Ikea Hesseng

IKEA exchanged this mattress – you might be surprised why i say ok not terrible..it worked perfectly for 2...3 years than it started failing in second or 3rd year sagging in the middle and body aches.....after 4 years when it became terrible gave a call to IKEA submitted pics and they agreed to exchange they take the old and get the new no delivery charges so good isn't it? i… Read more

dont mind exchanging from IKEA coz i have other mattresses from them were very good may be this was may be the product batch problem i dont know not an expert but IKEA is there to give the 25 years warranty coz i know they will survive more than 25 years but if you buy such a mattress from local they just disappear in less than 5 years than where do you go? i dont even know the company or i dont care as far as IKEA is taking care wonderful IKEA.

Amazing and super comfortable – Bought hesseng mattress 3 years ago and im still amazed about quality of it. My partner used to suffer with back pain however since we bought this mattress he slept like a baby ever since. I have to add that he is „heavy weight”Man and every mattress we had before purchasing hesseng was a disaster. Most important fact is that even after so many… Read more

years the mattress still looks like the day we bought it, no sugging issues, cover is removable so can be easly washed. Very impressed, definately worth every penny!

Not good quality – I bought this queen mattress 4 years ago. Since then this medium/firm mattress has gone soft. I see that Ikea has discontinued this product. I bought this from Ikea due to their advertising stating 25 years guarantee on mattress. However after IKEA has now honoured their guarantee policy and given me a full refund. Therefore I believe their honesty on their 25 year guarantee. Show details

Developed saggy spots far too soon – I bought a Hesseng Firm with a Tromsdalen topper in March 2017 and within a few months was noticing a definite sagging effect in the main slept-in areas. I wasn't sure if the topper or the mattress was to blame, so I took off the topper. Without that, the mattress was fairly uncomfortable and proceeded to develop more saggy spots anyway. I was… Read more

rotating it to minimise the effect, but unfortunately, and unnecessarily, it was a one-sided mattress, so there was only a limited capacity to avoid the saggy areas. Sixteen months later, I've had enough and I'm sending the thing to the recycler. I notice that this mattress has been discontinued by Ikea.

I really regret the passing of old fashioned double-sided mattresses that can be easily flipped and turned, with the necessary handles on the sides to enable this. The public is being gypped by the mattress industry.

Cheap product for a very high price – I bought a Hesseng mattress for my apartment in Paris. The first time I tried to remove the cover, the zipper broke. I asked Ikea Customer Service to replace it and was told that it was not their problem and I should get it fixed at my own expense.  Show details

It sagged in less than 3 years – This mattress was ok initially but in less than 3 years it sagged. It is used by two adults of average height and weight. It is now so not supportive that it causes back pain.  Show details

Good Sleep – I have used this mattress for almost 3 years, yet it's still comfortable. I purchased the firm one, it's as firm as we would like it to be. The mattress lets us have a good sleep in this 3 years.  Show details

Hesseng Queen Mattress – We had been looking for a firm Queen Mattress but didn't feel lucky enough until we found one from IKEA. Hesseng Queen Mattress _firm is very hard, in the morning we don't feel back sore at all. It is very good choice for people who have experienced back problem with soft mattress. So far we have used it for nearly a year, it is still firm as when it was new.  Show details

Great mattress for an even greater price – I bought the Ikea Hesseng double mattress 11 months ago to this day, and I still love it. I personally prefer mattresses more on the soft side compared to firm, and this is exactly what I got. The size is perfect, not too big, not too small. As with most Ikea furniture, assembling the actual bed frame itself was a hassle and frustration, to say… Read more

the least, but once the mattress was in place, falling onto it was very rewarding. Anyways, I paid $700 for mine, after having researched other options before purchasing it. A Sealy Posturepedic, for example, will set you back anywhere from $2000 to $4500; granted, they will last you a lifetime, but you simply can't beat the value for money that this Ikea mattress offers. The only thing I will say, however, is that I've noticed it sounding quite squeaky. I can hear the springs anytime I turn over, lie down or get up, and it is quite annoying. But I'm willing to put this aside because my quality of sleep has been so much better since purchasing this mattress. Comfortability and supportiveness is anything but an issue, however durability is average; apart from the squeakiness, I have also noticed my mattress sinking in the middle where I lie. So with that in mind, make sure to sleep on it before deciding on anything :)

Ikea Hesseng- Medium/Firm Mattress – I accidentally purchased the Firm Hesseng Mattress even though I wanted the medium/firm. Realised a few weeks along when I kept saying it felt nothing like in store. Due to their good policy I was able to exchange for the Medium/firm, but still after 4 weeks I have terrible back/chest pain. I felt this was still quite firm. It is so bad I am… Read more

now on medication to sleep at night. The only positive is that you cannot feel the person next to you move.

Just ok! – Bought this mattress about 7 mths ago. Impressed by return and swap policy. We were tired of all the confusing hype in mattress selling land. ( reminds me of realestate selling) We were very interested in the qualities of latex-support, long term comfort. Not so impressed with the price. Especially in Qld. There are very few companies that sell '… Read more

pure' latex.

