IKEA Customers Slept Over In The Store's Beds During A Danish Snowstorm & Lived The Dream

IKEA typically doesn't let you sleep in the cosy display beds at it stores — but a few lucky people are now the exception to the rule.

More than two dozen people spent the night in a Denmark IKEA's showroom this week, after a winter storm buried their cars under a heavy blanket of snow, The Associated Press reports.

The storm hit late Wednesday in Aalborg, Denmark, leaving six customers, many IKEA employees and staff from a nearby toy shop stranded at the store.

But don't feel too badly for them, because they had a blast.

The stranded customers and staff enjoyed dinner from IKEA's cantina, kicked back and enjoyed some football on the TV and then they each picked out a ready-made bed where they would spend the night, TK reports.

"The evening went very fast before we went to bed between [11 p.m.] and 1 a.m.," store manager Peter Elmose told Ekstra Bladet, a Danish newspaper.

"There was plenty of room for you to pick the bed you've always wanted to try."

Customer Erik Bangsgaard said he and his wife decided to stay at the store for their night, and they enjoyed sleeping in the fold-out sofa that they chose. However, it was a bit awkward because the bright showroom lights stayed on throughout the night.

"They could not dampen it, so we just had to try to sleep anyway," he told TV2Nord.

Everyone went home in the morning and IKEA changed the sheets on all the beds afterward, but not before sharing a few photos and videos of the scene after a very unusual night.

Toy store employee Michelle Barrett told Denmark's DR broadcaster that it was an unusual but unforgettable scenario.

"We just laughed at the situation, because we will probably not experience it again," she said.
