No silly intro or time wasting, thanks for this video!

[@PPFlatPack]

Thank you for watching

[@michaelhilson3699]

Good video, but reminder to everyone: If you are doing Queen or King, there are two strings that have to be used (not one), per set of slats. In the video, he is doing a Full set, so he only uses one string.

[@BigDaddyJinx]

Good point and a great reminder.

[@missvickix3]

I wish I read this comment before doing mine. I finished one set with one string and noticed there was an extra string on the ground and I looked at the manual again and had a face palm moment.

[@valeriar.l8941]

Do you think it is a problem using only one string instead of 2? I finished both sets and noticed afterwards that there are 2 for each and I really don't want to set it up again (mine is 160x200)

This guy is an absolute genius and when I say his the man you always want to do your Ikea units, I mean it. I found him here on KZbin and his practically done the wardrobes and chest of draws for myself and family.

Glad it worked. Thank you for watching

[@ETJD]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! IKEA is the furniture that I hate to love. I purchased 1 set today for a twin daybed as a replacement and your video helped so much, especially since there was NO instruction sheet included. Just a word of caution/warning for anyone that is just now buying one or more of these...there are now 2 straps that need to be used for the slats. I made the mistake of only using 1 strap and had to open up one side so I could add the 2nd strap.

[@cherylrichards8730]

Thank you! Saving me a ton of time! Best video! I bought Lonset slats for a Q non Ikea metal bed frame to which I attached a centerboard. Like the fitted slot idea, no shifting on this! Now I understand HOW the units frames go together, that slats curves UP, are color coded and exactly how slats and straps are fixed into the wood frame. Realize it will be a whole lot easier to pre-assemble.

[@desredmond5168]

Very good easy to follow 😊

[@middleC17]

Thank you so much for this video! I didn't even bother to look at the picture instructions, except where the white portions are supposed to be in the bed frame ( The most gray is at the foot of the bed).

I have the brimnes bed & head Standard double, these are very tricky to do when you have very little elbow room and only one pair of girls hands. Worth it in the end! I am glad these videos exist, the paper instructions are sometimes as clear as mud. I wish I could do it as fast as the video portrays (high speed button). Thanks mate.

Just upgraded our Queen Hermes with Lonset to a King. This is a great foundation and way better than a solid platform. It's like a true box spring. My wife is only 4'9" and even with a low profile foundation our 15" mattress becomes too tall to be ideal.

[@srodxo]

I have a question so my mid beam broke and I got a new one ($10 skrova) it wasn’t the same so it didn’t fit my Hemnes queen bed . I tried asking if I could get the same one from my bed but u have to purchase the whole bed set. Would I be able to use Lönset without a mid beam or?

[@limbingyi9202]

Hi do you happen to know how far apart are the slabs?

[@simo-co7lj]

merci

[@chaviro7041]

it tooks me 7 hours !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@darocha2010]

When you builf a queen, do you know if the the middle can get fixed together ? Or is two parts that have to sit side by side ? 🤔

[@harunozmen4166]

The slope of the slats is reflected in the bed. I bought two beds, both are like this. It's never a flat bed. Some places are high and some are low. I wake up in the morning in pain. I'm considering removing the slats and replacing them with a flat sheet of chipboard. So it will be like a classic box-spring mattress. Do you have such a complaint, are you satisfied?

[@catalinalesmes2208]

Does someone know how to fix the squaky noises the bed slots are making once I'm on my bed?Many thanks

[@shanwang446]

Very helpful video. What was the size of the screw and washer you used to screw the straps to the bed frame at 6:56? I didn't find it in the description.

[@ShazWag]

I have the same slatted base and the same bed, but the slats don't fit because there are plastic white screw that are supposed to go between the slat, but these slats are on a frame. Did you leave the white plastic screws off? If so, was it secure enough? Thanks

[@PPFlatPack]

Yes leave the plastic stoppers off for this slated bed base it will work only with LUROY

[@rohintjohn1]

Does this slats make creaking noise like Luroy slats

[@koukou7560]

Hey do I need electric screwdriver or I can with simple?

[@camiloandresromeromendez5891]

Any idea what side is the head and what the feet ?

[@baholete]

You forgot to mention the orientation when finished :d from the manual it looks like the edge white boards go on the front, under your head

[@Youtubinbradda]

I don’t think it matters, does it ?

[@just4therecord]

does it matter which color slats faces the bed head or the legs position once fully assembled? thanks

[@PPFlatPack]

I did same as in the instructions I thing they have different hardens what make sense for back and legs

[@frankmir6406]

Any idea what happens if you don't install the string? Bought one set already made and they didn't use it. Its a full/double.

[@AltruisticWarrior]

Fair chance that one or several of the slats can fail and snap. That string helps distribute the weight across the slats.

[@jingkichika]

Is it a must to put the string?

