Questions

How do I tell the slats apart?

There are 13 short slats for the pull-out base, 12 long ones for the bed and 2 narrow side rails. The manual shows each set with the other crossed out: if a slat does not drop in between the slat holders, it is the wrong length.

Why does the frame have to be lifted to push the base in?

The stop plates on the front ends of the side rails hang down inside the base, behind its front board. Lift the front of the frame a little so they clear the base, push it in, and let the frame down.

How does it become a double bed?

Pull the base out: IKEA says it then makes a 160 × 200 cm bed with two 80 × 200 mattresses. It is not to be used as two single beds.

What tools do I need?

A flat screwdriver for the cam locks, a cross-head screwdriver for the screws and cam bolts, and a hammer for the studs, as the manual shows. The hex key for the long bolts is in the box.

Which screws go where?

The short 100347 screws are for the runners only; the 116894 screws hold the slat holders, the stop plates, the side rails and the slats; the 109060 screws hold the front rail. Each page shows the one to use with the other crossed out.

Safety

From the manual: never stand on an open drawer, and do not sit on the frame before the base is in. Stand the whole day-bed on a rug or off it, not half on. IKEA says it is not to be used as two single beds; re-tighten the screws and fittings when needed.

About this guide

The steps, the part numbers, the counts and the order come from IKEA's assembly manual AA-1913852-7 (2018-07-12). The outer size, 209 × 89 × 83 cm, is IKEA's published size. The day-bed’s size and the drawers’ insides are IKEA’s; the boards’ thickness, the rails, the slats and where the holes are, are read off the manual’s drawings, so they are close, not measured. The 3D runs faster than real hands do.

IKEA says it takes two 80 × 200 cm mattresses; pulled out it is a 160 × 200 cm double bed, and it is not to be used as two single beds. The drawers are 55 × 70 × 20 cm inside.

The manufacturer's instructions are on IKEA's product page (PDF). If something here differs from the manual in your box, follow the manual.

The 3D models, drawings and text are our own. IKEA and HEMNES are named only to say which product this guide is for.
