Your Complete Guide to Buying a Bed

Congratulations! You've stumbled upon the ultimate step-by-step guide to selecting the perfect bed. Ready? Let's dive right in!

1. Size Selection: Your Space and Sleepers

   Consider where your dream bed will sit snugly within your bedroom, and who it's destined for. IKEA offers a diverse range of bed frames in sizes from single to king size, including various configurations grouped under 'single' or 'double'.

2. Explore Bed Frame Characteristics

   Your choice of bed frame isn't just about supporting the mattress; it sets the stage for your nightly sanctuary. A headboard can create a dramatic focal point and provide comfort when you're sitting up. Under-bed storage options range from simple cases to built-in solutions or additional boxes.

3. Frame Materials Matter

   Think about how materials reflect your style: warm, natural wood for coziness; versatile metal for timeless elegance; or fabric upholstery for a touch of luxury and class. If space-saving is on the aga, choose bed frames with generous under-bed clearance over 20 cm.

4. Maximize Your Space with Storage Beds

   For those who live by the motto less clutter, more beauty, opt for beds with integrated storage like drawers or pull-out boxes, especially ideal for doubles where both sides can benefit from extra space beneath.

5. Foundation Matters: Mattress and Bed Frame Compatibility

   When selecting your bed frame, check the product detls to ensure compatibility with mattresses. Most double beds require a steel SKORVA midbeam to keep the mattress stable and in place this is usually included but might be packaged separately.

   Single and double bed frames often need slats for mattress support, though these are typically packaged separately or integrated into divan and wooden base spring mattresses that come with their own mattress. Make sure your mattress will fit and consider its height to mntn a balanced look with headboards, footboards, or base beds.

6. Choosing the Perfect Mattress

   Match your mattress to your new bed frame by considering size compatibility. The dimensions you choose should be in line with the product measurements provided length and width.

   Also, think about mattress height as it impacts both the aesthetics of your bedroom setup and personal comfort. If your bed is too high or low for your liking, consider cushioning options to ensure ease of access.

7. Caring For Your Investment

   Proper care exts the lifespan of your bed frame and ensures a comfortable night's sleep every day. Mattress protectors are a must as they safeguard agnst stns and dust while being easy to remove and washable we recomm washing them monthly. If your furniture includes removable covers, keeping these clean is key.

   Regularly checking for loose screws in your bed frame is also crucial. Should you find any missing slats or brackets, no need to fret; often, replacements are avlable through our spare parts service.
