Re: Has anyone bought an ikea bed for their kids?
Is Kallax the new Expedit, or are they different, and if so how?

We've had our Kura for 5-ish years and moved it twice after initial set up. It's doing fine.

Re: Has anyone bought an ikea bed for their kids?
the all wood bed is still going strong nine years later.
the particle board beds, two of them, fell apart in a few years. i got the cheapest spring mattresses and they were horrible. just awful. but they are now discontinued. i hear latex ones are much better.

Re: Has anyone bought an ikea bed for their kids?
We have two Ikea beds - the Minnen adjustable bed and the Kura reversible bed that we currently use as a bunk bed. We also have an Ikea crib that sidecars nicely. I've been happy with all of them. We've had the crib for three kids, the other beds for 4-6 years.
Our mattresses are a mix - three of the kids have Ikea foam mattresses on the floor or over slatted bed bases. I've slept on all of them just fine. The baby has a Babies R Us mattress. (Hated our first crib, mattress was ok, so we kept it.)

Yikes! I take it you live nowhere near one? If there is one within vacation driving distance, you could do a mini overnight "IKEA" vacation (aka vacation in antoher city with an IKEA, and bring home your own stuff) for that shipping price!

Did you look on Craigslist in your area? I see them pop up every so often there.

We just bought DD another Ikea bed with drawers in the bottom. The drawers are HUGE!!! She loves it. Again, not an Ikea mattress though. I've been really happy with their furniture so far. I just hate that it is a 2 hour drive into the city to get things. Although, that is probably good because if they were closer, I'd be spending a ton more money there.
