Nevertheless, some owners find that latex models trap body heat, which can make the mattress uncomfortably warm; Ikea mattresses too thin and firm overall. In general, the more expensive models in this line tend to perform better in professional testing.Ikea's latex mattresses are, simply put, a great bargain, according to reviews. Queen-size latex models cost an estimated $1,000 or less -- while competing products can run several thousand dollars. , the main reason for this difference is that "less expensive dunlop-processed latex and synthetic latex are often used as opposed to more expensive talalay-processed and natural latex." the cheaper latex tends to be firmer and doesn't conform to the body as much.

Retail Price: $1,268 for the whole set in full Our second month of bed testing was very different than the first, as we slept on a much more affordable, much firmer natural latex mattress to which we added a pillowtopper at the end. Nutshell review: I love the overall Swedish design of this bed, but really didn't sleep well until we added the topper, and then it was okay for us. It was too firm with very little "give" to the latex (the Erfjord only comes in Firm). Only if you like firm beds will you be happy here. • Fair (very firm) The big issue here is the firmness of the Erjford, which is due to its use of natural latex. This latex is more ecological in that it is naturally harvested, BUT it is quite firm, with very little give and a "hot" sleep experience. In terms of feeling, you experience sleeping "on" as opposed to "in" this bed. Adding the topper for another $200+ dollars was therefore essential for us and saved our month, though we were glad to switch beds this past weekend.
We are decidedly not firm mattress people anymore. Aside from this particular mattress, I give IKEA a ton of credit for a great bed design with largely natural materials that closely resembles the high-end Hastens. This bed shows IKEA's strong commitment to going green. The foundation is heavy and durably made from solid pine and spruce, and it has terrific wooden legs that attach directly to the foundation, removing the need for an additional frame of any kind. The mattress and topper are also heavy with good quality materials. The mattress is 85% natural latex, surrounded by 100% lamb's wool and 100% eco grown cotton. The topper is a mixture of natural latex filling, polylactide (PLA) fiber and 100% lamb's-wool wadding, which combines to greatly soften and cool the sleeping experience. While I have a healthy skepticism for IKEA's products that are not meant to last long and contribute to Throwawayism, this bed is not one of them for me. If you like this bed, it should last you a very long time.
IKEA always does a good job on price and the Erfjord is no exception. Getting a complete, eco bed with natural latex for this price is hard to beat. While all the pieces DO add up, most beds with natural latex will run you four times as much as this one.We will spend almost a third of our lives sleeping, so it makes sense to spend time, thought and money on which mattress we buy. The right one, say Deane Halfpenny – a consultant in musculoskeletal pain medicine – and osteopath Rehana Kapadia, can ensure you are not only more comfortable, but healthier, too. Kapadia recommends investing time trying them out. “Some people just go into the shop and press them to see how they feel, ” she says, “but I would say you should lie down for 20 minutes on each one. If you just hop on and off, it’s hard to imagine how you will feel after an eight-hour sleep.” Halfpenny agrees and says spending as much as you can afford on a bed is a good long-term investment in your health – especially when they typically last between seven and 10 years.
“In sleep studies where you observe patients through the night, you see how much we all move when we sleep. But if you are uncomfortable, you move constantly and your sleep is not as restful as it should be. “Undisturbed sleep is important because of the fluctuating hormones that are released when we sleep. Disturbed sleep disrupts these patterns. Our bodies are constantly breaking down and rebuilding, and restorative sleep allows your muscles to relax and improves blood flow – [especially] to the discs in your back, which normally have poor blood flow. If your muscles are tense, you won’t get that restorative blood flow.” Kapadia advises choosing a mattress that is supportive as well as comfortable. “Patients often think they should be getting a firm, orthopedic mattress. But, actually, if your mattress is too firm, you can end up with hyperlordosis, where the arch in your back is exaggerated.” Instead, you should think about a mattress that is soft enough to allow you to sink into it, while firm enough to support you.
“It’s about surface area and pressure,” says Halfpenny. “The more of your body that is in contact with the mattress, the less pressure on your shoulders or hips.” Halfpenny says that, if you choose the right mattress, whichever position you sleep in will be comfortable and healthy. She says the optimum position for sleep – to avoid back problems or ligament strain – is on your side with your knees bent. This is because it allows your body – from the back of your head, through your neck, spine and pelvis – to align. “Even without pillows, your neck, spine and pelvis should be in line, so that you aren’t twisted, or turned in on yourself,” she says. “If you sleep on your front – it doesn’t matter how good the mattress – you will twist your neck and back; your head will be turned to the side and your leg probably twisted up. Even sleeping on your back with your legs straight can put strain on your lower back.” She says that, although many people think they have little control over the positions they adopt in their sleep, it is possible to train yourself to sleep on your side – and doing so is a good idea to avoid long-term back problems.
However, because our shoulders and hips are our broadest points, even lying on your side on a too-firm surface can throw this alignment out, says Kapadia. “You can get a lumbar spine sag, meaning your middle will drop into a U shape, stressing the spine ligaments, which can press on your nerves.” So, for eight hours, your ligaments will be working instead of resting. As a result, you can wake up feeling achy instead of rested. “This is why you need a bed that will allow your shoulders and hips to sink in, then your waist and side are supported.” In fact, Kapadia suggests taking a friend bed-shopping with you to check your alignment as you lie on a bed – or even taking a photograph to show how well you are supported. The worst mattresses, Halfpenny warns, are the old, soft ones, which dip like hammocks in the middle, curving your back. Another tricky issue is buying a mattress for a couple, as each person may have different needs, thanks to their different shapes and weights.
“You don’t want one of you to sink in and the other to be bouncing on the top. It’s about surface area and pressure. You need to sink in at first, and then be supported.” Halfpenny says choosing a bed with breathable, natural materials can improve your sleep quality – so that you don’t get too hot and sweaty in the night. But, for those with allergies, Kapadia suggests trying out a bed with natural latex instead. It’s also worth thinking about a bed with a slatted base so that air can circulate, or one with pocket springs to match the mattress. For older patients, and those who find it hard to get in and out of bed, getting a higher base can also help. If you are on a very tight budget and can’t afford the mattress you want, buying a decent one and adding a mattress topper for extra comfort can help. Finally, don’t forget to think about pillows, say the experts at John Lewis. If you sleep on your side, you might need a firmer one, to fill the space between the side of your head and shoulder.
If you are on your back, you need a softer one to keep your neck in line with your spine. Anyone sleeping on their front needs a very flat pillow. But Halfpenny has a final warning: even when you successfully find the perfect bed, your problems might not be over. The pain specialist says he spent more than £4,000 finding the right mattress for himself and his wife, and hours researching it. Although now he can happily sleep for 10 hours at a time, there is one drawback – going on holiday or to visit family is torture. “I just want to get back to my mattress!” £2,050 in a kingsizeDeane’s top choice Rehana: This is really high end. My body is nicely supported so my lower spine is not being pushed down or up. It can be short-sighted to buy too cheap a mattress – try to buy the best you can afford. Deane: This is fantastic. Not too hard or soft. R: Memory foam like this moulds to your body, but some people find they can get very hot. It’s not very breathable and it retains a lot of heat.
