Ikea is a Swedish multinational company specializing in modular furniture. It sells a variety of products for the home, all over the world, and has been the world's largest furniture retailer since 2008. Ikea owns and operates over 400 stores in more than 50 countries. In this review, we will be focussing on mattress shopping at Ikea.

You can buy a twin, full, queen, or king size bed foundation, bed frame, slatted bed, or mattress from Ikea. The store also offers one adjustable slatted bed base; however, it is made of wood and is not mechanical. You adjust it manually. (This may or may not be what you think of when you picture modern adjustable beds.) For children, shoppers can choose from five crib mattresses and over ten crib models. You can also buy a kid or toddler size bed.

Ikea sells 15+ queen size innerspring, foam or latex mattresses, ranging in price from $179 to $899. Let's breakdown the different types of mattresses available at this retail giant:

Ikea Foam Mattresses

Ikea uses several different types of foam cores in its mattresses for different types of support. You can get any of the following foam bed options:

A polyurethane foam mattress
A memory foam mattress
A gel-infused memory foam mattress
A synthetic latex mattress
A natural latex foam mattress

Ikea latex and foam mattresses come with a special knitted ticking on top to boost pressure relief for your neck, shoulders, and hips while you sleep. Some mattress models combine layers of different foam materials to provide different contouring or cooling properties.

The highest priced foam mattress is one of the retailer's latex models. The Mausund (Q $899), a natural latex foam model with organic materials like wool, coconut fibers, and a cotton cover, to help control airflow and heat retention. At least 50 percent of the product is made from renewable materials, including sustainable cotton.

The lowest price option is the Minnesund mattress (Q $179). With a core of polyurethane foam and a non-woven polypropylene lining, this mattress is rather thin, at just under 4 inches.

Ikea Coil Mattresses

In addition to foam beds, Ikea also offers several coil or innerspring mattresses. The most expensive coil mattress offered is the medium firm Holmsbu (Q $799), which includes a pillowtop comfort layer of cooling gel memory foam, one layer of mini pocketed coils, and two more layers of individually wrapped pocket coils.

On the low end, you can get the Hasvag mattress (Q $199), with Bonnell springs and a layer of soft filling. Even though this bed has 375 coils, it still comes packed into a compressed roll, for easy transport home.

If you are online mattress shopping at Ikea-USA.com, large item delivery starts at $39 and varies depending on your distance from the closest warehouse. If you purchase at your local retail location, delivery starts at $59.

The Good

Affordable Products
Great Return Policy
Available Financing
25 Year Warranty

Affordable Products

You can't find products from other mattress brands at this retailer. Although Ikea doesn't sell any third party products, the exclusive line of mattresses from Ikea is very well priced. If you are looking for an affordable mattress, you could be sleeping on any of Ikea's mattresses for less than $1,000. That is unrivaled.

Options include the Myrbacka latex mattress (Q $499), the Morgedal foam mattress (Q $299), the Matrand memory foam mattress (Q $399), and the Haugesund spring mattress (Q $249).

If your biggest priority is finding a bed in your price range, you can get an affordable night's sleep with an Ikea mattress.

Great Return Policy

Ikea offers one of the most flexible mattress return policies in the industry.

You can exchange your mattress for another one within 365 days of purchase, compared to the average 100-120 day's sleep comfort trial policy that you would likely find at another mattress company. This lengthy return policy is great if it takes you a while to know if you are sleeping on the most comfortable mattress for you.

You can make a return for free at any Ikea store. Just bring the product, a photo ID, your receipt or online order confirmation, and the card that you used to purchase the item. If you need a way to transport your mattress for return, you can contact IKEA customer service at 1-888-434-4532 for pricing and to schedule a pickup. Either way, you can sleep easy knowing that you can exchange your mattress if it isn't comfortable.

Available Financing

Financing is available through the Ikea Projekt Credit Card. Promotional 0% interest is available for up to 24 months if you meet a minimum purchase. The standard purchase APR is 21.99%. This is much lower than most furniture or mattress store financing rates—most of which are 28-29.99% APR.

Through the Ikea website, you can even see if you pre-qualify, from the comfort of your own home, before doing the application. That way, you don't put a hard check on your credit report if it isn't necessary.

