If you have ever visited an IKEA store and thought how cool it would be if you could just lie down on one of those soft beds, cover yourself with a fluffy blankets and nap---some Chinese IKEA visitors are doing exactly that.

An Ikea store in Nanjing, capital of East China's Jiangsu province, is considering slapping a ban on those who take a nap on the comfy furniture, after a Sina Weibo post published photos showing people stretching out on beds and ruffled sheets on even non-occupied beds, along with such comments as "from age 0 to 80, each of them has fallen into a rapturous sleep! ", Nanjing-based Jinling Evening News reported Thursday.

This is reportedly the first Chinese Ikea store that is planning a zero tolerance approach toward those who make themselves a little too much at home, as the company had always avoided taking action as it did not want to ruffle potential customers.
