Hello everyone, some time ago I bought an IKEA Brimnes bed, and unfortunately, a part of it is now damaged. Before I have to replace the entire piece of furniture, I would like to know the average cost of spare parts for the Brimnes model. Specifically, I am interested in prices for components such as slatted bed bases, headboard and footboard lighting, as well as the drawers. Does anyone have experience with the costs or know how IKEA prices their spare parts? Any advice would be appreciated!

I bought the drawer slides for about 15 euros per set. The LEDs for the headboard cost around 30 euros. Ordering directly from IKEA usually provides a faster and more reliable solution. With third-party suppliers, you often risk compatibility issues.

I would always recommend ordering directly from IKEA! 😉 Sure, the prices are reasonable and you have the assurance that everything fits properly. In my experience, cheaper was rarely better – often the rail didn’t fit correctly or the LEDs broke quickly. So, it’s better to invest a little more and enjoy your furniture!

Apart from the price, you should also consider the effort involved in retrofitting when it comes to spare parts. For example, with drawer runners, it is worthwhile to choose a well-fitting solution since the part is regularly subjected to stress when opening and closing. In the case of defective LEDs, depending on the model, it may be necessary to replace the entire light strip—not just a single bulb. The spare part prices for Brimnes are generally quite reasonable, but you should also allow time and patience. Small repairs make a difference—and later on, you’ll feel like a DIY pro! ?

An addition regarding the LED components: Sometimes the individual light strips are not available separately, and IKEA only offers replacements as a set. Prices usually range between 30 and 45 euros. Therefore, always check carefully before purchasing whether you need individual parts or complete sets.

Drawer slides cost about 15 euros per pair. LEDs are around 30 to 40 euros. Buying directly from IKEA is recommended.
