Ikea size mattress base

Options
I am interested in buying one of Ikea's foam mattresses as they seem to be good value for money and are slightly bigger than UK size, however they do not have a mattress base that I like (you cannot fit headboards to Ikea's bases and they dont have drawers). Basically I am looking for a standard divan base (with drawers) but in Ikea's larger European size. I have phoned my local bed shop and they are quoting me £325 for one with drawers compared to around £160 for a standard double. Apparently they have to be made specially hence the higher price. Anyone know of a company that sells cheap non-standard size mattress bases?

    i'm gonna say some thing real stupid now... :rolleyes: i'm sure i've seen beds at ikea at wembely with draws/underneath storage options ect...

    it might be worth having another look at ikea!
  • Bruce not a stupid reply at all. There is one base at Ikea where you can store things below but you have to lift the mattress up to do it (not very convenient) and also you cannot fit a headboard to these bases. They have bedframes with built in headboards but I am just looking for your bog-standard platform-top bed base in Ikea size.
