IKEA ÖVERMÄTT Bowl Covers: Measure the Rim Before Buying
The two-cover set serves specific diameter ranges. Check bowl fit, fridge use and drying space rather than assuming universal compatibility.

What to compare ↓
Direct answer: for bowls you already use
Consider this pair when you repeatedly cover compatible bowls at home and are willing to wash and dry the covers between uses. Skip it if your main need is a rigid, stackable lunch container. A flexible replacement lid is not automatically a complete storage system.
Use the fit ranges, not just the cover names
For article 304.979.23, IKEA specifies object diameters of 6¾–7⅞ inches and 8¼–10¼ inches. Approximate conversions are 17.1–20.0 cm and 21.0–26.0 cm. Measure the rim you want to cover; a bowl's advertised volume does not establish its diameter or rim shape.
Plan a home-storage routine
Try fitting a cover to an empty bowl before filling it. Leave room in the fridge to remove the bowl without catching the cover on nearby items. Do not assume the cover supports another heavy bowl on top, or rely on a new bowl-and-cover pairing for bag transport without checking its suitability.
Care and US/Israel identification
The covers are silicone rubber and dishwasher safe; IKEA says to dry them completely before storage. Reserve drying space for both. US buyers should match the two-piece article number rather than a different ÖVERMÄTT set. Israeli buyers should check the local pack and diameter ranges. No local offer, delivery or heating permission was verified.
Compare by how you will use it
| Your use | What to check before buying |
|---|---|
| Flexible cover versus matching rigid lid | A matching rigid lid may suit frequent stacking and transport better, depending on its design. Flexible covers are worth considering to keep using existing bowls with missing lids. |
| Two useful sizes versus a larger assortment | Count the bowls you actually cover simultaneously. A larger assortment is not better value if its sizes remain unused. |
Buying in the United States
Set your delivery ZIP code before comparing offers. Check shipping charges, taxes shown at checkout, the return window and whether a third-party seller handles fulfilment. A US retailer listing does not establish availability at your address.
