Discover affordable mattresses at IKEA for a good night’s sleep

At IKEA, you’ll find everything you need for a good night’s sleep. If you’re looking to buy a mattress, you’ll need to consider a few things. Your sleeping position, body weight and personal preferences all help determine which mattress suits you best. A good mattress supports your spine, relieves pressure points and helps you wake up refreshed.

Firmness is a key factor. Back sleepers often need firmer support, while side sleepers may find softer options more comfortable. The material matters too. Spring mattresses, for example, can offer good airflow, foam mattresses can adapt closely to your body and latex mattresses combine resilience with durability. At IKEA, you’ll find high-quality mattresses at affordable prices.

Key features and benefits of our mattresses at a glance (depending on the model):

• Different firmness levels, from soft to firm, to suit different sleep needs
• A choice of materials, including spring, latex and foam, for different comfort preferences
• A wide range of sizes, from 90x200 to 180x200 cm, to suit your bed size
• Ergonomic support, including comfort zones on some models, to help support your back properly
• Breathable materials to help keep your sleep climate comfortable without overheating
• A 10-year guarantee on all models, for long-term confidence in quality (see the guarantee brochure for terms)

Our tip: pop into your local IKEA store and try a few by lying down on them. That way, you can find out what feels right for you, and we’ll be happy to help. You’ll also find baby and children’s mattresses at IKEA. It’s never too early to start sleeping well.

How do I find the ideal mattress for my sleep style?

We’re happy to help you find a good, affordable mattress, whether you’re looking at latex or spring mattresses, and whether you sleep on your back, front or side. Your preferred sleeping position is usually a good guide when choosing between a medium-firm  and firm mattress.

• Back sleepers need good support to help keep the spine aligned.
• Side sleepers usually need softer zones around the shoulders and hips.
• Stomach sleepers can benefit from a slightly firmer mattress that helps prevent sagging.

Your body weight also plays a part: lighter people often prefer softer firmness levels, while heavier people may feel better supported on firmer models. Don’t forget the bed base, either. A suitable slatted bed base can make a real difference to pressure relief and back support. For more detail, take a look at our mattress guide, and if you’re still unsure, pop into an IKEA store and try a few by lying down on them.

What are the best mattresses for back problems?

If you suffer from back pain, getting the right support is especially important. A mattress with a medium to firm tension keeps the spine in a natural position and can help prevent muscle tension. Pocket spring mattresses offer targeted support, while latex mattresses adapt ergonomically to your body. The right base matters too – a suitable slatted bed base enhances pressure relief and provides additional support for your back. One important note: always speak to a professional about this. Doctors and ergonomics specialists are best placed to advise you. Once you know what you need, your IKEA mattress will be waiting for you.

What are the best mattresses for side sleepers?

If you sleep on your side, you’ll want a mattress that lets your shoulders and hips sink in a little, while still supporting your waist. A softer to medium-firm feel is often a good match, as it can help take pressure off those key points. Memory foam can work well because it moulds closely to your shape. Latex mattresses offer a more springy, responsive feel with good bounce. Together, these qualities can help keep your spine in better alignment and reduce the chance of waking up stiff.

What are the benefits of a memory foam mattress?

Memory foam responds to body heat and pressure, so it gradually shapes itself to your contours. This helps spread your weight more evenly and can relieve pressure on areas like your shoulders and hips. It can be a particularly good option if you’re sensitive to pressure or have joint pain. And if you share a bed, memory foam can help reduce how much you feel your partner moving around.

Which mattress works best for couples with different sleep habits?

If you have different needs, two separate mattresses are often the easiest solution. That way, each person can choose their preferred firmness without compromise. Sizes like 160x200 or 180x200 cm can work well with two separate single mattresses.

Are there special mattresses for children?

Children’s mattresses have their own requirements. They should be firm enough to support a growing spine, but not so hard that they feel uncomfortable. A 90x200 cm mattress works well for many children’s beds and can last as they grow. Breathable materials and washable covers also help create a more hygienic sleep space. Our mattresses are tested to meet strict safety standards and give children a supportive base for a good night’s sleep.

How often should I replace my mattress?

On average, a good mattress lasts around 8 to 10 years. Signs it may be time to replace it include visible dips, reduced support or waking up often with stiffness. Turning your mattress regularly and using a mattress protector can help extend its life. All IKEA mattresses come with a 10-year guarantee, but do check the guarantee brochure for the terms.

Which mattresses are best in hot weather?

If you get hot at night, good temperature regulation matters. Spring mattresses have a more open structure, which helps air circulate and can reduce heat build-up. Latex mattresses with ventilation channels can also help you sleep cooler. For extra comfort, pair your mattress with a lighter summer duvet and breathable covers.
