I'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.The way that futons and sofa beds are made, they just aren’t as comfortable or as supportive as a regular bed with a mattress. We all know one couldn’t fold up even the cheapest bed mattress if you tried and therein lies the difference. A futon/sleeper mattress has to be thin enough to be easily folded back. Futons and sofa beds sacrifice comfort so they can be multi-functional. The good news is there are ways you can make enhance your sofa bed and make your futon as comfortable the bed in your master bedroom. I just bought a small sleeper couch — one that converts easily into a full-sized bed. A rather stiff and uncomfortable bed at that, but that was to be expected. I knew that the make-shift bed would suit friends that were crashing or visiting for a day or two, but I knew that it wouldn’t be comfortable for longer stays. Especially if my mom and grandma came to visit me. So I started doing some research how I could augment the bed so that it was just as comfortable as a mattress.
Pillows, sheets and a down comforter were no-brainers, but even with the most comfortable pillows, warmest down comforter, and sheets with the highest-thread counts can’t make up for a stiff bed. Some suggested placing an air mattress on top of the bed — kind of like a mattress pad. That was out of the question: not only do I find air mattresses uncomfortable, but they require too much work before and after. Even so, adding something on top of the sleeper was a sound idea. I obviously couldn’t just place a regular mattress, so I went looking for comfortable padding that didn’t require too much effort and was easy to store it away when I wasn’t using it. Just Add Padding: Memory Foam and Mattress Pad After comparing several different mattress pads and bed toppers, I ultimately invested two hundred bucks on a memory foam mattress pad from Memory Foam Solutions ($115) and an extra plush fitted mattress topper ($100) by Exceptional Sheets. I placed the memory foam mattress on top of the sofa bed and secured it with the mattress topper.
The combination of both the memory foam and mattress pad completely transformed the sofa bed; as soon as I laid down into the bed, I sunk into the 3-inch deep memory foam all the while being hugged by the pockets of down alternative from the mattress topper. I was pleasantly surprised. I expected the pads to soften up the bed, but I didn’t expect it to be such a dramatic improvement. What was once a stiff, hard bed in my living room now felt like an expensive bed in a nicer hotel (albeit with IKEA sheets). The guest bed was so comfortable that I immediately bought the same memory foam topper and mattress pad for my regular bed. If you just can’t find a comfortable futon to sleep on, the solution might not be to keep looking, but to make the futon more comfortable yourself.
