ones at first glance, yet their dimensions may differ significantly.

Is it worth restoring a discontinued IKEA armchair?

In many cases, yes. If the frame is stable, the cushions are still comfortable and the chair suits your space, replacing the cover is often a practical alternative to buying new furniture.

Restoring an older chair can offer several benefits:

•       it reduces unnecessary furniture waste,
•       it preserves a model you already find comfortable,
•       it avoids the cost and effort of replacing the whole chair,
•       it allows you to choose a new color or fabric,
•       it helps coordinate the chair with an updated interior.

Older IKEA furniture can remain useful for years after it disappears from stores. A new cover can address visible wear without changing the construction or comfort of the chair.
