Does IKEA Sell Adjustable Beds? What LEIRSUND Actually Does (2026)

Quick Answer: No — IKEA does not sell a motorized, remote-controlled adjustable bed base. What IKEA calls “adjustable” is the LEIRSUND slatted bed base, a roughly $200 slat system you fold up by hand at the head and foot end, with 6 of its 45 slats offering tunable firmness, per IKEA’s own product listing. It has no motor, no remote, and no presets. If you want an actual power-adjustable base — one that reclines to a set angle, holds zero-gravity, or adds massage — you’ll need a dedicated brand like Sven & Son or Lucid, and fitting one inside an IKEA frame like the MALM comes with its own compatibility catch.

“Adjustable bed IKEA” is a common enough search that it’s worth answering directly: IKEA’s catalog has nothing that matches what most people mean by an adjustable bed. Here’s what LEIRSUND actually is, and what to do if you want the real thing on an IKEA frame.

What IKEA actually sells

Per IKEA’s own product page, LEIRSUND has 45 layer-glued wood slats arranged into 5 comfort zones, and it’s built to pair with an IKEA bed frame rather than stand alone. IKEA’s listing also specifies it should be used with a foam or latex mattress — not a spring mattress — since the folding slats need a mattress that flexes with them rather than one built around internal coils. That’s a real, useful product for fine-tuning mattress firmness and getting a manual read-in-bed angle. It’s just not the same category as the motorized bases this site covers.

Fitting a real motorized base into an IKEA frame

If you already own an IKEA frame — the MALM is the most common one people ask about — swapping in a motorized base isn’t as simple as it is with a standard platform frame. MALM ships with a galvanized steel SKORVA center support beam that runs the length of the frame for stability. That fixed beam, plus IKEA’s own LURÖY/LÖNSET slat systems, isn’t the same open, lift-out-slat-in-a-channel design that most motorized bases are built to drop into — our platform bed compatibility guide covers that channel-and-slat check in detail, and it doesn’t map cleanly onto MALM’s fixed structure.

Some owners report success after removing the SKORVA beam and the stock slats entirely, effectively using the MALM’s outer frame as a shell around the motorized base. That’s not an officially supported configuration on either IKEA’s or the base manufacturers’ side, so measure your frame’s actual inside rail width and length against the base’s listed footprint before ordering anything, and don’t assume it’ll work.

For most MALM or other IKEA-frame owners, that zero-clearance approach is the less risky path: instead of gutting the frame’s internal structure and hoping the geometry works out, the base rests on top of what’s already there.

The bottom line

IKEA doesn’t sell a power-adjustable bed base — LEIRSUND is a manual, hand-folded slat system with tunable firmness zones, not a motorized recline-and-preset base like the ones reviewed across this site. If you own an IKEA frame and want real motorized adjustment, check your frame’s structure first: MALM’s fixed SKORVA center beam can block a standard base’s legs, so a zero-clearance design that rests on top of the frame is usually the safer fit than trying to gut the frame’s internals.
