Hemnes Daybed (Ikea)

[nostaples]

Hi, wondering if anybody owns one and if so, can you vouch that it is actually comfortable a) as a single bed and b) as a double. Would not be used constantly but could be used for days/ weeks at a time sporadically if that makes sense. Thanks in advance.

We have one but it's got a normal mattress on it, not the doubled over one...

Its comfortable we had two single mattresses not a double, we got the more expensive ones so it was comfortable, stacked them on top of each other when using as a single.

We've got one, our 4 year old sleeps on it and he's comfortable enough, but I'm not sure I'd put an adult on it for more than a few nights, unless you buy a better mattress for it.

My son slept on it for years as a normal bed.

It’s absolutely fine as a single, but as a double I would suggest a mattress topper. It’s not bad but it is a bit thin and a topper makes it more comfy

We used to have one for dd. I slept on it a few times - OK but not the best.
You'd definitely need a better mattress for it though.

We have one, we got good quality mattresses and it's a pretty good bed. I wouldn't get the normal thin fold over mattresses with it.

My son has one as his regular bed. He likes it. If I was going to use inevitable would buy better mattresses. It comes with horrid, sweaty foam things.

I had it as a normal bed for over a year and found it very comfortable - when open (single layer mattresses and when closed (doubled up mattresses). I like the large size and the fact that OP did not disturb me.

Now my DC has it.

It depends which mattresses you choose- the bed itself is fine.

When you put two good single mattresses on it makes the day bed rather high for a single. If you have room to store a topper, get two thinner mattresses. If you have room to store a spare mattress behind it, then get thicker ones.

It's heavy- the wheels dented and tore our vinyl flooring- but it's versatile and works well.

Ooh, thank you all. Can you get standard mattresses to fit it though?

IKEA mattresses will fit best- I think they are a touch longer than a standard mattress. Also they come in a range of clearly marked thicknesses so you know what you are getting!

I have one, only ever used as a single by my 80+ year old dad when he visits.

The only problem he has had is that he is used to a headboard and misses that.

I didn't get the most basic mattresses, but I didn't get the most expensive either.

A friend borrowed just the mattress when she had friends staying and had no problems.

We have them in the DC's bedrooms. They both have the double up of the single mattresses for ease when converted to a double. Nobody has complained about them being uncomfortable.
The beds are not a standard size from what I remember with getting bedding to fit - I think they are a little narrower so standard mattresses would be too wide
