Get your best night’s sleep, every night We all sleep differently. That’s why we have a variety of different mattresses to choose from. Whether spring, latex or foam, every mattress at IKEA is designed to offer comfort and support at a good price. So you just have to find the one that suits your body and your budget. View our “Love It or Exchange It” Policy Foam & latex mattresses(8) The price reflects selected options CA, East Palo Alto Go to Spring mattressesI'l try to be as objective as a can in answering your question but the simple answer is, "No." Looking at the Sultan Hagavik model this is a lower profile marshall coil unit that contains only a single border rod and a few layers of 1.8 and 1.5 lb. density foam. They don't list the thicknesses for the foam or the gauge of the steel for the innerspring unit. Objectively this model isn't something that I would classify or ever represent as premium adult support, and certainly not appropriate for someone with a bad back.
The bed will contour to your body, but not due to any advanced design. It simply lacks support. Having seen these beds in person I have a pretty good idea on the quality of construction and methods used, but I'm not writing to disparage the product. IKEA mattresses used to come from Poland, then some were made in Mexico (recalled due to not meeting USA Flame Resistant guidelines). IBC was contracted to make some products for IKEA - not sure where this one comes from, as it's not listed on the web site. You can do so much better from a major brand with better foams, a more advanced innerspring and much better construction. and look under the BEDUCATION section for some really good objective information that will help you select a mattress.The IKEA mattresses I’ve had were decent but whether or not ones under $300 is worth the money depends on how rested you are over time when you sleep in them. For me, I was a broke college student so anything cheap was good enough for me and no way would I buy a used mattress.
However, I found that there are much better mattresses for that price budget.A good mattress is one of the most important things you can buy and since you have a bad back, it’s even more important. If you are going to buy one of the cheaper IKEA mattresses for whatever reason, you can buy one of those mattress toppers that can increase the level of comfort for your mattress. Although, with better mattresses for around the same price range out there, you might as well just buy one of those.Personally, I’d stay away from IKEA when it comes to low price point mattresses but most of their other stuff is great such as sectional sofas, desks, and bed sheets. Those laundry hamper things they sell for under $10 is also awesome. Had mine for over 8 years.I would avoid it. We had a temporary move for work (2 year relo) and needed to get a mattress for our apartment. Bought the sultan queen and box spring. Was fine at first, but after about 18 months of two (not overweight) adults sleeping on it, it got some warping and flat spots, I had also discovered when I moved it that several of the wooden parts of the box spring (just a bunch of slats really) had broken in half.
We ended up just throwing them in the dumpster. (Goodwill won’t even take this broken flimsy crap). I think these mattresses must be made for an 8 year old, 80 pound child. I think I spent about 375 on the set.Meanwhile, I have two other mattress and box spring sets. One is about 8 years old, the other is about 15 years old and now a guest bed, but was slept on everyday previously. Both sleep fine, no issues til this day. Foam & latex mattresses Go to Foam & latex mattressesHow can I achieve the most comfortable bed for the lowest price? October 16, 2014 Subscribe How can I achieve the most comfortable (hopefully portable) bed for the lowest price? Hey guys, I'm hoping you can help me. I just graduated college and I move a lot but I don't have a lot of money, and for some reason the whole bed situation is the hardest to deal with because I'm used to *not* having huge pieces of furniture. But I'm really into bedding. Anyway, I don't have a lot to spend (probably $200 max, $250 IF IT'S A REALLY GOOD SETUP), and I was looking at a couple options.
First, I was considering this with something like this. I was also considering this foam mattress from Ikea (delivery adds $20 extra) and maybe with this or this? I just don't know. I don't want it to be too firm with no give (I used to sleep on a futon and it was TERRIBLE), but I don't think I can avoid that considering the only bed I could get that rolls up would be a foam mattress, so I thought maybe I'd add some fluff to the top, but I don't know what combo would be the best. Basically I want to sleep on a cloud for minimal cost.Queen Storage Bed DiyIkea Storage BedDeep StorageStorage HeadboardIkea Queen BedQueen MattressBed MattressMattress LengthStolmen BedForwardIkea queen storage bed we made using Stolmen & Lack pieces. It comes to 86.5"x61". A queen mattress is 80x60. We need to come up with a 6" deep storage headboard idea still to fill the gap. You get 10 drawers in bed for LIGHT items. Used 2 long units on each side. 1 short unit at foot of bed. 3 Lacks in the middle as filler.
Firm, plush, or soft feel? �Firm,� I said to the 1-800-Mattress guide as I lay on a Simmons Beautyrest. �Thought so,� he said. �New Yorkers like firm. Soft only sells in the suburbs.� That was the simplest thing I had to consider in my journey through modern bed-land. A lot has changed since the days when a bed was just some springs buttressing iridescent quilted polyester. Mattresses of the moment are made of foam, latex, and sometimes coils in a mind-numbing array of combinations. The original foam is Tempur-pedic, the solid-memory foam developed by nasa and made famous by its infomercial; now there are legions. Tempur-pedic is one of the firmest beds you can buy and a best seller in New York. (Note to shoppers: This time of year, as white sales abound, Macy’s lists a California King Rhapsody mattress set at $3,799.) Converts like that unshakable feeling�one person can get up without the other inhabitant feeling the weight shift (it’s called �motion separation� in the mattress business).
Memory foam is also hypoallergenic, since dust mites can’t live in it. But most of the foam beds I tested felt like warm quicksand, and the way they slowly rose up after I rolled off was slightly creepy. My favorite of the lot was from the Italian company Magniflex, whose �geoethic� line of beds have layers of plant-based memory foam ($1,399 to $5,399 for a queen). Magniflex cuts channels into their foam so air circulates. As I reclined my way through the Soho showroom (59 Crosby St., nr. 646-330-5483), I felt supported but not swallowed. And the delivery is smart; the mattress arrives rolled up a like a rug and vacuum-packed, which makes it a lot easier to lug up to a sixth-floor walk-up. Then there’s latex, which can be natural (made from rubber) or synthetic. It has bounce, so it feels closer to a traditional coil mattress, and manufacturers often layer various densities to �build� a bed�firm on the bottom, soft on top, and so forth. The rule of thumb here is the more natural latex involved, the higher the price.
A mid-priced queen like the Stearns and Foster Julep, which has a puffy �Euro� pillow top, costs $1,799 (Sleepy’s, 157 E. 57th St., nr. 212-421-3090). I found Ikea’s $899 queen-size natural latex quite satisfactory and�in this time of gargantuan, 21-inch-deep pillow-top giants�appealingly slim. (Ikea Brooklyn, 1 Beard St., nr. Otsego St., Red Hook; Hybrid beds made up the majority of the mattresses I tried. By and large, they felt exactly the same�an inch more latex here, a firm pillow top on a soft mattress or vice versa. Some even had a core of inner springs, each nestled into their own fabric pockets. I sunk happily into the Empress Exceptionale by Simmons at 1-800-Mattress ($3,499 for a queen, 369 W. 34th St., nr. 212-239-0127), made with springs covered in latex plus memory foam and a pillow top. But it is so enormous, I can’t imagine getting it into my New York apartment. Which is one of the problems with beds today. Some salespeople I spoke with reported a supersize backlash.
