All About A Hemnes Day Bed
An IKEA hemnes day bed may be an ideal solution for you if you need sofa type seating and sleeping area in the same space. The hemnes day bed frame is a white wood frame that can be placed in a guest room, multi-purpose room, college dorm room, or child’s room. For day time use it can be decorated with coordinating pillows, bolsters, and cover for comfortable seating that also adds sparkle to the room. At night and for guests it becomes a comfortable twin bed or double twin bed.
The hemnes twin day bed has storage drawers under the bed that also serve as a rollout trundle bed, thereby doubling the sleeping space. The mattress for the trundle can be stored on top of the primary day bed mattress. A regular twin size mattress will not fit the day bed. IKEA advises buying foam mattresses made to fit the day bed. If the IKEA hemnes day bed you purchase is going to be in a child’s room and you do not want to purchase two mattresses, you could use an air mattress for the trundle when used for a friend spending the night. The air mattress can be stored in one of the storage drawers.
A child who is moving from a toddler bed to a “real” bed might really like the IKEA hemnes day bed. The back of the bed could provide the secure feeling that the bed rails around a toddler bed provided. Having a special trundle for a friend’s sleep over is an added bonus.
The hemnes day bed frame comes with the slating which forms the platform on which the mattress rests. It is made of fiberboard and finished with acrylic paint. The drawers are made of particleboard and melamine foil. The bottom frame is solid pine. It must be assembled, but someone with a few basic skills in working with assembly should be able to do it in a short time. Mattress need to be purchased separately and are available at IKEA, as are the bedding accessories.
Care instructions for an IKEA hemnes day bed are simple. Using a mild cleaner, wipe off with a damp cloth. Use a clean cloth to wipe dry.
The length of the hemnes day bed is 78 ¾ inches. It is 41 inches wide and 33 7/8 inches high. The mattress is 74 ½ inches long and 38 ¼ inches wide.
The hemnes day bed cost is $399, which includes the day bed frame with three drawers. For products purchased at your local IKEA store, delivery can be arranged for same day, next day, or next week.
