Can I get just a replacement mattress cover for my IKEA daybed?

Also asked as:Just a simple slipcover for the Hemnes?A replacement for the fabric on this IKEA bed.

Sometimes the frame is fine and the mattress is fine. Only the fabric is tired. You can replace just that.

White Hemnes daybed with a plain crimson mattress cover, red and cream striped back cushions and striped bolstersSave
The reverse mix: a plain crimson mattress with striped back cushions and bolsters. The pattern now frames the seat instead of covering it.

The quick answer

You can get just a replacement mattress cover for an IKEA daybed by choosing the Cover Only option on the daybed cover set listing. It is the slipcover alone, without the backrests or armrest bolsters, and it comes without foam. Write your exact mattress dimensions and fabric code in personalization, and measure the mattress itself, not the frame.

Before you order the cover alone

  • Measure the mattress, not the frame
  • Measure its thickness; for two stacked mattresses, measure them together
  • Choose Cover Only on the daybed cover set listing
  • Write exact length, width and thickness in personalization
  • Add the fabric code from the chart
  • Keep your mattress: no foam comes in the box

What Cover Only leaves out

  • The two filled backrest pillows
  • The two filled bolster armrests
  • The mattress and any foam

Hemnes sizes vary. Measure what you own.

In Europe and the UK the Hemnes mattress is 31.5 x 78.7 in (80 x 200 cm). Sizes vary by country. So measure the mattress on your frame, not the listing.

Add its thickness. If two mattresses are stacked, give the combined height; together that is often about 8 to 9.5 in (20 to 24 cm). The Hemnes cover measuring Pattern walks through it step by step.

A cover now, the rest later

Cover Only is a starting point. Backrests, the mattress cover and bolsters can each be ordered separately, and bolsters can be swapped for rectangular pillows. Two backrests of 31 x 39 in (79 x 99 cm) each cover a 31 x 79 in (79 x 201 cm) daybed.

The full sets live under IKEA Hemnes daybed covers and daybed cushions. Is it the fabric you want to change, or the whole feeling of the room?

A cover is a small change. The room notices anyway. The frame stays; the color moves.

Cover Only means the mattress slipcover alone: no backrest pillows, no armrest bolsters and no foam inside.

Questions buyers ask next

Is the replacement mattress cover zippered?

The mattress cover made for the Hemnes set is a made-to-measure zippered cover, so it goes on over the mattress you already own and comes off again. Confirm your exact size in personalization before production.

Does it fit IKEA daybeds other than the Hemnes?

It's cut to your measurements, so it works as a replacement for the fabric on a Hemnes or another IKEA daybed mattress. The fit depends on the numbers you give: the length, width and thickness of the mattress itself.

My Hemnes has two mattresses stacked. What thickness do I give?

Give the combined height of both, measured together. Stacked mattresses often come to about 8 to 9.5 in (20 to 24 cm), and the cover is made to that total thickness.
