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.
