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.
