Given the fact that graphite latex is the top comfort layer (which has an incredible rebound rate and longevity compared to memory foam), we would have expected them to include another layer on the other ‘bottom side’ of this mattress to make it fully turnable. This would double its lifespan without increasing the price point significantly. The Morgedal mattress is an all-foam mattress that features two layers of polyurethane foam with a softer cooling foam on the surface and a firmer, more responsive foam as the base. It is rated as firm and most customers describe it as being quite firm at first and then having issues with sagging and dipping over a short duration afterwards. The MALFORS IKEA mattress is the first two-sided mattress from IKEA – but don’t get too excited! It’s a single layer of 30kg reflex foam for a very firm solid sleeping surface.

Unfortunately, the budget-friendly cage-sprung mattress known as the IKEA Hamarvik mattress is also no longer available.The Vimsig has an ingenious design that grows with your child. The extendable design makes this a good option for parents on a budget. It comes with one piece of egg-crate poly foam, and polyester / cotton cover. Customer sentiment is mixed with some happy customers describing this mattress as a game changing development, but others describe mixed firmness profiles and support, some describing soft and others describing very firm mattresses. This mattress comes with two firmness options, firm and medium-firm, which is great for those who can’t decide what type they need. The affordability of the mattress (which also doesn’t change depending on firmness) makes this mattress more attractive to consumers across the world. It comes in three different sizes meaning that this mattress is a strong contender among the large mattress collection at IKEA due to its variation. These reasons may be the reason why the HAMARVIK is one of the most highly reviewed mattresses out of the range. This IKEA mattress model contains no comfort layers or springs, relying solely on one layer of foam as the main mattress component. In short, you need a mattress that is both comfortable and supportive. The problem is that those terms can be quite subjective, varying between brands and largely dependent on how you tend to lie in bed. Soft mattresses aren’t always the most comfortable and firm mattresses aren’t necessarily the most supportive. They tell us everything, from whether it smells when they unbox it and what it’s like to share with a partner (if relevant to them), to how it affects their body temperature at night and whether it eases any aches or pains.

Open spring mattresses are a cheaper variation, but not recommended for two people of vastly differing weights. Your other option to add comfort is to layer a mattress topper over your mattress. These come in a range of materials, from luxurious goose feather and down to siliconised polyester or quilted cotton-rich fibres. How much should I spend on a mattress?

This is because mattresses in a box tend to come with 100- to 200-night free trials so you can make sure they deliver the best night's sleep possible.IKEA doesn’t divulge who makes their mattresses but we suspect they use a variety of manufacturers outside the UK that make batches of their models that are then are shipped into the UK. This is similar to imported white label beds, where the same specifications are mass-produced and then labelled for different suppliers around the world. We will continue to see if we can find out the exact source – let us know if you have any more detail on their manufacturers. The MORGEDAL mattress has been well-reviewed by IKEA customers; they suggest that it’s great value for money and also scores highly on appearance and quality. The IKEA mattress is described as medium-firm and many recommend that this firmness within a mattress is great for your posture and spinal alignment. This is where the memory foam system comes in, as it offers comfort and support for users. There are many different benefits of memory foam including pressure relief and extra comfort.

Again, it’s designed to isolate movement, meaning you should sleep soundly if you share the bed. Our testers found it easy to put on the bed, comfortable, temperature regulating and great quality overall. The cons: Despite medium firmness, people describe it as very firm and uncomfortable for pressure points. The second spring that IKEA uses is the micro spring, which has recently started to appear in mattress showrooms and retailers. We’re not a fan of micro springs, as there’s been a move to start using them to hyperinflate the spring counts in mattresses. This is not the case for IKEA, who typically use them as a secondary comfort layer and to increase loft in their one-sided mattresses. Micro Springs are the latest trend to inflate spring counts in mattresses

The foam used within the MALFORS Foam Mattress is designed for contouring to your body shape and helping support pressure areas. The features of MALFORS allow the mattress to not fall short in comfort, performance and quality. It arrives in a compact box, but note that it doesn’t have handles, so we’d advise opening it in the room you’re going to use it in. You don't need to rotate it, though. Whilst it’s a clever way to save space, it’s probably not the best method of handling any mattress. 18. Does rolling IKEA mattresses damage them?
