10 Best IKEA Mattresses of 2026

By the HearSmart research desk · Updated November 11, 2026 · Next review December 26, 2026 · 10 products compared

Ranked firstIKEA VALEVÅGmost IKEA shoppers, especially side sleepers8.9

The short version

VALEVÅG is the IKEA mattress to start with: zoned pocket springs, three firmness levels and a $399 queen. VÅGSTRANDA is the upgrade for side sleepers, VESTERÖY is the budget spring bed at $299, and ÅNNELAND is the only hybrid for people who want memory foam over coils. Among foam models, ÅKREHAMN is the best all-rounder, ÅBROTTEN adds a cooling layer, ÅSBYGDA is the cheapest with memory foam, and ÅSVANG, ÅGOTNES and VANNAREID are for spare beds, kids' rooms and day beds.

Short answer

IKEA VALEVÅG is the best mattress at IKEA for most people in 2026 because it gives 5 comfort zones and a choice of medium firm, firm or extra firm for $399 in queen, as of November 2026. VÅGSTRANDA suits side sleepers who want two layers of pocket springs and 7 zones at $549, and VESTERÖY is the cheapest spring queen at $299. If you want foam, pick ÅKREHAMN at $379; the cheapest bed is ÅGOTNES at $129 for a queen.

This list is for shoppers choosing a mattress from IKEA's US range. We checked IKEA's US mattress category pages on November 11, 2026 and found 10 adult and day bed mattresses for sale: five spring or hybrid models and five foam models. IKEA did not list a latex mattress in the US range when we checked, and older names such as MORGEDAL, MATRAND and HÖVÅG no longer appeared, so they are not ranked. We compared documented features and published prices from each IKEA US product page; we did not test the mattresses. Prices are for a queen unless the model has no queen.

    Queen $399 on IKEA US when checked; twin $349, full $379, king $499

    Quoted from the IKEA VALEVÅG pricing page on November 11, 2026: VALEVÅG Pocket spring mattress, medium firm/white, Queen $ 399 . 00 Price $ 399.00

    VALEVÅG ranks first because it pairs IKEA's zoned pocket spring design with the lowest queen price in that part of the range. The 9 1/2 inch mattress uses individually wrapped springs with 5 comfort zones, softer under the shoulders and hips, and IKEA says it suits all sleepers, especially side sleepers. It comes in medium firm, firm and extra firm, more choice than most IKEA models, so one line covers side, back and stomach sleepers. The queen cost $399 on IKEA's US site on November 11, 2026, with twin at $349 and king at $499. The page showed a 4 out of 5 star rating from 3,800 reviews, the largest count on this list. The trade-offs: the cover cannot go in the washing machine, the top comfort layer is a single layer of 1.5 lb/cu.ft. polyurethane foam, and IKEA pairs it with a mattress base or a non-adjustable slatted base only. Like the other full-size mattresses here, it carries a 10-year limited warranty and IKEA's 90-day try-at-home exchange.

    Quoted from the IKEA VÅGSTRANDA pricing page on November 11, 2026: VÅGSTRANDA Pocket spring mattress, medium firm/white, Queen $ 549 . 00 Price $ 549.00

    VÅGSTRANDA is the most advanced spring mattress in IKEA's US range. Its S-core pocket springs stack a supportive bottom layer under a pressure-relieving top layer, and 7 comfort zones spread the support more finely than the 5 zones on VALEVÅG. At 11 inches it is also the thickest model on this list. IKEA describes it as ideal for side sleepers of all body types and sells it in medium firm, firm and plush, so lighter side sleepers can choose a softer top. The queen cost $549 on IKEA's US site when we checked on November 11, 2026, with king at $699. The product page showed 4 out of 5 stars from 1,758 reviews. It ranks second rather than first only on value: VALEVÅG gives a similar zoned spring design for $150 less in queen. As with the other spring models, the cover is not washable and IKEA lists it for mattress bases or non-adjustable slatted bases.

