Ivory Hemnes Daybed Covers, Drawn in Crimson
A white daybed, two prints, a jute rug. Every edge drawn in red. The order behind it needed three numbers and two codes.
Ivory linen-look covers outlined in crimson piping give a white Hemnes daybed a crisp graphic finish. Two framed prints above mirror the pair of back cushions.
The quick answer
To order Hemnes daybed covers right the first time, measure your own mattresses rather than trusting a listing, because Hemnes versions differ between countries. Send length, width and combined height, name the body and piping codes, and ask for the chart if your fabric is not shown. One buyer's mattresses measured 78.75 x 31.5 in (200 x 80 cm), 9.5 in (24 cm) combined.
Every edge, drawn in red
A white Hemnes daybed. Two framed nature prints above it. Sheer curtains, a jute rug, a monstera in a white pot. And ivory covers with every edge drawn in crimson.
A pale body with dark piping is the most graphic way to dress a daybed. The red line runs along the mattress front and shows the fit. It circles the ends of two ivory bolsters. From across the room, you read the outline before the fabric.
The two prints hang over the two back cushions. A small symmetry, and it makes wall and daybed feel planned together. Jute underfoot and a pine side table with books and a remote add warmth, so the ivory never turns cold. Soft daylight through the sheers keeps the crimson from getting loud.
If you choose this pairing, repeat the piping color once more in the room. A book spine, a print, a pillow. Once is an accident. Twice is a decision.
The cloth comes from the linen-look fabrics. The set belongs with the IKEA Hemnes daybed covers, the round ends with the bolster pillows, and the room with the living room cushions.
Five pins on a white daybed
Five pins, from the crimson-piped bolster to the jute rug, show how one red line organizes a pale room.
- Crimson-piped bolster
Crimson on ivory gives a crisp, graphic outline that reads from across the room.
- Crimson mattress edge
The red line follows the mattress front and shows off the neat fit.
- Ivory back cushion
Ivory backs keep the daybed light beneath the prints.
- Pair of framed prints
Two prints hung above echo the pair of back cushions below.
- Jute rug
Natural jute warms up the ivory and white.

One number, 9.5 in (24 cm), and a pause
A buyer wrote to the workshop and ordered the Hemnes cover set. The message gave a thickness, 9.5 in (24 cm), and nothing else. No length. No width.
The workshop paused before cutting and asked. Hemnes mattresses vary from country to country, so a listing size is a guess until you measure your own. The buyer measured: 78.75 x 31.5 in (200 x 80 cm).
There was a second gap. The buyer wanted linen, but only velvet and soft fabrics showed on the listing. The linen charts were sent in the thread, and the code was chosen from them. The Hemnes cover measuring Pattern lists every line to take, and the personalization note Pattern shows where the codes go.
Two questions. Two answers. No remake.
What a first-time-right message holds
- Length and width of your own mattress, measured today, not copied from a listing.
- Combined height of both mattresses, if the cover wraps the stack.
- The body code and the piping code, written out in full.
- The chart you chose from, or a request for the chart you cannot see.
- For a large or unusual build, a request to see the production drawing before cutting.
Buyer questions: Kallax tops, delivery time, a concrete daybed outdoors
- A common question
What size cushion fits on top of a 4-cube IKEA Kallax?
The workshop's answerA 4-cube Kallax top is about 15 x 57 in (39 x 146.5 cm). Choose the 16 x 59 in option and the cushion is made to the exact Kallax size.
- A common question
Is shipping included, and how long does it take from order to door?
The workshop's answerAsk the workshop to state shipping cost on the quote. In one thread, production and delivery together came to one to two weeks.
- A common question
Can you make premium outdoor cushions for a large concrete daybed?
The workshop's answerYes. Two seat cushions of about 58.75 x 99.4 x 5.9 in (1492.5 x 2524 x 150 mm) were quoted, with two round head cushions. The spec: 32-density medium-firm foam, premium outdoor fabric, UV-resistant thread, a breathable mesh base for drainage, a concealed heavy-duty zipper, double welt in matching fabric and removable covers. Production took about 10-14 days, and a production drawing went out for approval before cutting.

A good size is a quiet thing. You notice it only when it is wrong. Let the workshop check yours first. — Hana
Leave your details and the workshop will call you to confirm measurements, fabric, foam and piping. No prices, dates or payment on this page: it is a request, not an order.
Hemnes daybed covers go wrong in one sentence: a thickness with no length or width. Send all three numbers, taken from your own mattresses.

Questions buyers ask next
Do Hemnes daybed mattresses measure the same everywhere?
No. Hemnes versions differ between countries, which is why the workshop paused one order that gave only a thickness. Measure the length, width and combined height of your own two mattresses before you order covers.
How do I make crimson piping look intentional on ivory daybed covers?
Repeat the piping color once more in the room: a book spine, a print or a pillow. Hanging two prints over the two back cushions adds a simple symmetry, so wall and daybed read as one plan.
Can I order a daybed cover fabric that isn't shown on the listing?
Yes. In one order the buyer wanted linen while only velvet and soft fabrics showed on the listing, so the linen charts were sent in the message thread and the code was chosen from them.
When does a production drawing come before cutting?
On large or unusual builds. For a pair of outdoor daybed cushions about 58.75 x 99.4 in (1492.5 x 2524 mm), a production drawing went out for approval before anything was cut. It is worth asking about on any out-of-the-ordinary shape.
