Hi everyone,

I hope everyone is enjoying their sunny days :)

I have an Ikea Tarva bed which is 140 X 200 in size. I wanted to ask everyone what should be the size of the 'sommiers' that go into this bed? Should it 140 X200 or 140 X 195 or something else?

I have never had beds which come with sommiers, they were just normal beds with a full base underneath :( So, please tell me what is the ideal way of calculating Lit + Sommier sizes.

Thank you all!

Quick solution :) -> Visit one of the shops specialized in selling lit+sommier (Example: http://www.leroidumatelas.be) They will show you various combinations and you can test which the mattress fits the cot (of certain dimensions), etc
