Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is KOTA?

KOTA is a Finnish furniture brand that specializes in eco-friendly, vacuum-packed sofa beds. Combining Scandinavian design with functionality and sustainability, KOTA sofa beds provide superior comfort for both sitting and sleeping.

 

What makes KOTA sofa beds eco-friendly?

KOTA uses 100% recycled PET bottles to manufacture its sofa bed fabrics. Its vacuum-packing process reduces carbon emissions by 50-80%, making it a sustainable choice.

 

What should I do if my sofa bed cover has wrinkles after unpacking?

It’s normal for fabric to have wrinkles after being vacuum-packed. These should naturally reduce over few days, but if you prefer a quicker solution, we recommend using a hand steamer to gently remove the wrinkles. A few passes with the steamer should leave your sofa bed looking smooth and fresh.

 

What sizes are available?

KOTA offers sofa beds in king, queen, double and single sizes, along with a pouf. 

Bed sizes are the following:

  • King-size: 180 x 200 cm
  • Queen-size: 160 x 200 cm
  • Double-size: 140x200 cm
  • Single-size: 100 x 200 cm
  • Pouf: 100 x 200 cm

How are KOTA sofa beds delivered?

The king and queen-size sofa beds are delivered in two boxes, each weighing a maximum of 20 kg, making them easy to transport. The single-size and pouf sofa beds are delivered in one box, also weighing up to 20 kg.

If you’ve already placed your order and are unsure whether you'll be available to receive the shipment, you can contact Finnish Post (for customers in Finland) or your local GLS customer service with the shipment tracking codes that were provided in the delivery confirmation email.

 

I received some of my order, where is the rest of the products?

No need to worry - our shipments usually have multiple boxes and it is quite common that independendent boxes, even they are shipped at the same time, arrive separately. You should expect the second box arriving within the next 1-2 days.