25 Year Warranty

Ikea mattresses come with a 25-year limited warranty. This is quite long for a non-specialized, non-luxury retailer. Whether you choose a foam mattress or one with coils, you will benefit from this lengthy warranty.

The Bad

Few Mattress Options
Low-Priced Products
Firm Mattresses
Thin Mattresses
Mattress Odor

Few Mattress Options

Fewer than 20 adult size Ikea beds are available. Although it sells innerspring coil, memory foam, generic foam, and latex mattress options, for such a huge worldwide retailer, the selection at Ikea is small. A larger product line would provide better spinal alignment for more types of sleepers.

Additionally, Ikea doesn't offer a true hybrid mattress, so customers will have to choose between the foam and innerspring beds available.

Low-Priced Products

Mattresses are one of the few segments where shoppers sometimes prefer to have a luxury product to sleep on. With Ikea's affordably priced options, some shoppers will seek out a luxury brand bed with advanced sleep innovations and technologies instead of shopping here.

Firm Mattresses

The only comfort level options available at Ikea are medium firm and firm. So, if you prefer sleeping on a firmer mattress, you are in luck; however, if you need a softer mattress to get a good night's sleep, you need to shop elsewhere.

Thin Mattresses

Some of Ikea's mattresses are a bit thin, including the Meistervik (Q $229) foam firm mattress at 4 3/4" thick, the foam Minnesund (Q $179) model at 3 7/8", and the Husvika spring mattress at just over 5" thick.

Meistervik and Minnesund are the store's lowest-priced foam mattress models and seem more like sleeping cushions for tent or RV camping, a mattress topper that you put on top of your mattress, or a cabin cot mattress. They may not provide the precise support that side or stomach sleepers need to sleep pain-free.

The Husvika is an innerspring mattress model that comes rolled-up and compressed for easy transportation. We haven't seen very many mattresses with coils that are under 6 inches.

Mattress Odor

Ikea notes that, depending on mattress components, some models can have a noticeable smell when first removed from the packaging. This is common when it comes to textiles and permeable products that are left in packaging for some time. The products don't contain toxic chemicals and the smell dissipates when you air it out.

The Bottom Line

Ikea is the place to go when shopping for a cheap and convenient innerspring or foam mattress, whether you prefer to have synthetic or natural materials. Shoppers will benefit from incredible pricing and customer-centered policies including a year-long comfort satisfaction policy, low APR financing, and a 25-year warranty.

Several of our customer reviews mention that the quality of Ikea mattresses is satisfactory, for the price. Where shoppers may find a trade-off is in finding sufficient mattress options to satisfy all types of sleepers. Ikea has a lack of overall models to choose from. Most options are pretty strong on the firmness scale. Shoppers that need a softer mattress may not be able to find a comfortable fit.

Customers should also keep an eye on the thickness of each mattress, especially when shopping online, to avoid getting a mattress that is thinner than expected or won't fit your mattress base properly.

After using it for some months, the mattress has indeed felt comfortable and supportive, and I could also attest to an excellent quality of sleep. The real plusses are in price and ease of setup. It is not a luxury mattress to the extreme, but very good value for its money. Some misgivings are due to the durability factor, but overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase of an Ikea mattress.

I love the variety that Ikea Mattresses have with going from firm to soft at such affordable prices. I love firmer mattresses and got one that specifically supports my back. I also love that there is a trial period for at least one year because you can take your time to decide on the best mattress for you.

I have slept on an Ikea memory foam mattress for the past 4 years and can confidently say that I have been pleasantly surprised. Everyone who lays on my bed says it's the most comfortable mattress they've ever been on! I would buy again.

Love my purchase from IKEA, they have several different options for mattress. From hard to soft, a perfect place for anyone to find a mattress that works for them. I also like that they offer different type of mattress types, from memory foam to spring mattresses.

Amy Stewart Gilbert, AZ

We love IKEA!!! I wish they had another location closer to my house. We have purchase a mattress from IKEA about 1 year ago and have really enjoyed it and they are a great quality. We have slept much better sleeping on the mattress that we bought. They last a very long time.

