After 4 years, this is what I think of the IKEA HEMNES Daybed

Popular questions: 1. Can you extend the bed partially to fit a double mattress? Yes, you don't need to extend the base all the way, it's very fluid. 2. Can you use a regular twin mattress instead of the stackable mattress? Yes definitely just make sure the length fits and you are using twin not twin XL.

Why cant all YouTube videos be like thi.s. Very informative, very well filmed, No silly effects, No crazy music and not starting with "Whats going on" or "Whats Up YouTubers". Thank you for taking the time I really got alot out of this video. :-)

its 1 am and what am I doing with my life

Even with a standard bed matress it is recomended to rotate the mattress every 6 months for even wear. just fyi

I bought this bed when my son was 3 years old , I wanted him to grow with it . He often used it as a king when his cousins came over ,he is 18 now and I just got rid of it last weekend .it served as well .😂

Hey! I'm Ryan Little. Thank you so much for featuring my music in your video! I'm honored :D

Re: Assembly It took 2 lesbians 1.5 hours to put this bed together, and it wasn't complicated, however we're IKEA veterans and had a downloaded PDF on our phones that we could zoom in on, rather than going off the print which can at times feel blurry. - All in all it wasn't challenging but it needed 2 people.

To be honest, it doesn't matter which kind of matress you are using, it is always a good thing to flip them over every other week. This includes for really high quality ones!

I’ve heard that the mattresses pair really well with the IKEA mattress toppers. I’ve read reviews from ikea that the foam mattresses alone are just ok but with the toppers are a massive improvement!

i dont even know why this video was recommended but god was it interesting

I'm not even looking for a good day bed but I still enjoyed this video very much. Great work :-)

This is by far one of the most helpful well made videos I have ever come across YouTube or otherwise. I am interested in getting this daybed for the living space look yet functional sleeping space and you answered all my questions. Thank you. You are awesome!

I have that bed in my office. 5 full-sized bed pillows along the back and sides, and then 6 throw pillows in front of them. My guests have a choice of how firm a pillow they want to use, which they all seem to love. I bought one of the more expensive mattresses, and everyone comments that it's an amazingly comfortable mattress, though I haven't ever slept in it as a bed (fell asleep on it as a couch a couple of times, and hadn't meant to). I use the drawers for my linen storage. Overall, I love it and think it's one of the best IKEA purchases I've ever made. Pricey, but WORTH it!

When I first bought this daybed, about 8 years ago, I thought that the mattresses were very comfortable. I'm only 5 feet tall, so I only bother pulling it out when a friend stays over, which means I normally use both mattresses on top of each other. When they started sagging, my back really hurt. I found that moving them frequently helped. They will go back to their original shape, if you don't keep sleeping/sitting on the same area all the time. (Unless the design has changed since 2015) I think it's sitting that does it, tbh. Also, you can machine wash the mattress covers to freshen them. When I moved to a new flat, I did the same as Tina and got the removers to take the daybed apart and put it together again. This is the only piece of furniture I've not been able to put together myself. And it's definitely a two person job, at least! As my new studio flat is much bigger, i was able to get my IKEA double bed out of my parents' garage, so the daybed is mostly used as a settee now. I use it all the time because I need to have my legs raised and supported. I have big cushions that I find better for my back than sitting on a chair, so my experience is different from Tina's here. But I do wish that it didn't have the lip at the top of the backrest, as it would make it easier to get comfortable! I would recommend this daybed, as mine has lasted well, but I think that the metal ones could be easier and lighter, which could be a consideration, especially if you think that you might need to move a few times.

My HEMNES bed was 10yrs old when I sold it and Guess what? I bought back the same HEMNES design haha. Really loved the Daybed so I wanted to make sure I have a new one that can last me many years again. But there’s a huge difference in size with the new one now. It’s now 10cm shorter at the width and longer at the length. I think it’s to help accommodate the taller people situation like what Tina pointed out. I got 2 spring mattresses so I don’t have any back problems sleeping in it for that many years (got new spring mattresses later on when I realised the old mattresses don’t fit the new bedframe anymore) but the only drawback was that the stacked mattresses got pretty high... I have to kinda climb onto the bed lol. Of course when family or friends came for a sleepover the stacked mattresses became a normal height pulled out.

My mum just bought me this bed and we are assembling it today!😁I’m so excited😂

Thank you for taking the time to do this review! I’m thinking about getting it for my daughter’s room that can also be good for sleepovers or if we have company in. This helped me a lot!
