Hello everyone,
I recently purchased an Ikea Hemnes bed and I am wondering how this model can be modified to increase comfort. I am particularly interested in practical changes or additions that can be made without negatively affecting the original stability or appearance. I am thinking about aspects such as the lying experience, mattress topper, slatted frame (or bed base), possibly soundproofing measures, or alternative fastening options to make the bed overall more comfortable. Does anyone have experience with such modifications for Hemnes beds or ideas that could specifically help improve sleep comfort? I look forward to your tips and suggestions!

Hey timro8,
great question! Hemnes beds are made of sturdy wood, but sometimes they lack that little bit of extra comfort. In your case, I would first focus on a good mattress foundation – a high-quality slatted bed base or a flexible sprung slatted frame can work wonders.
You can also add padded covers to the edges to reduce annoying creaking and make the lying experience a bit softer.
One more tip: anti-slip pads prevent the mattress from sliding and contribute to a peaceful sleep. So a bit of tuning for the Hemnes, almost like a wellness upgrade for your bed 😊.

Good morning,
I would like to add to the topic because comfort is not only about the mattress and slatted frame but also about the bed frame construction. The Hemnes bed is made of solid wood and is therefore quite rigid. If you want to modify the backrest and headboard, it might be worth considering adding upholstered head cushions. This significantly improves comfort when sitting and reading.
Equally important:
- The slatted frame support should be correctly adjusted to avoid pressure points.
- If creaking or unwanted noises are an issue, tightening and lubricating the screws usually helps.
Has anyone ever combined special comfort elements like gel mattresses or specific toppers with the Hemnes? I’m interested in how well the slatted frames work with additional layers.
I believe it’s really about a combination of frame, foundation, and mattress – all working together to provide ideal comfort.

You can also add padding to the edges to reduce annoying creaking and make the lying surface feel a bit softer.Using padding is a nice approach, but I wonder if it’s more of a cosmetic fix. I think it’s more important to fundamentally improve the frame.
For example, reinforcing the cross beams or adding an additional center support could help minimize unwanted movement and the typical creaking. This increases durability and the feeling of solidity.
Also: Has anyone ever replaced the screw fittings with higher-quality hardware? These small details often make a difference, especially in stability and, indirectly, comfort, since the bed won’t wobble anymore.
