IKEA Mattress Review – An Introduction

IKEA is an international company which manufactures and distributes many goods but specializes in home and outdoor furniture, including mattresses. IKEA mattresses want to deliver a good to the mediocre quality Mattress but also want to be budget friendly. IKEA is known as one of the largest and the best home furniture and fittings provider which originated from Sweden. IKEA has plenty of showroom spots near the United States metro areas. IKEA’s products are manufactured in many countries. IKEA provided a very popular series of mattresses which became extremely popular, with its roll- packed mattresses. IKEA has a different business strategy. Unlike other mattress retail stores, IKEA concentrates on selling its fifteen different mattresses more on its in-store happenings rather than online sales.

 However, even if this is a good idea, there is still a drawback. Due to the lack of efforts on online sales, the list of the vast variety of mattresses that are displayed online are a bit confusing for the consumers. Furthermore, unlike the other mattresses companies, IKEA’s online shipping is not free. Even though mattresses of IKEA are a small segment of its product line, it has maintained a well- established presence in the mattress industry.

Affordable new mattresses can be purchased with a large variety of styles and different sizes. IKEA mattress reviews are extremely useful, and these reviews act as a helping tool for customers. These IKEA mattress reviews help form an intuition about the pros and cons, service, performance and many other features of ownership that would not be easily resolved from a store visit. By reading IKEA mattress reviews, an insight into the comfort and durability of the mattresses can be judged.

The six innerspring and hybrid IKEA mattresses that are available for purchase are:

In this review, we will be seeing how the pocketed coils hat it provides, offers better support and also reduces motion transfer, which makes it an ideal choice if two people are going to be using it.

After reviewing this mattress, it is not recommended for two grown adults or even one overweight individual as stated by many user reviews.

It is a mildly thicker version of the Haugesund innerspring, with a 1.8 PCF poly-foam comfort layer and a pocketed coil support core.

The eight foam and latex mattresses of IKEA that are available for purchase are:

The Minnesund Mattress

The reviews on this product state that it is an all- poly foam mattress that does not include a comfort layer. It is manufactured with a 1.7 PCF poly foam support core. It is the most inexpensive foam based mattress one can find. The cover is a standard polyester cover which is removable and easily washable. However, it is only four inches thick so support and comfort cannot be expected much from the mattress. It comes in three sizes, twin, full and queen, and it should work well with children under the age of 13. It is recommended to use this bed occasionally.

The Meistervik Mattress

It is a mildly thicker version of the Minnesund foam mattress. It does not contain a comfort layer but has a 1.7 PCF poly foam support core.

The Morgedal Mattress

It contains a 2.2 PCF high-resilience poly-foam comfort layer and a 1.7 PCF poly foam support core. Morgedal mattress is a poly foam bed which is available with high-density foam and well-built comfort zone and thus makes it an ideal mattress for side sleepers. This mattress provides pressure relief for your hips and shoulders due to its well-manufactured comfort zone. Within the bed, there is an additional layer of a soft foam filling which provides it with even more comfort and support. The mattress is quite cost-effective (as reviews also state) despite of its quality and is available in medium firm and firm thickness levels.

The Matrand Memory Foam Mattress

This supports a 3.1 PCF memory foam comfort layer and a 1.7 PCF poly foam support core. This IKEA foam mattress is basically easy to clean because the fabric itself is removable which means that one can put it in the washing machine. Since it comes, roll packed it can be easily transported which means it will take a little time to fill up to its original size once one unrolls it. This usually takes 24-48 hours. IKEA’s memory foam mattresses have good breathability, meaning it is cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

The Matrand Latex Mattress

It is constructed with a synthetic latex comfort layer and a 1.7 PCF poly foam support core. Reviews also show that IKEA’s latex mattresses usually have poor heat retention, which means that it will warm up a bit more. One should avoid it if one has trouble falling asleep due to the warm weather. This mattress will contour well to one’s body posture and therefore provide pressure relief and will allow one to relax and fall asleep easily. Since Latex beds have temperature fluctuation issues, the surface of the mattress is made out of lamb’s wool which helps it keep a consistent temperature throughout the night. It has a removable cover.

The Myrbacka Memory Foam Mattress

It has excellent breathability. This mattress will contour well to one’s body posture and therefore provide pressure relief and will allow one to relax and fall asleep easily. The surface of the mattress is made out of lamb’s wool since latex beds often have temperature issues. This kind of wool should help it keep a consistent temperature throughout the night. Washing the mattress is easy since it has a removable cover.

The Myrbacka Latex Mattress

The Morgongåva Mattress

It has a characteristic of one layer made of 85% natural latex and 15% synthetic latex. However, this mattress is not available online. This mattress is the cure for back pain. Back pain is often a result of improper spinal alignment. This is something which may occur when the bed one is sleeping on cannot properly contour to one’s body weight and/ or sleeping posture. The mattress has 90% of natural latex and the rest 10 % is synthetic latex. This combination helps relieve back pain. Inside the mattress, one can find a dense polyurethane foam layer which is suited for pain relief. It is available in four different sizes: Twin, Full, Queen, and King. It has been dubbed as a medium-firm in reviews. It is 8 inches thick.

• Inner Spring

Due to the time, the innerspring mattresses have been in the market and due to their affordability, these mattresses have been the most popular choice of many individuals around the world. Multiple firmness options and its comfortability adds value to the mattress. However, one may have to buy a new mattress after 5-10 years in order to keep good sleep quality since the innerspring mattresses are not durable. If one is currently experiencing back, neck, or shoulder pain it means that one may be sleeping on springs since inner springs mattresses do not offer much pressure relief.

• Latex

The durability of Latex mattresses is much better than the durability of innerspring mattresses of IKEA. Latex beds are usually eco-friendly, hypoallergenic, and allergen and dust mite resistant. During the summer IKEA’s Latex mattresses warm up quite a lot and are more firm than IKEA’s memory foam mattresses.

• Memory Foam

The best mattress for comfort and body pressure relief is IKEA’s memory foam mattress. These come in three different firmness levels soft, luxury firm, and firm and provide proper spinal alignment. If one is a side sleeper, one should go with a luxury firmness, stomach sleepers should go for a very firm bed, and finally, go with a soft foam if one is a back sleeper. One should choose their mattress’ firmness according to their preference. One will be cool during the summer and warm in the winter due to its excellent air circulation, great breathability, and excellent durability.

• Pillow Top

These are also known as hybrids. It is called a hybrid because it is actually innerspring beds but can also feature memory foam, latex, wool, fiberfill, and cotton. IKEA provides a small selection and variety of these kinds of mattresses. However, pillow top beds are not suited for low weight people. Especially if there is memory foam inside. This is because lightweight people would not be able to compress the foam enough actually to make use of the support below.
