No incident, no one hurt Made May 5, 2026, sent to the company May 7, 2026, published by CPSC May 21, 2026
The product, in the report: IKEA Hemnes Daybed with three drawers with reecommended mattresses. My order number is [REDACTED] Ikea provided me a case number [REDACTED] for my complaint but they have done nothing to correct the issue. I cannot locate a SKU, UPC, serial number or manufactured date
The following is a paraphrased copy of the complaint sent to the [REDACTED]. I felt I needed to escalte this to the level of being a safety concerns specifically regarding children. I could provide photos of the item that would clearly show the potential safety concern.
I am submitting a complaint regarding a defective purchase and unresolved customer service issue with IKEA. On November 11, 2025, I purchased a Hemnes Daybed with three drawers along with the two recommended mattresses for use in a guest room. After only one use, the wooden bed slats that support the mattress failed. While making the bed, two slats snapped in half, causing my knee to fall through due to the thin mattress (I weight 140 lbs). This created both a safety hazard and rendered the bed unusable. Beyond the inconvenience, this defect presents a serious safety concern. If this failure had occurred with a small child, there is a risk they could become trapped or injured. After making multiple good-faith efforts to resolve this directly with IKEA and receiving no meaningful response, I am now requesting a full refund for the daybed and the mattresses, as the mattresses are specifically designed for use with this frame and are unusable without it.

The product, in the report: Twin sized Ikea NEIDEN bed frame
My Ikea NEIDEN twin size bed frame has a head board that allowed my daughter’s head to slip between the mattress and headboard causing her head to get stuck. She was unable to free herself from this situation as the mattress and bed frame combo provided enough force to make it hard to remove her head from the frame. If her head had slid inside while upside-down, this would have caused a compression of the airway. This design of headboard is flawed as it allows head-sized objects through it

The product, in the report: Tarva wooden bed frame from Ikea
I was sitting perfectly still on my queen sized Tarva bed from Ikea and the center support suddenly crashed to the floor. This is a lightly used bed that I have owned for less than 2 years. I assembled it per the wordless instructions. Both 3/4” screws attaching the support plate to the headboard had backed out. I was able to reassemble it, adding an extra screw to each support plates. I was unable to submit a review via Ikea’s website to alert others, so I submit this to you as a safety concern. Although the bed sits only 8” from the floor, it was a shocking fall and I have a mild headache today, which may be related.

The product, in the report: ESPEVÄR Slatted mattress base for bed frame, white - Queen - IKEA. Length: 79 1/2 “ Width: 59 7/8 “ Height: 7 7/8 “ Mattress length: 79 1/2 “ Mattress width: 59 7/8 “
I have owned the IKEA Espevar queen mattress base for a year and a half. In the middle of the night, while my partner and I were sleeping, the wooden bar in the middle of the mattress base connecting the top to the bottom split, causing the mattress to sink in toward the floor. I weigh 130 pounds and my partner weighs 200 pounds. IKEA customer service was of no help and in reading the reviews of the product, it looks like the middle wooden bar splitting is not unusual with this product. Clearly, the wood is not properly sealed to the metal bar that is attached to the wood. I am lucky that I did not get injured; I cannot say the same will be true for others who purchase this mattress base.

The product, in the report: IKEA BRUSALI bed, dark brown Article 899.311.07
I have an IKEA BRUSALI queen size bed. The end board has very sharp corners at slightly below knee height. In addition, the end board is wider than most of the frame, and it creates an effect of looking narrower than it actually is. I’ve hit my shins and toes on the end board multiple times and this most recent time I was bleeding and it tore off some of the skins on my leg that are the size of a quarter coin. This was after I put some IKEA corner pads that supposed should hide the sharp corners. You can find similar reports on the Internet.

IKEA HEMNES Daybed frame with 3 drawers, white
I heard my four year old daughter screaming. I ran to her room and couldn’t find her at first. She was stuck inside one of the drawers of her daybed, which is the IKEA HEMNES Daybed frame with 3 drawers, white http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30080316/
The door had slid shut with her inside. Thankfully I was able to pull the drawer open and get her out in time.

