IKEA - HAUGESUND Spring mattress

Honestly, I’ve bought firm IKEA mattresses and then put a 3+ inch memory foam topper on it and it’s fantastic. Definitely get a firm spring or hybrid mattress. In my opinion, the firm alone is too firm, but the topper gives it the perfect give and the mattress doesn’t sag in the middle. You can also get the combo for <$600 easily. Wouldn’t recommend the medium firm though - my bf got this version of my same mattress and it started sinking pretty fast so we ended up exchanging it for my original firm model.

I had the haugasund

Ikea Haugesund replacement. After buying comfortable mattresses and getting low back pain I have come to the conclusion that my husband’s twin Ikea Haugesund Firm with a 3” SOL soft topper to be what minimizes my back pain. The Haugesund is a pocket spring with a layer of foam on top and retailed for $249 for a twin. Unfortunately Ikea discontinued it and the word is the new Ikea models are a poor replacement. Ive been trolling FB marketplace for a good used firm Haugesund and picked up a Queen for $100. Its what we are using now with the latex topper sitting on a King frame. If Ikea could make a great basic mattress for cheap what are my options for something similar not from Ikea. Granted I don’t expect to find a replacement for $249 anymore.

I got one from ikea. It’s super firm.

Haugesund. It’s a hybrid I think, but not hot and very firm.

Booo. I’m sure they have something similar. Can’t beat it for the price.

We have a king size Haugesund mattress from Ikea. It’s a hybrid foam/spring mattress. We chose the firmer option. We got it in 2018, and it’s starting to show the earliest signs of sagging. It’s not at a point yet where it’s uncomfortable. I feel like we could rotate it and get another few years from it. We’ve never rotated it. They say a mattress lasts 7-10 years, so it seems like Ikea mattress lifespans are on par.

I got the same haugesund mattress around the same time, loved it, but ended up leaving it behind in my travels. Last year, I bought the current equivalent from ikea, and one year later it has significant sagging. Either IKEA mattress quality has dropped off majorly in the past few years or the models are hit and miss.

i love my cheapest possible ikea mattress

i think it’s haugesund probably medium firm

Right. but that's the issue when buying a high priced mattress with no ability to return it easilly without a big charge. How the heck can you know if its a good fit until you try it out? It can be good quality, and You can get advice on the fit ,but what if its wrong for you? Because you typically pay 10-20% restocking to return f an expensive mattress plus return delivery fee and for a 5k mattress that wasnt right you just dropped $600 to sleep on it for a month - you paid the same as a cheap mattress and got nothing. I personally have back pain and had big issues finding a mattress that did not cause me pain when sleeping. a 1k latex mattress lasted a couple years, but became increasingly terrible for me, though people say its good for back pain. Through trial and error with swapping inexpensive components I finally found something that worked for me great! turned out the base made a big difference Now I have a medium-firm spring mattress from ikea with 2 inch of temperpedic serenity memory foam "pillowtop" topper plus the great secret ingredient which was the LÖNSET ikea bed base - it has zoned curved "bouncy" slats which you can individually adjust to make more firm or soft. This was the game-changer for me. it gave support to side-sleeping for my wide hips, but also has the right amount of give there to reduce pressure points. the whole thing including slats for king size was about $800. I still get a little shoulder pain sometimes, so I'd love to find something even better but after searching for two years to find anything decent I'm taking a break from searching. In my mind the future of mattresses would be either to have hotel accomodation where people could try out different beds for a few nights, OR to make beds with component layers that could be unzipped and swapped back to manufacturer until the person found the right combo. This goes especially for pillowtops that most people love and seem to collapse first even in more expensive beds, rendering the rest of the bed unusable..

Seconded! Have the same for about 5 years too and it's still very comfortable.

IKEA pocket Spring mattresses are the best. I've been sleeping on one for the guts of 5 years now (technically my second one, but that was because the first one was unsalvageable after a house fire). They're excellent, and half the price of a similar mattress from anywhere else.
