Ikea Mattress

Overall Rating

Summary

As a world's leading furniture retailer, IKEA works hard to achieve quality at affordable prices for their customers.

IKEA offers spring mattress, foam/memory foam mattress, latex and hybrid mattress, each type coming with multiple models for customers to choose from. The price range of Ikea Mattresses is $90 - $1,200, and most of their products are priced under $500. With the low costs and long trial period (365 days), Ikea Mattress can be a smart choice for people on a tight budget.

Generally speaking, most of IKEA’s mattresses offer a firm feel which makes it difficult to be considered as conforming since the medium firmness is most people's choice. Apart from the less-than-ideal firmness, its durability can be a disappointment too.

Detailed Evaluation

Durability

All three kinds of mattresses tend to have a below-average lifespan according to thousands of customer reviews.

Ikea Spring Mattresses receive many complaints about it's sagging and development of body impressions problems. It seems that thicker models receive more complaints than thinner ones.

Ikea Foam / Memory Foam Mattresses are reported to have sagging issues. To ensure long support, the thickness of the comfort layer should be within one inch. However,  Ikea's comfort layers are all thicker than 2", which may answer the question why thicker models receive more complaints about rapid degeneration.

Ikea latex mattresses are reported to have body impression development issue, which is in fact a shared problem for all latex mattresses in general.

Construction

All Ikea mattresses have covers made from polyester and rayon except for the Holmsbu hybrid model.

Among all the foam mattresses, the cheaper models' comfort layers are made from polyurethane foam while the pricer ones use memory foam layers that provide better pressure relief.

Since some models lack a well-constructed support layer, they cannot escape the destiny of sagging after a few years.

The newly launched Morgongåva mattress (unavailable online) contains one layer made of 85% natural latex and 15% synthetic latex. This mattress is not available online.
