Myself

I've owned two of these mattresses and unfortunately, Ikea discontinued them infavor of other lesser quality styles. It's a great mattress for many reasons and I wish it'd be brought back. Not only is it incredibly afforable, it's also insanely comfortable. And the outer shell can be zipped on and off for easy cleaning, which is the main reason I need a new one. I've washed the shell so many times that the shell's fabric density is simply starting to break down. The latex is still as good.

Favorite mattress I've ever owned.

Excellent value for the money -- a great deal

Don't know or not sure

Queen

Don't know

Super comfy, molds to you but not too much, definitely on the firm side, no aching hips like I experience with mattresses with more give.

Still going strong after a decade

Much too hard

firm

Minimal softness in the top layers of the mattress.

4 years

Partial lifespan

Memory Foam

IKEA Matrand

latex

Foam produced from natural and/or synthetic rubber.  Praised for responsiveness, well-balanced support, and allergen resistance.

innerspring

Mattress containing any kind of coil springs.  Sometimes thought of as a 'standard' mattress.  Praised for responsiveness and well-established support capability.

Occasional pressure point soreness or loss of circulation

Innerspring / Traditional

Sleep slightly less soundly or consistently since owning this mattress.

Slightly worse

Has held up well as a solid surface to sleep on daily over several years, but still remains too firm for a lightweight side sleeper. Not much if any squishy memory foam feel to it since it barely compresses under my weight. Minimal bounce, motion transfer, or conforming. Doesn't sleep particularly hot for a foam bed.

Tough bed

Less than a year

Performs and feels about the same as when it was new

Sleep much less soundly or consistently since owning this mattress.

Much worse

Always have back aches or stiffness related to this mattress

Very Poor

I like a firm mattress, but this mattress takes firm to a whole new level. I have a spinal injury and I was hoping that I could use this mattress until, hopefully, a settlement comes in or I can start working again and purchase a good mattress. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to withstand it. It might be livable with a topper, but IKEA toppers are another few hundred dollars and that pushes the overall price too far up. If I could afford the toppers, I would just go buy a decent mattress. 
I like that it is a less toxic form of foam, but not that the latex topper is 15% synthetic, not 100% natural, which is a bit of greenwashing that I'd rather avoid.

Least toxic foam, yay! But, SO hard

Poor

15 years

Ikea Sultan Elsfjord

Sleep much more deeply and/or consistently since owning this mattress.

Much better

Sleep through the entire night without awakening.  Comforting. Always glad to come home after a vacation to sleep on my latex.  Has a thick zippered protective sack and I added a cotton matter protector on top, also.  Had some warm nights but tossed covers back.  Never as hot as memory foam.  No pressure point problems.  I sleep side and stomach only.

Ikea HJELLESTAD

pocket-coils

Spring coils that are individually wrapped in separate fabric pockets.  Praised for motion isolation, conforming ability, and lack of sound.

Rarely have back aches or stiffness related to this mattress

Myself + my partner

This is an amazing matress! I was so surprised Ikea had something this great and with a 89 day trial. Unfortunately it only comes in medium firm. 
It's hard to stay awake in this bed and it is amazing after a long day to feel the release of all pressure in body! 
Definitely recommend!

Love this bed!!

Slightly too hard

Ikea HAUGSVÄR

I have had this mattress for a full week and I have yet to even nod off on it.  It's completely uncomfortable and I have yet to get a wink of sleep on it in an entire week.  Worst mattress I have ever purchased, it's going back today, God help me I hope they give me a merchandise credit, never again will I make the mistake of buying an IKEA mattress.  Boo!

No sleep, ever

How well it supports your back throughout the night, so you wake up free of back pain.

surface-integrity

How well it resists body impressions and/or lumpiness.

Often have back aches or stiffness related to this mattress

I'm giving it four stars because the price was so reasonable that two to three years of excellence is probably still a good deal. This was a really nice bed originally. We bought it in June of 2013. By some time in 2017 it was toast. Sides pooched out, completely shot. Hump in the middle of the bed between us. I'd upload pictures if I could. Anyway, we replaced it with something much more expensive. I hope we get what we paid for and the bed lasts longer than three or four years!

short life span

Much too soft

durability

How well its comfort and support holds up over a normal lifespan (eg, 8-10 years).

Any effect the mattress has on your body temperature while sleeping.

Frequent pressure point soreness or loss of circulation

center-support

Support provided in the center part of the mattress (eg, in between two sleeping partners).

I got this mattress about 2 years ago. When I first got it it was great, now it's so crappy, I can feel the springs, and sometimes I hear like stuff is breaking inside. The mattress feels so lumpy now (when I first got it it had some firmness to it), now the surface is uneven. My husband and I are both thin people and I have been experiencing more and more back pain and difficulty sleeping. I also have to say it does not help regulate your body temperate, it gets hot and stays hot. It's like it will absorb heat and retain it which makes it difficult to sleep at times, even though we have the AC blasting. It feels like we are sleeping on a stove. I'm throwing it away and getting a new one from a different place. I have asked everybody I know and they tell me good mattresses last at least 5 years. I have only had this one for barely 2 years.

Mattress does not last

Ikea Sultan Hurva Extra Firm

long-term-support

How well the mattress retains its original back and spinal support over time.

It's bouncy, yet it keeps its shape. I sit on my bed a lot as I have been bedridden n I was stunned to see no depression in the bed. Not like the traditional mattresses that easily sagged after a year of 8 hours of sleep a night, while not bedridden.
