Terrible Chemical Smell – The mattress had a terrible chemical smell, smelt like you a Chinese chemical factory. I aired it out for 5 days and still smelled strong. I returned it to Ikea. This is terrible and can't be healthy. Show details

Perfect mattress box spring – onsist of lots of metal coils suspended in the other materials of the mattress. Offers a lot of bounce and good temperature control, supporting the body by pushing back a similar amount of pressure that the body applies Show details

If you like a firm mattress I can't recommend this highly enough – A firm Ikea matress is very firm. Having a mattress this firm is a excellent way to train yourself to sleep on your back which I was trying to do.

chronic back pain for 17 years at the time of buying it and I got the medium at the recommendation of my physio. My back went from about 5/7 bad days a week to 2/7 overnight.

OK for couple of years, will eventually need an upgrade – We bought a Hovag in 2015 and were happy with it - no ack issues and comfy sleep. However the structural integrity of the mattress wears out eventually and we had to upgrade this year. I would say it is not a great mattress but ok for the price they charge.  Show details