This ikea mattress has pocket springs which means you don't feel your partner moving- big +

The top comfort layer is latex but with synthetics.- not so good in the long run. We used a wool topper for comfort but over the 6-7 mths we began to feel the classic dip on each size. Rotating the mattress doesn't fix this. Still an OK bed but we had decided to ' bite the bullet' & buy a pure, natural latex mattress. Because we had bought the top of the range mattress @ Ikea we were able to get a credit. We were OK with this as there are no places that I know of that even let you return or swap mattresses. There are some online companies that do but their track record is early days.

great so far – I also have had lower back issues for a few months, especially in the morning, and I think it is because my 8yo sleepmaker pillowtop mattress had 'hammocked'. I tried adding a memory foam mattress pad to extend its life, but that didnt really work - it just felt like being partly buried in a softer hammock. The Hesseng mattress is very firm, as… Read more

others have mentioned, but using the mattress pad (its also ikea - tussoy) on it I find it really comfortable and supportive. I havent tried it without the mattress pad, but I think it would be okay. After only two sleeps, my back definitely feels a bit better this morning

I chose the Hesseng because it has good quality materials, zoned pocket coils and no pillowtop. I didnt want a pillow top because they get sink holes, so I wanted to be able to replace the mattress pad rather than the whole mattress when the mattress pad fails.

I checked out lots of mattress shops but couldnt get a mattress of similar quality with these features anywhere near this price, plus I kept getting the hard sell to upgrade which is very annoying!

As someone else mentioned, it really did smell a bit like hay in the first day or two, in a nice way, but it doesnt smell at all now.

I am very happy with it so far and will try to remember to post an update once I have had it a while, as I found it difficult to find enough reviews to make my decision. Others have indicated that the Ikea mattresses dont last that long, and nowhere near their 25 year warranty. However, my expensive sleepmaker also only lasted 8 years and I hear the same of other beds, so even if this one lasts about the same amount of time before needing replacement, I will save money

Worst Mattress Ever – I had bought firm Hesseng Pocket Sprung Mattress (Article Number 402.577.29) from Ikea in June this year, and ever since facing back issues. It's not only me, but my wife as well as her parents; everyone in my family is experiencing back pains. Even an employee from Ikea told me that she too faced the same back problem. Additionally, my friend who… Read more

bought the same mattress too faced the same issue.

But Ikea is not ready to accept this. All they are saying is that the mattress can be swapped only once as per your comfort level. But what do I swap it with? This is apparently the best mattress in Ikea.

For the past one month, I am sleeping on a rug happily and I wake up without any pain. And my family is sleeping on the other bed. Overall, we have a $800 big junk lying on our bed :(

Nice matures but show room ones feel much more comfortable – Does not feel anything like the ones in store although only had for one night hope it softens up a bit more I may have to buy a topper as well although the ones in store were very comftable with out topper just have to wait a few more days and see  Show details

Great mattress, firm just as described – Having had back issues for some time, I was convinced that it was our, not so old and expensive Sleepmaker mattress, which I was very disappointed in. The combined product information, price and good reviews for the Hesseng sounded like what I was after; a firm and natural mattress without all the nasty chemicals. I feel so supported by this… Read more

mattress, it's lovely. I was concerned that my husband, as a side sleeper, would find it too hard, but this has not proved to be the case. Like a previous review, both of us experienced discomfort in adjusting to the new firmness for a couple of weeks. However, we have now had the mattress for a month and I can honestly say that we are both very happy with it and all discomfort has gone. I actually look forward to going to bed now. My husband does not need the topper either. A great mattress at a good price, only time will tell how long this will last. I would definitely recommend it for someone looking a for a firm mattress and without being ripped off.

Simply good quality at a good price – Simply excellent quality at a good price. After my last terrible experince spending too much money on a horrendous Harvey Norman, King Beard, I cant recomend this highly enough. Agree with comments below. No smell and super coooomfotable.  Show details

Love it – After reading others' reviews here, I decided to get the firm Hesseng and also buy the Tromsdalen mattress pad in case the Hesseng was too firm. Upon delivery, I tried out the Hesseng without the mattress pad for a week. For the first few nights, I was a little achey after waking. Retrospectively, I think my spine was readjusting, having been used… Read more

to a seriously sagging mattress that was well beyond its use-by-date. After those first few nights, I just loved climbing into bed on that Hesseng mattress. I ended up returning the Tromsdalen mattress pad unused - didn't need it. The other thing I LOVED about the Hesseng was that because it's all natural fibres, it doesn't have the toxic leach of most new mattresses. It didn't need any airing time, no smell at all. The only downsides I can see are that a) it's super heavy (52kg) which will make turning it a chore and even makes fitting sheets on it a little tricky and b) its one-sided so you can't flip it. Hopefully that doesn't have wear implications. Overall though, I'm very happy, sleeping extremely comfortably and highly recommend it.

