IKEA Lonset Slatted bed base assembly.

[@TheRspeeed]

MY bed was noisy from the first assembly and I couldn't understand the problem. If I only knew before that I just needed to remove the plastic screw! Thanks a lot!!

[@whoDatBeDare]

Yes. Warning the darker shade of slat goes into the darker shade of the slat holder. Super frustrating that one shade of the slats match one shade of the slat holder. Which is wrong. Super bad color selection,

[@pavanmvr9849]

Hi, There are a total of 8 plastic screws. How many do we remove? Only the ones on the center frame?

[@ManRat]

Remove them all cause the slots are on the top

[@reemaaworldqa8800]

How did you install the long poles in the gray rubber that is so stiff? Is there a specific method you used?

[@esparka]

Fun project. I just completed the Lönset assembly and, it’s a workout, yet, not a bad as the many whiners make it out to be. Just set your mind to do it & go….

[@esparka]

What bothered me most is, the little wrench fell out of my hand maybe 20 times. It landed near the heat vent twice, which elicited a nightmare wave to reach me both times. Me & that wrench are not friends….

[@ManRat]

Yep, its a simple project to do

[@gokhankaraca8864]

Hi , Luroy has the sound problem, did they solve it with Lonset design? Do you have any complaints regarding the sleep quality? Do you heard any noise from Lonset bed? Thank you for the video.

[@lovin2laugh25]

Would the slatted base still be supportive without the ropes? I accidentally skipped out on the ropes and I don’t want to unscrew everything

[@ManRat]

Yep, but its preferred that you do loop it through.

[@TheOn3LeftBehind]

I absolutely hated putting this slatted base together before and I'm going to have to do it again tomorrow. :(((( It was so frustrating lol.

[@ManRat]

but the end result was well worth it, wasn't it.

[@ameliathompson9190]

The side panel of my slats doesn’t have the pre drilled holes in so I don’t understand how I am supposed to attach it to the bed frame? Please help

[@ManRat]

The slats are free floating on the bed frame. They dont have to be drilled into the bed. The mattress weight and the snug fit will keep it in place and prevent it from falling or going off the trails. Its normal

Man, thanks for the video. My lonsets came with a wooden frame and I couldn't figure out how to install it. Almost got them send back to IKEA.

[@ManRat]

Glad I could help

[@WillieD7]

I’ve had these for a few years. The rubber slat holders eventually compress causing sagging in higher weight zones. This lets the mattress sag. I do not recommend.

[@raynavarro1078]

Great video, definitely helped me understand that this was not going to be a walk in the park. This was the longest part of our bed assembly. I would respectfully disagree on your earlier comment regarding total time to put the Lonset together.

[@ManRat]

Its all good Ray, :) thank you so much for watching and I am glad that it helped you out.

[@acap24]

DAMN, if I didn't need the back support before I sure as f*** do now

[@acap24]

This guy didnt mention the most important part about assembling this, though. Don't screw the screws all the way in at the beginning. You will have to use hulk strength to squeeze the slats in between. Leave the screws partially unscrewed to allow more room, and then tighten at the end. It will save you 45 minutes

Hi, it's no longer available at the links you provided (I was a bit slow on the take up but wasn't expecting it to disappear from both websites. Do you know where else I could find it?

[@ManRat]

There you go :) amzn.to/2PZvDdo but only 9 left

[@SimonKentucky]

These slats add at least 2 inches of height, so if you are using Malm frame better to use the lower height setting. Even in lower setting combined with 28" mattress it is high (I'm 6 foot)

[@ManRat]

yes, you should but i will also look at how much does the mattress sinks when you sit on it and adjust as needed

[@d.almeida3633]

So would this be a good replacement for a general boxspring?? Also, is it noisy when you are turning over in your sleep?

[@ManRat]

Omg, YES! And it's cheaper, easy to move and the under bed storage option is amazing. And it's very comfy. I am never going back to box spring again.

[@d.almeida3633]

@@ManRat thanks for the response, is this a good option to have the bed more supported and firmer? Or should I stick with the 17 slats?

[@ManRat]

@@d.almeida3633 Personally I love extra firm mattress and while I do have the other slats too, on this 2nd bed I opted to go with these Lonset Slatted and they do make a big difference. I have been using this bed for about a year, and till the time you do flip the top mattress every 6 months, it feels like brand new.

[@d.almeida3633]

@@ManRat but does it make your mattress more bouncy and noisy??

[@ManRat]

@@d.almeida3633 nope, ikea is very well made, it doesn't make it noisy.

[@skier210is]

They have quality control issues with these I had one half of the bed with grey slats too long wasn't able to screw the frame completely together. The other half assembled easily.

[@ManRat]

You might want to check with Ikea, cause for me the install was super easy

[@runsin222]

Did you drill holes into the bed frame? to fit into the caps and screws installed on the mid beam and the frame?

[@ManRat]

Hi thank for asking this. No, all holes are pre-drilled. I just had to fit the cap and screw it. It really is super easy to install and you can do it just with basic tools. Side note: I will highly recommend to get the Ikea Fixa Toolbox - You can see the unboxing and what all is included here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2bVpZKcfMiYoNk hope this helps and please do like, and subscribe.

[@ManRat]

@@MrAmyntas if you check my Ikea bed series you will see it was a complete build

[@MrAmyntas]

@@ManRat Yes and then there is a cut and the plastic caps are gone. They are for the other type of slats anyway and shouldn't be attached at all with lonset slats.

Where can I buy this? Is it possible to buy just the rubber supports? Thanks

I do feel that if the rubber supports are going, you have had the bed for a while and the wooden supports have started to go to, you can pick it up either from Ikea, or order via amazon ( free shipping) amzn.to/32a2LXm or Ikea www.ikea.com/us/en/p/loenset-slatted-bed-base-80278715/ hope this helps.

3 years in, the LONSET slats have bent out of shape leading to back pain. IKEA better make a sturdier option.

you can just pick up new slats, 2nd option, go to home depot and get plywood. They can cut to fit the bed.

Hi! We have been using our Lonset for the last 5 days and it is really noisy. Do you know what the problem may be? We already checked and all the screws seem to be well tight. We noticed that the noise comes from the slates. Thank you!

Once it was completed, did the mattress sit higher than the side edge of the bed frame? Someone said they had to lower the rails to the lower holes so the mattress fits inside and not above. How was yours?

You could also just drop the box spring and mattress inside the frame and use it without slats. Depending how thick each piece is, it should be tall enough to comfortably enter and exit.

[@harunozmen4166]

God damn whoever invented these slats! The slope of the slats is reflected to the bed and it is never a flat bed. I bought two Lönset mattresses, both of them are problematic. Some places are high, 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?

[@jdmb03]

Use a sheet of 1/2 to 3/4 inch plywood. Much more support than chipboard.

[@sunshinegray2153]

Thank you for the video. About how long did the slates take to assemble?
