Moving into a new place is exciting, but it can also be exhausting. After unearthing your pots from peanut-packed boxes, meeting new neighbors, and figuring out how your new shower works, you’ll be ready to catch some serious z’s, so having a comfortable place to lay your head at night should be a top priority. A good mattress is crucial for restoring your body and mind, reducing stress, supporting your natural spine alignment, relieving pressure points to reduce pain, and promoting blood circulation.
At IKEA, you can find a wide selection of spring, foam, and hybrid mattresses — all with a 10-year limited warranty — with plenty of options for firmness, size, and budget. After all, a good night’s sleep shouldn’t come at a premium.

Affordable mattress solutions
Between paying for a truck rental, new furniture, packing materials, and other (often unexpected) costs, moving can be expensive — but a comfortable bed doesn’t have to be. IKEA offers a wide selection of affordable mattresses, including options under $200, so you can get a restorative night’s sleep without breaking the bank. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly upgrade for your current mattress rather than a new one, IKEA can assist with that too. IKEA offers a variety of mattress toppers that can extend the life of your aging mattress and improve sleep comfort.
Variety to suit every sleeper
Many factors influence the mattress type and firmness you’ll find comfortable, including your preferred sleeping posture, weight, height, age, any recurring pain, allergies, and whether you sleep alone or with someone else. What’s right for you may not be the best mattress solution for someone else. Fortunately, IKEA offers a wide selection of mattresses to suit different needs and budgets, including foam, memory foam, pocket spring, and hybrid mattresses, so you can get a restful night’s sleep without breaking the bank. If you’re not sure which mattress is right for your body weight and sleeping style, the free Comfort Guide quiz will help you choose the best one.
An easy and convenient shopping experience in-store or online
Time is especially valuable when you’re moving to a new home, as it’s easily sucked up by packing and unpacking, waiting for deliveries and handymen, cleaning, pesky admin, and much more. So finding time to travel to your nearest IKEA big-box store isn’t always possible — even if the Swedish meatballs are calling your name. But don’t fret; shopping for an IKEA mattress is as easy and convenient online as it is in-store. Each mattress listing provides clear information on firmness, type, measurements (including thickness), materials, and special features, such as comfort zone layers, so you know exactly what you’re getting. But the proof is in the pudding, and you may not know if your mattress is the right fit until you sleep on it. That’s why IKEA lets you try any mattress for 90 days, and if you’re not sleeping soundly, you can trade it in for a new one.
Frequently asked questions
Which mattress firmness should I choose?
A good mattress balances spinal alignment support — keeping the spine in its natural curve regardless of sleeping posture — with pressure-point relief, distributing body weight evenly to reduce aches, pains, and stiffness. However, the firmness that’s most comfortable for you may cause aches and pains for someone else. That’s because the right firmness depends on your individual sleeping posture and body weight, as both affect how much cushioning and support your body needs while you sleep. Fortunately, the Comfort Guide tool from IKEA can help you find the right mattress and firmness level; simply answer a handful of quick questions about your sleep habits and body type, and IKEA will suggest some options.
What's the difference between foam, spring, and hybrid mattresses?
IKEA offers three main mattress types: spring (or innerspring), foam/memory foam, and hybrid. Spring mattresses use coils to distribute your weight, providing optimal body support while staying cooler and drier than foam mattresses. Foam and memory foam mattresses are soft and resilient but don’t feature coils. These mattresses distribute your body weight more evenly, promoting better blood circulation. If you can’t choose between spring and foam, a hybrid is a great compromise. These mattresses offer sturdiness and pressure relief by combining innerspring core support with foam comfort. If you’re on a budget, keep in mind that pocket spring or standard foam mattresses are typically the most affordable, while hybrid mattresses tend to cost more.
Which mattress size should I get?
In the U.S., six standard mattress sizes are available: Twin, Twin XL, Full/Double, Queen (the most popular size), King, and California King. Which mattress size you should get largely depends on whether you already have a bed frame the mattress needs to fit. If you already have a bed frame, ensure you buy a mattress that fits it. If you’re unsure about which size mattress you need, measure your bed frame’s mattress space and compare it to the standard mattress sizes below:
- Twin: 38” x 75”
- Twin XL: 38” x 80”
- Full/Double: 54” x 74”
- Queen: 60” x 80”
- King: 76” x 80”
However, if you’re buying a new bed frame and mattress, make sure it will fit in your bedroom without making the space look cramped. With Kreativ, the home design tool from IKEA, you can plan and visualize your room and see how IKEA furniture looks in the space before you buy it. Select your bedroom shape and dimensions to replicate the space in the visualizer, and then place the bed frame you’re considering into your room layout to see how it might look in real life. You can even test different sizes to see which you prefer.
