The headboard itself does not attach to the bed even if you order the specific headboard from IKEA. My headboard is mounted to the wall and is Custom Made.
Give us an update 6 months in. If you sleep directly over the Drawers on both edges then you may not experience as severe sag as my experience. Both edges have a little more than 2 feet of solid surface to support a sleeper. The middle, not so much. Watch my IKEA Nordli Fix Video for more information. Thanks for supporting my channel! 👍🏻
Quick update to this. Now been about couple years. Not seeing any sagging issues so far. Bed is solid, even survived a move. Some other downsides, . Immense weight of the bed with all the drawers filled, you cant move even slightly to adjust . The mattress does keep slipping off the bed slightly and needs to be adjusted every few days - so the friction pads dont do enough . It is irritating to not have any space underneath the bed at all, I have large feet so I keep hitting the side (not relevant for everyone)
If you want to use all drawers, you can install 2 floating bedside tables on the wall or your headboard. Thank you for your review video and your fix video, you help a lot of people with it! Grtz from Belgium
Thank you for supporting my channel I'm planning to do another review eventually of this how its holding up and if I would still buy this same set. Glad I could help.
SO I'm thinking of buying this bed. I was concerned on the mattress sliding because it's a flat platform. But of all the beds I love the fact this has 3 drawers on each side that just seems more usable since I have side tables then one large drawer on each side I can use.
The mattress does not move at all. The bed comes with strips placed on the wood slats that is almost like a sandpaper that keeps your mattress in place. You have to lift the mattress up to move it. Thanks for supporting my channel and be sure to check out my other video on this bed before making your final decision. Have a great day!
Почти не разбирам английски език. Но във видеото добре са показани плюсовете и минусите на леглото. След това видео може би ще се ориентирам към друго легло. За мен лично проблемът, че едното от чекмеджетата не се отваря ако не преместите малкият шкаф до леглото, не е толкова съществен тъй като разполагаме с достатъчно други места за съхранение. По-големият проблем е това хлътване на матрака в средата, което човекът много добре е показал и обяснил. Благодарности. Поздрав от България.
"Mallam" and "Noradelli" Lol. Odd choice to get the Malm side tables and then the Nordli bed. Good to know about the design flaw. We might get this, but I'm concerned our mattress is too heavy it's a tempurpedic.
Thanks for the timestamps... these videos take a huge amount of time to film, edit, and upload. Im definitely learning along the way, so glad to see my audience helping me out and everyone that watches! Thank you for the support!
Thanks. .this video helped me decide to buy two of these beds and stack them so I have a higher platform bed with more drawers. . I like don't like low beds and need the storage. . but I wasn't sure if it was possible from the still photos from Ikea's website.
I was assuming you had a king bed because I have a queen storage nordli that I just made and it doesnt seem to have the sagging problem. Must just be the extra width of it that makes the wood have more trouble staying strong since it stretches wider. Almost a week now with the bed assembled and im happy
We didn't notice the sagging til about week 3 and by the 4th week it was all you could do not to roll towards the center of the bed. The queen bed frame is several inchs narrower, so any sag won't be as noticable. We love ours too glad you enjoy it, hope yours stays straight! Thanks for supporting my channel!
This would work too but would be considerably more expensive and you would still need to support the plywood in the center, it has a 4 foot span across. Thank you for supporting my channel!
What would happen, hypothetically, if you had a box spring with this set up? I know you wanted the low profile, but I have a box spring and was looking at potentially getting this frame. Let me know!
It would work, it just makes it higher off the floor. My mattress sits directly on the frame and measures 28 inches off the floor. Just add the thickness of your box frame and see if that meets your needs. Thanks for supporting my channel.
They needed to put an extra leg in the middle in between where the drawers’ backs meet. I have a simple wooden bed and it doesn’t do that because it has that extra leg I think 😅
Hey mate, excellent video! Just wondering does the mattress slide around much? Is there frequent movement of the mattress say when you jump onto the bed? Just worried about the lack of friction from the material which might mean having to constantly adjust it back. Cheers!
Thank you! There is no movement, the kit comes with a "sandpaper" tape that sticks directly on to the slats. Where you "stick" the mattress is where it stays. If you need to adjust the mattress you will need to pick it up and set it back down. For what it is it works extremely well.
Extremely heavy, I Say the Total weight in my assembly video. I think you could take it apart in several pieces and it would be manageable to move. Thanks for watching!
It can be a bit overwhelming at first but check out my build video of this this bed and hopefully you can follow along. Its a time-lapse build: czcams.com/video/0U_HXRzx-fI/video.html And this bed also has a a design flaw check out my quick cheap fix video here: czcams.com/video/54X9nQOw6m0/video.html Thank you for supporting my CZcams channel!! Good luck!
Thanks so much for your videos on this bed. We are about to order it and they have been very helpful. Did you put an Ikea brand king mattress on it? In Australia our king size mattress is 183cm x 203cm and the Ikea king beds are actually 180cm x 200cm. We wanted a specific non Ikea mattress and are hoping we can make it work on this bed.
