And that’s doubled up with a topper! We’re planning to get a real mattress eventually as he gets bigger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-hemnes-daybed-comfortable-when-expanded-to-a-king#post-2804482 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 14:29:32 +0000 fmmtk 2804482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: Not from Ikea, they were Lucid mattresses ordered from wal-mart. Since we knew that it would be utilized for guests, we thought they had more support than the Ikea ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-hemnes-daybed-comfortable-when-expanded-to-a-king#post-2804447 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 13:00:42 +0000 MaryM 2804447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HappyBaker: That would probably work if they're shorter, but it would still be a bit awkward to have to scoot down to get out of bed (or maybe I'm just really short...but I tend to get in/out closer to the head of the bed) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-hemnes-daybed-comfortable-when-expanded-to-a-king#post-2804445 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 12:55:45 +0000 HappyBaker 2804445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: Oh good point, in my head I was picturing that they would put their heads at the back of the daybed, not sideways, but I think you are right its meant to be someone on the inside and someone on the outside, which would probably be tricky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-hemnes-daybed-comfortable-when-expanded-to-a-king#post-2804443 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 12:54:41 +0000 MaryM 2804443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For older guests...would they really want to use it as a king sized bed? It could be difficult for the person on the "inside" to get in and out of a daybed style king sized bed. </p> <p>If looking for something for older guests, I might look for the type of daybed where you have a separate pop up trundle that can be pulled away from the main bed so it's easier to get in and out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-hemnes-daybed-comfortable-when-expanded-to-a-king#post-2804442 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 12:53:15 +0000 HappyBaker 2804442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fmmtk: Awesome thank you! Were the mattresses you got from Ikea or from somewhere else? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-hemnes-daybed-comfortable-when-expanded-to-a-king#post-2804441 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 12:48:58 +0000 fmmtk 2804441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Hemnes still feels like a solid bed when pulled out to a king. I've slept on a pop- up trundle once or twice and felt like it was going to fall to the ground every time I turned! We purchased two 5" Memory Foam mattresses and just stack them when it's a daybed. </p> <p>We will probably purchase a king size topper to use for future guests just because the memory foam mattresses are a bit hard in my opinion, but that's the mattress and not the bed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-the-hemnes-daybed-comfortable-when-expanded-to-a-king#post-2804427 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 12:07:20 +0000 HappyBaker 2804427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like a ton of people on here have this bed, and I know its a great option for a kids bed when its just a regular daybed. I'm wondering though if its comfortable when you pull it out to be a king? Did you buy the mattresses from IKEA or something different to make it more comfortable when its a king? Also does it seem sturdy enough weight-limit wise?</p> <p>This would be for guests but they are in their 60's. They usually stay 3-4 nights at a time. Trying to decide between the Hemnes and just a regular daybed with pop up trundle. </p>
