Description of double beds
Ikea is renowned for its foresight, so even beds from the same series differ in functional details, finish colors and bed sizes.
Today, as part of the Malm line, the store offers the following double beds.
- The simplest and most inexpensive option is a bed with a slatted bottom “Lura” and a sleeping bed width of 160 cm. The cost of such furniture is about 13 thousand rubles. The price does not change depending on the color.
- The option with 4 under-bed drawers for linen will cost 22 thousand rubles. If you want to purchase a bed with a wider bed 180 cm wide, then the cost will increase by only 1000 rubles.
- Bed “Malm” with a lifting mechanism (the bed of the bed can be raised, and bedding orother things) is a very practical option. The width of the bed here can vary from 140 to 180 cm. Such a bed will cost 33 thousand rubles.
- Sleeping furniture with two drawers under the bed and with a slatted bottom “Leirsund” or “Lonset”. Such options will cost 22 and 26 thousand respectively.
The following colors are available for the Malm series: white veneer, bleached oak, brown ash stain, black-brown. It is convenient that underbed boxes do not have to be purchased immediately. You can buy them later when you need them.
Another important point when choosing a bed is the slatted bottom. For the Malm series of such components, three options have been created:
- Leirsund is the most expensive choice. Birch slats can adapt to body weight, and several pieces can be independently adjusted for stiffness.
- “Lonset” - the bottom of the bed of the middle price category. The birch veneer here is bent glued, able to increase the elasticity of the bed.
- Luroy is the cheapest option. Multi-layered birch slats can adjust to body weight.
Choose the appropriate "Malm" option based on the width of the sleeping bed, the type of slatted bottom, the color of the veneer, the number of underbed drawers, and the presence of a bottom lifting mechanism.
