Ikea VESTMARKA sprung mattress, 90x200 cm, extra firm/light blue

Product Information

The foam moulds as you sleep and therefore contours to your body. What’s great about memory foam is that it also aids in relieving pressure from different parts of your body – and the MORGEDAL Memory Foam Mattress is no stranger to this. It specifically relieves pressure from your shoulders and hips, allowing you to feel as light as a feather throughout the night. The layer of soft fillings provides an additional layer of comfort and even more support. The foam also retains heat, designed to keep you warm in the colder months year after year. The IKEA Ågotnes mattress is our recommended alternative to the IKEA Malfors mattress. Previous IKEA spring mattresses A couple of panellists found the mattress took some getting used to and it wasn’t firm enough for everyone’s taste. There’s no removable cover either, so we’d recommend investing in a mattress protector to keep it in top condition.

This mattress is perfect for those who prefer a sturdier feel when sleeping. IKEA has manufactured the mattress with Bonnell springs, and don’t include much softness to prevent that sinking feeling. A firmer mattress also provides more lumbar support, which could be beneficial for those who suffer from spinal problems and have varied hip and pelvic pain while they sleep. Perhaps a firmer option is better if you’re a light sleeper too, as you’re less likely to toss and turn throughout the night. The third spring they use is the dreaded cage or Bonell spring which is one massive spring unit. It’s the cheapest spring construction method and the HAMARVIK & HUSVIKA represents that. If possible, you should avoid Bonell spring units as they are dreadfully uncomfortable and have a habit of waking up sleepers when you want to move during the night as they wobble & shake. The second spring that IKEA uses is the micro spring, which has recently started to appear in mattress showrooms and retailers. We’re not a fan of micro springs, as there’s been a move to start using them to hyperinflate the spring counts in mattresses. This is not the case for IKEA, who typically use them as a secondary comfort layer and to increase loft in their one-sided mattresses. Micro Springs are the latest trend to inflate spring counts in mattresses Coming in close behind the Origin mattress above score-wise, this is another outstanding hybrid mattress. Our testers found it a supportive bedroom addition with just the right amount of sink-in comfort. For most, it regulated their temperature at night well and was dreamily quiet, too.Tempur mattresses are very expensive, but our readers said theirs had barely changed over time, indicating that they’re built to last. Plus, they come with a 10-year guarantee and a washable cover so you can keep things fresh night after night. As is often the case with foam mattresses, it proved warm for some, but Tempur’s 100-night trial (if you shop directly) gives you time to decide if the design is right for you. To remove stains, gently sponge your mattress using washing-up liquid and tepid water. For tougher marks, use diluted washing detergent. Ideally, use a washable mattress protector to keep it free from stains, dust mites and dead skin cells. For the ultimate sleep experience, make sure you invest in a good set of pillows, too. How we test mattresses

The Hamarvik mattress from IKEA would actually make a great mattress base pad to go underneath another mattress to give the illusion of a sprung divan. This is slightly softer support-wise than the REM-Fit we reviewed above and it comes with fewer springs – although given there are 2000, that’s still plenty for a supportive night’s sleep. Again, it’s designed to isolate movement, meaning you should sleep soundly if you share the bed. Our testers found it easy to put on the bed, comfortable, temperature regulating and great quality overall. The Åmsosen gel memory foam mattress is one of the newer additions to IKEA's mattress line up. They offer a polyester blend cover, memory foam topped with a slim gel layer, and egg crate base foam that facilitates air flow. With a medium-firm feel, this mattress is a great option for those looking for an affordable all-foam mattress, but there are some doubts about comfort and durability. The mattress comes with an outer dark beige and white layer of soft material. The mattress is also ergonomically useful as there are handles on either side of the mattress which makes it easy to manoeuvre. You’ll definitely be thankful for the handles if you ever decide to move the mattress about your home!There were no significant niggles with this mattress – some readers and testers found it warm, but not a large proportion. In fact, most found their body temperature just right. Emma also offers a 200-night trial if you have any concerns. That said, if you do tend to run hot at night, you may be better off considering a more breathable hybrid alternative instead. Will not get you much at best a 13.5 gauge open coil/cage sprung with a thin polyester layer or a solid foam mattress. Therefore if you’re under 13 stone it may be too firm as the spring unit is likely to be a 1.6 gauge for the firm model, aimed at sleepers over 15 stone. This mattress has a firm support layer before a light sink in the top layer, thanks to the softer memory foam. If you’re used to memory foam mattresses and their feel, you’ll either love this or hate it. Memory foam reacts to heat not just pressure, so softens as you warm up in bed. It then retains the heat, which is why this is not the mattress if you’re a hot sleeper. It will trap heat and make you sweat if you already struggle with regulating your sleeping temperature.

The cons: Despite medium firmness, people describe it as very firm and uncomfortable for pressure points. We also consult our readers, asking them what they like and dislike about their mattresses, to understand how the most popular brands on the market perform over time in real-world situations. We received 2,081 responses. Every respondent had owned their mattress for at least six months, and gave us their verdict on its comfort, support, durability, value for money and more. The only bed-in-box emperor mattress we've found is the Otty Hybrid. Which mattress size is right for you? Customers enjoy how comfortable the mattress is and believe its quality is second to none. IKEA has branded this mattress by stating that you can have ‘the best of both’ worlds as the Bonnell springs provide firm support whilst the soft filling provides a cushioned feel. This means that the mattress will provide extra comfort support that allows you to rely on it for a fantastic sleep, night after night. Especially with the generous 25-year guarantee! IKEA doesn’t divulge who makes their mattresses but we suspect they use a variety of manufacturers outside the UK that make batches of their models that are then are shipped into the UK. This is similar to imported white label beds, where the same specifications are mass-produced and then labelled for different suppliers around the world. We will continue to see if we can find out the exact source – let us know if you have any more detail on their manufacturers.If you haven’t experienced memory foam we always advise you try a friend’s if possible to see if the overheating and sinking feelings are tolerable for you. If you're not happy with your IKEA mattress, you can return it - provided it is not dirty, marked, or damaged. This is the first IKEA mattress to mention their S-core spring technology. So, let’s take a look at that next.
