I want to create an array that looks like this:

ids = [1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6 ... N, N, N, N]

Right now I'm using a for loop between 1 and N and concatenating each set of numbers on to the array.

ids = []
for i=1:N
ids = [ids ones(1,6)*i]
end

This works perfectly fine, I'm just wondering if there might be better way of doing it.

Your current for-loop is among the worst options, as it increases the array in every iteration. Here are two of the many other ways to get the same matrix

N = 5 ;
m = 3 ;

ids1 = ceil(1:(m*N)/m)
ids2 = reshape(repmat(1:N,m,1),1,[])

N=10;P=4;

%%
reps=repmat(1:N,[P 1]);
reps=reps(:)';


%% Or,
reps = ceil([1:N*P]./P);

And another few alternatives, just for kicks:

% Data
N = 5 ;
m = 4 ;


% Engine 1
ids1 = expand(ceil(1:(m*N)/m)1,[1,m]) % EXPAND on the FEX

% Engine 2
ids1 = zeros(1,N*m);
ids1(1:m:end-1) = 1;
ids1 = cumsum(ids1)

Awesome! Thanks everyone.
