If you are looking for an Ikea bed with great elegance and simplicity, it is hard to go past the Ikea Malm. At only $199, the Malm is great value for a well designed piece of furniture. The Malm bed is best suited for rooms that need a neutral colored bed, as the only color options in this case are white and black. This bed is designed to allow your mattress to sink into the bed frame, thus preventing movement and slipping from the mattress. Hiding the mattress in this way also helps the Malm achieve a minimalistic look.
The bed has a high solid headboard, and this will prevent loose items from slipping behind and under the bed. As with all Ikea furniture products, the Ikea Malm requires assembly. In this case, the bed must be assembled by at least two people, so make sure you have a friend on hand when you put this bed together.
An Ikea bed with a very interesting design is the Ikea Hemnes bed. The Hemnes is a bed and and chest of drawers rolled into one piece of furniture. The bed sits on top of the drawers, and the bed is enclosed by three high walls of wood. This leaves just one side open for entry into the bed. Hence, this particular bed is offered only as a single bed. The Hemnes is quite expensive for a single bed, usually selling for around about $600. However, when you consider the fact that you get a chest of drawers included with the bed, the price does not seem so high after all.
Another reason for the high cost of the Hemnes bed is the fact that it can be used for several other purposes. Because three sides of the bed are enclosed, the bed can be used as a sofa or couch. This is particularly useful if you need to get some kind of bed for guests that does not take up too much room in your home.
Thus, you could consider this bed as an alternative to an Ikea futon. The difference between this bed and a futon is that this bed does not fold out into a larger piece of furniture. As with the Malm, the Hemnes needs to be assembled, but it does not require the use of two people.