I put a standard King from the US on this bed and it fit perfectly. I do not remember the exact measurements of the mattress. Glad my videos have reached so many people from all around the world and been so helpful. Thanks for supporting my channel!
Also a slightly bigger mattress will be helpful with this bed as you dont want to hit your leg on the frame. The 3cm extra cushion around the edge should work perfectly in my opinion.
Sooooo support legs weren't considered? Also not really a review more 95% of information all available in the details on IKEA website. Appreciated the 5% of actual review when it came to to the movement of the wood and how to solve it. Thanks for that part
Hi! Very nice video, so informing, and i'm going to do the support system like you did I just bought this bed aswell, do you think that there is a chance that i can drill a hole in the vertical part that supports the head? so that i can put a multi-socket power strip inside and central of the head space in the bed? i'm having problems to find a way that i can have electricity in both sides without being a fire hazard, and still dont show too much cables Thank you very much if you respond :)
Not sure I would want power running to the bed. Do some research first but it's actually unhealthy to sleep next to your devices at night especially if they are directly next to you instead of being on a nightstand.. I'm just assuming you would be using it for that. Just something to think about. Glad I could help! Thanks for supporting my channel!
@@DrDemp thank you anyway! The main problem is that I bought the nordli headboard too, because I don’t have too much space to have 2 normal nightstands, and I have just one power socket in the far right of the room, so in my partner side we don’t have power, neither for a light or charging cable I made my research, but nothing interesting popped up, and I didn’t want to put a power strip next to my bed drawers :/ Really thank you anyway, have a nice day!
@@Stuffip You have lots of options if your handy with running a new electric wire to the other side of the bed. You could even put in another socket on the other side.. another much easier option would be going to Walmart and purchasing a 6ft extension cord with an end that has three plugs on it. Run that along the back side of the bed and it would also stay hidden.. Hope your having an amazing night/day!
looking into getting this bed frame in a queen size. the mattress we've purchased "requires" center support. do you think the queen size would need the 2 supports you built, or would 1 work? thx
One would probably be sufficient being a slightly smaller span But, from a cost/time standpoint, each 2x4 was about 3 dollars and it takes about the same amount of labor to install 2. I know this works perfectly and I have not had any issues since I performed this fix so personally I would use 2 even on a queen. Thanks for supporting my channel!
Just purchase a bunkie board if you don’t have a “handy man” around the house I couldn’t even imagine building extra support .... I purchased a bunkie board with my mattress for 79.99 and it’s your support you don’t need to build anything in the bed
In the time it took to make the video, you could have already made a support haha. Let alone first sleeping on it for a month. I would have done it after the first night. But main fact is that you really should not have to do that of course. I see it too as a design flaw. Thanks, I am in the process of choosing a bed or perhaps making something myself. This did help a bit. I am doubt building it from scratch or based on Ikea Metod cabinets. I do hate that the mattress is lying on top. I'd prefer that it would sink in the bed itself a little bit. But I also want something with really closed cabinets or drawers. Most beds with storage are just regular beds with drawers on wheels under them, leaving them completely open and exposed for all kinds of dust or pests. Therefore I'm kinda leaning towards the Metod method haha. Thanks for sharing.
The matress didn't start sagging til after a month due to this flaw that was not known. This video and the "fix" video was made in the same day... however editing these videos takes a lot of time to get them posted which is why you may assume it took me a month to fix an issue while it did not. It took about an hour. Thanks for watching.
You should have purchased a bunkie board anytime you use a platform bed to keep the foundation for the mattress good ... I just put together my Queen Nordli and have been on it for 1 week now , but I bought a bunkie board to lay down first before my mattress ... I had the Trysil previously and you didn’t need a bunkie board with the steel frame underneath but any platform bed you should use a bunkie board so your bed doesn’t sink ...
This bed frame needs more than just a board laying top to correct this issue... Check out my fix for this bed here is the link: czcams.com/video/54X9nQOw6m0/video.html
This right here, beds need a boxspring, and ikea offers the adjustable slat style that raises the head, the feet, and you control the soft or firmness there are a ton of those slats so you can really customize.
Thanks for your video! Can I attach any headboard to this bed?
The headboard itself does not attach to the bed even if you order the specific headboard from IKEA. My headboard is mounted to the wall and is Custom Made.
no
@@DrDemp Did you ever make a video on the headboard?
YES czcams.com/video/Mra_sLH6Z6k/video.html
Bought the bed in Queen. No issues with sagging so far with 2 people sleeping. Great bed overall. We attached a 3rd party padded headboard easily.
Give us an update 6 months in. If you sleep directly over the Drawers on both edges then you may not experience as severe sag as my experience. Both edges have a little more than 2 feet of solid surface to support a sleeper. The middle, not so much. Watch my IKEA Nordli Fix Video for more information.

