Now you can. Airbnb and Ikea have partnered to allow a group of Australians to sleep in the Scandinavian furniture store for one night only on August 21 in Sydney for a mere 11 Australian dollars. Participants must sign a waiver acknowledging that they will “be awoken in the morning in a remarkable way,” [according to Mashable](http://mashable.com/2014/08/21/sleep-in-ikea-for-the-night-make-your-dreams-come-true/?utm%5Fcid=mash-com-Tw-main-link). The store goes on to reassure the guests, “Nothing frightening — we promise!” \[[_Mashable_](http://mashable.com/2014/08/21/sleep-in-ikea-for-the-night-make-your-dreams-come-true/?utm%5Fcid=mash-com-Tw-main-link)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3156287/you-can-sleep-in-ikea-for-a-night-thanks-to-airbnb/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3156287/you-can-sleep-in-ikea-for-a-night-thanks-to-airbnb/"},"headline":"You Can Sleep in Ikea for a Night Thanks to Airbnb","datePublished":"2014-08-22T00:23:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:12:40.688Z","description":"Don't worry, you don't have to put the furniture together yourself","url":"https://time.com/3156287/you-can-sleep-in-ikea-for-a-night-thanks-to-airbnb/","keywords":["Newsfeed","World"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf3fc19697b966bd3/6986a0823617605ee590d8ff/135241947.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf3fc19697b966bd3/6986a0823617605ee590d8ff/135241947.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"IKEA Build A Creche For Men","caption":"IKEA Build A Creche For Men","creditText":"Newspix/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3156287/you-can-sleep-in-ikea-for-a-night-thanks-to-airbnb/","name":"You Can Sleep in Ikea for a Night Thanks to Airbnb"}}]}] ```
