shabby chic bedroom Ikea - massive cheekiness! Don't you agree?
I have an Ikea bedstead which I love - dark brown metal frame which looks antique and goes really well with my 'shabby chic' bedroom. The mattress though is rubbish as it dips down into the middle. I'm single so don't share my bed with anyone but if I did we'd both roll into the middle! I've had this bed and mattress for 4 years. It's a double.
Just bought a new Hypnos mattress in a double size and found it's too small for my bed! Apparently Ikea have their own sizing method so you have to get your mattress from them because other makes won't fit. I have rolled an old duvet into a sausage shape and put this at the foot of my bed under the mattress cover.
Anyone else had this problem with Ikea? Or encountered similar cheekiness from retailers?
Thanks in advance Groovymaude - calm down! That's why I haven't returned to Ikea for a replacement mattress. Their mattresses are crap so I got a Hypnos one, job done. Don't upset yourself, love.
Yep cheeky, even on the brink of being sly!
Both my kids have Ikea beds, its annoying because we have to buy ALL our bedding from there as well. Its not too bad though, they do pretty funky kids bedding!
The rolled up sausage idea sounds a good plan of action. Maybe to you cover it with cool cushions or something too. Your bed would look very inviting then!

How can I make my small oblong bedroom look larger?
I have an oblong shaped room, and I want to re-decorate it. I have a full size bed and would like to do it in shabby chic. Colors are brown & tiffany blue. Any suggestions?
Use either wall paper or paint stripes horizonally on the shorter walls to make them look longer.
