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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I LOOOVE Ikea. I enjoy walking around the warehouse seeing all the options that I would have never thought of. The kids section is always fun and we bought a great mattress for our little one. Its held up great and is really supportive.

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.

Lori Fletcher Saratoga Springs, UT

Ikea has the best products for the price. I just wish they'd find a better way to scan membership numbers. Last time I went I gave them the number and they said I needed the card. I don't like to carry the card. So they had to email me the card and then screen shot it to show the cashier.

Family friendly. Great food inside the giant store which makes it way more fun for a long day of shopping. Not the highest quality of mattresses but perfect if you are looking for something temporary. Great for cabins, second homes, starter homes, and kids bedrooms. Customer service is also good about taking stuff back.

Ikea has everything, the style is great and the products are a great value for how much they are. The matresses we have purchased there were a good value for the money and it made it convention get both the bed frames and matresses at the same time. We are satisfied everytime we shop at Ikea. One stop shopping for your home needs.

Cristiana Orem, UT

I really love Ikea! They have the best selected product with a variety of price. I bought Ikea mattress one time and I got what I paid for. The quality was ok and the price was very good comparing to what I searched in other stores.

JAKE American Fork, UT

We have a couple Ikea mattresses for our kids and have liked them. We have used them for our kids bunk beds. We have had no complaints about them. They are a good quality but I'm not sure how long they'll last. They seem to be better for more of a short term use.

Erika American Fork, UT

Ikea is a great store. I love that they have adapted to the times and have some very in style pieces and accessories. I have the ikea matresses for my kids bedrooms and they work very well. The mattresses are very good quality for the price point.

Shawn American Fork, UT

My wife came back from Europe and loved the late text full mattresses and we looked into those that were way too expensive! We checked out like he has options and found one that worked well and to this day for years later it is still a good mattress.

Rischelle Mikkelson American Fork, UT

After traveling to Europe and having my back pain disappear, I realized I needed a new mattress. After a lot of research, we found a great deal in the mattress we wanted from Ikea. With their no risk trial period, we went ahead and purchased. It has been a good bed. The only thing I don’t love is the built in memory foam topper hold heat.

Hannah Cummins Gilbert, AZ

I have used the IKEA queen size bed and it was very comfortable and affordable. My only complaint is it needs a very strong frame or it feels like it bends in half a little bit, so it cant really be used on a flimsy frame or flat on the ground.

Sandra Kojic Jacksonville, FL

If you ever go to Ikea, get the Swedish meatballs! I also love their memory foam pillows and mattress toppers. I sleep so soundly and it’s all due to the great quality bedroom products of Ikea.

Vy Ha Tallahassee, FL

Meets standardized conditions of a store and furniture as someone who has trouble building furniture. I like that the workers are ready to assist and have knowledge about the material

Anoushka Ahuja Tallahassee, FL

Ikea has some of the best furniture available! Everything is priced amazingly and is super affordable too. Their mattresses are my favorite, they are very very comfortable and wont break your wallet!

I was pleasantly surprised with the mattress and bed from IKEA. Honestly at first skeptical due to how economical it was, but found the bed and mattress to be totally fine and a good cost efficient bed.

Nyla C. Tallahassee, FL

I turn to Ikea whenever I need subtle pieces of furniture around the house. Though the prices can be a little high sometimes, their quality makes up for it. I do wish they offered more deals though.

Gina Marie Commack, NY

While I do love IKEA I gave it to four because their customer service is great their products are trendy and in however they are a pain in the neck when it comes to putting together.

Dasha Directo Provo, UT

The Ikea mattresses are cheap, but the quality isn't the best. I've changed out a mattress from Ikea after two years because it wasn't holding up as well as I would have liked it.

Fernando Delgado Tempe, AZ

Went to buy a mattress at Ikea but not much selection and not many employees that can help you on the floor. The price for the mattress is pretty good but the quality dosent seem to good and we ened up not buy from Ikea.

Hunter Kasprzyk Gilbert, AZ

My Ikea mattress was pretty good growing up. It wasn't very good quality but for the price of it I didn't expect anything special. I eventually upgraded to a better quality one but this was good and lasted pretty long.

Jacinda E Sandy, UT

The Bed frame broke after the 3rd move. Not a fan of the furniture but we have really liked the memory foam mattress that we bought from there.

Eileen Nagle Riverton, UT

It is hard for me to find a mattress that is affordable and doesn't hurt my back. I feel like I'm floating while I sleep on the IKEA mattress

Ikea mattresses are great for kids or for your guest room. I would buy a more expensive mattress for your main mattress that you plan to have for a long while.

Pauline Causse Provo, UT

The mattress I got was not the comfiest mattress ever, but it was good quality and a good price. I definitely could have gotten something comfier with a higher price.

Michelle O Petawawa, ON

I love ikea I just wish they would have better shipping rates and time frames especially during the pandemic. I bought a mattress for our daybed there and love it.

Morgan Knight Salt Lake City, UT

I hav used a number of Ikea mattresses and they are good quality for the price but don't last super long. The mattress starts to "Sink" over time and loose its firmness.

Mike Salt Lake City, UT

Reliable, cheap, functional furniture and beds. I bought a mattress at Ikea years ago. Not that comfortable but I got what I paid for. Not bad, not great.

MaKayla Christiansen Provo, UT

I bought my mattress from ikea and it has been amazing quality and so soft to sleep on. The quality is very good for the price and I think it is worth the buy.

Julia UP Yekaterinburg, SVE

Bought 2 mattresses for our guest room, looks good, but it was saggy after a year…but for Ikea price pretty good.

Mattress was comfortable, but the ease of use and ability to roll it and put it in my car is the really selling point for me!

L Gilbert, AZ

We have midrange mattresses for all our kids beds and they have been awesome. They are affordable and comfy and durable.

Had one of these in my 20's and it was so hard!! LOL I didn't care, loved it and kept it for a long time.

IKEA IS FABULOUS. Mattresses are OK. Not the best like Tempur-pedic. but pretty good! Good enough for my kids!