    What it does well

    Quoted from the IKEA VESTERÖY pricing page on November 11, 2026: Queen $ 299 . 00 $ 299.00

    VESTERÖY is the value pick for shoppers who want springs rather than foam. It is a 7 7/8 inch firm pocket spring mattress, and IKEA says it suits all sleepers whatever their body shape or size, with springs that reduce motion transfer and help draw heat away. The queen cost $299 on IKEA's US site on November 11, 2026, $100 less than VALEVÅG, and twin started at $249. It had the best rating on this list, 4.2 out of 5 stars from 3,456 reviews. What you give up for the price: no comfort zones, a single firm feel, no king size and a cover that is spot-clean only. It also offers twin X-long, which few IKEA models do, so it suits college beds. IKEA lists it for a mattress base or non-adjustable slatted base. If zoned support for your shoulders and hips matters, spend the extra $100 on VALEVÅG.

    Quoted from the IKEA ÅKREHAMN pricing page on November 11, 2026: Queen $ 379 . 00 $ 379.00

    ÅKREHAMN is the strongest all-foam mattress in IKEA's US range for the money. It stacks 2.2 lb/cu.ft. high-resilience foam over 3.1 lb/cu.ft. memory foam over a 1.7 lb/cu.ft. base, with 5 comfort zones to support the hips and shoulders, in a 7 7/8 inch profile. It comes in firm and medium firm. The cover is removable, machine washable and divides in two to fit the washer. The queen cost $379 on IKEA's US site on November 11, 2026, with twin at $329 and king at $479, and the page showed 3.9 out of 5 stars from 1,149 reviews. It ranks just behind the spring models because it is thinner and offers no extra-soft option, but it is a good fit for people who dislike the bounce of springs or want a washable cover at a lower price than ÅNNELAND. IKEA lists it for slatted bed bases or slatted mattress bases.

    Quoted from the IKEA ÅNNELAND pricing page on November 11, 2026: ÅNNELAND Hybrid mattress, firm/white, Queen $ 649 . 00 Price $ 649.00

    ÅNNELAND is IKEA's hybrid: a top layer of high-resilience foam gives a firm surface, memory foam beneath it relieves pressure on the spine and joints, and pocket springs carry the support, with 5 comfort zones. It is 9 1/2 inches thick and sold in firm, medium firm and plush. Unlike IKEA's pure spring models, its cover comes off and goes in the washing machine. IKEA's own copy adds a useful caveat: it calls the mattress ideal if you don't move much during sleep, which suggests the memory foam layer slows repositioning. The queen cost $649 on IKEA's US site on November 11, 2026, the highest price on this list, and king was $849. The page showed 3.9 out of 5 stars from 1,190 reviews. It ranks fourth because VÅGSTRANDA offers deeper spring support for $100 less, but it is the pick if you specifically want memory foam on top of coils.

    Quoted from the IKEA ÅBROTTEN pricing page on November 11, 2026: ÅBROTTEN Foam mattress, firm/white, Queen $ 449 . 00 Price $ 449.00

    ÅBROTTEN is IKEA's cooling foam mattress. Its top layer of 2.18 lb/cu.ft. polyurethane foam carries a paraffin-based phase change material gel coating that IKEA says stays cooler and helps regulate body temperature, and the cover includes sportswear fibers that move moisture and heat away. Underneath sit high-resilience foam and 3.1 lb/cu.ft. memory foam with 5 comfort zones. It is 7 7/8 inches thick, comes in firm and medium firm, and has a removable, machine-washable cover. IKEA lists it as suitable for adjustable slatted bed bases. The queen cost $449 on IKEA's US site on November 11, 2026, $70 more than ÅKREHAMN. The product page showed 3.4 out of 5 stars from 205 reviews, the weakest score among the full-size models here, so the cooling claim is the main reason to choose it over ÅKREHAMN.

