Are IKEA Beds Any Good?

[ChristmasFnatic]

Thinking of buying a new bed. Wondering if they are better than your local furniture shops cuz of European design. Or are they just like any furniture backed by a popular name?

[anonkunbrah]

Is there an IKEA within a 2 hour radius of you that you can actually go lay on them? Nothing compares to laying in them.

[N0rds]

Depends on the model.

On one of my beds I have an all pine nordic frame, which is OK but if you're fat ass would not be as sturdy as some others, as there are only 4 corner posts, like 5 or 6 on some american metal frame box spring frames

Sadly no. Just a hub where I can pick up my orders online.

I was thinking the Malm https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/malm-hi...oey-s69176285/. And no, I am not a fatty.

The one I got is pretty decent. Had it since 2022.

Medium firmness, foam material. I almost went and bought one of the many overpriced brand mattresses online. IKEA is better bang for your buck imo.

Malm is OK, as long as you're not havoc.

I actually had that bed but mine was the earlier design without the drawers. Held up extremely well for 15+years even though it's just Birch veneer on particle board. Very solid and the joints are really tight. The side tables are so-so.

Mine had the slat bottom which is goat if you don't want to buy a boxspring.

Oh nice. What happened to it? Just changed it or it broke down?

Which model?

[Krackerjacked]

Absolutely lay on them before purchasing if possible.
Years ago I was looking and had back pain, I laid on the bed I ended up purchasing and it disappeared.
Luckily I was trying out the more affordable options too.

We had a nicer bed frame, headboard and all but sold it when we downsized. We currently have an Amazon special metal platform frame and my wife ended up making a headboard as a project. Came out decent/10

There is an IKEA local to us and the furniture all looked nice enough but at that point we were just pricing everything out and already had a decent mattress so I wasn’t trying their beds out.

Sold almost all my possessions. Travelling so had no use for it.

It was still solid and in excellent condition when I got rid of it.

[buwbs]

I bought a cheap mattress not the cheapest maybe 1 or 2 up from the cheapest

Definitely nowhere near the premium mattress at probably double to triple the cost

Its ok srs then again i’m not 350lb fatcnt lol

[LethalGunz34]

The best!
































































IKEAD you not!

[r32gojirra]

Gonna have to disagree

They have this weird 2 piece slat system for the king beds which is prone to collapsing

And the mattresses are f**king terrible

Have a look at the actual slats before you buy they don’t go across the length of the bed and there’s no system for actually securing them to the side rails

[crupiea]

No . The frames and mattresses both suck.

They have a purpose though. They are inexpensive enough to get you through a few years but thats about it.

I'm positive the ikea beds are fine.

I have one of those bed in a box beds (tuft & needle), and a platform bed frame I got on amazon... both got me all the way through college and then some.
