Deals like this one are difficult to find at IKEA, let alone in the whole furnishings market. Therefore, looking into this bed frame option is highly recommended, if you need a functional, comfortable and above all affordable bedding solution. Without further ado, here is a detailed review of IKEA’s Flaxa bed frame!

IKEA Flaxa Bed Frame Review

Structure

This children’s bed frame comes with the Luroy slatted bed base and the storage compartment included in the price, which is a great advantage. Materials used to make this bed frame include ABS plastic, paper, particleboard, fiberboard and acrylic paint, while the slatted bed base consists of beech veneer, birch veneer, and adhesive resin as a coating. The ribbon on the base is made of 100% polyester and 100$ coating.

The mattress you need to complete this bed is sold separately. IKEA has not stated whether the bed frame has adjustable sides or not, but judging by the storage compartments, it most likely does not have that feature. Therefore, before purchasing a mattress, make sure to contact IKEA or visit the store and see the bed frame for yourself.

What goes well with it

Usually, IKEA recommends a list of products that are a good match with the particular item you are viewing. For the Flaxa bed frame, they have recommended only one coordinating product and that is the matching Flaxa headboard with a storage compartment.

This convenient headboard can be mounted from both right or left side of the bed. It has a larger shelf above the pillows and a few smaller storage compartments and shelves on the side. The Flaxa headboard goes for the price of 119$ which is slightly less expensive than the frame itself.

 The Flaxa bed frame also has two large storage drawers that can fit plenty of extra storage you might have. The bed can be used with or without the storage compartment headboard. Either way, it is functional and looks nice.

There are no mattress recommendations for this bed frame, as IKEA usually does include at least one if not two mattress choices. However, to find a mattress that suits your needs, you can go through our IKEA mattress reviews to find out more about every product.

Other details and customers’ opinions

The Flaxa bed frame is a highly convenient bedding solution for kids, especially if they have a small room without much space for storage. With this bed frame, you will be able to fit plenty of storage in the drawer department while also having the option of storing items on the headboard, if you decide to purchase it.

This bed frame is available in twin size only, as that is the size mostly used for kids’ rooms. The product  is a great offer, considering that the slatted bed base is included, as well as the storage drawers.

The product requires assembly, which shouldn’t be too difficult if you follow the instructions carefully. As far as taking care of it goes, wiping it clean with a cloth and some detergent will do the job. The Flaxa bed frame comes in 2 packages, which makes it easy to transport without having to pay for the shipping service.

As usual with IKEA’s bed frames and most bedding products, the warranty is a 25 years one and covers all manufacturing defaults. Any damage done by the user will not be covered by the warranty. There is no trial period for the bed frame. However, you will have a one year trial period for any mattress you purchase at IKEA.
