Holmsbu Mattress Review

The Holmsbu mattress from Ikea is a medium-firm 17-inch, pillow-top mattress that comes with an extra protective cover and a 10-year limited warranty.

Great for all types of sleepers (back, stomach and side). The gel capsules in the memory foam are supposed to maintain a cool sleep environment (although that is not always the case).

Too expensive for what you end up getting. Customers complain about durability and sagging over a short period.

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.

User 1: "I wouldn't recommend this mattress to anyone. My boyfriend and I bought it last year, and ever since I have suffered from a terrible back ache. (I have never had back problems and always had hard mattresses previously) It is the hardest mattress money can buy and even with a topper it doesn't make the slightest difference. The biggest waste of money.. : ("

User 2: "It was a good mattress for one year and then the whole side collapsed. The sleeper weighs 48 kilos so it was not a weight issue. I am hoping IKEA is faithful to the guarantee. I will update you as it unfolds."

The holmsbu mattress is a medium comfort level (about a 5-6 on a 1-10 firmness scale).

Ideal for all sleep positions, including back, stomach and side sleepers. You'll have a balance of cushioning firmness (for back/stomach sleepers) and contouring support (if you're a primary side sleeper).

The top style does a good job maintaining a flat and relatively even sleep surface, too.

The holmsbu mattress is acceptable for side sleeping.

Ensure to pick their plushest offering. If you're not sure which model it is, chat or call with them.

Anticipate sufficient support for delicate pressure spots (specifically your neck, low back, shoulders, hips). Top foams relieves tension and pressure throughout the body decent.

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.

The holmsbu mattress is fine for back and stomach sleeping.

Make certain to choose their luxury firm (6.5/10), firm (7/10) or very firm (8/10) option. If you're not sure which model it is, reach out to them.

Bank on decent support for spine and cervical positioning (specifically your lower back). Somewhat firm foams on top keep your back straight marginally alright.

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.

The holmsbu mattress has several layers worth exploring:

• Bottom Layer: pocketed coils for sturdy support.
• Transition Layer: foam for padded pressure relief.
• Top Layer: gel foam for additional comfort & overall support along the top layer.
• Top Design: pillow-top which does a fine job creating a larger sleep surface (good for couples).
• Cover: extra protective cover which is fairly standard.
• Bed in a Box: no information available.
• Weight: 167 lbs (queen size).

The holmsbu mattress height is 17".

• Fairly good edge support because of its pocketed coil design.
• Saatva Classic is a spectacular 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).

Expect fairly good motion transfer because of its pocketed coil design.

You or your partner possibly will sense a little motion transfer, but odds-on it won't unsettle you (unless you're a light sleeper).

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.

• only toppers and cores can be exchanged for firmness and the shipping charges are the only charges involved. The exchange must be completed within 60 days.

Find a brand with an exchange policy that doesn't force you to pay high fees for making an honest mistake.

• has a 10-year limited warranty.

Look for warranties that have at least a 15-year period with no unreasonable limitations or transporation fees.

The price of the holmsbu mattress queen size is $1199.