    ÅSBYGDA is the cheapest way to get memory foam and comfort zones at IKEA. It is a 6 1/4 inch firm mattress with two foam layers: 3.1 lb/cu.ft. memory foam on top for pressure relief and 1.7 lb/cu.ft. foam below, with 5 comfort zones. The knitted cover is removable and machine washable. The queen cost $249 on IKEA's US site on November 11, 2026, with twin at $199 and king at $349, making it the cheapest king on this list. The product page showed 3.6 out of 5 stars from 124 reviews. The low profile is the main limit: at 6 1/4 inches it has less depth than ÅKREHAMN or any of the spring models, so heavier adults may prefer a thicker bed. It suits guest rooms, kids' rooms and short-term setups where price matters more than depth.

    ÅSVANG is a basic one-layer foam mattress. IKEA describes it as a simple medium-firm mattress, 4 3/4 inches high, with resilient 1.7 lb/cu.ft. foam and a layer of wadding in a quilted cover that comes off and goes in the washing machine. The queen cost $199 on IKEA's US site on November 11, 2026, with twin at $129, and the page showed 3.9 out of 5 stars from 187 reviews. It has no memory foam, no comfort zones and no king size, so it is not a main bed for most adults. It makes sense for a spare room, a loft bed or a child's bed where the frame limits mattress height, and it is a step up in thickness and softness from ÅGOTNES for a modest price difference.

    ÅGOTNES is the cheapest mattress IKEA sells in adult sizes in the US. IKEA calls it a basic firm foam mattress, 3 7/8 inches high, with one layer of 1.5 lb/cu.ft. foam and a soft layer of wadding in a durable, smooth cover. The twin cost $89 and the queen $129 on IKEA's US site on November 11, 2026. The product page showed 3.8 out of 5 stars from 1,621 reviews. It is too thin to be a primary adult mattress for most people, the cover is spot-clean only, and its US page did not show the 90-day try-at-home message that appeared on the other full-size models we checked. Use it for a daybed, a floor bed, a child's first bed or a short-term rental, where the price and light weight matter most.

    VANNAREID is a niche pick: a pocket spring mattress that IKEA says is specially designed to fit a day bed. It is 5 1/8 inches thick and firm, with springs that IKEA says help draw heat away, and it gives comfortable support for overnight guests or short stays. Its outer cover, 55% cotton and 45% polyester, can go in the washing machine. It only comes in twin, which cost $179 on IKEA's US site on November 11, 2026, and the page showed 3.9 out of 5 stars from 330 reviews. It ranks last because it is not a general-purpose bed, but if you have a day bed and want springs instead of a thin foam pad such as ÅGOTNES, it is the model IKEA built for that job.

Before you pick a product or a plan

Choose springs or foam first

IKEA's spring models (VALEVÅG, VÅGSTRANDA, VESTERÖY) are 7 7/8 to 11 inches thick and IKEA says their edge-to-edge springs retain less heat. Its foam models are 3 7/8 to 7 7/8 inches and most have washable covers. ÅNNELAND combines both.

Look for comfort zones if you sleep on your side

VALEVÅG, ÅNNELAND, ÅKREHAMN, ÅBROTTEN and ÅSBYGDA have 5 comfort zones and VÅGSTRANDA has 7. IKEA says the softer zones let the shoulders and hips sink in while firmer zones support the lower back.

Match the mattress to your bed base

IKEA's product pages say the spring models need a mattress base or a non-adjustable slatted base. Several foam models, including ÅBROTTEN and ÅSBYGDA, are listed as suitable for adjustable slatted bed bases.

Know the try-at-home terms

Most full-size IKEA mattress pages we checked showed a 90-day try-at-home offer that lets you exchange the mattress, not return it for cash, plus a 10-year limited warranty. Read the terms on the product page before you buy.

Give it a few days

IKEA says its roll-packed mattresses need about 72 hours, or 3 to 4 days for spring models, to regain their full shape, and your body may take a few weeks to adjust.
