MALM Bed frame, white, Twin

Article number: 002.494.87

This versatile bed frame will look great with your choice of textiles and bedroom furniture.

You can sit up comfortably in bed thanks to the high headboard – just prop some pillows behind your back and you will have a comfortable place to read or watch TV.

You can easily vacuum under the bed frame to keep the space clean and dust-free.

Adjustable bed sides allow you to use mattresses of different thicknesses.

A clean design that’s just as beautiful on all sides – place the bed on its own or with the headboard against a wall. If you need space for extra bedding, add MALM bed storage boxes on casters.

I would like to know if the MALM bed frame is compatible with a memory foam mattress that is 12 inches thick. Can I adjust the bed sides to accommodate this thickness?

How do I attach the bed frame to the wall?
Do you recommend using anti-tip brackets or is there another way to secure it?

To attach the MALM bed frame to the wall, IKEA recommends using the included wall attachment fittings. These are typically anti-tip brackets that secure the bed frame to the wall, preventing it from tipping over.

The specific steps are:

1. Locate the wall attachment fittings included in the MALM bed frame packaging.
2. Position the bed frame in the desired location against the wall.
3. Mark the wall where the attachment fittings need to be screwed in.
4. Drill pilot holes into the wall at the marked locations.
5. Securely screw the wall attachment fittings into the wall.
6. Attach the bed frame to the wall attachment fittings.

This wall attachment method is the best way to safely secure the MALM bed frame and prevent it from tipping. Do not attempt to use the bed frame without properly attaching it to the wall
