One of those ways is the fact that most of their products need to be assembled, which saves money on shipping and laborers. Without further ado, in this review, we will present you the Hemnes bed frame from IKEA.

IKEA Hemnes Bed Frame Review

Structure

The center support beam of the Hemnes bed frame is made of galvanized steel while the mid frame is solid pine covered with clear acrylic lacquer, making for a great, full wood support. This frame is made of durable and natural material.

The product requires assembling which may take up to a few hours, depending on how familiar you are with putting furniture together. The Hemnes bed frame is adjustable, meaning it can be made to suit differently sized mattresses.

What goes well with it

As usual, IKEA recommends a set of products with each bed frame on their site. What goes well with the Hemnes bed frame is the matching Hemnes night stand and the Luroy slatted bed base. When it comes to mattresses, IKEA recommends the Haugsvar spring mattress or the Morgedal foam mattress, depending on your material preferences.

The price of the mattress includes the Skorva midbeam as well. However, if you are shopping in the store, you will need to pick up the midbeam from its separate shelf while if you are shopping online, the midbeam will be included in the delivery with the Hemnes bed frame.

If you’re looking to get some extra storage space in your bedroom, IKEA offers the Romskog storage boxes. You can fit up to four Romskog storage boxes underneath your bed to increase your storage space.

Other details and customers’ opinions

Keeping the bed frame clean is not a challenge. All it takes is wiping it with a damp cloth and a mild cleaner and drying it with another clean cloth. As far as customers’ opinions go, people are generally satisfied with this bed frame. 

While some refer to it as sturdy and stylish, others had several complaints about the noise the bed frame makes. Namely, after a few months of being used, the bed frame becomes squeaky. Keeping in mind that not all customers have this issue, the problem might come from bad assembly.

The Hemnes bed frame requires assembly and if it’s not done properly, it would cause issues such as noise and wobbling. When assembling your Hemnes bed frame, make sure you follow instructions closely.

The IKEA bed frames are covered by a 25 year limited warranty. The warranty covers all manufacturing details while any damage done by the consumer will not be covered.
