IKEA Hovag Firm King

Very bad , don’t prefer it – Since I bought this mattress is very terrible for me.i got a neck and back problem with this mattress as i m a side sleeper and straight as well so feel very restless all night.my mattress is hard like a stone or wood , body float on it.i change alread one time my mattress with ikea but still i m facing the same issue .very unhappy and disappoint with the quality.

Unbelieveable Smell! Stay away - do not buy – We needed new bed and looked around for some time - settled on Ikea bed & mattress. All seemed ok. Delivered on time - but once the mattress was unrolled - the smell was unbelievable. Like musty, damp, sick smell. I wanted to return it immediately but my husband said to let it "air" and we put it on the balcony for a couple of days. We have now had it several days (bedroom window open at all times) and it still stinks. Whatever Ikea may say - it can't be healthy. The bed is ok and I think we will just dispose of the mattress, cut our losses, and buy another from a better shop (checking first where mattress is made). Apparently Ikea mattresses are made in China using various glues! I wish I had read more reviews before purchasing. Be warned - do not purchase a mattress from Ikea.

stay away!! – The mattress stinks so bad that it burns my throat and blocks the nose at night! The chemical they use is definitely not under health and safety regulations! even though Ikea says - [name removed] "1:56:The item is not faulty, The smell will be the fire retardant used to make it meet the safety regulations of the UK. Fire retardant is used so if a fire occurred the mattress would not go up in flames. When first bought all mattresses do have this small, Once aired out it should then go. If in a room the window would need to be open to allow it to air out."

I aired the mattress for 8 days now - the smell is still the same and after customer service comment seems it is absolutely normal to them so instead of exchange it - it will be returned!

Offgassing/New car smell is terrible – Had this for a week and it has made me miserable. We opened the mattress and the room was filled with strong chemical smell. We have a small flat and limited outdoor space, and in October airing outside not an option. Made me feel nauseous and headachy and me and my 15week old daughter slept in living room for 3days because I didn't want to expose her to the off gassing. Husband slept OK on it, but commented the smell was strong. Even with window wide open for several days it's still present and I have been waking up with mild headache, and even though my daughter sleeps in seperate cot by wide open door I still worry what she is being exposed to. On top of that, we got firm (husbands choice)instead of medium firm (my preference) and so I've been uncomfortable as well- I was planning on getting topper. We could return it with guarantee but the logistics of getting it back to Ikea mattress make me want to cry, and there is no guarantee a replacement would be less pungent. All in all a miserable experience...
