Everyone deserves a good night's sleep. However, if you’ve been putting off an upgrade, your mattress shows signs of wear and tear or it doesn’t meet your needs, then a quality night’s sleep can be hard to come by. If your mattress is sagging, squeaking, looking worse for wear or regularly leaves you waking up stiff or in pain, it might be time for a better sleeping solution — but a replacement doesn’t need to break the bank. From firm mattresses to soft mattress toppers, IKEA offers a wide variety of affordable products designed to help you achieve better night’s sleep.
The rundown
- Your mattress can have a profound effect on your sleep quality.
- No two people sleep the same; factors like required size, firmness and support influence the best mattress for you.
- IKEA offers a wide variety of affordable mattresses and toppers to suit different sleeper needs, so there’s something for everyone.
Find the right mattress for you
No two sleepers are the same: the best mattress for you isn’t necessarily comfortable for someone else. Many factors influence this, including your usual sleeping position, weight, age, the support level you need, allergies and whether you sleep alone or with someone else. Fortunately, IKEA offers a wide selection of sleeping solutions to suit a variety of needs, including foam, memory foam, pocket spring and hybrid mattresses, helping you find the rest you need without breaking the bank.
IKEA lists each mattress’s key details online and in-store, including clear information on firmness, type, measurements (including thickness), materials and any special features, such as comfort zone layers.

Take the pain out of purchasing a mattress
When you notice your mattress is affecting your sleep quality, you may put off buying a replacement because you dread wandering from bed store to bed store looking for the right fit, or you’re simply concerned about the toll it will take on your wallet. Well, delay no more. At IKEA, shopping for a new mattress is easy, convenient and most importantly, affordable. By visiting an IKEA big-box warehouse, you can test IKEA mattresses for yourself to see which suits you best — and maybe even pick up extra goodies, such as pillows, lamps, and throws, to make your bedroom homier. Once you find your perfect fit, you can either take the mattress home the same day or have it delivered. Unable to get to a warehouse? No problem. With IKEA online, you can browse the range of sleep solutions and easily view important details, including size, firmness, material type and more, before easily ordering your new mattress for delivery or click and collect from your nearest store. What's more, all IKEA mattresses come with a 10-year limited warranty, which will help you sleep with peace of mind.
Frequently asked questions
Which mattress is best for me?
When buying a mattress, you want one that supports spinal alignment by keeping the spine in its natural curve (regardless of sleeping position) and relieves pressure points by distributing body weight evenly, reducing aches, pains and stiffness. That doesn’t mean the mattress that suits your friend will be perfect for you too. Factors such as your body type, sleeping position, health issues, preferred firmness and material and bed frame size will influence which mattress best achieves this balance of support and pressure relief for you. You won’t really know if a mattress is for you until you sleep on it. Fortunately, IKEA lets you try any mattress for 90 days, and if it’s not for you, you can trade it in for a new one.
What's the difference between foam, spring and hybrid mattresses?
IKEA offers three main mattress types: spring, foam (or memory foam) and hybrid. Spring mattresses use coils to distribute your weight, providing optimal body support while staying cooler and drier than foam mattresses. Foam and memory foam mattresses are soft and resilient, but don’t feature coils like spring mattresses. These mattresses distribute your body weight more evenly, promoting better blood circulation. If you can’t choose between spring and foam, a hybrid is a great compromise. These mattresses offer sturdiness and pressure relief by combining innerspring core support with foam comfort.
What's the best mattress for side/back/stomach sleepers?
It’s essential to consider your sleeping position when choosing a mattress, as your sleep posture affects which firmness you find more comfortable. According to experts, if you’re a side sleeper (the most common sleep position), choose a mattress with soft-to-medium firmness, as the softer surface better cushions the heavier pressure points in your hips and shoulders. Back and combination sleepers should choose a medium-to-firm mattress, as this provides balanced support. However, stomach sleepers should pick a firm mattress to help support the hips and keep them aligned with your shoulders, preventing aches and pains from a misaligned back.
