Ikea Hovag Medium Firm

I have bought 3. They are the perfect mattress to team up with the Tussoy Mattress pad, giving perfect support and comfort. I have been running a Bed and Breakfast now for 4 and a half years (1438 guests) and have these in the guest rooms as well as for my own bed. The MEDIUM is the perfect firmness when teamed up with the Tussoy pad. Adding the pad means making the bed is easy as you only have to tuck the bedding under the pad not the bigger mattress. Many of my guest have commented on the comfort of the bed combination and ask what mattress ...

Started sagging within months, got rid after 2 years, caused me SO much back/hip/shoulder/neck pain. Ikea refunded me ater inspecting it. I now have a different mattress and sleeping pain free again DONT BUY IT

We bought this mattress with a Tussoy mattress pad for our spare room and have opted to sleep in there ourselves!
We have slept well and actually woken up in the morning without the aches and pains we normally have (even despite changing our own bed and mattress a couple of time - and if we’ve been away).
All our visitors have commented on how comfortable it is, and my daughter and son in law now opt to sleep in the spare room when they visit, rather than her old room.
Please bring back the medium/firm mattress ikea - we want to buy more!

This mattress is very comfortable and supportive, I had lower back pain for years and with this mattress I am waking up every morning with little to no back pain at all. There is a smell from when you lay out the mattress however I found the smell to have gone in about 3 days. At this point I feel that the mattress is durable and can last me some years even with a little investment every year changing the mattress once every year does not equate to how much major retailers market similar mattresses at beyond prices. I highly recommend this mattress give it a try !

We purchased this mattress and a Tussoy mattress pad to go with it as our old mattress had hollows on each side and we didnt have a great budget. On unpacking it, it had a strong chemical smell which we were warned about by the sales person prior to purchase. This smell went away after about 3 weeks. My husband and I are both between 75 - 85kg and are totally happy with the mattress and topper. I suffer from chronic back pain and tend to wake several times a night in pain and wake with sore hips each morning. Since we started sleeping on this m...

I have had this mattress for 6 months now. When i first got it it smelled terrible. I felt sick and dizzy when laying on it at first despite airing it daily with no sheets or doona on it. I vacuumed it frequently and even hauled it outside twice to air all day but STILL the smell stayed.It finally left after about 3 months. The mattress itself is ok and was comfortable at first but it feels as if i am bottoming out a bit now. Mind you i am 5ft7 and 85kg so maybe i am too heavy for it? I am mostly a side sleeper so have put a fluffy topper on it...

My partner and I are polar opposites with our taste in mattresses so to find a middle ground we thought getting the hövåg would be a good idea as it's on the medium side. While he doesn't mind it, asoft bed lover like me can't handle it. Even with the extra purchase of the top layer to make it more comfortable, it is so firm I wake up with a sore back and headache every night. This is not helped by the fact in the two months of owning it, the mattress has dipped and is on it's way to completely sinking according to other reviews on either side where my partner and I sleep during the night. So disappointed to have this outcome after only 2 months. Offers no support at all. Not worth the back pain.

I previously had a memeory foam eve which cost well over £400. Disgusting mattress so sent back straight away. Got this Ikea Hovag mattress and I’ve been impressed ever since. I love how the mattress is cheap and also really durable. I feel like it will last a long time as long as I turn it.

This mattress made me REALLY SICK for over 2 months without me knowing! I thought it was mould in my room the whole time, and even had the council over.
I believe the chemicals they use to spray it (they do this as an anti flammable effect) were making me very sick.
I woke up with bad headaches, earaches and sinus tension for 2 months and had to take time off work and everything. Literally paid $380 NZD just to get ill for months! The smell doesn't go away either. Don't get this mattress. I am now terrified of anything from IKEA. It is truly terrifying that they can sell these products to the public.
all round a horrible experience.

Bought this 2wks ago for my 13yo. She says it's the best mattress ever.
It comes rolled up in plastic and settles into shape within 48hrs.
Nice and thick with a lightweight pillow top. I added an extra mattress topper to make it more lush but it's not a necessity.
This is a good starter mattress. I'm not expecting huge things from it... if it lasts a long time that's great but if it fails after a few years, then you get what you pay for and in a market where double mattresses generally start at $700, I only paid $349.

We purchased it a few months ago and not really satisfied with it. We thought that it would be firm enough (we ordered medium firmness), but it turned out to be too soft for us. Overall, it is just okay and not that comfortable.

Hi Ikea person
the mattress seems to be comfortable enough.
I have 2 different Aldi mattress toppers on it, and the smell
is improving each day. It's a little too late to put the "stink"
warning in the instructions, and it's going to be inconvenient
returning it to the store now that it is a double bed mattress unrolled.
If Ikea is going to sell "stinky" mattresses, they should come
with a pre-purchase warning, rather than people taking them home
and stinking out their bedding and homes. In my case I was sleeping
on a reasonable folding bed at my son's house in Yarraville, ...

Bought a king size for hubby and me 5 years ago,very comfy and lovely sleep quality.Decided to get my teenage son a new double bed frame and mattress but the change in quality of the mattress is shocking.Very firm and uncomfortable even though the medium firm was purchased and after 2 years the springs have exploded through the bottom of the mattress and are over the floor,causing the mattress to sag and be unusable.Also the finish on the bed has started to blister and split,not to mention the bedding bought before xmas has faded and the stitch...

I bought one of these mattresses initially and drove it home in my small Corolla because like all of IKEA products, the Hovag is flat packed (i.e. rolled up and in a space bag). This made the easy of getting it home great. I was sceptical at first but we undid the packaging and were very impressed. The mattress is firm and comfortable. Easy to clean with a sponge for any messes or vacuum for dust.
I was so impressed with the quality that I went back and bought two more and replaced my other kids ones in only one car trip.

This is the worst mattress we've ever had. We bought it on special in the king size, two people, both weigh around 60kg. We've had it for around 3 months when our back started to hurt terribly and the mattress had started sacking. Ikea left us absolutely no option despite it being under warranty, they said we can't replace to a new Hovag as we bought the faulty one on special, so have to pay the difference or downgrade.
We had a second bedframe in queen size so got the queen size hovag as replacement to not having to pay the difference. The q...
