Hello everyone,
I have an important question that I would like to discuss here with experienced forum members. I recently purchased the Ikea Brimnes bed and currently live in a rental apartment where drilling holes in the walls is not easily allowed.
Therefore, I am looking for good, non-damaging mounting alternatives to securely and stably fix the Brimnes bed in my apartment without damaging the walls or violating the rental agreement. This mainly concerns options for wall mounting the bed frame as well as securing any attached shelves or headboards, which are often fixed with plugs or screws.
Who has experience or suggestions on how to safely mount the Brimnes bed in a rental apartment without damaging the walls? For example, clamp or rail systems, freestanding constructions, or other alternative installation methods?
I look forward to your ideas and to a constructive discussion!

- Use of ceiling tension rods (also called telescopic poles): These can be clamped between floor and ceiling to stabilize the headboard.I find this tip very helpful. Additionally, I recommend taking advantage of the solidity and weight of the Brimnes bed by positioning it so that it leans against a load-bearing wall and securing it with heavy furniture beside it.
This not only makes the bed more stable but also eliminates the need for additional installations.
Moreover, these measures are reversible and ideal for rental apartments.

This is mainly about the options for wall-mounting the bed frame and also securing any shelves or headboards that might be installed, which are often fixed with anchors or screws. Regarding shelves or headboards: If you cannot properly secure them to the wall, I recommend freestanding options or a leaning method, meaning the shelf is leaned against the bed or another stable support. This greatly reduces the risk of tipping over.

By the way, these tension rods that you place between floor and ceiling are also very practical. I can only agree with that. Especially in rental apartments, telescopic tension rods are a very elegant solution. They leave no marks and can support a good amount of weight.
Important: Above all, check if your ceiling structure is stable enough to bear the load. Not every ceiling can hold strong telescopic supports.
I hope this gives you a bit more confidence in making your decision.
