Our verdict
The Matrand is the memory-foam sibling to the Morgedal and the better pick if you sleep on your side. An 8-inch build puts a proper viscoelastic comfort layer over a polyfoam core, which gives you the slow-sinking contour that budget polyfoam beds cannot produce. The trade-off is heat: memory foam over solid polyfoam with no coils and no phase-change cover means it runs warm, and hot sleepers should look at the Haugesund spring model instead.

Sleep Position Analysis
Side Sleepers
At 5.5/10 firmness, the IKEA Matrand Memory Foam Mattress may be worth trying for side sleepers who prefer a medium surface. Body shape, shoulder width and individual preferences can change how the same mattress feels.
Back Sleepers
The IKEA Matrand Memory Foam Mattress's listed firmness of 5.5/10 may suit back sleepers seeking a medium-to-firm surface. Spinal alignment and hip support have not been objectively measured for this model unless documented test results appear above.
Stomach Sleepers
At 5.5/10 firmness, the IKEA Matrand Memory Foam Mattress may be too soft for stomach sleepers. Stomach sleepers may want to compare a firmer model, especially if they notice uncomfortable hip sinkage.
Combination Sleepers
The IKEA Matrand Memory Foam Mattress's memory foam construction contours to each sleep position but may resist quick position changes. Slower-responding foam can make combination sleepers feel briefly "stuck" when transitioning.
Which IKEA Matrand Memory Foam Mattress Model Should You Buy?
The Matrand is IKEA's memory foam option, sitting directly against the Morgedal in price and against the Haugesund in feel. It is the softest of IKEA's three mainstream boxed beds and the one to buy if you want contour rather than support.
| Model | Firmness | Best for | Queen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matrand Memory Foam | 5.5/10 | Side sleepers wanting contourOur pick for side sleeping in the IKEA range. Memory foam top over a supportive base. | $399 |
| Morgedal Foam | 6.5/10 | Back sleepersFirmer, cooler, more responsive. The better choice for stomach and back sleepers. | $349 |
| Myrbacka Latex | 6/10 | DurabilityLatex blend. Springier and longer-lived than either foam bed for $200 more. | $599 |
| Åbygda Foam | 6/10 | Guest rooms and kidsThe entry foam mattress. Thin comfort layer; fine occasionally, not for nightly adult use. | $229 |

Read the full IKEA Matrand Memory Foam Mattress vs. Nectar Memory Foam comparison →Memory foam at IKEA prices — what's different
The Matrand uses a genuine memory foam comfort layer, but a thin one. You get the contouring sensation and better pressure relief than the Morgedal, without the deep, enveloping sink of a thick memory foam bed. For side sleepers under about 200 lb that thin layer is enough; heavier side sleepers will feel the firmer base through it.
The trade is temperature. Memory foam holds heat and this one has no gel infusion or phase-change cover to counteract it. Hot sleepers should take the Haugesund spring bed or the Morgedal instead.
Motion isolation and couples
This is the Matrand's clear win over the rest of the IKEA range. Memory foam absorbs movement, so a restless partner is far less disruptive than on the Haugesund's pocket springs. In a shared bed under $400 that's meaningful.
Edge support is the weak spot, as it is on all IKEA foam beds. Sitting on the edge compresses it noticeably, and couples who sleep to the perimeter of a queen lose usable surface.
Expansion, smell and lifespan
Give it 72 hours to fully expand and two or three days of airing for the foam smell to clear — memory foam off-gasses more than polyfoam and the Matrand is no exception.
Expect four to five years of nightly adult use before body impressions become noticeable. The 10-year limited warranty covers defects and impressions past a specified depth, not the gradual softening that ends most mattresses' lives.
