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.
