We bought a new sofa for the house at Mandaue Foam. Mandaue Foam is a nice stop if you’re shopping for quality furniture, they even customize too. Anyway, while looking inside the store, I can’t help but notice how some of the furniture were similar to Ikea. I’ve been meaning to make an Ikea vs. Mandaue Foam feature ever since I saw the Ikea folding table in Bangkok and the one from Mandaue Foam. So just for fun, here are some of my Ikea vs. Mandaue Foam finds. I’m not sure about the copyright laws in furniture design, or if Mandaue Foam sells the actual Ikea item and just change the model name.
I first saw this Norden folding table in Ikea Bangkok, I really wanted to buy it but it’s too heavy. The table is a space-saver because the two sides can be folded when not in use. It’s around 8,000 baht. But look, Mandaue Foam has the same folding table, almost the same color too. A bit expensive than Ikea, but considering shipping, pwede na!

Nag-enjoy ako looking at the Ikea and Mandaue Foam websites and IG so here are the other look-alikes.
same wheeled sofa bed
Ladder book shelf, same design, different color. The ladder book shelf is still on sale at the Banawe branch.
The red ladder bookshelf is from Mandaue Foam’s Instagram
What can you say about these rocking chairs? I’m planning to buy this rocking chair for Nanay, cheaper than the Ikea version for only Php 2,900. Meron pa sa Banawe branch nila.

I also fell in love with the red steel cabinet in Ikea, hindi lang kasya sa maleta, hehe. Good thing Mandaue Foam has one, I just can’t find a photo with the whole steel cabinet in it. Check the encircled portion….
Nesting tables are a nice addition in the living room, I love the minimalist feel of these. Mas colorful pa yung sa MF.
The sofa we bought looks like the Klippan sofa from Ikea. Klippan is a popular model of sofa from Ikea, just look at Pinterest and you can find plenty of things you can do with it. That’s why we bought the Stace sofa in Mandaue Foam, it looks simple with its clean lines and you can change the slip cover too just like Ikea’s Klippan.
Stace sofa has a 2 seater and 3 seater option, or you can get the two. The 2-seater is Php 7,800, 3-seater is Php 9,200. We got the 2- and 3-seater, sayang lang kasi the available colors are red and blue lang, so we got the blue one. Here’s the actual sofa, we covered the 2-seater because Gwen sits there when she does arts.
need to buy throw pillows :p
There you have it, so who wore it better?….. I mean, who needs an Ikea Philippines when you can shop at Mandaue Foam? Wala nga lang Swedish meatballs and chocolates…
Seriously, if you have an any furniture design that you like, try to ask for a quotation in MF, they offer a 10-year warranty too.
Good job mare, thanks for doing this. Meron Mandaue dito sa Las Pinas, we need to buy a new sofa and dining table plus other accessories soon also.
Oo nga eh, ang saya lang din sa loob ng Mandaue Foam.
i agree na mandaue is quite affordable at siyempre philippine-made. pero i am still excited when ikea opens. but i will have to see its local prices kung masyado ba malayo sa Mandaue 🙂
10-year warranty? Seryoso???? Panalo!
I also notice na may parehong design sila sa IKEA and nag-assemble na rin sila sa bahay. We have so many stuff from Mandaue Foam, if there are no sale I use the Mandaue Card for 10% discount.
Ang ganda naman ng sofa. How much did is the set? I wonder if they have sale furnitures too.
oh wow!! I super love Ikea but because of this post, hmmm… Sige sige i’ll pay them a visit nga sa Mandaue Furniture! #excited
I’m sure you’ll find something to love sa Mandaue.
The Stace sofa that we got is 17,000 for the 3 seater and 2-seater. You can buy them separately.
I plan to get their card too next time pag may big purchases na.
Yup!
Sana nga reasonable naman ang presyo.
Wow! Thank you for doing this Mommy!
Grabe! Almost the same nga and Infairness, proudly Pinoy pa pag sa Mandaue Foam bumili.
Another wow for the 10 years warranty! 🙂
I honestly didn’t notice that they have the same furniture with Ikea!! Wow! But, I’m thinking if they would get sued from this? Anyway, I think it’s nice that can customize and the 10yr warranty’s the best! 😉
Sana may malapit sa Laguna, we are moving soon sa aming sariling bahay. I would love to have the blue sofa (stace), mejo mahal kaya pag iipunan ko na ngayon pa lang. hehe 🙂
Thanks for this, mommy!
Yes, pinag ipunan din muna namin yan 🙂 Pag may Mandaue Card ka, may 20% off pa for non-sale items. I think ang nearest sa Laguna is yung Las Pinas branch nila.
I’m not sure about the copyright or patent laws eh.
There’s Mandaue Foam here in our area and i find their prices reasonable, there are some that are really cheaper than other furniture outlets. Im always on the lookout for their sale of curtains and throw pillows.. They have colorful and unique designs too at a cheap price…
Thank you for introducing Mandaue Foam to this mommy. My mom and I love to shop for new finds for the house and this might be the perfect place for us. Love that working table 🙂
There’s a Mandaue Foam branch that’s almost beside our condo and that’s where we usually shop for everything we need at home! Super love the range of options there!
Funny timing because I just went to Mandaue Foam a couple of Sundays ago! Humabol lang sa sale. We were planning to buy a new sofa din but weren’t able to choose kasi it’s a Sunday and only the showroom was open. So I just bought new pillows and sheets.
I am also eyeing some furniture’s from Mandaue Foam. I also follow them on IG to check their latest updates.
Thanks for sharing this mommy! We were actually planning on looking for some furniture and now we can finally look through the catalogs on their website!
Nice! Dahil paasa si Ikea, might drop by Mandaue one of these days to check out what they’re offering. Thanks for sharing!
May warranty? Gusto ko yan! Hahaha! Nice sofa you got there!
I loooove it! I want to visit MF tuloy. Sayang I ordered the Raskog na, baka may counterpart sya sa Mandaue!
Yes, 10 years!
Ooooh, do you know what month sila nagse-sale? We need new curtains and throw pillows din.
Sa Cainta branch ba Kim! I want to go to that branch kasi bigger, baka mas maraming designs.
How much na lang yung sheets and pillows? We need new ones din.
Hi Chessy! I love the Raskog, especially the color <3. Hubby is looking for something similar like that too, pero Mandaue has this black trolley lang: https://mandauefoam.ph/product/fll-03-kitchen-trolley/
or this: https://mandauefoam.ph/product/dr014-multi-purpose-storage-trolley/
I’m guilty of spending hours browsing Mandaue’s website to check on the furniture haha! When we have the time and budget to renovate the kid’s room, I already have a peg of their beds. Nakakaaddict 😀
We have “plans” to renovate my folks’ house. There’s a Mandaue Foam branch near their place, we’ll check it out.
havent been to A Mandaue store yet but ive visited the site couple of times and it feels like I wanna buy almost everything that I see! ahhahh
They have a lot of similar stuff pala!
Thank you for this great idea. We are planning to replace our sofa soon and sabi mo ok ang shipping. so I”ll check Mandaue foam’s website 🙂
Nice! I didn’t know that Mandaue has many thongs to offer aside from foams. Hehe.
I would always check ikea items. Good to know that we have mandue foam that can also provide good items.
That ladder book shelf is uber love! Sana may sale sa south 🙂
At first I thought MF is all about beddings and foams lols. Anyway, I love the fact they can compete with IKEA in terms of designs and prices. I will surely check them out.
Gusto ko nyang folding table. Pwedeng home office!
