Ikea VESTMARKA sprung mattress, 90x200 cm, extra firm/light blue

Product Information

Once finished, IKEA recommends several mattresses from their range. Whether you sleep alone or with a partner

We tested the firm version and rated it 6.8 (on a scale where one is firmest and 10 softest), so it could be softer than you expect. Despite the layers of foam, it's still classed as cold to sleep on so is better suited to those who prefer a cooler feel when they get into bed, or those who get uncomfortably hot at night. Coming in close behind the Origin mattress above score-wise, this is another outstanding hybrid mattress. Our testers found it a supportive bedroom addition with just the right amount of sink-in comfort. For most, it regulated their temperature at night well and was dreamily quiet, too. Will not get you much at best a 13.5 gauge open coil/cage sprung with a thin polyester layer or a solid foam mattress. 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.

If you don’t want to splash out on a mattress at the moment, a mattress topper is a good way to boost your bed's comfort levels for less. Depending on the style you opt for, they will offer increased support, or bring an extra touch of softness, helping you sleep more comfortably. There were no significant niggles with this mattress – some readers and testers found it warm, but not a large proportion. In fact, most found their body temperature just right. Emma also offers a 200-night trial if you have any concerns. That said, if you do tend to run hot at night, you may be better off considering a more breathable hybrid alternative instead.

If you're looking for a good budget mattress brand, we'd recommend turning to Silentnight or Happy Beds instead.A number of their models can be rolled up due to the limited upholstery, which means they can be cheaply shipped.

They also offer no protection against roll together during the night as the central part of the open coil spring unit is the one point of weakness. Cage sprung, Bonell or Open coil are the crudest of spring construction methods In our GHI tests, the Simba Hybrid Mattress Topper scored the highest with our panel, closely followed by the Silentnight Airmax 600 Mattress Topper. How do you take care of a mattress? If you're not happy with your IKEA mattress, you can return it - provided it is not dirty, marked, or damaged. 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 Matrand memory foam mattress is a slimmer and cheaper option at just under 8''. It comes with a low price point in both latex and all-foam design. It has a firmer profile with two layers of polyurethane foam or synthetic latex blend. Overall, customers are generally comfortable at first, but there are complaints about cooling and firmness.

When we first tried it, we thought it must be a cage sprung when feeling the edge but this is not the case. But it’s not always easy knowing where to start, or which type of mattress – foam, spring or both – will give you the comfortable, high-quality sleep you crave. They can be expensive too, which is why the Good Housekeeping Institute is here to help you invest in a mattress that’s truly worth it. Which is the best mattress on the market?It's important to remember that we spend a significant portion of our lives sleeping, so a mattress should be viewed as a long-term investment for your comfort and health. There is a polyester wadding layer and we would guess this is 200GSM on top of the foam in the quilted layer. You can rotate it but you’re not going to get the longevity out of a one-sided mattress that you will with a two-sided mattress. It seems strange to have a coir insulator pad underneath the spring system, as this offers you the sleeper no benefit at all.
