Hello everyone,

I am planning to convert an Ikea Hemnes into a sofa bed and am looking for a detailed guide on how to do this. It is important for me to have a step-by-step explanation on how to modify the sofa so that it is stable and comfortable to use as a bed.

Does such a guide already exist, or do you have any tips on the best approach, what tools are needed, and any special considerations to keep in mind for the Hemnes model?

I would greatly appreciate any detailed advice and shared experiences!

Make sure the frame rests securely and stably on the existing guides or side panels.

Thanks for the tip!

One question: Are these guides included as standard with the Hemnes, or would I need to install them myself? I haven’t unpacked the furniture yet and only know the internal structure from the pictures.

I don’t want to just place a slatted frame loosely somewhere — stability and durability are important to me.

Does anyone have experience with how the seat support is fixed, or how to best create stable support battens?
