Are any sofa manufacturers out there that still produce good quality for around $1000, preferably from Europe ?

$1k just ain't what it used to be. My wife and I just spent $5k on a sectional from West Elm a year ago and the fabric is already starting to pill.

This is why I trust IKEA’s price to quality ratio. I know I won’t be getting the highest quality, but I will likely be getting the highest quality to price ratio.

Got this one in 2016 for $1,100, and it’s survived 2 kids with minimal pilling. It won’t impress anyone, but I have no problem using it.

I have no way of discerning furniture/fabric quality, and no one offers long warranties, so I don’t see a reason to spend more than IKEA prices.

Oof! For $5k you could get something from Herman Miller, Hay, or Design Within Reach[1].

Probably not for $1000.

$2700 is what I got mine for. I think price might have been lowered to $2300 now.

It's built in Poland. Solid wood with steel reinforcement in the form of steel tubing in places, springs, and then a pillow system on top of that. The firm making it is the Swedish company SITS.

But I think one has to actually sit in a bunch of couches to see whether they're good.

Buy something used on ebay. I picked up an &Tradition Cloud sofa on ebay a few years back for ~30% list price.

Ikea. Can't beat price/quality.

I do agree with this. When you build them yourself and see the underneath of them they really aren’t that awful compared to a store couch that is possibly using even worse construction techniques.

The only problem I have with them is that they have almost no couch designs that have a more plush style. Almost all of them are firmer foams and just plain not appealing designs.

I bought two sofas from Habbio last year and am really happy with the purchase.

They're made from recycled materials and are vegan. So far they've been great, and they have a 15 year guarantee, but time will tell.

Jumping in with the pro-IKEA crowd. I've had a KIVIK since 2017 that has survived me, my wife, and friends incredibly well. It's moved with us 3 times and still is in great shape. Easily the best value piece of furniture currently in my home.

You have to buy an old one and have it reanimated professionally.

Reanimated? :)
