Ikea Unveils 44-Piece PS 2026 Collection, Adding Home Office Designs and 2 Sleepover Beds

May 14 marks the in-store launch of Ikea’s 10th PS collection, a 44-item lineup built around “playful functionality” and led by home office furniture and flexible seating.
Two convertible sleepover pieces anchor the range: a retro chair-bed that shifts from seat to recliner to full-length bed, and a sofa-bed designed to sleep two.
Several standout designs emphasize transformability, including a lamp with 45-degree swivel points, a fold-flat four-seater desk, and an analog height-adjustable stool tested in prototype by designer Mikael Axelsson’s children.
A rocking pine bench required repeated engineering fixes after early versions collapsed, with Ikea ultimately strengthening the rockers by reversing and gluing the wood grain instead of adding metal.
The PS line, first launched in 1995 as Ikea’s lower-cost design-focused series, returns for its 10th edition with online sales starting May 22.
