If you’re a small car owner, no doubt you’ve gone to Ikea, gazed wistfully at a piece of furniture and sadly thought, “Forget it. There’s no way that will fit in my car.” In actuality, you can fit an impressive array of larger Ikea products in a small compact car, according to Daniela Rivera, marketing specialist for Ikea’s Costa Mesa, CA location,.
Buying furniture from most furniture stores means either having it delivered or taking some form of truck. IKEA furniture comes in a box, so transportation can be less of a problem. That said, can you fit a bed in a car? That would depend on two things; the size of the bed and the size of the car.
When you have new IKEA furniture delivered, we can pick up the old goods in the same trip for an on-the-spot swop. Can I fit a mattress in my car? Most mattresses won’t fit inside a car’s trunk or hatch. Some vehicles, however, are ideal for moving a twin, full, double, queen, or even king-sized mattress.
That would depend on two things; the size of the bed and the size of the car. Full-sized cars may be able to carry up to a king-sized bed. Smaller cars, such as a Prius, may be able to carry up to a full-sized bed. It’s possible that a larger bed would fit, but it would be tight and it would be wise to take measurements before purchase.
Can IKEA products fit in a Honda Fit?
“Ikea’s products are compressed and flat packed so you can fit them in your car and take them home that day,” Rivera said. “It’s all part of Ikea’s sustainability mission.” To test this philosophy, we asked Rivera to identify Ikea’s most iconic products for us to fit into our small car; in this case, a 2015 Honda Fit *.
Does IKEA pickup furniture?
The other option for those with small vehicles and no friends with a handy pickup is to have the furniture delivered. However, as most IKEA shoppers have discovered, this is an expensive option. The cost can be more than the item being shipped, effectively doubling the price.
