How different the Times' photos make this lovely place look from Maxwell's photos! I saw the Times piece first and I thought Maxwell wouldn't do a place so precious and formal. Then I saw Maxwell's photos and I went Awwww.....yes - this is the real deal. Thanx!

I communicated with Sandra Andersson from Parts of Sweden re the price of a slip cover for the Klippan love seat - $429 + $72 shipping. Oh well.

I've had no problems with the one I have from Ikea - I wash it all the time but their choices are limited.

I'm sure I'm in the minority here as I'm 67 years old and a total futon lover! I went the opposite direction: started with horrid mattresses and went to blissful comfort with my first futon - which, btw,lasted for TWENTY years - I don't know how, though I did turn it every week and aired it 4 times a year. My next futon (3 years ago) was a shock because it weighed about 1/10 of the first one yet was more comfortable.

All that said, I have been lying down on Ikea mattresses the last few times I've been there....but I'm a total platform person even with a mattress. I cannot stand the jiggle that box springs give - making it hard to sleep in a hotel - or a friends! :)(:
