Briefly about IKEA
A large Swedish company operating in the household goods market for more than 60 years, it has earned a reputation as a responsible and reliable manufacturer. Mattresses from IKEA are budget-friendly and of good quality.
An attractive aspect is the long warranty that IKEA provides for its products. For some types of goods the warranty period is 25 years.
All products are sold in special vacuum packaging, which greatly facilitates the transportation of mattresses from the store.
For ease of transportation, the product can be rolled up at the buyer's request. After removing the packaging, the mattress takes on the desired shape within 3 days.
If the purchased mattress does not suit the consumer for some reason, it can be returned within 90 days from the date of purchase.
Customer Reviews
Method
Our research is based on 117 reviews from real Ikea mattress owners, collected from various sources. We do not represent the interests of any of the companies and do not receive compensation. The data presented in the article refers to orthopedic mattresses with an independent spring block.
pros
The lowest price among orthopedic mattresses.
There are a number of reviews about the positive effects on the spine and neck.
Minuses
Ikea mattresses are the leader in the number of negative reviews. Buyers are mostly dissatisfied with the quality and fragility of mattresses
Quite a large number of consumers complain about the poor quality of spring blocks, noting the following disadvantages:
- Subsidence of springs (pits and bumps are formed).
- Discomfortable sensations (springs bulge, felt when lying down).
- Damage to the fabric (hard springs break through the covers and filling, literally digging into the body).
Another disadvantage is the presence of a pronounced chemical odor. According to the data, it is considered normal within 10-14 days after purchase. Some Ikea products had to be aired for a month or placed on the balcony.
As for the benefits for the spine and neck, opinions are divided. For some, the mattress relieves pain and promotes good health; for others, on the contrary, excessive softness causes dizziness and discomfort in the back.
Ikea mattresses are not suitable for partners with a significant difference in weight - the design transfers the slightest vibrations from one sleeper to the other (typical of Bonnell dependent spring blocks).
Allergy sufferers also need to be careful - the synthetic materials used can provoke an exacerbation.
Otherwise, the product is fully consistent with its price category.
Specialized Ikea stores can be found only in large cities of Russia; some intermediary companies also deliver to regions (usually at a slightly higher price).
Types of mattresses
The range of mattresses offered by the Swedish company includes several product groups.
These include products with and without a spring block, thin mattresses and mattress covers, which are an intermediate product between a mattress and a bed cover.

Features of choice
IKEA does not have a traditional division into series, since the company is not directly involved in the production of mattresses. All models presented for sale are manufactured at Ascona's own factories.
However, the assortment includes separate categories of products, which will simplify the selection of a suitable accessory:
Bonnel spring mattresses
Quite affordable models for people with average body weight. This category of mattresses is more suitable for equipping single or semi-size beds, since spring blocks transmit movement over the entire surface. The range includes both adult and children's models.
Mattresses with independent spring blocks
They have good orthopedic properties and can withstand increased loads. The optimal choice for married couples (including those with differences in weight), as well as for people with back or joint problems. It is these models that in most cases are covered by the store’s extended warranty.
Springless mattresses
IKEA offers springless mattresses made from artificial latex (polyurethane foam). As a rule, they have a relief surface of the working layer, which should create some massage effect.
There are also options lined with a layer of memory foam. They are suitable for older people and those who suffer from swelling or poor circulation. On such mattresses, the response pressure of the bed on the body is minimal, and there will be no feeling of numb limbs.
Thin mattresses
They are a separate category, but they are made according to the same principle as springless ones. They differ only in thickness (from 1 to 8 cm) and softness. They are used as toppers to level out unevenness in the bed and soften it.
Mattresses for children's beds
IKEA has spring and springless mattresses for newborns and older children. Models for cribs can be considered for purchase only in one case - if you are going to additionally lay a stiffer topper. The polyurethane used here will not provide adequate support for the baby's weak spine.
But for older guys there are really good mattresses. It’s especially worth taking a closer look at mattresses with additional blocks for those who have already bought a pull-out bed for their children’s room at Ikea.
In the IKEA assortment, almost all mattresses are declared as hard or very hard. But in fact they turn out to be somewhat softer than you might expect - take this into account when ordering online.
If you make a purchase directly from a store, test the mattresses you like - lie on each one for a few minutes in different positions. It’s only better that there are no mattress covers on the bed. And remember that exhibition copies, after numerous checks by buyers, partially lose their original rigidity.
Thin mattresses
This product group is designed for use as an additional mattress for beds, upholstered furniture or folding beds.
Depending on the model, the topper allows you to extend the life of the main mattress and make the sleeping area harder or softer.
The height of the toppers varies from 2 to 7 cm.
The most popular are Trandal, Torsta, Tveit.
Thin mattresses are comfortable and low cost. They are often purchased for old furniture or in order to make sleeping on standard upholstered furniture more complete.
Among other sleep products, a folding bed with a mattress from Ikea deserves attention. The budget option is equipped with a thin mattress of excellent quality, which will allow you to comfortably accommodate your visiting guests.
The best IKEA mattresses
The rating includes spring and springless mattresses, as well as thin toppers from Ikea, which will allow you to organize a comfortable sleeping place at a reasonable price.
Ikea Hokkasen
With two spring blocks
The mattress, which is very unusual in its design, is distinguished by its very large thickness and soft surface. It doesn't just look comfortable, it actually is.
Reasons to buy:
- surface with memory effect;
- ideal support for the body during sleep;
- it is not hot on the memory foam even in summer;
- the cover is removable for cleaning;
- extended warranty.
Inside the Hokkosen there are two independent spring blocks located one above the other: a standard one and one consisting of short mini-springs. Even in premium mattresses, such an unusual solution is rarely found.
This is what allows the model to provide ideal differentiated support for all areas of your body, depending on the load created. In total, there are 500 small and standard springs per bed.
The blocks are separated from each other by a thin and pliable layer of filler, and the top is lined with latex and polyurethane memory foam. It completely follows the contours of the body, but due to its relatively small thickness it does not allow you to completely sink into the mattress.
Hokkosen is very thick, which makes it difficult to match it with a mattress pad and fitted sheets. But IKEA has suitable accessories for such a huge mattress.
Ikea Hornindal
More springs = better support
A very hard mattress with an orthopedic effect is suitable for fairly heavy people, providing proper support for the body during sleep.
Reasons to buy:
- really high rigidity;
- a large number of springs;
- reinforced box around the perimeter;
- durability and warranty up to 25 years.
Among IKEA mattresses with an independent block of springs, Hernindal has the highest density of their arrangement - 235 pcs./sq.m., and each is packaged in a separate bag. Moreover, around the perimeter the entire block is held in place by a thin metal tie, plus a polyurethane box.
A thick slab of coconut coir is laid on top of the springs, complemented by much thinner natural latex. This results in a high firmness of the mattress - ideal for those who do not like to sink or sleep on their stomach.
Ikea Hareid
With a massage effect
This mattress is declared as hard, but its rigidity is comfortable - mainly due to the thick relief layer of polyurethane foam, which slightly moves under the weight of the body.
Reasons to buy:
- 5-zone spring block;
- does not convey movement;
- silent;
- removable cover;
- warranty up to 25 years.
An independent block of springs, each of which is hidden in an individual case, is also covered along the contour with a metal restrictive tie. It does not interfere with the work of the spirals in compression, but does not allow them to creep apart under load. A fairly thick polyurethane box serves the same purpose.
Thin layers of sisal and coconut coir are laid on top of the spring block. Their main task is to separate the steel spirals from the soft top filler. Its role is played by relief-cut polyurethane foam, which creates a pleasant massage effect during sleep.
The mattress has a height of 23 cm and is covered with a dense cover made of synthetic fabric with the addition of cotton. Thanks to the zipper, it is removable for cleaning. A special shampoo for upholstered furniture is suitable for this, but it cannot be washed. The model with an independent block is ideal for married couples.
Ikea Innerlig (Innerlig)
Growing children's mattress
Innerlig is designed specifically for IKEA extendable beds, which “grow” with the child. The mattress can be extended using two additional sections that come included.
Reasons to buy:
- possibility to increase length;
- The removable cover is machine washable;
- polyurethane box around the perimeter;
- safe lightning.
The basis of the children's mattress is a block of shortened steel Bonnel springs. Due to their low height, they provide more rigid spinal support needed by a growing child. The block is lined with felt and covered with a layer of polyurethane foam for greater comfort.
