Where can I find IKEA beds in Ireland?

IKEA’s presence in Ireland centres on its store in Dublin, which stocks the full bed frame range.

IKEA’s double bed frames come in two main material categories: wood and metal. Many models also incorporate storage, making them practical for smaller bedrooms.

Double bed frames

• Wooden frames: includes styles like MALM and BRIMNES, often with storage options (IKEA Ireland – Beds & Bed Frames).
• Metal frames: lighter and more minimalist, such as MANDAL (IKEA Ireland – Beds & Bed Frames).
• Frames are sold separately or with a mattress bundle.

Double beds with storage

• IKEA storage beds include platform beds with drawers, and ottoman beds (IKEA Ireland – Storage Beds).

• Example: SLÄKT with underbed bed and two drawers (IKEA Ireland – Storage Beds).

Double beds with mattresses

• IKEA sells bundles combining frame and mattress, simplifying the purchase (IKEA Ireland – Beds & Bed Frames).
• Mattress firmness varies: firm, medium, and soft options.

What IKEA single bed frames are offered?

Single bed frames from IKEA are designed for children and adults, with a range of materials and colours that fit smaller rooms.

Single bed frame materials

• Available in wooden (e.g., MALM, SLÄKT) and metal (e.g., MANDAL) (IKEA Ireland – Beds & Bed Frames).
• Upholstered options exist but are less common in single size.

Single bed sizes and styles

• Standard single size (90×200 cm) with some models in small single (80×200 cm) (IKEA Ireland – Bed Size Guide).
• Styles include classic, modern, and loft (raised) for extra floor space.

Single beds with underbed storage

• Single storage beds are popular for kids’ rooms requiring extra space.

How do IKEA bed frames compare to JYSK beds?

Both IKEA and JYSK sell bed frames in Ireland, but their offerings differ in scope and detail. IKEA’s Irish site provides dedicated categories for frame types and storage, while JYSK’s JYSK Ireland home page (home furnishings retailer) presents a broader but less specialised bedroom selection.

Price comparison

• IKEA frames range from affordable (€50–€500) depending on style and storage.
• JYSK’s prices are less transparent online — specific frame prices were not detailed in this review (JYSK Ireland home page).

Quality and materials

• IKEA offers wooden, metal, and upholstered frames with clear material specifications (IKEA Ireland – Beds & Bed Frames).
• JYSK also sells wooden and metal frames, but Irish product pages lack the same depth of information.

Warranty and assembly

• IKEA bed frames come with a 1–10 year warranty depending on model (IKEA Ireland – Beds & Bed Frames).
• Assembly is required for most IKEA frames, with online guides available.
• JYSK’s warranty terms and assembly requirements were not specified in this comparison.

What IKEA bed frames include storage?

IKEA’s storage bed range is built around space-saving designs, with three main mechanisms: underbed drawers, platform drawers, and ottoman lift-up storage. The IKEA Ireland – Storage Beds category (dedicated storage page) describes these as “platform beds, platform beds with drawers, and ottoman beds”.

Underbed storage frames

• Drawers slide out from under the base, e.g., BRIMNES with 4 drawers (YouTube – BRIMNES Tutorial).
• SLÄKT includes an extra bed that pulls out, plus two drawers for bedding (IKEA Ireland – Storage Beds).

Drawer storage

• Platform beds with drawers integrate the storage directly into the frame structure.
• Assembly requires attention to left/right-specific components, as seen in BRIMNES drawer hardware (YouTube – BRIMNES Tutorial).

SLÄKT bed frame example

• SLÄKT is a wooden frame with underbed pull-out bed and two drawers (IKEA Ireland – Storage Beds).
• Ideal for guest rooms or kids who need an extra sleeping spot.

“Under this bed frame there is an extra bed and 2 drawers for the duvet and pillow.”

“Storage beds are space-saving furniture designed to maximise bedroom floor area.”

IKEA beds in Ireland offer a practical, well-documented range of frames and storage options, but they come with trade-offs. For most shoppers, the decision hinges on whether you value variety and transparency (IKEA) or prefer a simpler, possibly cheaper alternative (JYSK). The catch: IKEA’s slatted-base policy and assembly demands mean the final price and effort may exceed the initial sticker. For Irish buyers renting or downsizing, the space-saving potential of a storage bed is real — but only if you’re comfortable with a few hours of building.

When selecting a double bed for an Irish home, the IKEA double bed sizes in Ireland helps clarify the difference between EU and local sizing.
