Good but Squeaky ChansoukThe first night I slept in this bed, every tiny movement caused the wood to squeak. I quickly read reviews and found that other people were having the same issue even after tightening all the screws.
Solution: buy self-adhesive felt pads, cut them up, and apply them where the bed frame and mattress support meet. Where wood comes into contact with wood. I cut them up, applied the felt pads, reinstalled my mattress, no longer squeaky.
Other than the squeaky, bed has been great! Hoping I don’t run into any issues with the foot boards breaking. 4

after 6 months terrible noiseJosé OtávioI bought this bed frame a few months ago, and although it looks nice and was easy to assemble, it makes a lot of noise every time we move. Even small movements cause creaking and squeaking sounds, which can be quite annoying at night. I’ve checked all the screws and connections, but the noise persists. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend this model unless IKEA improves its stability and reduces the noise.1
Solid mattress frame for a good priceJohnEasy to assemble, works well, good rest. Recommended for both young folks looking for their first adult mattress and also us older folks looking for our last and final rest. 5
Broke in half within a few weeksCaitlinDO NOT BUY! This is a failed product design that needs to be discontinued. The footboard of the bed snapped in half a few weeks after we assembled and started sleeping on it. I'm 165 lbs, my husband is 180 lbs, neither of us are particularly large people. It broke when I sat on it, there was no jumping or anything. IKEA replaced the broken frame and as soon as we opened it and began assembly we noticed that the exact same problem is going to happen with the new frame too. It's a design flaw. There is a stapled wood joint in the footboard made from a few extremely flimsy, splintery pieces of wood no more than 1-2" in thickness. The staples pass through a finger groove joint where the metal staples are causing the wood to splinter and ultimately break. Unfortunately this design will never be durable as long as they keep building it this way. I really wanted to like this frame, it looks lovely and I love the washable cover! :(1
No opinionPerryThe bed is junk. The first time I sat on the edge of the bed the foot board broke in half which was replaced by iKEA. We had no problems with the bed until a few weeks ago when I sat on it and once again it snapped in half. I weigh 220 lbs so that may be the problem but no the less it broke and I was hesitant to go through the processes again. So I purchased an eight foot 2x4 and reinforced the frame myself. So when I decide to replace this bed I will know to purchase a sturdier one probably somewhere else.1
