From reading around about Ikea Malm beds, I think I've gotten more confused than I was before. Here's my list of questions that I have concerning the Ikea Malm beds.

- Are the Ikea Malm bed sizes made to US bed sizes?

- Can I use boxsprings instead of the slats or do I need the basic slats to put the boxspring on top of?

- If I can use the boxsprings, will they fit just right or will they be siding around?

- Talking in the sense of buying online, will the mid-beam be included in the price of the bed frame?

- Can I use a boxspring + mattress NOT sold from Ikea?

- Are Ikea beds of quality enough? (Sturdy, long lasting, valuable for the price, etc)

Any answers would be appreciated, thanks.