[@worldofjohnboy]

Hate to bug you on this, but my wife is complaining that our current setup is too firm (memory foam mattress on box spring). I'm thinking of getting this foundation as it looks like it's more forgiving when you add weight to it since it has those gray rubber "springs" and the wood slats appear to be "bowed" up and would flatten when weight is applied. In your opinion, is this pretty a forgiving foundation?

[@AltruisticWarrior]

I know it's 3 years later but these slats totally change the mattress behavior for the better. Especially for side sleepers. I used two different mattresses with and without this system. I'd wake up barely able to walk from hip and back pain. With it? Amazing sleep, especially if you're a heavier person that's a side sleeper, hence the white softer slats for pressure points.

[@juliaaustin6615]

I put all slats in then realized I have a queen so I need 2 ribbons instead of one! Grrrrr.... But thanks for the video, it was very helpful!

[@darocha2010]

When you built the queen, did the middle get fixed together ? Or is two parts that sit side by side ? 🤔

[@samimdko]

How are these attached to bed frame? Are there any screws or do you just need to keep them on the bed frame?

[@PPFlatPack]

No screws no attachment just assembled and put it in the frame

[@samimdko]

PP FlatPack thank you 😊

[@CG-ql5rr]

Is this slatted bed frame better than the standard one? I've seen on IKEA website optionally this frame ,the standard one and Leirsund Which one is better?

[@AltruisticWarrior]

This system is the best BY FAR. It can really make a big difference especially for side sleepers.

[@CG-ql5rr]

@AltruisticWarrior I bought this 2 years ago and no screeching or squeaking so far,very stable👌👍 I bought a similar single bed and that one is not good at all

[@kavi410]

Do we need stoppers as well for Lönset? Actually Lönset is lifted up when you put stoppers and it makes noise. I am not sure if I should remove it?

[@JattStallion1]

I was wondering the exact same thing, just made mine today and the slats seem to sit on top of the stoppers so I think we aren't supposed to use stoppers with lonset, also on my king size kvalfjord the slat unit doesn't fully fill the gap in the head to toe direction (allowing for the slat unit to move up and down freely) , do you have the same issue?

[@kavi410]

JattStallion1 yes I removed the white stoppers from the beam and now it doesn’t make any clickity sound! 😊👌🏻

Even watching your videos hundred times it is very hard to put all these little things together and screw part is hard as hell. I’m trying to assemble king size malm bed with this double supporter. I started at 5 and now it’s 11pm I wanna cry or hit myself. I even got the automatic drill and still taking it forever especially this part . Ladies please get you a man and help with this type of things . I thought this was gonna be challenge and good myself challenge accepted but he’ll no I just wanna break all these woods and throw away sleep only in a mattress smdh I wanna cry

Yes you right sometime is better to get someone if yo feel like you can't make it. I see this many times when I go to customers who start mess up and can't finish than is harder to fix all...Well done for trying and thank you for watching.

Mine make an awful noise each time we move, I tried to put a bunch of stuff to prevent the noise but it never works, the slats keep shifting and groaning

[@flrvyzor]

Hi, 1st of all thanks for this great video. What's the difference between the LONSET and LUROY ? Do you recommend LONSET ? I'm about to buy it. Thanks so much

[@PPFlatPack]

I would go for LÖNSET it is a bit more expensive but they have the pockets and stay in place. I can see a few comments on okra beds where people complain about Luroy moving or not staying in place. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching

[@fabifreire2858]

Question: is it a problem if the colors are not in their correct places?

[@PPFlatPack]

I thing the colours are there for reason would guess different hardness for different part of body. But in real life don’t think you would see any difference if you mix the colours. When you put thick mattresses should be fine.

[@kaurk6127]

i couldnt find those slats from where did u get it??

[@sondahh]

[@libaxnol3464]

I have a question does the bed have mattress?

[@loicjikko]

how big are the cardboard boxes for the Lonset? I'm afraid that if I go and click and collect this myself, that a single person is not going to be enough to carry the boxes. Any help?

[@ETJD]

I just bought 1 set today. The box isn't big, but it's long 75+" and heavy. I actually unpacked it at the store so I could get it into my car easier, and it helped because I was able to make 2 trips by myself up 3 flights of stairs.

@@PPFlatPack IKEA should either make their own "official" company instructional videos, or compensate you for your efforts, and make them "semi-official". Links to your YT videos could be added to the online product information pages. I'm sure you've saved tens of thousands of people hours of wasted time and frustration.

[@PPFlatPack]

Happened to me similar thing when I miss the first hole and start with second have to go back and do all again. I think the string is important it hold all together and over long time I thing it give extra support.

[@AltruisticWarrior]

Yah... you want that second band. It helps distribute weight across multiple slats. Without them, or both, there is a chance the slats could fail and snap, especially the softer white slats.

[@kimjaeger4399]

Could be worse. I put the slats in without the ribbon at first. Had to take ALL of them out :'(

What about that metal frame that you set it in? Does it not come with it?
