Good Questions: Has Anyone Tried IKEA's Foam and Latex Mattresses? I'm looking for a new mattress for me and my boyfriend and the only issue we have is he likes to sleep on a really firm mattress (stomach sleeper) and I like a mattress with some give (side sleeper) so I thought latex or memory foam might be the best bet... firm but with some give.
I know about the Sonno Versa mattress from DWR, I suppose that would be ideal, but it's a little pricey for us right now, especially since we have to buy a bed as well. So I've been eyeballing the foam and the latex mattresses from IKEA...I would love to hear about any of the readers' experiences with these mattresses before I buy... trying them out at the store is nothing like the experience of sleeping on them night after night!

Due to my Fibromyalgia, I can always feel the springs, even on a very good mattress, and although I need a soft mattress for my tender pressure points, I also need good support. Hubby lies on his back or front, whereas I lie on my side, so a memory foam mattress would hopefull solve all these problems in one mattress. Unfortunately, when we looked at the memory foam mattresses on the market we were shocked at how expensive they were. With those prices, we would have been seriously stretching our budget in purchasing even the cheapest (and far from best) of the memory foam mattresses available in stores or on the internet. Luckily, I saw that in the Ikea catalogue, memory foam mattresses started at just £90 (US$149)! In the UK, Ikea has two types of memory foam mattress: the Sultan FORESTAD (ranging in price from £90 to £140) and the Sultan FURUDAL (ranging in price from £160 to £210). We chose a king-size FURUDAL as this was the top of the range of memory foam mattresses available in Ikea UK.
For some reason the FURUDAL doesn’t seem to be available in the US or Canada, but the FORESTAD is (ranging in price from US$149 to US$299). The FURUDAL is a thick foam mattress in 3 layers, with each layer divided into 5 comfort zones, which support your body where it is lightest and relieves pressure where it is heaviest. The top layer is of memory foam which forms itself to your body and the bottom and middle layers of high resilience foam, makes the mattress hardwearing and prolongs its life, as well as provides more support. It has a cover of 100% cotton and filling of lamb’s wool, camel-hair and silk, designed to effectively absorb and transport moisture and maintain an even temperature. The FORESTAD is in 2 layers: a top layer of memory foam and a bottom layer of high resilience foam. The bottom layer only is divided into the 5 comfort zones. The soft quilted top gives a cushiony surface. My husband and I agree that the mattress is a definite success and we are both sleeping better on it.