IKEA is a great place to go to get new ideas to refresh the rooms in your house. If you can get there before everyone else, it's a really fun store to walk around. We have purchased many items from IKEA at great prices, though the quality of these items are not the best, they are also not the worst out there. I did purchase and IKEA mattress once, it did the job but for a better nights sleep I would not recommend. The prices have gone up since I started shopping there when I got my first apartment, but I think they are still pretty fair. Some of their items like, couches, bed frames etc. are not things that are going to be long haul items. I did a lot of moving when I was younger and these items did not fair very well being taken apart or moved in moving trucks. I have a set of Kallax shelf units in my craft room and they are great!! But I find that I have to tighten them every so often.

Erinmarie Xian Brandon, FL

We have an IKEA mattress in our guest room. We’ve now had it for over 10 years and it has honestly been one of the best mattresses with Purchased and for a great price. Thousands less than other top of the line mattresses which is why we put it in the guestroom but when we go to replace our current mattress we will probably be buying the same IKEA mattress for our own use in the master bedroom. We purchased the firmest Of the choices and we really like the way it supports our entire body.

altavise davis Tallahassee, FL

One of my favorite things to do is shop especially for home. I love IKEA because it has all furniture that meets your exact needs. The customer service is amazing each time you walk through the door. The employees truly help. IKEA has beautiful styles to choose from. My dresser set came from them and I love it! I recommend everyone to shop there for furniture .

roberto arcia Columbia, MO

Overall, my experience with Ikea has been fantastic. They have various workers in the store to help you with the selection process of designing your new home. Although they are a luxurious Swedish brand, they have various low-cost options. Ikea truly embodies what it means when it comes to home design. I would recommend Ikea to anyone that needs furniture.

MNO O Lawrenceville, GA

I was very pleased with the kitchen cabinets I purchased from here. They have held up really well. We had a bit of trouble with the tall cabinet door because it is so heavy but it does it’s job. If for any reason you are unhappy with your kitchen, IKEA allows you to return it within the first year as long as you keep yourself paperwork and receipt.

I bought two bed sets for my daughter's condo. The IKEA product is inexpensive; the shopping experience is actually fun; and the beds were easy to construct. The mattresses are a bit soft for my taste but my daughter and her roommate both find them comfortable, We returned to buy a couch, a dining room table and some floor lamps. The above comments are applicable to all of these purchases as well. Count me as a fan of IKEA.

Eric San Diego, CA

So here is the scenario: Your 19 years old getting your first apartment and of course cannot afford to spend much on furniture. At IKEA you can pretty much furnish your whole place for under a grand(at least I did). I purchased a mattress from IKA about 34 years ago and its probably time to replace it but it really doesn't feel like it. I got the mattress for less than $200 and its lasted for 4 years.

Lesa Burgess Pleasant Grove, UT

I LOVE Ikea. I love the variety of mattresses they have all they way from super thick comfortable ones to the thin little bunk bed style mattresses. I have used them all. The quality is really good for the price you pay for sure! Returning items always takes a bit longer than I would like, but I'm ok with that because of the service that you receive. The workers are always super helpful. It's one of my favorite places to shop.

Rafael Matthew Jamaica Plain, MA

I recently purchased an Ikea mattress and I have to say, it exceeded my expectations! It is made with high quality materials, has great support and is extremely comfortable. I would definitely recommend the Ikea mattress to anyone looking for a good night’s sleep. It's definitely worth the price and has been a great addition to our bedroom.

Ikea has mattresses that are very comfortable and affordable. They make it easy to get the mattress home, whether you bring it home yourself or if you would like it delivered. They have all the standard sizes of mattresses and different levels of firm and softness so you can choose what feels best for you.

Rivers02 Macomb, MI

I bought a mattress from IKEA for my guest room. It was an easy process to purchase and it is comfortable enough for the price. No guests have ever complained. It is firmer and doesn’t show wear so it should last quite a long time.

Ashlyn Elwood Roswell, GA

Ikea mattresses are a great value! While I've slept in comfier, my kids love their Ikea mattress and have no issues falling asleep. Ikea also has a variety of mattress frames to choose from that help increase storage space through methods such as under-mattress drawers. Overall, I am super happy with their mattress quality, especially for the price!

