Ikea Neiden Bed Frame Assembly

A few months ago, I bought myself a new bed frame from Ikea. It's in their 'Neiden' range and was only £60, including the bed slats. Given the time and space to make my own design, I reckon I'd have spent more money.
In this video, I'll show you how I assembled the bed frame.

Good video, it seems sturdy enough. I've taken one of those bed bases apart rather than take to the tip. Good source of low quality hardwood once you get the staples all removed but the bits have good parts that have been used in other project once the knots have been cut around.

[@OllyParryJones]

smitcher Thank you. That's good to know you've been able to recycle the materials in the past. I did end up stripping it apart. The wood was only softwood but easily recycled. Even the metal inside went in to the correct bin. I only binned some of the fabric. All the best and thanks for watching.

Ah i suppose i got lucky. I guess they just use what they have to hand and every manufacturer may be different.

[@Protaztination]

Hey Olly, great and helpful vid! What's the power tool you used instead of the Allen key called? Thanks for the help!!

Hi Olly, thanks for sharing the video. I will be tasked with building this bed next week but I'm a DIY newbie. If I have an electric drill and a hammer is that everything I need? Thanks in advance

Hi Tanya, thanks for your comment. It's possible you don't need a drill. Ikea usually supply allthe tools you need but the tools are very small and I just find it easier to use my power tools. I hope this helps and best of luck with it.

Hi Jennifer, how is the bed holding up? I’m thinking of purchasing the twin size for my 3 & 6 year old.

[@pistooth]

Praise be, I'm about to get this bed today and wouldn't have the confidence to without this video. Can I ask what glue/kind of glue you used at around the 2:40 mark? Cheers!

[@OllyParryJones]

Thank you for your comment. I hope your own bed assembly goes well. Glue isn't at all necessary but I just used a basic white PVA glue for wood. If you wanted to use glue, something like a yellow glue would also be fine. Good luck and all the best.

[@maxuli21]

Hey, do you think this frame would work with a 120 or a 90 width mattress? Just wondering if the slats stay flat enough so it's not bumpy or anything since it's not covering the whole distance. They don't sell 120 wide versions sadly, I have a 120 and a 90 width mattress and I like to use both, the 90 wide neiden would be great for the smaller mattress but couldn't use the bigger mattress then.

[@OllyParryJones]

Although the slats are curved slightly, you cannot feel them through a mattress. I hope that helps and sorry for not seeing your comment much sooner.

[@beleyas.l819]

Hi!, great video!, do you think that the bed is strong enough for having it in a hostel? thanks

[@samartin745]

Can't see that bed taking some serious action Olly;-) Looks very insubstantial. When I moved into my decrepit cottage several years ago I spent most of my resources on renovation so I used eight clean wooden pallets readily available and just screwed them together to make a very strong platform bed...temporarily. A coffee table soon followed.IKEA has its place for some things but you a very capable and talented woodworker!!!

[@OllyParryJones]

Thanks for watching and for your comment. Well, my previous bed didn't receive much action either... Sadly. :-/ If it does fail at any point, I have ideas on how it can be reinforced. I'm not the biggest fan of Ikea and will avoid buying anything not made from pine. But currently without a workshop (still...), it almost seems like a viable option. Thanks for your kind words. :-)

[@inarisoju]

I'd love to see more videos on how to reinforce it!

[@OllyParryJones]

I'm not willing to do anything right now as I really don't feel it needs it. But a year or so down the line, who knows. ;-)

[@inarisoju]

that's even better if you don't feel like it doesn't need reinforcement :)

[@canadacross]

Hi - just wondering if you could put your own box spring on top instead of buying the slats. Any advice would be appreciated!

[@OllyParryJones]

Hi, I still think you'd need something (a couple of sheets or boards) to sit on the bed frame in order to support a box-spring mattress. I hope that helps?

[@WoodomainJeremyBroun]

At long last an IKEA video manual! does Aseembly mean 'what an IKEA flatpack seems like before you erect it'? I didn't realize their stuff needed sanding. Looks good.

[@OllyParryJones]

Woodomain - Jeremy Broun Thanks, Jez. I like to think people out there will be looking for guidance on how one of these goes together... And they'll find my video. ;-) It's that difference between what feels smooth and what's actually ready for a finish. Many would be less pedantic than I am! ;-) All the best.

[@CoolGendut]

So far are you happy with the bed frame? Does it grind a lot? Do you think the glue is a must?

