I bought this mattress about two years ago and recently moved house. During the move the mattress was rolled up by the removal men and then put on the bed up the other way at the new house. Since this time I have found the mattress very lumpy and I am unable to reverse the mattress due to its weight. My questions are has the mattress been spoilt in the move or alternatively should it have been kept the same way up? asked on Feb 24, 2014that mattress is not reversible. It only has memory foam on one side. replied on Feb 25, 2014Unfortunately, I don't knowtablet the lumps. I have never had mine rolled like that. Maybe you can contact the manufacturer about that. I go turn mine every few weeks. I don't flip it over, just rotate it in a circle on the same side. It is heavy but I'm able to maneuver it this way, a little bit at a time. Hope this helps, good luck. hi, like rachey already said, memory foam is only on one side and don't roll it, ikea warns that the matress can take damake if she gets rolled
replied on May 07, 2014 I just bought this ikea mattress and in the manual it said it takes 72 hours to fully expand so I have let it sit for over 72 hours and the mattress still looks some what soggy and deflated and overll uncomfortable. asked on Sep 05, 2013 I have not experienced this. I bought mine at the end of May and I'm very happy with it. Does it say anything about the temperature in the room? I can't remember but I think in general that could be a factor with memory foam. replied on Sep 13, 2013 when it is very hot in a room the memory foam is more soft, i did not recognized any difference in the first days, only those strange smell We bought this for our teenage daughter, who reports a briliantly comfy sleep, but the chemical smell seems to be getting stronger, not going away! Is the smell normal, or even safe??? asked on Aug 10, 2013 Many people reported about the smell. I think the chemical smell is perhaps not healthy. I don't had this problem, i smelled after one day nothing any more.
But I am quite sure that the smell will go away after some days, if not report that to IKEA. replied on Aug 12, 2013 Ikea Customer Services would not comment on the health risks, if any, from the strong smell (not suprising, it would be admitting faulty product) - not very helpful at all, suggested I leave it in the sun 'for a while', not easy to do in rainy weather, and when you are using it every night! So they more or less said I could take it back for a credit. replied on Aug 16, 2013 Follow up: Ikea Customer Services contacted me again regarding the mattress smell - apparently due to Customs fumigation, and that it should be safe. In the meantime, we are airing the mattress everyday and the odour seems stronger some days than others. OVerall is it going away? Maybe... or we're just getting used to the smell and not noticing it as much! Almost 1 month old now. replied on Aug 20, 2013 See all 5 answers Reviews of IKEA (& Other Brand) Latex Mattresses?
Q: My partner and I are looking for a new mattress and have pretty much narrowed it down to latex, but now the issue is which brand. So many seem to be scams and I'm horrified of spending a bunch of money on a mattress only to have it break down in a few years, or even months. We've tested and been happy with the Ikea Erfjord, but I'm wondering if it will last. Any other information you have regarding latex mattresses in general would be highly appreciated. Do you know of brands that one should be particularly wary of ? Other good deals that will last?

I have the Forestad, but they don't make that one anymore. It's still in perfect condition with no sags or lumps - hence their 25 year guarantee! The one they have out now that's just as great is the Sultan Fjordgard and the Sultan Favang. I've tried the Favang and love it. 12,200 posts, read 18,879,826 times I buy my mattresses at the Original Mattress Factory. They make their own mattresses at their own factories and are about 40% cheaper than the large national brands.
The Original Mattress Factory I have gone the IKEA (read very cheap) route but the quality was mediocre, especially the furniture. 2,002 posts, read 3,579,989 times 21,942 posts, read 9,441,683 times I could not disagree with you more. I like IKEA stores and buy a lot of stuff from them ... but NOT furniture ... and especially not mattresses. The so-called "25 year guarantee" is a gimmick. It is a scam. It's only covers "manufacturing defects" which means if the mattress sags, 'hammocks', becomes uncomfortable, lumpy, develops 'body impressions' that is do to wear and has nothing to do with a manufacturing defect. IKEA mattresses are C R A P. IKEA goes sell some great glassware and dishes, though! I like the food products they sell like Swedish meatballs. 7,902 posts, read 7,587,701 times Please register to post and access all features of our very popular forum. It is free and quick.
