Question:

Will my mattress fit in my bed?

I plan on buying a bed that measures 87 inches wide 82 inches long the mattress measures 80 in. long 76 in. wide. The bed is a platform bed king size and the mattress is a memory foam. I cant find a mattress with the same measurments as the bed. This is my first time buying a new bed. Thanks in advance.

Answer:

Size wise it should work. But ikea mattresses are generally lower quality, and lighter then other matresses. So weight could be an issue. And honestly, I have owned an ikea bed, my parents have, and a few friends have, and we were all very dissapointed. In most cases they fell apart failry quickly. The smaller sizes do seem to hold up better then the larger ones, but if I were you, I would avoid the ikea bed, and go with something else.
I would not buy that combination. You are going to have 5 1/2 of platrform sticking out on both sides -- I guarantee you will be bumping your shins against it. With a baby on the way you will be climbing in and out of bed a LOT -- do you really want to be banging your legs on this thing every time? You will hate it. My recommendation is to find another bed that fits the mattress or find a mattress that is at LEAST 85 wide if you are dead set on that bed. I find it hard to believe you are not able to locate a combination that will fit correctly. Check with a local mattress manufacturer rather than one of the big-box chain stores -- it is not that hard to have a custom foam mattress made to order.
Yes memory foam mattress can fit on platform bed, as most of the platform bed provide great support for it. The memory foam mattress can regain any shape, so it will be adjusted easily on the platform bed. The pressure points on the mattress will be reduced, and you will get a perfect mattress bed setup. For more information on memory foam mattress you can get from
Platform beds are always larger than the mattress size.
