Overview
- IKEA confirmed Wednesday that it will remove the bulk of the Malm bedroom items between 2026 and 2027 and that production of the affected models has already been stopped.
- Stores have begun promoted clearance sales of remaining Malm stock, with discounts and social‑media posts publicizing time‑limited offers that reporting says run through the end of August.
- The company said some Malm pieces will remain available because no current alternative in its assortment covers those specific styles or storage needs.
- Reports identify a possible successor collection called Storklinta in some markets but IKEA has not disclosed full details or a global rollout plan for replacement products.
- Malm has been a mass‑market staple since the early 2000s with millions sold, and the phase‑out is drawing strong customer reaction online while IKEA positions the move as a routine assortment refresh.
