Every edge drawn in red. The order behind it needed three numbers and two codes.* > **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. ![Ivory linen-look Hemnes daybed covers with crimson piping, two framed prints above, a jute rug and a monstera beside](https://cushionguide.com/media/ikea-hemnes-daybed-covers/ivory-hemnes-daybed-crimson-piping-jute-rug-1600.webp "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.") ## 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](https://cushionguide.com/fabrics/linen-look-fabrics/). The set belongs with the [IKEA Hemnes daybed covers](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/ikea-hemnes-daybed-covers/), the round ends with the [bolster pillows](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/bolster-pillows/), and the room with the [living room cushions](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/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. 1. **Crimson-piped bolster**: Crimson on ivory gives a crisp, graphic outline that reads from across the room. 2. **Crimson mattress edge**: The red line follows the mattress front and shows off the neat fit. 3. **Ivory back cushion**: Ivory backs keep the daybed light beneath the prints. 4. **Pair of framed prints**: Two prints hung above echo the pair of back cushions below. 5. **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](https://cushionguide.com/guides/ikea-hemnes-daybed-cover-measuring/) Pattern lists every line to take, and the [personalization note](https://cushionguide.com/guides/custom-cushion-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 answer:** A 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 answer:** Ask 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 answer:** Yes. 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. ## On the cutting table: the ivory daybed set | | | |---|---| | Piece | Hemnes daybed cover set | | Fabric | Ivory linen-look | | Piping | Contrast crimson | | Edge | Box edge | | Extras | Two back cushions, two bolsters with piped ends | | Frame | White IKEA Hemnes daybed | | Light | Soft daylight through sheer curtains | | Measure | Length, width and combined height of your own mattresses | | Best for | Living room daybeds | > Hemnes daybed covers go wrong in one sentence: a thickness with no length or width.

Wait for the drawing. ## 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. ## Related at the atelier - [Hemnes Daybed Cover for Long Reading: Crimson, Mint Piping](https://cushionguide.com/readings/crimson-hemnes-daybed-mint-piping-palms/): A Hemnes daybed set becomes a place for long sitting when it has back cushions to lean on, bolsters at both arms and a fitted cover that stays smooth. - [Hemnes Daybed Cover in Rust Linen-Look with Charcoal Piping](https://cushionguide.com/readings/rust-hemnes-daybed-covers-charcoal-piping-white-room/): A rust linen-look cover on an IKEA Hemnes daybed gives a matte, lightly textured surface, and charcoal piping keeps the warm color from looking loud. - [Hemnes Daybed Cover for a Playroom: Orchid Pink, Ivory Piping](https://cushionguide.com/readings/orchid-pink-hemnes-daybed-kids-playroom/): For a Hemnes daybed cover in a child's room, choose a mid-tone, hard-wearing linen-look fabric and consider contrast piping in the wall color. - [Can you add piping to tufted cushions?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/piping-on-tufted-cushions/): Piping works on some tufted cushions but not on tufted daybed backrests and armrests, so those pieces switch to a plain, non-tufted style if you want piping everywhere, and the shop sends an example… - [Can I get just a replacement mattress cover for my IKEA daybed?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/daybed-mattress-replacement-cover-only/): You can get just a replacement mattress cover for an IKEA daybed by choosing the Cover Only option on the daybed cover set listing. - [What size cover do I need for my IKEA Hemnes daybed?](https://cushionguide.com/answers/daybed-mattress-cover-size-what-to-measure/): Measure your own mattress, not the wooden frame, and write its length, width and thickness. - [How to measure an IKEA Hemnes daybed: two stacked mattresses, one cover](https://cushionguide.com/guides/ikea-hemnes-daybed-cover-measuring/) - [How to make a daybed look like a sofa with back cushions and bolsters](https://cushionguide.com/guides/daybed-back-cushions-sofa-look/) *— Hana* --- Written by Hana Lindqvist (https://cushionguide.com/masters/hana/) for CushionGuide (https://cushionguide.com/about/).
