About IKEA

IKEA has sold mattresses for as long as it has sold beds, and the range is deliberately simple: a handful of foam, memory foam, latex and pocket-spring models at prices between roughly $250 and $900 for a queen.

The single most important thing to understand about buying an IKEA mattress is the return policy. IKEA gives you 365 days to change your mind on a mattress — longer than most premium bed-in-a-box brands — and pairs it with a 10-year limited warranty. At the budget end of the market, where nobody else offers a real trial, that is the differentiator.

The second thing to understand is sizing. IKEA sells both US sizes and European sizes depending on region and model, and European dimensions do not match US sheet sets. Check the label, not the name, before you buy bedding.

What they make

Budget polyfoam, memory foam, latex and pocket-spring mattresses; mattress toppers, pillows, bed frames and slatted bases.

Origin

Swedish — manufactured through IKEA's global supplier network

IKEA Signature Technologies

365-Day Return Window

A full year to exchange or return a mattress — the longest trial in the budget tier, and longer than most DTC brands.

Washable Zip Covers

Most IKEA mattresses ship with a removable, machine-washable cover, which is rare below $500.

Slatted Base Pairing

The range is designed around IKEA's own Luröy and Lönset slatted bases, which change the effective firmness of the mattress on top.

Best for

Guest rooms, dorms and first apartments
Kids moving up to a full-size bed
Shoppers who want a real return window at a budget price
Anyone who needs a mattress today rather than in a week

Not ideal for

Sleepers over roughly 230 lb wanting a long-term primary bed
Side sleepers needing deep pressure relief from a thin mattress
Buyers who want premium materials like GOLS latex or zoned coils

How Much Does a IKEA Mattress Cost?

IKEA queens run $250–$900 across the lineup (budget tier). The table below estimates the rest of the size ladder from that queen range using the standard size pricing brands apply — the low column tracks the entry model, the high column the flagship. Treat these as planning estimates rather than quotes: promotions move real street prices by 20–30% for weeks at a time.

Estimated IKEA mattress prices by size
Size	Dimensions	Entry model (est.)	Flagship (est.)
Twin	38" × 75"	$155	$555

IKEA FAQ

Are IKEA mattresses any good?

For the money, yes — with a caveat. IKEA beds are honestly built for their price and backed by a 365-day return window and 10-year warranty that no Amazon competitor matches. But most are 7 to 10 inches thick, which is thin for an adult's nightly bed. Treat them as excellent guest room, kids' room and first-apartment mattresses rather than long-term primary beds.

Which IKEA mattress is best?

The Matrand memory foam is the best pick for side sleepers, the Haugesund pocket spring is the coolest-sleeping option, and the Morgedal foam is the cheapest firm option for back and stomach sleepers. Above those, the Morgongava latex model is the most durable material in the range.

How long do IKEA mattresses last?

Plan on five to seven years of nightly use for the foam models and slightly longer for the spring and latex models. Guest-room use, where the mattress is slept on a few nights a month, can stretch that well past a decade.

Can you return an IKEA mattress after sleeping on it?

Yes. IKEA's mattress policy allows returns or exchanges within 365 days of purchase even after use, with a receipt. It is the main reason to buy an IKEA mattress over a cheaper Amazon one.
