Ikea Sultan Mattress Review

The Ikea "Sultan" mattress has been discontinued. It was replaced by the Ikea "Matrand" mattress, which comes in a box with a washable cover and a standard 10-year warranty.

The cover is quite soft. It's very affordable if you choose to purchase in-person (delivery is more expensive).

This mattress sags fast, becomes lumpy within a year, and can become quite uncomfortable. The mattress isn't as firm as claimed.

User 1: "I bought this mattress because it felt firm yet supple. And it was that way for about a year. But now it stays mushy in the middle and uncomfortably uneven overall and not very good for one's back. As a previous poster noted, the price was not too expensive, but I will not buy another Ikea mattress again."

The ikea sultan mattress has several firmnesses to pick from depending on which model you select.

If you're a side sleeper, pick any firmness except firm and very firm. Isn't firm enough to create support and contouring issues (for most people).

If you're a back and/or stomach sleeper, choose a (a) medium firm (5-6), (b) firm (7-8), or (c) very firm (8-9) comfort level. It's important to maintain correct spine alignment when you sleep. Otherwise you'll wake up with serious pain and long-term back/cervical issues.

The ikea sultan mattress is acceptable for side sleeping.

Ensure to select 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: If you sleep on your side, make sure you support your shoulders, hips, and torso equally. Otherwise, you'll suffer long-term nerve and pain problems.

The ikea sultan mattress is solid 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 reasonable support for spinal and cervical positioning (specifically your lower back). Somewhat firm foams on top keep your back straight reasonably 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.

The ikea sultan mattress 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: pillow-top and tight-top which does a fine job creating a larger sleep surface (good for couples).
• Cover: polyester which is fairly standard.
• Bed in a Box: no information available.
• Weight: unknown weight (queen size).

The ikea sultan mattress height is 7-13".

• Adequate edge support because of its pocketed coil base.
• Saatva Classic is an amazing alternative if you want awesome 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 adequate motion transfer because of its pocketed coil base.

You or your partner may perhaps feel a small amount of motion transfer, but likely won't wake you (unless you're a light sleeper).

NOTE: Motion transfer measures how much movement shifts from one side bed side to another. If you sleep with a partner who tosses and turns during the night, get a mattress that offers effective motion isolation.

Less motion transfer = deeper sleep = 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).

• IKEA accepts exchanges within 90 days from delivery, only if the mattress is not dirty, marked, or damaged.

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

• has a 25-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 ikea sultan mattress queen size is $159-$899.
