When you've found your perfect match, you can sleep easy for years to come with our free 10-year guarantee.

Simply bring your mattress and your receipt or order number to any IKEA store, and one of our sleep experts can help you find a different one.

A delivery fee may also be applicable if you require your new mattress to be delivered.

Conditions: IKEA mattress exchange

  • You can exchange your mattress once within 90 days.
  • The only condition is that it’s not dirty, marked or damaged. ​ ​Keep your mattress fresh and clean with a mattress protector. It will also extend its life by many years.
  • New mattresses often feel a bit too firm, so wait at least a month for your body to get used to the mattress and for the mattress to get used to your body.
  • The mattress may need about 72 hours to fully regain its shape and comfort after having been roll-packed. Any wrinkles will disappear too.
  • To get the best comfort you also need the right pillow, make sure you have a pillow that suits you and your new mattress.
