Ikea Mattress Review For 3 Sleeping Types 2016!
By Viljoen | Bedding Products
So you want to know more about the Ikea Mattresses and what it has to offer? Inside this Ikea mattress review, I am going to focus on all the different types of mattresses you can find and also the best mattresses for each type of sleeper.
This is very important because if you do not know what type of sleeper you are, then buying a mattress is going to be a lot harder than it must be.
This type of sleeper needs a very firm mattress because when you are lying on your stomach, your spine needs to be as straight as possible.
This type of sleeper can sleep on a firm to medium-firm. This also depends on the person if they want a very firm mattress or one that is a bit softer.
Most people are side sleepers and thus require a very soft mattress that will allow their hips and shoulders to sink in a bit which will allow your spine to be aligned.
Because each coil is individually wrapped, there will be no undue pressure on your body. This is great for distributing weight and is also very durable. The air circulation is also great for those sleepers that tend to get hot at night.
The only downside of this mattress is that it cannot be turned around. Most of these mattresses are either firm or medium firm.
Below I will choose the 3 best (Twin and Queen mattresses)

The memory foam has the ability to mold to the contours of your body. It is also great in the absorption of movement which makes it great if you share a bed with a fidgety sleeper.
What also makes this mattress great is that it can be turned regularly. These mattresses are usually firm or medium firm.
Below I will also list the top pick of the twin and queen mattress:
It is very easy to wash this mattress as you can remove the cover and wash it with a washing machine.
Type: Medium firm
Warranty: 25 years limited
Shipping: Free
Sleeper type: Stomach or back (preferably back)
Type: Firm
Warranty: 25 years limited
Shipping: Free
Sleeper type: Stomach or back (preferably stomach)
The pillow top mattress can be used as a mattress itself, but works best when added upon another mattress. When added to a mattress of your choice, it will add extra softness to it which will turn your mattress into a type plush which is softer than the firm.
Below I will give my top picks of the twin and queen size pillow tops:
This twin size mattress topper has small pocketed coils that contours the natural curves of the body. The thin mattress should be added on an existing mattress to make it even softer.
Type: Pillow top
Shipping: Free
Sleeper type: Side sleeper
This mattress can also be roll backed
Type: Pillow top
Shipping: Free
Sleeper type: Side sleeper
I guess this is the part where I must tell you the flaws that I found in these mattresses.
Ikea does not have all in one type mattresses such as Simmons that are either plush or pillowtop. With Ikea, you need to buy a small mattress topper that you must put on top of your existing mattress.
This can lead to a lot of confusion on which topper to put on which mattress. The all in one approach that Simmons Beautyrest has to offer is much better as it takes this confusion out of the equation.
Some people like the idea, because when they have guests, they now have 2 mattresses. I also noticed that the mattress toppers do not have a warranty in Amazon (I may be wrong).
Some of the best mattresses that I know off has a combination of spring coils at the bottom for support and memory foam on top for comfort. There might be a mattress or 2 with these features, but they are very expensive.
BUT ……….
there was one thing that I really liked and that was that you get your mattress vacuum packed and rolled up which makes it easier for moving the mattress. See video below for more details on how to unpack one of the Ikea mattresses. Have fun …
In this review, I gave a short explanation on the sleeping types with the matching mattress types for these sleeper types.
Ikea mattresses overall are not that bad, but I think for the price that you pay that Simmons Beautyrest is a better mattress.
