Our verdict
The Haugesund is IKEA's answer for people who cannot sleep on foam. Pocket springs wrapped in a thin foam and fiber comfort layer give it airflow that neither the Morgedal nor the Matrand can match, and at 10 inches it is the tallest of the three budget models. It sleeps noticeably cooler and responds faster when you roll over. In exchange you lose motion isolation — springs transfer movement, and a restless partner will be felt. It is the pick for a hot sleeper, a combination sleeper, or anyone furnishing a guest room in a warm climate.

Firmness Level
Medium (6/10)
What We Love
- Pocket springs move air — clearly the coolest of IKEA's budget trio
- 10 inches tall, so standard fitted sheets sit correctly
- Responsive surface makes repositioning easy for combination sleepers
- Same 365-day return window and 10-year limited warranty
- Individually wrapped coils, not a connected innerspring unit
What Could Be Better
- Motion transfer is the worst of the three IKEA models
- Thin comfort layer means limited pressure relief for strict side sleepers
- Perimeter coils are not reinforced — edge sag under sitting
- Heavy and awkward to move up stairs compared with a boxed foam bed
Best For
- Hot sleepers
- Combination sleepers
- Back sleepers
- Guest rooms in warm climates
- Anyone who dislikes the sinking foam feel
Not Ideal For
- Light sleepers with a restless partner
- Strict side sleepers needing deep contour

Sleep Position Analysis
Side Sleepers
At 6/10 firmness, the IKEA Haugesund Spring 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 Haugesund Spring Mattress's listed firmness of 6/10 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
Stomach sleepers generally need sufficient hip support. At the published firmness of 6/10, the IKEA Haugesund Spring Mattress may suit some stomach sleepers, but a medium pillow-top model may be too soft for others. We have not recorded instrumented hip-sinkage or alignment measurements for this model.
Combination Sleepers
The IKEA Haugesund Spring Mattress's innerspring construction provides responsive support that may make changing positions easier than with some slow-response all-foam designs. Pocketed coils can add responsiveness, but ease of movement varies with the comfort layers and the sleeper.
Which IKEA Haugesund Spring Mattress Model Should You Buy?
The Haugesund is IKEA's pocket-spring mattress and the coolest-sleeping bed in the mainstream range. Springs put it in a different feel category from the Morgedal and Matrand: bouncier, easier to move on, and less isolating for couples.
| Model | Firmness | Best for | Queen |
|---|---|---|---|
| Haugesund Spring | 6/10 | Hot sleepers and combination sleepersOur pick for anyone who overheats on foam. Pocket springs plus a thin foam top. | $379 |
| Hamarvik Spring | 6.5/10 | Firmer support on a budgetBonnell springs rather than pocket coils — less motion isolation, cheaper, firmer. | $299 |
| Hesstun Euro-Top | 5.5/10 | A plusher primary bedIKEA's premium spring bed with a real Euro top and better coil count. | $899 |
| Vesteröy Pocket Spring | 6/10 | A step up in coil qualityMore coils and a thicker comfort layer than the Haugesund for $170 more. | $549 |

Read the full IKEA Haugesund Spring Mattress vs. Zinus Green Tea comparison →Why the coils matter at this price
Pocket springs move air. That is the single biggest reason the Haugesund is the coolest bed IKEA sells — heat leaves through the coil layer instead of being held in foam. If your complaint about your last mattress was waking up hot, this is the one in the range to try first.
Bounce is the other consequence. Getting in and out of bed and changing position are noticeably easier than on the Morgedal, which matters more than people expect for older sleepers and anyone with mobility limitations.
Where it falls short
The comfort layer over the coils is thin. Side sleepers feel the coil unit through it sooner than they would on a proper hybrid with two or three inches of foam. If you sleep strictly on your side, the Matrand or a topper over the Haugesund is the better plan.
Motion transfer is real. These are pocket coils, so it's better than a Bonnell unit like the Hamarvik, but a restless partner is more noticeable than on either foam bed.
Setup and longevity
It ships rolled and expands within about 72 hours with minimal smell — springs and thin foam off-gas far less than memory foam. It needs a supportive slatted or solid base; on a sagging old box spring, the coil unit will follow the dip.
Coil units tend to outlive budget foam. Expect five to seven years before the comfort layer flattens, which is longer than either the Morgedal or Matrand.
