Question

Do you have to buy a new mattress for ikea furniture?

Answer 1

I brought an ikea single bed and put a normal single mattress (not ikea) on it and had about a 6 inch gap maybe even a bit bigger at the bottom. I'm sure they are slightly different in sizes  

Answer 2

If you already have a mattress and you are buying the same size bed, you should be fine.

Mattresses (and beds) in North America come in the following sizes:

Twin Mattress 39" wide x 75" long

Twin XL Mattress 39" wide x 80" long

Full Mattress 54" wide x 75" long

Full XL Mattress 54" wide x 80" long

Queen Mattress 60" wide x 80" long

Cal-King Mattress 72" wide x 84" long

King Mattress 76" wide x 80" long

King Split Mattress 76" wide x 80" long (made up of 2 sections)

Most stores carry twin, full, queen and king.

"Full" size is also called "double".

Best of luck!

Answer 3

If you don't have a mattress then I would say yes, you have to buy a new mattress for IKEA furniture. But if you already have one...why would you HAVE to buy another? All beds and such are made to certain sizes I do believe

Answer 4

That is entirely up to you.  As long as it is a standard bed size, you should be able to use your old mattress.

Answer 5

nope. you do not have to buy a new matress for ikea furniture. you can go to others stores and get the mattress. as long as the bed frame fits the matress. for example if you bought a twin sized bed frame you can go to another store and get a twin sized mattress
