Along the Bursali bed frame, IKEA recommends the matching Brusali nightstand to complete the set in your bedroom. As far as mattresses go, the most recommended one is the Haugsvar spring mattress. However, if you prefer foam mattresses or some other model of spring mattresses, you don’t have to worry because this bed frame is designed to support them all.

The Skorva midbeam is included in the price of the bed frame itself, but you will have to pick it up from a different shelf in the IKEA store. However, if you are shopping online, the midbeam will be included in the package without you having to look for it and purchase it separately.
