Ikea Foam Mattress Ratings

The Ikea (memory) foam mattress report below is based on 51 owner / consumer reviews of several models including Florvag, Fonnes and Favang, Fossing, Fjordgard, Fidjetun, Finnvik, Flokenes and discontinued models.

The data was collected using an unbiased, accurate methodology.

Owner satisfaction good Ikea memory foam mattresses have owner satisfaction of 77%. This is better than Ikea spring beds and somewhat lower than Ikea latex mattresses.
Durability / longevity fair Sagging and loss of support is a main complaint of the Ikea bed. The bed generally does not have the longevity of more expensive memory foam mattress brands. Owners should generally not expect more than a five-year useful life from their Ikea bed with regular use.
Price good Prices are $200-$500 for a queen size depending on the model. Higher priced models tend to be thicker and have somewhat higher owner satisfaction.
Less pain good The contouring properties of memory foam can be beneficial to easing pain, including back pain, consumers report. See mattresses and pain relief for more analysis.
Firmness variety fair Only a limited number of firmness levels are available. Most consumers report Ikea foam mattresses to have medium to high firmness. Too much firmness is a complaint for about 10% of owners.
Motion isolation Good Memory foam keeps movement from transferring across the mattress.
No initial odor / off gassing fair See memory foam off gassing for more analysis.
Easy to move on good Unlike more expensive brands that use higher density foam that can be difficult to move on, Ikea uses lower density (1.4 - 3.1 lbs/ft) foam which is easier to move on.
No sleeping hot fair Less than 5% of consumers report that the mattress is a heat trap.
Good for sex Fair See mattresses and sex for analysis.
Dust mite resistant fair See mattresses and dust mites.
Lightweight good The lower density memory foam used in the mattress keeps the weight down, or at least the bed has less weight than other higher density brands, such as Tempurpedic.
Warranty good The warranty is 20 years. (See mattress warranties: what you should know.)
Return policy fair Ikea gives customers 90 days for an exchange. No money back refunds. (See returning a mattress: what you should know.)
Better Business Bureau (BBB) ratings good Ikea US headquarters has an "A+" rating from the BBB which generally means they stand behind the terms of their product warranties.
