How to find the right mattress for you ?
A little knowledge makes it easier to choose. The key is to find a balance between firmness and softness, so that the mattress provides support where it´s needed, moulds itself to your body where it’s comfy and distributes the pressure to help you relax. The rest is personal preferences.
Too soft – no support for the body
A mattress is too soft when the feeling is that the entire body sinks into it without support for shoulders and hips. The spine doesn’t align correctly and the muscles work to correct the position, making it difficult to relax.
Too firm – too much pressure on the body
A mattress is too firm when you feel as if you lie on top of it. Heavy body parts don’t sink into the mattress, and it doesn’t mould itself to your body. This increases pressure on the body, and the spine doesn’t align correctly. )
Balanced firmness and softness
A mattress with the right balance between firmness and softness provides support where needed and allows heavier body parts to sink into the mattress. The spine enjoys a natural and comfy alignment, helping you to relax – and sleep snug.Get started choosing your mattress

Types of Materials for Mattresses
What is Comfort Zone?
The comfort zones of our mattresses are simply zones that support your body in different ways to keep your spine aligned and create a good a sleeping position. Slightly softer springs around the hip and shoulder, so they can sink softly into the mattress. And slightly firmer springs where, on the contrary, support is needed – such as for the legs and ankles. The overall effect is that your body does not have to work to find a comfortable position. Just relax and sleep well.

Tips for using your mattress
1. Rolled up and ready to go!
Most of the IKEA mattresses and all mattress pads now come rolled as a neat package that takes up minimal space. So our trucks transport more for less fuel. It also means you can take it home on the bus or fit it in the boot of your car.
2. A reminder of using a new mattress/mattress pad for the first time
● A new mattress/mattress pad can be a bit too soft or firm when using it for the first time. Allow one month for your body to get used to the mattress/mattress pad.
● A new mattress/mattress pad may have a distinctive odor when you first open it. Do not worry, the smell comes from the foam inside the mattress/mattress pad. It is tested to be non-toxic to human body.
● Airing and vacuuming the new mattress/mattress pad will help to reduce the smell.
● Most of our mattresses and mattress pads are roll packed. They can be used right away but will regain their shape and size completely after 3-4 days.
3. Mattress Cleaning and Care
● Vacuuming the mattress helps remove dust mites. For details, please refer to the care instructions on the inner label.
● Use a mattress protector that can be easily removed and washed to keep the mattress cleaner and more hygienic.
● Even the highest-quality mattress may lose some comfort over time and accumulate dust and mites. Therefore, even with a 10-year warranty, we recommend replacing your mattress every 8 to 10 years.