[@OllyParryJones]

I am still very happy with this frame. Sometimes it makes a loud 'click' noise but I don't move around much in bed. I don't think glue is essential. Most of my frame is not glued as I need to be able to take it apart each time I move (I live in rented accommodation).

[@oualid9486]

Hello, I am interested in buying the single Neiden bed from IKEA but I want to make it less wide (from 90 to 70 centimeter) because the spare bedroom is very small. Do you think that's a good possibility? Furthermore I want to make it higher to make more storage space.

[@OllyParryJones]

Hello, thanks for your comment. Making it taller is definitely possible. If you made it narrower, would you be able to find a mattress to fit?

[@jannetduit4746]

Yes, I live in the Netherlands and they sell both 80 centimetres and less common the 70 centimetres wide and regular 200 length. It's fine tot kids and you make sure the adults sleeping over won't stay too long.

Interesting. If you did cut the rails down, I think you have to be able to accurately redrill the holes for the screws and dowels. I hope that makes sense.

Hi, how can you buy the bars for the bed? It doesn’t have in the package :(

I am struggling with the final part of the assembly and hoping you can help me. For the cross steel brace at the end, is there a hole for it to screwed on to the bed? I flipped the bed but can't find a place to put the screws in. Are we supposed to drill the holes ourselves for it? I don't own any power tools and just using what Ikea provided me. I would really appreciate if you can help me with this.

[@smpadte]

coolroy516 same here. I too did not have a drill. But the wood is soft enough and screws provided are sufficiently pointed to get inside wood with normal hand pressure.

[@OllyParryJones]

Thanks for your question. As Ram has suggested, there are no pre-drilled holes for the wood. But it is a softwood and you may be able to drive screws in without. If you can start the hole by pushing in a screwdriver or nail to dent the wood, this may also help. I hope this does help.

@Oily: the tack, tack, tack of the cordless drill could be avoided by choosing a higher torque. Normally it should not do this.

[@OllyParryJones]

Hi, I'm not too sure of what to suggest. Have you tried carefully tapping them in with a mallet? Or pulling them in with a clamp, if you have one?

[@dyahtruanosari998]

Is it strong enough?

[@OllyParryJones]

For lying on and sleeping on, it certainly is. You could even stand on it! I still use it to this day. I hope that helps.

[@Sundew_555]

I CANT DO THOSE SIDE THINGS WTFFFFFF THE BOLTS R SO CONFUSING (send help Im going crazy)

[@starch7993]

okay mate, get ready for the most weirdly specific question you'll ever be asked can i ask for the dimensions of the NEIDEN bed's legs please? I'm gonna need to use risers to make the bed a bit taller, and I want to make sure that the bed's legs will actually fit in them. If you can get back to me on this then you'll genuinely have saved my freakin' life lmao!

[@OllyParryJones]

I'm so sorry that I missed your comment. Hopefully you've got this sorted by now but I think they're about 69mm x 20mm.

[@Scottiii95]

Is this bed super creaky for anyone else as well?

[@OllyParryJones]

I don't find it to be very creaky and it does seem to make enough of a noise that anyone else might here. Thanks for watching.

[@Subderhenge]

I did't buy the Luroy when I bought the frame. My bed just went through the center of the frame.

[@OllyParryJones]

So, does your mattress just sit comfortably on or inside the frame?

[@vtec8000xrpm]

Wellp, I don't want the frame anymore. Thanks for the heads up! lol

[@OllyParryJones]

You're welcome, I guess. Thanks for watching.

[@isaaccuevas9034]

What is the size?

[@OllyParryJones]

It's about 1.95m x 1.39m. Sized for a standard double matterss. Other sizes may be available. I hope this helps.

4 hours assembly ... .that's indeed quite a long time. Well... I spent ca. 50 minutes and I am already 80% done I would say....includingthe interruptins of my son who is a great adviser when it comes to construction. But maybe .... I should rather call it playing. So this delays me always a bit. But it is worth the fun.

[@OllyParryJones]

Glad to hear you're doing well with the assembly and I hope it serves you well. All the best.

[@tobiasmoglich2167]

@@OllyParryJones Yes - bed works. Our son sleeps well in it.

[@pussavia]

It is not that we "persist" in using allan keys instead of power tools. We just do not have the money for the tools. Otherwise we would not go to ikea ;)

[@OllyParryJones]

Drills are available quite cheaply these days - even in places like Lidl and Aldi. I feel like, if nothing else, they are quite accessible and not overly expensive. Thanks for watching.

[@aka-.-1981]

[@OllyParryJones]

I've no idea! I'm still very happy with mine. :-)