Samarra Miller Hialeah, FL

I was always told Ikea has good mattress so I tied it out not to bad it was definitely a different experience than going to a mattress store I would say try them out the prices were pretty good as well I only had the mattress for 3yrs and It lasted better than I expected.

Mary Kate F Simpsonville, SC

Ikea mattresses are the way to go! I’ve slept on an Ikea mattress for 6+ years now and I can honestly say I love them. Ikea mattresses are not only extremely appealing at their low price, but they are very comfortable and have granted me many nights of undisturbed sleep! While Ikea has a wide variety of mattresses (from foam to spring), their mattresses so typically tend to be firmer (which I like), so if you also prefer harder mattresses, you won’t be disappointed with Ikea’s selection!

A 1 Mesquite, TX

This is one of my favorite department stores! Each time I go, I come out of the store with more than I came looking for. I only wish that there were more locations throughout the Dallas Fort Worth area but I would only spend more money. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars is because the instructions to the items that have to be assembled could use some improvement.

Daniel Cebrero CA

Ikea has different tiers of mattresses and I have purchased and slept on the lowest tier and the highest tier. The lowest tier is basically a “you get what you paid for” mattress. It’s cheap for a reason. The highest tier feels better even tho it’s not extremely comfortable. I’d recommend ikea mattress for a spare bedroom or a room that is not used much. Over all it’s decent for the price point.

Cam Hall Richmond, VA

We purchased an IKEA mattress with our guest bedroom furniture when first moving into our first house, and the mattress feel was far better than expected; when I’d lay on the mattress it felt like laying on a cloud. That said, if it wasn’t for the convenience of everything else we get at IKEA, we wouldn’t seek out getting the IKEA mattress again over competitors; we didn’t think it held its shape very long, and the Queen we purchased we felt had a tough time staying firm when two people were on it. Still, we think it’s a great first mattress or guest room mattress.

Luke Swierczynski Waterford, MI

Love Ikea, furnished most of my house with their furniture. There customer service for broken pieces is amazing and quick. The mattress we got from them was so easy to move into the house given the packaging. Just give the bed some time to puff back out before you lay on it!

I'm extremely fond of IKEA, it's design and great products. I've purchased a mattress and a bed from IKEA for my son in college. It is 3 years old now and the mattress is not comfortable for him anymore. He has enjoyed his bed and has moved three times with it. It is easy to set up. However his mattress has not been supportive enough. He is 6'2 and about 165 pounds. He is still happy with his many pieces of IKEA furniture and has influenced friends to buy the same. The packaging when the mattress arrived was quite nice.

Sambhav Jain Pleasanton, CA

I have an Ikea Mattrand mattress queen Size from Ikea, I just love the mattress. I like firm mattress and this ikea mattress is just perfect in terms of firmness. At under 8 inch thickness, it is not very bulky and looks good on any kind of Bed.

I bought my mattress from ikea and it is sooo comfortable. I don’t sleep well on mattresses that are too firm or too soft. Lucky for me I was able to find the perfect mattress that fit my criteria thanks to one of the employees. They were very kind and willing to work with me.

Phoenicia Cloud Rosamond, CA

I love this store because I have always loved to build and put things together. Most of the products feel like an adult puzzle. I would caution if you don’t like to build it may be a little bothersome but still simple. The store is clean and organized in Aicha. Way that you walk through a maze of sorts to get out. I Peter the website over the store in most cases.

I have used a couple of Ikea products. The idea of making it on your own seems great but it gets confusing when you're almost done and then you realize that a single piece has been misplaced and then your tear down the whole thing. However, the mattresses that Ikea makes are super comfy and have helped me with my back pain. You should really consider it if you have back pain issues.

I love how portable and minimal Ikea mattresses are. The beds take up less room and so makes sense for the mattress to be more portable. Good prices and actually comfortable. We have a few beds from ikea that save so much space and the mattresses are light and minimal. Great value!

Ikea has got to be one of my guilty pleasures. I could spend hours upon hours browsing through all of their amazing products. I bought a mattress from Ikea two years ago, and it's still in incredible condition and I absolutely love it.

