The Hemnes Daybed: Versatile and Stylish
Introducing the Hemnes daybed from Ikea – the perfect solution for those seeking a guest bed that can fit in their office or any small space. What sets this daybed apart is its ability to effortlessly transform into a king-size bed. Whether you have single guests or a couple staying over, this daybed has got you covered.
Ikea offers two options for the Hemnes daybed. You can purchase the bed alone without a mattress for $399, or opt for the bundle that includes two mattresses for $657. While the choice is yours, it's worth noting that Ikea mattresses are not known for their exceptional comfort. But don't worry, we have a perfect mattress recommendation for you.
Choosing the Right Mattress
We understand that finding the ideal mattress to complement your daybed can be overwhelming. After extensive research, we found the Zinus 6-inch Green Tea cooling gel memory foam mattress to be the perfect fit. With a smaller height, it provides a comfortable seating area with a backrest when the mattresses are stacked. The dimensions of this mattress are 75"L x 39"W x 6"T, slightly bigger than the Ikea mattresses, so a little adjustment is required. However, the extra comfort is definitely worth it.

If you prefer the convenience of purchasing everything in one go, Ikea also offers twin mattresses specifically designed to fit the Hemnes daybed. These mattresses are smaller than regular twin mattresses but may not offer the same level of comfort. We recommend considering the dimensions and comfort level before making your decision.
Arranging Your Mattresses for a King-Size Bed
To create a seamless king-size bed, stack the twin mattresses vertically. This way, your guests won't have to sleep on a crack. It's a better option compared to the horizontal arrangement, which may cause the trundle to pull apart. However, if you prefer the horizontal arrangement, the Ikea mattresses are designed to fit perfectly. Just make sure to measure the width of your mattresses to ensure they fit side by side.
Storage and Bedding Solutions
One of the most appealing features of the Hemnes daybed is the storage space it provides underneath. With three deep drawers, it's the perfect solution for those in need of extra storage. You can easily store your comforter, sheets, towels, and pillows, ensuring everything you need for your guest room is within arm's reach.
When it comes to bedding, we recommend Beddy's innovative zip-up bedding. Their all-in-one pieces make bed-making a breeze, with sheets sewn in and a detachable top for easy cleaning. Choose from their high-quality fabric options such as minky or cotton for a luxurious touch.
Don't wait any longer, create the ultimate guest experience with the Hemnes daybed. Say goodbye to limited space and uncomfortable sleeping arrangements. Transform your guest room into a cozy haven that your visitors will adore. You won't regret investing in this versatile and stylish daybed.
