The Lycksele sofa bed from Ikea

Anybody has experience with this one and the most expensive mattress (Havet) for it? I want to go from my teenage single bed () to something for two, but don't really have space in my little apartment for a proper double bed.

Is the Havet mattress really suited for sleep every night? I already have back problems and a new bed can't make them worse.

the question is what kind of slatted frame it has. the mattresses from ikea aren't that bad (if you don't take the thin ones) but the frames mostly suck. especially that "built it yourself" frame.

The mattress is 10cm:

Here's what the frame looks like:

My current bed, which is actually a guest bed, has the same slats.

I do not have a that sensitive back, but I know that in the long run this would cause problems for me ..

If space is of concern, take a look at

I'm not sure of pricing but the stuff is amazing!

Unpopular here.

Went to Ikea to have a look at the sofa bed again. The two better mattresses are suitable for everynight use, slats can be replaced, but the length of the bed is only 1,88m instead of the standard 2m. There are no head- and footboard though.

well.. it's fucking SWEDISH, so you can expect it to be crap.

Sorry, hit the button a couple of times.

Paws, if I understand you, you're saying the sofa bed is only 180 long? That's too short. I wonder if there's a furniture builders' guild or something that you could contact to ask for various names of retailers or manufacturers?

Sokker, are you a teenager going through a rebellious streak, with two Swedish parents to buck against? Try to control your racism - you're not at home now, but in an International forum. Show some respect. I would normally wait to write this, but twice you've made derogatory comments about other nationalities that I have read, and it's two times too often. Gosh, it's like watching Patrik 1,5!

The Beddinge apparently is more popular:

It's bigger in its sofa state, because the folding mechanism is different and I'm not sure if it fits into my apartment. Upside: it's 2m long and the mattress doesn't have any horizontal foldings.

Why can't I just inherit a mansion with fivethousand bedrooms?

When I lived in a bachelor apartment, I had a really good bed and then had bolsters and pillows made so that it could be used as a sofa/divan a la mid east.

Do not buy a crap bed.