The length of the mattress itself is 130 cm, but by inserting additional blocks at the foot, it can be increased first to 165, and then to a completely “adult” 200 cm. You can buy such a mattress for a preschooler, and it will easily serve him until adolescence.
By the way, additional pillows no longer contain spring filler - only polyurethane foam. But they have Velcro on the ends, allowing you to securely fix the extended length.
The mattress cover is made of mixed fabric with an increased percentage of cotton. Under it there is another one - non-removable, making it easier to pull on the mattress cover after washing. To protect the filling from curious children, and the little ones themselves from injury, the zipper slider does not have a tongue. To remove the cover, you can use a straightened paper clip.
Ikea Hamarvik (Hamarvik)
Hard mattress with bonnel springs
A one-sided mattress with a dependent spring block is suitable for teenagers and adults of average weight.
Reasons to buy:
- good air circulation;
- does not require turning over;
- the springs are not felt;
- Possibility of obtaining a warranty of up to 25 years.
Thanks to the use of Bonnell springs, the mattress turned out to be quite cheap. Despite this design, due to the high rigidity of the sides, the hammock effect does not occur here (if you do not exceed the recommended load of 100 kg).
A dense layer of polyester felt is laid on top of the spring block, and already above it is a rather thick polyurethane foam with a density of 25 kg/m3. The top layer increases the comfort of the sleeping place, but does not reduce the supporting ability of the spring mattress.
The cover of the one-sided product is sewn from three types of fabric. In the upper part there are more polyester fibers than cotton, which increases the material's resistance to wear. In addition, it is quite “tenacious”, so the sheets do not slide off it. The perimeter is lined with fabric, where there is more cotton - this is necessary for better breathability. From below comes 100% PE.
Ikea Tussoy
Instead of a topper
For a classic topper, Tussoy is, of course, a bit thick (8 cm), but the manufacturer also positions this model as a thin mattress. An excellent option for increasing the comfort of a sleeping place.
Reasons to buy:
- good density and support;
- shape memory effect;
- The cover is machine washable;
- rolls up.
An excellent springless mattress is a polyurethane memory foam block. This material takes on and “remembers” its body shape when exposed to human heat, so in a cool room the foam will take some time to do this.
The density of the filler is quite high for IKEA mattresses - 50 kg/m3. This ensures good support during sleep. But the softness is also preserved, for which, in fact, this topper is taken. The model is enclosed in a fabric cover with a zipper, which can be washed at 60°.
Ikea Jomna
The best inexpensive mattress
One of the cheapest IKEA mattresses turned out to be extremely successful. Moderate hardness and fairly dense filling make it a suitable option for people without special requirements for a sleeping place.
Reasons to buy:
- both sides can be used;
- surface with a massage effect;
- rolls up;
- zippered cover;
- very low price.
The single-layer polyurethane foam mattress has medium hardness. The foam block is smooth on one side and has a pronounced relief on the other, creating the effect of a light massage during sleep.
The 10 cm thick model is wrapped in a polyester case - by the way, it’s quite thin. The density of the filler is enough so that you don’t feel the slatted bottom of the slatted bed through it.
Children's mattresses
For children and teenagers, the company offers a wide range of mattresses that differ in size and content.
IKEA children's mattresses have soft or medium hardness, high-quality hypoallergenic filling and a height of 8 to 12 cm.
Mattresses for cribs are equipped with removable covers made of material that is resistant to numerous washes.
Folding mattress
The product is a unique set of three identical-sized blocks that can be folded and unfolded in a matter of seconds.
This mattress is designed to accommodate guests directly on the floor. When folded, the model is compact and convenient for storage.
Care Tips
Having an understanding of the internal structure of the mattress, it is easy to provide proper care for it, allowing you to extend the life of the product:
- The mattress should be protected from moisture. If moisture gets on it, the product should be thoroughly dried to avoid corrosion of the springs.
- The product should be selected in accordance with the weight of the person for whom the mattress is intended.
- The mattress should be turned over periodically.
- To prolong the service life and preserve the aesthetic appearance, it is recommended to use a mattress cover.
Ikea mattresses meet all safety requirements, are durable and comfortable to sleep. You can choose the ideal mattress for yourself by studying the technical characteristics and photos of Ikea mattresses on the Internet.
