Healthy sleep is the basis for the well-being of a modern person. First of all, your sleeping place can provide a good rest at night. For good, quality sleep, the best place to sleep is in a room that is pre-ventilated before going to bed, and is securely isolated from light sources such as street lamps, illuminated billboards and neon signs. Doctors recommend not eating at least a couple of hours before bedtime, since at night all processes in the body slow down, food does not have time to be digested and it rots in the stomach, which leads to bad breath in the morning. As for sleeping furniture, a bed or sofa with a medium-hard mattress is best for sleeping. This is exactly what the Bedinge mattress from IKEA is.
What is
The Bedinge sofa from Ikea is a standard model with a click-clack mechanism. It is distinguished from other products by its relatively low cost, long service life, and varied equipment. The store invites customers to independently choose the desired type of mattress, armrests, and linen drawers. Thanks to the variety of colors (10 shades are on sale), the sofa fits harmoniously into any interior, and the ability to purchase covers separately allows owners to periodically update the furniture design.
This model is a simple three-seater sofa (its dimensions are relatively compact - 200 x 104 x 91 cm), which effortlessly turns into a spacious double bed. Easy to assemble yourself like a construction set. In addition, the product weighs only 37 kg, and you can deliver it home from the store by car, since the packaging does not take up much space.
The sofa is assembled from a frame, cover and mattress. The latter is presented in several models of varying density and thickness. Two pillows for armrests, as well as a linen box, are included in the package at the request of the consumer. The manufacturer provides a 5-year warranty for the Bedinge sofa.
Those who are not yet familiar with products from Ikea should know that the names of many products are made up of the names of selected components; for example, a person can purchase a Bedinge Levos Ransta green sofa.

Design elements and materials used
Bedinge's standard equipment includes:
- A durable metal frame into which plywood crossbars are inserted, acting as a shock absorber.
- Sofa mattress. Its upper layer is orthopedic, follows the contours of the body and provides comfortable rest. The mattress consists of polyester and cotton; synthetic wool and non-woven polypropylene are used for padding. The fittings of this element are made of zippers and Velcro. When purchasing a mattress, you should pay attention to the thickness. There are several modifications to choose from: Levos (single-layer, 12 centimeters wide, inexpensive, but will quickly become unusable), Murbo (hard, of the same thickness), Walla (softer and the most expensive two-layer option), Hovet (non-rigid, made of foam rubber and latex).
- Removable cover. Due to the fact that this element can be easily removed for cleaning or replaced with a new one, you don’t have to worry about stains or dirt on the surface of the product. The cover can be machine washed or dry cleaned. If desired, you can purchase several additional capes of different colors and periodically replace them, refreshing the interior. The store offers the following shade options: beige, brown, green, red, white.
- Two pillows. They also have removable covers that can be easily machine washed or replaced with others. These elements perform the function of armrests and are included in the price of the sofa at the discretion of the consumer.
Future owners are offered one more additional element - a box for storing bed linen. During assembly, this part is easily installed under the base, and then easily dismantled if necessary.
In order to assemble the selected sofa set, the client needs to take the necessary parts himself, guided by the numbers of the warehouse departments indicated on the tag in which each of the components is stored.
Materials
The Ikea Bedinge sofa is made of quality materials. A fairly long service life (up to 10 years) is direct proof of this. If you handle the furniture with care, the product will last even longer.
The frame is metal, coated with epoxy/polyester powder. The shock absorption effect is created by inserted plywood slats (lamellas). They are relatively fragile, so you should refrain from jumping or moving too quickly on the sofa.
The mattress is fabric, made of 79% cotton and 21% polyester. There are several layers, one of which is orthopedic, following the contours of the body and ensuring the correct position of the spine during sleep. Such mattresses are recommended for anyone who has problems with the musculoskeletal system or to prevent them. The covers themselves can be safely machine washed and dry cleaned.
The padding is made of non-woven polypropylene and synthetic wool. Artificial additives increase the wear resistance of the product. In this case, there is also resistance to bending and abrasion, and hypoallergenicity. Upon tactile contact, the sensations are similar to cotton materials.
The accessories include soft, elastic zippers and strong, durable Velcro.
The frame of the laundry box is made of particle board (chipboard), plastic and melamine. Its bottom is made of wood fiberboard (DFB), and it is additionally coated with acrylic paint. The design is quite strong, reliable, and can withstand a good load - 2-3 pillows, 2 blankets and linen.

The cover consists of two parts, for the back and seat. The parts of the cover are placed on the corresponding halves of the mattress and connected to each other with a zipper. Covers can only be put on in the “sofa” position, i.e. with a raised back.

To unfold the BEDINGE into a bed position, you need to unfasten the zipper connecting the halves of the cover. After this, the cover is removed, and you need to lift the sofa seat until it clicks. After a click, the seat returns back, and the backrest remains in a horizontal position.
