Product details
The storage space under the bed holds everything from extra duvets and pillows to seasonal clothes. Or why not the ironing board?
You can sit up comfortably in bed thanks to the high headboard – just prop some pillows behind your back and you will have a comfortable place to read or watch TV.
This versatile bed frame will look great with your choice of textiles and bedroom furniture.
It’s easy to access your things under the bed thanks to the integrated lift mechanism. Simply pull the strap and the base lifts smoothly and easily.
Base boards keep your items off the floor – helping them to stay clean and dust-free.

Not the best item of Ikea furniture I’ve assembledKennethWe have 7 kids, sent 4 through College so far. I feel I’m a fairly proficient assembler. However, this Malm bed has new locking hardware that just will not cooperate. Instructions show cams flush with outside edge. Not correct, they need to be quite countersunk. Bottom them out. I removed a locking pin (other side of fastener) to use for a locating pin. Then everything went like you expect an IKEA assembly to go.
ADD MORE COLORS!!VickyI wish this came in a natural wood color
"So far so good."Felix“So far, I’m very satisfied with the product. The delivery to my home was exceptional—smooth and right on time. I’d absolutely recommend IKEA to anyone close to me.”
Bed color frame very nice Nick Nice color, easy to put together
Storage!!!!MariaLove this!
Great storage solution - careful not to overfill it though!MikeOnce TaskRabbit put the bed together, it works exactly as expected and looks great. It’s quite heavy - i can barely move it on carpet, but otherwise it does what you’d expect very well. Just be careful to keep stored items low enough that they don’t impact the bed slats which you will feel through the mattress above if there’s too much stuff below.
bad designMeganQuality is nice, but because of where the inside hardware is placed you lose about 1/3 of the storage space, which was the whole point. Very poor design.
This is the best bed ever!! JaimieIf you have teens this is the best solution I have ever found. In fact both my kids loved these storage beds so much they came back and took them to college after they realized they couldn’t live without them. I had to then buy more of these beds for my house.
They hold so much stuff and when you open the bed it’s all there laid out where it can easily be seen. They lift up so nice and easy and make organization so much better!!
Great bed with spacious storageLeilaVery happy with my purchase. I assembled the bed by myself (female) and took a long time, but it is worth the effort. Instructions can be a little unclear, but if you pay attention you should be fine. Very nice looking bed, and I could fit a lot of stuff underneath the bed. The only thing I think they can improve is the thickness of the base board, but it’s still pretty good. Would recommend.
Great for tiny bedroomsShaneIn a bedroom that's too small for under-bed drawers on both sides, this bed is the perfect solution. Assembly looked daunting and took longer than most IKEA products, but wasn't difficult for one person to accomplish. The tilt mechanism works smoothly and is easy to use.
L-O-V-E IT!AgnieszkaI love, love this bed. It takes time to assemble (follow the instructions) but it's worth it. It has huge amount of space for storage. Keep in mind that the storage under the mattress gets dusty so it needs regular cleaning, but it's really useful. You can keep your whole collection of sheets and pillows and quilts and whatever else you use in there.
The bed opens easily, but there's one thing you should be mindful of. When you find that your bed is stuck and won't budge and open, press it down and pull the strip that's supposed to open it. It works every time. What happens is that sometimes stuff gets on top of the inside hinges that hold up the bed frame and that creates upward pressure preventing you from opening the bed. That's why when you gently press down on the bed, get rid of that upward pressure you're able to open the bead as it should open. It's a really great bed.
Absolute nightmare to assemble.CalebI used to assemble furniture professionally for a couple of furniture stores and i have usually never had a problem with Ikea in general. I always use the directions, but some things are so easy I don't even need them! But this is and has been a nightmare. I am not even halfway through assembly and I have a dent in my headboard, the directions do not clearly mark the top and bottom part of the metal frame even though IT IS CRITICAL and they are DRASTICALLY DIFFERENT. nightmare purchase. Honestly considering disassembly and returning.
Is IKEA getting worse? JennaI bough this bed less than a year ago and two drawers have completely come apart and now I have to spend $80 on new ones. IKEA is getting more expensive while the quality of their stuff is getting worse. I don’t recommend this bed in any way.
Not an Inch of Wasted Space!GinaThere is so much wasted storage space under every regular bed. This bed changes all of that! Every inch under this bed is usable space. Better than drawers. This bed was easy to put together, and the tools needed were provided. The finishes are top quality. My guests are amazed when I tell them this is an IKEA bed. Now I just need a taller one in a California King size!
Still amazing after 5 years!LoriI purchased this Malm white queen storage bed for my daughter in 2020 and it's been the perfect storage solution with the modern, clean design we love. Like all IKEA products, the assembly was straightforward, but you MUST follow the instructions step-by-step, or you can find yourself doing rework. The mechanisms for the hydraulic lift work smoothly. Depending on the mattress you have (we have a Tempur-Pedic, which are heavy), it can be a bit of a challenge to start the lift process, but once you get it in motion, it glides like a dream! We keep extra pillows, blankets and duffle bags underneath, so we don't have to access them often. The slats hold the mattress firmly in place and after 5 years, the bed is still perfectly quiet....no squeaking!
We are now relocating it into a guest bedroom and are hoping to get many more years out of it. I would highly recommend this bed for it's clean, simple look and functioning design.
Quality has declined a lot over the yearsRajkumarI owned a MALM bed since 2009, and its still intact and was much better in terms of quality as compared to this bed. The hydraulic mechanism is Ok, You can feel the cheapness in the quality as you open and close the hydraulic. I used to bat for ikea products in the past, but last few products from Ikea including this bed has eroded that confidence. Ikea is just looking at making profits by increasing the price and decreasing the overall quality of the products.
hydraulic lift mechanism not working.Anonymous reviewerI bought this bed in july, very bad experience with ikea.bed is nice and storage is spacious that's why we bought this bed but when we assemble it bed doesn't go down means hydraulic mechanism not work so we call ikea customer service ,she told me to go ikea store they have it. when we go they say they don't have it .we call again customer service she told me we ship to you,waited for a month and call again same answer we ship to you but never get it.it's been more than 5 months still not get it.
Lots of Space Anonymous reviewerThis bed is very spacious. It has a really roomy storage. I bought a queen size and a full size bed. I would recommend this bed if you need extra more room or space to store your stuff.
AMAZING Bed! But NO King Size?!!!KaduThis bed is amazing! It looks great and It gives a great storage space with easy access.. and the long foot on the sides gives a great support for the structure of the bed. I have it for years and the bed still super strong even after two movings....
But No King Size??? Why not??
I want to buy this bed again but KING SIZE!!!!
Bed does not work for usPerryThis bed was professionally assembled. The bed is very heavy to lift up. It does not stay up. If you want to put items in the storage you need 2 people. One to hold it up and another to load.
I called customer service and he was very kind but I will not take down the bed and return

Material
What is constructed board?
We use constructed boards when manufacturing many of our pieces of furniture, such as tables and wardrobes. They are light yet still stable and strong. Each board has a frame made of chipboard, fiberboard or solid wood, while the inside is a honeycomb filling structure made of mostly recycled paper, which is extra durable thanks to its special construction. The board is then covered with a protective paint, foil or veneer depending on the style wanted.
Function solution
Extra storage that won't take up extra space
MALM storage bed lets you turn the space you already use for sleeping into a smart place for storing. The gas piston and spring system make it easy and safe to open and close the bed without putting strain on your back. And that means you don't have to be super strong to get some super storage.
