It helps refresh the look of your sofa, protect the original upholstery from wear, and is made from durable, easy-to-clean materials. Below are key sections for overview, parts included, preparation, step-by-step installation, care, and troubleshooting.

Product Overview & Parts

The armrest cover is designed to fit snugly over the existing armrest of your HÄRLANDA sofa. It is secured with an elastic edge or fastening straps for a clean, tailored look.

Note: The sofa itself is not included. This product is sold as a cover set only.

Before You Begin

Please read all instructions before starting. Ensure you have a clean workspace.

1. Identify Your Sofa: Confirm you have an IKEA HÄRLANDA sofa model. The cover is designed specifically for this series.
2. Clean the Armrests: Wipe down the existing armrests with a dry cloth to remove any dust or debris.
3. Inspect Parts: Lay out both covers and check for any damage. Contact IKEA customer service if parts are missing or defective.
4. Prepare the Area: Move the sofa away from the wall if necessary to allow access to both sides.

Tip: Installation is easier with two people, especially for larger sofa sections.

Step-by-Step Installation

Follow these steps to install the armrest covers correctly.

1. Position the Cover: Hold the cover with the finished seam side facing outwards. Align the top edge of the cover with the top of the sofa armrest.
2. Slide Over the Armrest: Gently pull the cover down over the entire armrest, similar to putting on a pillowcase. Ensure the fabric is smooth and not twisted.
3. Secure the Bottom: Reach underneath the armrest and fasten any straps or ensure the elastic hem is tucked neatly and securely around the bottom edge of the armrest padding.
4. Smooth and Adjust: From the front and sides, smooth out any wrinkles or bunches of fabric. Tuck excess fabric neatly underneath.
5. Repeat: Repeat steps 1-4 for the second armrest cover on the opposite side of the sofa.
6. Final Check: Sit back and view the sofa from a distance. Ensure both covers are even, smooth, and securely fastened.

CAUTION! Do not over-stretch the fabric. Handle the covers gently to avoid tearing the seams.

Care & Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your armrest covers.

• Regular Cleaning: Vacuum with a soft brush attachment or spot clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
• Stain Removal: Blot spills immediately. Use a clean cloth and a small amount of upholstery cleaner suitable for the fabric type.
• Washing: Check the care label. Most IKEA covers are removable and machine washable in cold water on a gentle cycle. Tumble dry low or air dry.
• Do Not: Do not bleach. Do not iron directly on the fabric. Do not dry clean unless the label explicitly states it is safe.
