Ikea Latex Mattress Ratings
The Ikea latex mattress report below is based on 38 owner / consumer reviews of several models including Erfjord, Engenes, Elsjord, Fjordgard, foam/latex hybrid models and discontinued models.
The data was collected using an unbiased, accurate methodology.
| Owner satisfaction | good | Ikea latex mattresses have 84% owner satisfaction. This is better than both Ikea spring beds and Ikea foam beds. |
| Durability / longevity | fair | The main complaint for Ikea latex mattresses is sagging / body impression development that occurs within just three years of ownership. About 15% of owners report this problem. |
| Price | good | Prices are $350-$900 for a queen size depending on the model. More expensive models tend to have a higher percentage of natural latex, as opposed to synthetic latex. These more expensive models tend to have somewhat higher owner satisfaction than less expensive models. |
| Reduced pain / pressure points | good | Owner reviews generally praise the beds for their ability to reduce pressure points and pain, including back pain. See mattresses and pain relief for more analysis. |
| Firmness variety | fair | Only a limited number of firmness levels are available. All of the Ikea latex beds use blended dunlop latex which is more firm than soft. Too much firmness is a complaint of about 10% of owners. |
| Motion isolation | Good | Latex often minimizes motion transfer. As a result, a person can move or get up off the bed with minimal disturbance to partner. |
| No initial odor / off gassing | good | Reports of initial odor are minimal. |
| Easy to move on | good | Latex tends to be easy to move on and get up off, often easier than memory foam. |
| No sleeping hot | good | Less than 5% of consumers report that the bed acts as a heat trap. |
| No noise | Good | Reviews suggest that latex makes no noise when lied upon, but the foundation may creak. |
| Dust mite resistant | fair | See mattresses and dust mites. |
| Lightweight | poor | The beds weigh 85-125 lbs or more. Latex mattresses tend to be one of the heaviest types of beds. Transporting and handling a bed likely requires more than one person. |
| Low / easy maintenance | poor | The mattress may need to be turned and or flipped on occasion. Cleaning the mattress cover is a main owner complaint because it requires using upholstery shampoo (no machine wash or dry clean). |
| Warranty | good | The warranty is 20 years. (See mattress warranties: what you should know.) |
| Return policy | fair | Ikea has a 90-day exchange policy. No money-back refunds are given. (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. |
