My experience is with the Malm storage bed:MALM Storage bed, white And I do love it! This bed is great for readily accessible storage of off season clothing, suitcase, Emergency Go Bag, etc. Not difficult to open.The recommendation is to use only certain mattresses with it however I suspect it has to do with weight and turning axis when opening. I chose one of the recommended IKEA mattresses in medium firm and use a memory foam topper. My guess would be that a very heavy 18″ mattress plus humans could prove too heavy for slats, causing failure.My IKEA mattress has fit USA sheets and dust mite cover exactly so I've found no discrepancy there.Also, to your point: I did use my very good condition regular mattress on the bed before giving it away due to weight.
(Excessive stuff and excessive weight in belongings is unattractive anymore.)BestWhere our store is located, we've got an Ikea nearby so, we've seen a lot of situations with their beds. You would have to judge based on how far apart the slats are from each other as, they've got a lot of different variations. If the slats are three inches or less apart from one another, you don't need a box spring. If they exceed that amount, you'll need to get one. I'm not sure where you are but we sell queen box springs (separately) for $105. It won't be a big expense. You can even do a bunkie board which is a 2 inch thick version of a box spring. Sidenote: Be sure that you have a STANDARD size bed from Ikea. I've seen some weird European sizes that they use so that you HAVE to buy your mattress from them. As far as I know, Ikea sells a full range of mattresses of every quality and every price, and they do not give any kind of warning regarding the use of which on their beds (apart some generic recommendations) - so I suppose there would be no problem to put another kind of mattress at their place.
And I am pretty sure that not every Ikea-branded mattress is built with a box spring.So, if the mattress is sufficiently padded and sturdy, it shouldn’t give you any kind of problem. If you are still in doubt, there is a trick that people used in old times (when the bedframes were old and not supportive enough): buy a sheet of real wood (that is, flexible enough), and put it between the slats and the mattress. more ads by this user QR Code Link to This Post Bed is made of solid plywood and is very sturdy. 41 x 17 x 76 inches.

There are several techniques which can be used to remove stains and keep your mattress fresh.
Try using an upholstery cleaner. Since they are made for surfaces that touch your skin (e.g. your couch), it should work unless you are extremely sensitive to cleaners in general. It also has the advantage of removing dust mites[1] and their refuse. Spray it with a citrus type cleaner and let it set for about five minutes. Rinse with cold water (hot cooks the proteins). Rub in meat tenderizer from the pantry which removes the proteins. Rinse and follow up as per rust removal to remove the iron found in the blood. You can also add in salt to plain water and pour the solution into a spray bottle. This is particularly effective in removing fresh blood stains. Create a baking soda solution. Using the same processes as above, apply it to the entire mattress, one section at a time. Launder[2] your linens frequently. If you smoke, you should do this even more often than you would on an ordinary basis. This will help keep the odor from being so pervasive. Spray the odor out.
Give your mattresses a 'suntan'. Vacuum your mattress on both sides. Mix equal parts of isopropyl alcohol and warm water. Use a common disinfectant. Blot the excess fluid as much as possible. Use an enzyme based cleaning product. Once dry, shake baking soda over it. Let it set overnight and vacuum it the next day. You can also create a mixture using 8 ounces of hydrogen peroxide and 3 tablespoons of baking soda. This works best as a spray. Make the stain remover: Mix teaspoon of water in a mixing bowl. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar, a teaspoon of laundry detergent your choice or dishwasher detergent. Add 2 tablespoons of baking soda and about 1 drop of disinfecting cleaner such as Lysol or Mr Clean. Mix it all together. Have a dry cloth handy and one to dip in solution. Sponge or blot the solution into the mattress. When done, wipe the surface with water. Apply a thin layer of baking soda on the mattress for several hours.
Vacuum up the baking soda when it has dried. Apply a proprietary anti-odor product, such as Febreze. Check if completely dry. Use a citrus cleaner or vinegar. Talk to your mattress manufacturer or local dry cleaner. Show more unanswered questions Vinegar also kills mold spores. Vacuum your mattress every month or so. This reduces the dustiness of the mattress. A dust barrier covering the mattress will reduce dust and dust mites as well. Washing bedding in hot water every week also kills dust mites. Whenever possible, blot out the extra moisture if you can. Flip your mattress once a week to allow each side time to air. This can prevent mold growth. At the very least, do this every month or so. Be careful to check if your mattress can be flipped. Some have a designated topside and won't be as comfortable upside down. Get a good mattress cover. Don't let your mattress get dirty in the first place! It's a lot easier to throw a mattress protector or mattress cover in the wash than it is to clean a mattress, so using one of these is a great time saver.
If you happen to have a Tempurpedic™ mattress with the Tempurpedic™ liquid-proof mattress cover, be advised that although this mattress cover is of very high quality, it is not highly durable and should not be washed in a machine with the sheets. Such treatment will eventually lead to tiny rips and tears, resulting in leaks and a dramatic loss in effectiveness. Instead, this mattress cover should be spot cleaned by hand or carefully inspected for leaks. It can lose effectiveness in as little as two years if not cared for properly. The two main types of waterproof mattress covers are vinyl and urethane. Both are equally good at protecting your mattress from liquids. Vinyl has the advantage of being cheaper, but it isn't breathable and can get warm at night. Urethane tends to cost more, but it breathes well allowing it to stay cool in the summer. Plus, urethane is more durable. Make sure the mattress is completely dry before remaking the bed. Rushing this step will only result in a lingering smell and possible mold, mildew and fungus.
Sometimes drying a mattress can take all day If the mold persists, it might be worth looking into a dehumidifier. This reduces moisture in the air,and inhibits mold growth. Dust mites also prefer damp climates So a dehumidifier is very good if you have dust mite allergies or asthma. Most importantly, do not lay a mattress directly on the floor in a basement room or anywhere for any length of time. If you must use a mattress on the floor, stand it up during the day to air out. Make sure you use a boxspring under the mattress or a breathable support system (similar to IKEA's slat system). Flip kids foam mattresses regular and use a waterproof cover if you have pets on your bed regularly. Note that mold will accumulate under the mattress if it is left on the floor, along with easier bug infestations. Lift all mattresses off the floor (including boxspring) a height that will allow easy vacuuming under the bed, or put it on a rolling frame to allow easy bed moving. Mold spores are bad for your lungs and contribute towards asthma.
