?s about 179 dinette ( and more)

Originally posted by RoyToy Can you tell us which futon you purchased at IKEA? We are considering same thing. Already leveled out the area with different layers of high density Styrofoam now looking for comfortable sleeping surface. Thanks

This is the longer one, which appears to be on clearance.

The shorter one appears to have been cleared out already.

Originally posted by john in idaho so -- if you slide the sofa out, does the back fold down into a bed?

Yes. It's designed to rest on its own legs; you fold it down by pulling the back forward until it clicks, and then it lays flat. In the 179, the legs aren't used and it's easier to grab the seat and pull up instead.

I pulled the photos off Facebook.

Ditto!!

Thanks for the link to the Ikea sofas.

For the price, I'd be tempted to buy the larger one to fill the space, as I could probably get someone to replace the cloth with a suitable "ultra-leather" material for a lot less than the $1,000 (plus shipping!) I might otherwise spend at shop4seats.com. If anyone has pictures - or could please take pictures - of their Ikea jackknife installed in their 179, ideally in both seat and bed positions - I sure would appreciate it. And if anyone has installed any OTHER model jackknife I would sure appreciate more info and pics about those too!!

Can't wait to get out camping again!!
