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

Product Information

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! 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.

All Ikea mattresses come with a 90-day home trial to make sure you're completely happy with your mattress. If you're not happy, you can choose another mattress. The trouble with buying a mattress is attempting to figure out what it is you actually need. There are many different types and they can vary in firmness as well as materials. The added benefit of purchasing an IKEA mattress is that they are incredibly affordable compared to other mattresses that are just as good quality. This way, you can use the money you’ve saved for different items from the many ranges that IKEA has to offer. The Morgedal mattress is an all-foam mattress that features two layers of polyurethane foam with a softer cooling foam on the surface and a firmer, more responsive foam as the base. It is rated as firm and most customers describe it as being quite firm at first and then having issues with sagging and dipping over a short duration afterwards. If you had your mattress delivered, the collection and delivery of the replacement mattress would be free of charge.

Do you tend to take naps during the day?

This is an entry-level bed and it’s at a very competitive price point for IKEA. If you’re looking for years of comfort you’ll want to look elsewhere, however, as a temporary bed or in a guest room you might get away with this one for a couple of years’ temporary use. Memory foam‘s a love it or hate it material. You can rotate it but you’re not going to get the longevity out of a one-sided mattress that you will with a two-sided mattress. It seems strange to have a coir insulator pad underneath the spring system, as this offers you the sleeper no benefit at all. It arrives in a compact box, but note that it doesn’t have handles, so we’d advise opening it in the room you’re going to use it in. You don't need to rotate it, though. You would be better off with a double polyester layer or even another foam layer here if you wanted to avoid sagging. They also offer no protection against roll together during the night as the central part of the open coil spring unit is the one point of weakness. Cage sprung, Bonell or Open coil are the crudest of spring construction methods

Motion isolation: You'll want a bed with good motion isolation so that you won't feel your partner toss and turn at night. You might not see Ikea mattresses discounted that often, if at all. That's because these budget-friendly options are generally good value, even when bought at full price and typically cheaper than average for the mattresses of a similar type we've tested. 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. This mattress comes with two firmness options, firm and medium-firm, which is great for those who can’t decide what type they need. The affordability of the mattress (which also doesn’t change depending on firmness) makes this mattress more attractive to consumers across the world. It comes in three different sizes meaning that this mattress is a strong contender among the large mattress collection at IKEA due to its variation. These reasons may be the reason why the HAMARVIK is one of the most highly reviewed mattresses out of the range.This means that they can pretty much fit in any room no matter how restricted the access is. The reason we don’t roll our mattresses is also twofold. Firstly, we don’t like the potential damage that rolling does to the components within the mattress. Secondly, our mattresses can’t be rolled as they contain far too many upholstery fillings to be crushed. Our panel found it extremely comfortable, enjoying the support provided. The many cooling components impressed too, with testers praising its body temperature regulation; we even received some reports of people sweating less at night. Buying a mattress online can be a great way to invest if you’re feeling nervous about parting with your money. This is because mattresses in a box tend to come with 100- to 200-night free trials so you can make sure they deliver the best night's sleep possible.

Once finished, IKEA recommends several mattresses from their range. Whether you sleep alone or with a partner If you're looking for a good budget mattress brand, we'd recommend turning to Silentnight or Happy Beds instead. The Vimsig has an ingenious design that grows with your child. The extendable design makes this a good option for parents on a budget. It comes with one piece of egg-crate poly foam, and polyester / cotton cover. Customer sentiment is mixed with some happy customers describing this mattress as a game changing development, but others describe mixed firmness profiles and support, some describing soft and others describing very firm mattresses.IKEA mattress single sizes should be reserved for children, teenagers, or young adults sleeping alone. It’s a well-upholstered one-sided mattress that comes in two spring tensions: medium firm or a firm spring tension. The firmer of the two is really firm in terms of support, but this is offset by the use of a graphite latex (*which may be synthetic latex; the product description doesn’t further detail – if so, it means this is a synthetic layer and not natural). The other upholstery is a wool layer and then a coir and wool spring insulator layer. This lowers delivery costs too, so the manufacturer may pass some of that saving onto the consumer, making them slightly more affordable than their traditional high street rivals. Should I buy a mattress topper or a new mattress?

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 There is a polyester wadding layer and we would guess this is 200GSM on top of the foam in the quilted layer. Ikea also offers a 10-year guarantee for most of its mattresses. Ikea advises replacing your mattress every 8-10 years, and this is advice we agree with.Some of our panellists and readers said dips formed in the mattress over time, although most found this didn’t impact comfort levels or their overall satisfaction, with many saying they’d turn to Simba again. Regular rotation (but not flipping) would also help alleviate this. The product listing on the VATNESTRÖM IKEA mattress states that it contains “5 comfort zones right where you need them support hips and shoulders, creating a natural spine alignment”. This can cause some confusion amongst consumers as to whether this is the spring unit forming these comfort layers or the latex topper. In 99% of mattresses using comfort zones, these zones are created by the latex or foam layer and not the spring tension.
