IKEA stocks a wide variety of beds, bed frames, and mattresses, which are built to be sturdy and durable.
However, you may be wondering whether IKEA beds have a weight limit. Here is everything I have managed to find out!
IKEA Bed Weight Limits
For IKEA bunk beds, the recommended weight limit for the top bunk is 220 lb or 100 kg. For IKEA’s single, queen, and king-size beds, IKEA does not officially state a weight limit. However, many customers have stated their beds are comfortable handling a combined weight (for an average of two people) of 500-550 lbs (220-249 kg).

IKEA Bunk Bed Weight Limit
IKEA has a vast selection of bunk beds to choose from, ranging from wooden to metal frames, and bunk beds with desks underneath.
The weight of a bunk bed user should be taken into consideration, as bunk beds are built on tall supports, and thus must be able to support weight properly, to avoid potential injury.
IKEA does stipulate on their website a recommended weight limit for bunk beds. For most bunk beds, Ikea recommends a weight limit of around 220 lb (100 kg), for each bed.
IKEA Kura Bed Weight Limit
The Kura bed is a popular choice for young children, as it can be very easily customized.
IKEA stipulates a maximum weight for this bed, around 220 lb (100 kg), due to its leg-supported wooden frame.
IKEA Loft Bed Weight Limit
The IKEA loft bed is very similar in design to the bunk bed, so its maximum load will generally stand at around 220 lb (100 kg), much like other bunk bed options.
IKEA Malm Bed Weight Limit
IKEA does not list the maximum weight for the Malm bed, but it can be gathered that the bed will be able to support a good amount of weight.
From our research, the Ikea Malm bed is estimated to support around 500 lb (226 kg) combined for two people.
Since the Malm bed comes with specialized slats and a sturdy mid-beam across the frame, it is one of the most sturdy beds Ikea sells.
IKEA Mydal Bed Weight Limit
The Mydal bed is a variety of bunk beds, so it can generally only support up to 220 lbs (100 kg) of weight to avoid potential harm if the structure were to fall.
IKEA Stora Bed Weight Limit
The Stora variety of beds is a wooden framed bunk bed, thus its recommended weight limit stands at around 220 lbs (100 kg).
IKEA Smastad Loft Bed Weight Limit
The Smastad loft bed is a sturdy and well-constructed bunk bed with multiple points of support from built-in desks and closets.
This bed has a listed maximum load of 220 lbs (100 kg), however, it would be possible to safely exceed this, but it must be done sparingly and with caution.
IKEA Hemnes Bed Weight Limit
IKEA does not list a recommended weight limit for the Hemnes bed.
However, it is clear from our research that with strong slats and proper supports, the Hemnes bed can support a lot of weight (estimated at 550 lb or 249 kg combined weight), due to being close to the ground.
IKEA Brimnes Bed Maximum Weight Limit
The Brimnes bed frame is a popular variety, due largely to its multiple storage points and its sturdy build.
IKEA does not list a maximum weight limit for this bed, but it can be gathered that the bed frame can support a good amount of weight (estimated at around 500 lb or 226 kg combined weight), due to its multiple points of support.
IKEA Idanaes Bed Weight Limit
The Idanaes bed frame is a fashionable upholstered bed frame.
IKEA does not directly list a maximum weight for the bed, however, because it features less support and very small legs, it is recommended not to exceed 220 lbs (100 kg).
