Key Takeaways

Summary

The Sultan Holmsta is a tight-top, spring-core, firm Ikea mattress that is now discontinued.

Solid for back and stomach sleepers (due to its firmer than average top layer).

The product is discontinued and no longer available in store or online. There are much better alternatives available.

Saatva Classic is our #1 alternative. They make a luxury, ultra-comfortable, innerspring hybrid built to last. Dedicated 24/7 customer service (best in the industry) + generous policies.

Pros

  • Ideal if you're primarily a back and stomach sleeper
  • Decent height (indicates a sturdy mattress)

Cons

  • Much better value-oriented alternatives.
  • Ambiguous longevity
  • Heavy mattress (difficult to move and transport)
  • Some motion transfer

Real Reviews For Sultan Holmsta

There are no online reviews, which is typically a red flag.

Comfort, Feel & Firmness For Sultan Holmsta

The sultan holmsta is a firm (roughly a 7-8 on a 1-10 firmness scale).

A firmer model like this is built for back and stomach sleepers that likely have back or spine issues and need correct spinal and cervical alignment (which is critical for long-term health).

Stay away if you sleep on your side. You won't get the contoured support your pressure points need if you're laying on a flat and even surface with very little 'give'.

The top style does a good job maintaining a flat and even sleep surface to maintain a firmer feel.

Side Sleeping On Sultan Holmsta

The sultan holmsta is adverse for side sleeping.

Make certain to select their softest offering. If you're not sure which model it is, reach out to them.

Bank on sufficient support for touchy pain areas (specifically your hips, low back, shoulders, neck). The top layer of foams relieves tension and pressure throughout the body fair.

NOTE: Be sure that your shoulders, hips, and torso all receive equal support if you sleep on your side. This reduces the possibility of chronic pain from concentrated pressure.

Back & Stomach Sleeping On Sultan Holmsta

The sultan holmsta is perfect for stomach and back sleeping.

Make sure to pick their luxury firm (6.5/10), firm (7/10) or very firm (8/10) option. If you're not sure which model it is, call or chat with them.

Expect decent support for spine and cervical positioning (specifically your lumbar). Firmer top foam layer keep your back straight fantastically well.

NOTE: Focus on finding a mattress that won't sink too far into your hips when sleeping on your back & stomach. It'll throw your spine out of alignment.

Construction & Design For Sultan Holmsta

The sultan holmsta has several layers worth exploring:

• Bottom Layer: pocketed coils for sturdy support.
• Transition Layer: foam for padded pressure relief.
• Top Layer: foam for additional comfort & overall support along the top layer.
• Top Design: tight-top which does a fine job creating a larger sleep surface (good for couples).
• Cover: there is no cover information available which is fairly standard.
• Bed in a Box: no information available.
• Weight: unknown weight (queen size).

Height For Sultan Holmsta

The sultan holmsta height is 12.5".

Edge Support For Sultan Holmsta

• Decent edge support because of its coil base.
Saatva Classic is an astounding alternative if you want fabulous edge support.

Note: If a mattress uses low-quality materials, it might feel supportive at first, but break down FAST.

Inadequate edge support means less sleep surface (which is not desirable, especially if you sleep with a partner).

Motion Isolation For Sultan Holmsta

Bank on decent movement transfer because it has a coil base.

You or your partner may well perceive a little bit of movement transfer, but odds-on it won't startle you (especially if you or your partner are heavy sleepers).

NOTE: Motion transfer is how much movement transfers from one side of the bed to another. Sleep on a mattress that offers effective motion isolation if your partner tosses and turns.

A better night's sleep leads to a happier life.

There are several noteworthy considerations with the Ikea return policy:

• Ikea has no return policy. They force you to sleep on it for 90-days. If you don't like it, you're only allowed to exchange (with additional fees).

Exchange Policy For Sultan Holmsta
