Mattresses

Needless to say – a mattress matters! Everyone sleeps a little differently. Understanding the different mattress types will help you choose one which suits your sleep perfectly.

What to consider while choosing a mattress

At IKEA, mattress selection has never been easier. You'll find the most popular mattress types and bed pads for your sleeping style, size, and comfort preferences. Do you prefer a broad and firm spring mattress that feels great to stretch out on, or a soft foam mattress that you can sink into like a dream? One mattress feels like sleeping on a field beneath the stars, another feels like resting on a cloud. The point being – everyone prefers a different kind of mattress.

Choosing a mattress requires you to consider the softness or firmness you prefer, but also what size feels most comfortable, and whether there’s a particular material that helps you sleep well. If you find yourself often waking up with aches or pains, chances are you need a different kind of mattress entirely.

Foam and latex mattresses

Foam, latex mattresses and visco mattresses mould to the shape of your body and distribute your weight evenly. These mattresses provide support for your whole body without putting extra pressure on any specific body parts. They are also silent (no creaky springs!) and absorb the shock of movement. This makes foam and latex mattresses a great choice if you have a partner who tosses and turns in their sleep.

Spring mattresses

Our spring mattresses also distribute your weight evenly, so that there’s no extra pressure on any part of your body. A key difference to the foam and latex mattresses, however, is that the open spring construction helps air flow through the mattress. This supports the ventilation in the mattress and can help you keep cool while you sleep. For some, it may give the mattress a fresher, airier feeling.

Mattresses in different sizes

You won’t have any trouble finding a single mattress matching a single bed or double mattress matching a double bed in a size that perfectly fits your sleeping quarter, whether it’s an enormous master bedroom or a small and cosy space. The most common mattress size dimensions are; Single mattresses, normally 90x200 cm or 80x200 cm, double mattresses normally 160x200 cm or 180x200
