White Hemnes daybed with green and white striped cotton covers in a kitchen nook by a glass cabinet and checkerboard rugSave
Green and white striped covers turn a Hemnes daybed into the sofa side of a breakfast nook. A glass cabinet, round table and checkerboard rug complete the relaxed kitchen corner.

The quick answer

Hemnes daybed back cushions can be ordered without the rest of the set: two backrests with covers and inserts, a mattress cover plus two filled backrests, or the two round backrests alone. Each round backrest is 31 x 39 in (79 x 99 cm), so two cover a 31 x 79 in daybed. Bolsters can become rectangular pillows.

Pieces you can order on their own

  • Two backrests, with covers and inserts.
  • The mattress cover plus two filled backrests.
  • The two round backrests alone, 31 x 39 in (79 x 99 cm) each.
  • Two rectangular pillows in place of the round bolsters.
  • A straight back-only pillow, about 36 x 12 in (91 x 30 cm), on a custom listing.

Before the parts go in the cart

  1. Decide whether the sides should be wrapped. Standard backrests are L-shaped; a straight pillow sits on the back only.
  2. Measure the mattress, not the frame. Backrests and bolsters are sized from the mattress cover measurements, as the Hemnes measuring pattern shows.
  3. Choose the firmness. The inserts are foam, and the firmness can be adjusted.
  4. Add each part to the cart. They ship together.

Lumbar backrests with bolsters, or L-shaped backrests?

Most sets pair lumbar backrests with separate round bolsters at the ends. The other design is a pair of L-shaped round backrests that wrap the sides.

In a breakfast nook, a straight back pillow keeps the ends open for sliding in. In a reading corner, wrapped sides feel like being held. Height is a feeling. More shapes live in the Hemnes daybed covers atlas. Where do you sit on yours, at the end or in the middle?

The frame stays. The pieces change. The room decides.

Hemnes daybed bolsters are optional: order two rectangular pillows in their place, or one straight back pillow about 36 x 12 in.

Buyer questions

  1. A common question

    Do you make covers for the IKEA Hemnes daybed, and can I get just the back cushions?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. There's a dedicated Hemnes set with the mattress cover, backrests and bolsters, and parts can be ordered alone, such as just the two backrests with covers and inserts.

  2. A common question

    Can I order only the round backrests?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Each round backrest is 31 x 39 in, so two of them cover the full 31 x 79 in length of the daybed, without the rest of the set.

  3. A common question

    Can I buy only the mattress cover and back pillows?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes: two filled backrests plus a mattress cover without foam, with the running sale applied. A straight back-only option, about 36 in long by 12 in deep, comes on a custom listing.

  4. A common question

    Can I swap the round bolsters for rectangular pillows?

    The workshop's answer

    Yes. Order the set with two rectangular pillows in place of the bolsters, or the back pillows and mattress cover separately. Inserts are foam with adjustable firmness.

Questions buyers ask next

Do I have to give sizes for the backrests?

No. Backrests and bolsters are sized from your mattress cover measurements. Standard backrests stand about 19 3/4 in (50 cm) high, and other heights are possible.

Can each Hemnes piece be a different fabric?

Yes. Cover and piping can be any chart color, the set comes in corduroy, velvet or linen, and the pieces can even use different fabrics from one another.

Should I add a little to my mattress measurements?

No. Give the exact mattress measurements. The workshop adds the seam and fit allowance itself, and padding the numbers makes the cover sit loose and crinkled.
