Debunking the myths around mattresses
Buying a new mattress can be a big commitment. Making the change can be costly, and how can you be sure you've made the right choice for the many sleeps ahead? Let's bust some common myths surrounding our favourite bedtime companion, shall we?
Myth #1
More springs mean higher quality
False! It’s the design of the spring itself and the materials used in every comfort layer that counts.
Myth #2
A thicker mattress means more comfort
Nope, thicker doesn’t necessarily mean better. Factors such as body weight, type and sleeping positions dictate the best mattress thickness for the most comfort.
Myth #3
The higher the price tag, the better the mattress
Quality has a lot to do with how you feel when you wake up. At IKEA, we pride ourselves on having a range of mattresses for all budgets and sleep preferences.
Quality at a low price
At IKEA, quality and fair pricing are part of our DNA. All mattresses are tested against over 100 criteria in our comfort laboratory. With an exclusive design and a 10-year warranty, they're built to last and ensure a good night's sleep.