The worst mattress ever! – I wouldn't recommend this mattress to anyone. My boyfriend and I bought it last year, and ever since I have suffered from a terrible back ache. (I have never had back problems and always had hard mattresses previously) It is the hardest mattress money can buy and even with a topper it doesn't make the slightest difference. The biggest waste of money.. : (

A great mattress – After 2 years of constantly reading mattress reviews, we bit the bullet and decided to go with the Ikea Hesseng. We figured that as it was half the cost of other brands like a similarly sized Sealy, if we didn't like it at least we weren't as much out of pocket. We bought the firm king sized mattress with the extra mattress topper and like… Read more

another reviewer, we found it to be very firm at first but loved it anyway because we could move without disturbing each other. We have now had it for almost 2 months and have to say that I would buy another one in a heartbeat. It is still firm but does not cause any back or side pain, the topper can be easily swapped around, unlike other brands where they are attached and I like the fact that the materials are predominantly natural ones.

Avoid the medium/firm Hesseng! – First we bought the firm Hesseng which was a bit too firm, and when you first lie on it I can guarantee it will be the firmest mattress you have ever slept on. In hindsight I wish we had persevered with it but after a week we decided that it was ridiculously hard and we swapped it for the Hesseng medium/firm, which was a very, very, VERY bad… Read more

idea. The Hesseng medium/firm is not supportive whatsoever, it feels like an air bed with 1/3 of the air let out, moving around in the bed throws you off balance, the mattress digs into your back and hips. You can only swap mattresses once at IKEA so we are stuck with a £600 mattress that we can't sleep on. Avoid at all costs.

Affordable and comfortable (Hesseng firm plus Tromsdalen topper) – My husband and I bought the Hesseng (firm) a few months ago, after much research and shopping around. We wanted a reasonably firm mattress with sufficient padding, but preferred to avoid memory foam due to concerns about toxicity. The Hesseng is advertised as being comprised of natural materials. Before buying this mattress, I was only getting… Read more

a few hours sleep each night due to lower back pain. My sleep improved significantly after buying the Hesseng, but I found it was still a bit too firm. We did not want to swap the firm version for the medium firm, however, as we found the latter to be far less supportive. So, we ended up buying the Tromsdalen mattress pad to go on top. Fortunately, this product does not have memory foam either. Instead, it has a 4cm thick layer of natural latex. I'm also glad that the mattress pad is replaceable, since I've read a lot of complaints about mattresses which have the plush layer attached. Purchasers often complain that the top layer sinks and gets distorted and uncomfortable.

In any event, the mattress pad was a good solution for us, as it provided enough cushioning to adequately support our lower backs. Having said this, it's worth noting that my husband and I are both (predominantly) back sleepers and I don't think this particular mattress and topper combination would be soft enough for a side sleeper. Also, the topper did make the bed feel much warmer, but we were able to work around that by keeping the winter doona on but wearing summer PJs to bed.

To be honest, we were a bit reluctant to buy an IKEA mattress, but they said that if we scanned our IKEA Family card we would have 12 months to return the product if we didn't 'love' it. So far so good. We don't have any plans to return it yet.

Doesn't smell! hooray – We originally got the Hyllestad from Ikea and it smelt awful, chemicals etc due to the memory foam (I found out after some research) after 3 weeks with the window open night and day the smell still wasn't gone. Took it back and swapped it for the Hessing (ok so we spent another 300) boy it is worth it not to have the awful smell! It smells a tiny… Read more

bit but more like a fabric smell, or like hay, it's cleaner and not chemical. Soo much happier now...

After 6 months of searching – Hesseng medium firm was the one we looking for 6 months.Firm but soft at the same time,it keeps stable your body temperature.I can t feel my wife movements during the night because of the self springs.Latex keeps the body relaxing.Best price for value.thanks ikea!!!!

Firm Mattress at reasonable price – Our last Mattress although twice the price only lasted 3 years before the pocket springs started to sag and give us backache, the Hesseng we selected was the firm style and matched up with a suitable mattress 'topper' is excellent, be aware that it is a good idea to 'AIR' it out before use due to the strong smell due to storage and shipping, 25year guarantee is a real bonus too!

Really comfortable, excellent value – We moved to Sydney from the UK where we had a dunlopillo latex mattress for 15 years which was/is fantastic. After trying several beds in Sydney, we bought Hesseng (firm). We have had it for 6 months, and it has given us perfect sleep every night. It is very comfortable and we didn't need the mattress topper. We use a slatted wooden bed base. Highly recommended.

Firm and Comfortable Mattress – We needed a new mattress and wanted something firm and comfortable. After searching around we decided on Ikea's Hesseng Firm Mattress. We've had it for over a month now and are very happy. My husband no longer complains his back is sore.Everyone is different but if you like a firm mattress then I can recommend this one. The Hesseng is good value… Read more

for the price [and Ikea has just reduced it even further] and it's a quality mattress. Nothing. It's on the heavy side but that would only be of concern if you were moving it around a lot which we aren't.
