Can you use a normal mattress and boxspring on an Ikea bedframe?

Question

I have a queen size mattress and boxspring and I wanted to get an ikea bedframe, but it looks like they sell special mattresses with them (that dont look all the comfortable) and I was just wondering if anyone uses a normal set with an ikea bedframe or knows if theres a reason you wouldn't be able to?

Thanks so Much!

Answer 1

I have an Ikea bed and I have a mattress from a good mattress store. They work well together. I purchased a low Japanese style bed from them so I don't need the box spring but the mattress fits perfectly in the space! It works and I love it, hope that helps!

Answer 2

Some of Ikea's beds do not fit standard bedding.  Measure carefully.  There is no one size fits all answer.

Also, have you purchased Ikea's furniture before?  You should know that it does not hold up well at all - to usage or even to the pasage of time.  It warps, veneers pop off and chip, draws do not function....  The style is cool, but you can do better - at similar value pricing.