Angela Nelson Pleasant Grove, UT

We have 3 Ikea mattresses and we have really liked them. However, the first 2 mattresses which we bought 4 and 5 years ago are definitely better than the one we bought 2 years ago. For some reason, Ikea changed all their mattresses and they are not as comfortable as before. They are still one of the best values for mattresses, though, since they are about 1/3 the prices of traditional mattresses. We bought the foam mattresses with the coils inside so they are similar to traditional mattresses but much more comfortable.

NT Pleasant Grove, UT

Ikea is cheap and affordable. we have furnished two kids room from ikea and the beds are VERY comfortable. we have had the beds now for 3 years and they still have no wear/tear. still like it was new when we bought it. we recommended it to our neighbor who also bought from Ikea and LOVE it.

Karen Nelson Alpine, UT

Our entire downstairs is filled with mattresses from IKEA. They have products that I had never seen before for such a great value. We have loved every interaction we have had with IKEA. I like everything about the company from their products to the blue bags that they give you. LOVE IKEA.

I'm very frustrated with Ikea. I spent 700 dollars in Ikea's most expensive Mattress and trusted their "Love It or Change It" program that gave 180 days to return. 4 months later, when my wife started getting aches in her back and I'm getting aches in my shoulder and neck and I tried to return it, Ikea didn't accept and said I had only 90 days to return it... I'm very frustrated. The 180 days return policy is in Ikea's website, but we can't trust them. The experience I had was that the "Love It or Change It" program is a complete Lie! That it's only fake marketing! If I had purchased a cheap Mattress, I wouldn't be so frustrated, but I spent 700 dollars and expected a better Mattress, and a better Customer Service. By the way, their Mattresses are mid firm only for three months, then the foam sags... really bad... I don't know what I'll do with this... Avoid Ikea! Update: Ikea solved my issue "given I have a medical condition", so I'm happy. But, still, beware that although they have 180-day return policy for open products, mattresses are an exception! They have only 90 days to be returned. It is not that Ikea is lying in their website, it's just that the exception is mentioned in a different paraghaph, more to the bottom of the page, no star * on the "180 days"... So, beware! And thanks Ikea for solving my issue.

Ikea mattresses offer good comfort and value for the price. While they are budget-friendly and come in a variety of styles, the durability of some models might not be the best. Overall, Ikea mattresses are a solid choice with a few points to keep in mind.

Ian Richmond, TX

We have purchased a total of 4 Ikea mattresses for kids' beds and the kids love them. They have held up very well and when it is time to replace these mattresses, I will be replacing them with an Ikea mattress.

Aubrey Dallas, TX

I was hesitant to buy an ikea mattress at first, but now I'm so glad I did. Their prices are well below what other mattress companies charge and the quality is just as good. Very happy and impressed!

Laurel Dalton Salt Lake City, UT

My family purchased a mattress and frame from Ikea, and it is as soft as can be! I love how easy it is to collapse and transport the bed frame as well. I will definitely be purchasing a mattress from Ikea in the future.

The mattresses are very light and affordable. Unfortunately, due to its size, it doesn't end up super comfortable on its own. Unlike the traditional mattress+boxspring set up, this is just a memory foam mattress a third of the thickness. We added a boxspring under our mattress and it made a huge difference in terms of comfort. Wish we didn't have to, but it just wasn't enough on its own

Ikea is a great place to find furniture at a very affordable price. I buy tons of furniture there and I am astounded by the top-tier quality of my items. The employees are very helpful and informative whenever I go in.

My ikea mattress has lasted about 15 years. It has not been very comfortable for the last two years but I put a mattress topper on it to help. I consider it good value based on the number of years used compared with the price. It only ended up costing me about $12 per year.

Roxana Perez ,

I love Ikea! I got my current mattress from them, which was perfect for me. They offer different types (such as soft, hard, etc.) and always have them in exhibition to try them out. And they are very affordable.

Lottielyn Schwenke Orlando, FL

What's surprising most about Ikea mattresses is I didn't expect them to be that comfortable but they totally are! The best part is the fit in the clean and look I was going for in my guest room.

Brittany Wilkinson Herriman, UT

We had a few Ikea bed frames for all 4 of our kids. We loved the mattresses that worked perfectly with the beds and weren't bulky. They were comfortable and helped provide our kids with a great nights sleep.
