The 5 most popular Ikea mattresses

We've rounded up Which? members' five favourite Ikea mattresses based on visits to our website reviews so far this year. Could one of these be the perfect mattress for you?

Ikea mattresses are popular, and they rarely go on sale. But there's a good reason for this: most are very cheap to begin with. In fact, all Ikea's mattresses – even the more luxurious ones – are typically cheaper than average when looking at all the mattresses we've tested.

Discover the top five most popular Ikea mattresses here - and read our Ikea mattress reviews to find out if they're as good a bargain as they seem.

1. Ikea Vestmarka firm 104.513.08

We like: It's sold rolled up, and it's not too heavy

We don't like: The cover isn't removable for washing

Our most popular review in the past six months is for this budget-friendly mattress. It's risen to the number one spot, probably because it's one of the cheapest mattresses that Ikea offers. For less than £160, you get a basic 14cm Bonnell spring core, with 2cm of polyurethane foam on top to help relieve pressure.

It's marketed as 'firm' and, when we tested it, we agreed, rating it 3.6 (on a scale where 1 is firmest and 10 softest). It's quite bouncy, though, so it's best suited to those who sleep alone. Avoid it if you're a light sleeper.

2. Ikea Vesteröy firm 904.506.30

We like: It's sold rolled up so it's easy to get home, and it doesn't need to be flipped

We don't like: The cover isn't removable for washing

Previously, our most popular Ikea double mattress review was for this low-priced pocket sprung mattress. It has now dropped to number two, but the mattress is still a good choice if you're not a fan of full memory foam.

The 15.5cm pocket sprung core is topped with two layers of foam and wrapped in a polyester-topped cover.

It's rated 'cold' to lie on, so it's perfect for anyone who gets hot at night or sweats a lot. It's marketed as a firm mattress, and our independent tests ranked it as a 4.2 (on a scale where 1 is firmest and 10 is softest).

3. Ånneland firm 204.817.53

We like: It's not too warm to lie on, so should suit most people

We don't like: It's fairly heavy

The Ånneland is listed as a foam mattress; however, the combination of pocket springs and foam layers means we consider it more of a hybrid. It's one of Ikea's more expensive standard double mattresses, but it's still cheaper than many similar mattresses from other brands.  

The 11cm pocket sprung core is surrounded by numerous foam layers, including a 3cm layer of memory foam closest to the surface you sleep on. Despite this, there's not an excessively high memory effect, so you should be able to move about on it without too much trouble, and it's not too bouncy. The cover is removable for washing.

We tested the firm version and rated it 5 (on a scale where 1 is firmest and 10 softest).

4. Ikea Valevåg firm 504.507.31

We like: It's not too warm to lie on, and it doesn't need to be flipped

We don't like: The cover isn't removable for washing

This mid-priced pocket sprung mattress has slipped down from its previously help place as the third most popular Ikea mattress review on our website in 2024.

A similar construction to the Ikea Vesteröy, this mattress is deep: it has a 17.5cm pocket sprung core, topped with two layers of PU foam wrapped in a non-removable polyester-topped cover.

Ikea says this mattress is firm. In our own firmness tests, it ranked as 7.5 (on a scale where 1 is the firmest and 10 the softest), so you might find it softer than you'd expect.

Is this mattress the best of both worlds? We uncover all in our full lab-tested Ikea Valevåg firm mattress review.

5. Ikea Åbygda firm foam 004.815.08 

We like: It's light and comes rolled and vacuum packed, so you can get it in the car

We don't like: It's not easy to move around on it

If you need a mattress in a hurry, Ikea's simple foam Åbygda might be a good bet because Ikea says you can use it immediately after unrolling it. However, it will take 72 hours to fully regain its shape.

It has a simple construction of just two layers of foam – a 12cm foam base with a 3cm memory foam layer on top that’s designed to mould to the contours of your body.

Its soft-touch outer cover is made from a knitted fabric and is removable for washing, which makes cleaning much easier – just remember to turn the cover inside out and zip it up.

Ikea sleep trials and guarantees

We're used to seeing lengthy sleep trials offered with mattresses now, but Ikea offers a 90-night comfort guarantee. This means you can try it up for to 90 nights and, if you don't like it, you can swap it for another mattress. The returned mattress must be clean, unmarked and undamaged. 

If you want to upgrade your mattress, you'll need to pay the difference; if the replacement mattress is cheaper, Ikea will refund the difference on an Ikea Refund card.

Most Ikea mattresses come with a 10-year guarantee. The guarantee covers defects in the material and workmanship, for which Ikea will either repair or replace the mattress free of charge. It does not cover wear and tear caused by long-term use.