I wasent a Nordli fan of the side tables. The Malm fit my needs perfectly.
Hopefully this sagging in the center won't be a problem for me with the queen size.. great review, sir!
Thanks for watching! I think the Queen will need a support brace as well. A king bed is only 16 inches wider than a Queen.

They sell soft close hinges and you can put a piece of plywood in center
This would work too but would be considerably more expensive and you would still need to support the plywood in the center, it has a 4 foot span across.

Your welcome!
Am thinking of getting a queen size bed frame.. hopefully it’s better than the king size.
It will still need support in the middle to prevent the mattress from sagging. Thanks for watching!
Isnt that what bed slats are supposed to do - be flexible?
How has your mattress held up with it?
Spanning a 4ft gap with no support in the middle and sagging a few inchs in the middle is unacceptable to me and my back.
Thanks so much for your videos on this bed. We are about to order it and they have been very helpful. Did you put an Ikea brand king mattress on it?

Hey man do you think it will have the same saggy problem with the 140x200?
Highly likely with no support.
Will plywood in the centre part work just as well as building supports underneath for those of us that arent good building stuff
Plywood would work but it would still need some kind of support going to the floor in the middle as a brace/support.
Thanks for supporting my channel!
Sooooo support legs weren't considered? Also not really a review more 95% of information all available in the details on IKEA website. Appreciated the 5% of actual review when it came to to the movement of the wood and how to solve it. Thanks for that part
THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO!
Do you think the sagging issue would help if I put a box spring and then the mattress on top? Thanks!
I wouldn't recommend that as the structure of the bed needs support to the floor as my fix video shows. Thanks for watching.
I know you bought the king size, wondering if this problem would also occur on the queen size? I’m looking to buy the Queen.
In my opinion yes the queen would need support as well. A king and queen bed is only a 16 inches difference.
Thanks for watching.
I wonder if the single bed version of this has the same issue?

How can I build
