I've bought from Bemz before and have been happy with the slipcover. I have never had to clean it though as it doesn't get a lot of use so I don't know how well it would hold up to that.

I bought the cover set too, I think it's about $100 separate from the couch+cushions. But I recently bought a chair at Crate and Barrel and skipped the chair cushion (a ripoff at $200 for an inch of cushion in a khaki off-white color). Instead, I cut out a cardboard template for a cushion and ordered customized cushion + fabric/pattern matching our home at G Street Fabric for ~ $120 after tax.

Awesome. How much cheaper was it? Online, the prices are all with-cover.

yes. we just bought an Ikea couch with cover sold as a separate item.

Is it possible to buy an IKEA sofa or chair WITHOUT the cover?

Anyone bought slipcovers for IKEA sofas/chairs from one of the outside vendors like http://www.bemz.com/en-us/products/sofa-covers/ektorp/?