First aid Made Jun 22, 2014, sent to the company Jun 30, 2014, published by CPSC Jul 15, 2014
The product, in the report: Ikea Brimmes bed frame , item number 60273785. The drawer handles, part number(s) 124328 ,128763 (as per the assembly instructions), have sharp edges on the corners which I noticed upon unpacking and during assembly.
Hello, I am contacting Ikea in order to bring to attention the matter of a product safety issue/concern. On June 11, 2014 , I purchased the Brimmes bed frame , item number 60273785. The drawer handles, part number(s) 124328 ,128763 (as per the assembly instructions), have sharp edges on the corners which I noticed upon unpacking and during assembly. Since purchasing and using the bed, I have cut my legs on the handles multiple times, one time severe enough to draw blood. My suggestion to eliminate this potentially hazardous situation is to have the manufacturer of the drawer handles round the corners off. This problem has been reported to the United State Consumer Product Safety Commission in the interest of preventing more serious injuries to other people..

The product, in the report: Ikea Hemnes queen size bed frames
I bought 2 Ikea queen sized Hemnes bed frames. The headboards and foot boards came pre-assembled, while the rest of the bed needed to be assembled On one headboard, the wood was so badly split and damaged that I didn’t put the bed together. Though the other one wasnt perfect, it didn’t seem to be badly damaged. I assembled the bed and put the mattress and box spring on the frame. During the night one of the dowels on the headboard seem to have cracked. the panel on the bed crashed down and the mattress fell. If there was a young child playing on or near the bed, he or she could have been injured. This product is dangerous.

The product, in the report: MALM King size bed frame Article Number: 998.498.43 in color black-brown
Box springs dropped unexpectedly from side and mid beams hitting the floor and pinning the box spring tightly against the side of the bed frame. Had children’s fingers been near the side frame they would have easily been pinched, if not amputated.

Emergency room Made Aug 19, 2011, published by CPSC Sep 12, 2011
The product, in the report: Ikea black Malm queen size bedframe
We have had two incidents that have happened with the Malm bedframe. The most recent was about 3 weeks ago. My daughter was playing in our bedroom and she fell hitting right above her eye but below her eyebrow on the sharp edges of this Malm bedframe from Ikea. It caused a 1/2 inch cut/slit in her skin. We ran her to urgent care where they had to use dermabond stitch glue.
The second incident happened last year to my son who at the time was almost 3. He jumped off the bed and slipped hitting his right ear on edge of the same bedframe. He had to be rushed to the emergency room for stitches in his ear to keep the slit in his ear closed.
Both of my kids have been hurt and have scares from this bedframe. If the bedframe was rounded and not so sharp on the edges it would make it much safer.
We are wanting to get a new bedframe as soon as finances allow because I don’t think this is a safe bed to have with children

No one hurt Made Aug 10, 2011, published by CPSC Sep 1, 2011
The product, in the report: Ikea, Hemnes, White King-size bed frame
I purchased an Ikea bed frame last year, Hemnes, white, king size. I additionally purchased their recommended box springs to accompany my Ikea mattress too. The “lip” going around the perimeter is 1/2”. This is the primary support for the (king size) mattress and box springs. There are additional cross supports 1/4” thick of what appears to be aluminum, that are meant to be attached at the 4 corners of the frame. When it is correctly assembled, and I have built homes for a living so I am quite confident that I with help, can assemble a bed frame.... The mattress, box spring fell through to the floor, when I laid on it. The aluminum supports expanded (to fit other bed sizes) and fell to the floor, scratching our new hardwood floors... There is no way this frame can be used safely. It isn’t physically possible to have a rickety frame hold a mattress and box spring with a 1/2” lip, let alone someone lay/sit on the bed with out collapsing. We ended up removing it completely and buying a seperate frame from a local retailer and sitting it in between the foot/head boards and side panels. Now if you were to buy a white bed frame from Ikea you have the choice of different head/foot boards and everyone gets the same side panels, so I can’t imagine how they offer different hardware for different beds.
