IKEA VALEVAG is a hybrid mattress that’s made in Mexico and sold by IKEA. Affordably priced at $449 for a queen size, it features zoned support and has individually wrapped pocket coils.
The mattress comes with a 10-year warranty. You can try IKEA VALEVAG at home with a 90-night sleep trial, which is shorter than the industry-average 100-night trial. However, it’s important to note that IKEA’s return policy allows only a one-time exchange or store credit rather than a full refund. The mattress comes with a 10-year warranty.
While IKEA VALEVAG is budget-friendly, consider the Canadian-made Juno mattress instead. It comes with a longer 120-night sleep trial, a 15-year warranty, and a free bedding bundle.

IKEA VALEVAG is a 9.5″ hybrid mattress available in two firmness options: firm and medium-firm. For this review, we tested the medium-firm option. While it provides excellent edge support and very good motion isolation, VALEVAG has limited cooling features and very low bounce, which is unusual for a hybrid mattress.
The mattress includes fabric handles to assist with moving it, and its cover is made from 100% recycled polyester and polypropylene. Although there’s a zipper, the cover cannot be removed or machine-washed, so any stains or spills will need to be spot-cleaned.
In comparison, competing budget mattress Juno comes with a longer 120-night sleep trial and a 15-year warranty. It also provides more cooling features and comes with a free bedding bundle.

Looking for a budget mattress in a full range of standard sizes? Meet Juno.
IKEA ships mattresses across most of Canada via FedEx. Depending on your location, delivery fees start at $39 for contactless doorstep delivery or $59 for in-home delivery. You can also pick it up from your local IKEA store yourself. The mattress is wrapped in plastic, rolled up, and secured with two straps.
VALEVAG comes with a 90-night sleep trial, which is shorter than the 100-night trial offered by many competitors. IKEA’s policy only allows a one-time exchange or a store credit refund rather than cash back. If you exchange for a more expensive mattress, you’ll also need to cover the difference.
Returning the mattress doesn’t require re-rolling, but IKEA asks you to protect it during transit using a cover, plastic, or an IKEA mattress bag (available at the delivery counter). Return pick-up service may incur a fee and is done only if the mattress is clean and undamaged.
VALEVAG is backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s limited warranty. While this is standard for the industry, competing brands like Juno offer a 15-year warranty, a longer 120-night sleep trial, and the option of a full refund with free return pickup.

Each mattress was evaluated using the same strict mattress testing methodology to protect the overall integrity of the results. Foam and hybrid mattress test results are scored on separate scales to ensure fair contextual performance representation as much as possible.

Mattress testing conducted outside of this professional standard poses a greater risk of validity errors or reviewer bias.

It’s important to consider a company’s online reputation as part of your buying decision. IKEA is rated “C-” (unaccredited) on Better Business Bureau with a customer review rating of 1.24/5 stars. IKEA is also rated “Bad” on Trustpilot based on over 25,000 reviews and a rating of 1.4/5 stars.
IKEA VALEVAG is an affordable hybrid mattress with excellent edge support and very good motion isolation. That said, the mattress has a shorter-than-average sleep trial and you won’t get a full refund if you return the mattress, only store credit. We recommend Juno instead.
Juno is competitively priced at just $499 for a queen size. It has a 120-night sleep trial, a 15-year warranty, and the option of free return pickup with a full refund. Your purchase also comes with a free bedding bundle that includes a sheet set, pillow(s), and a mattress protector.
IKEA mattresses are a popular choice for mattress shoppers on a budget. However, IKEA also offers a shorter-than-average sleep trial and doesn’t provide full refunds for returned mattresses—only store credit. You might want to consider Juno, which is similarly priced and comes with a 120-night sleep trial, the option of free return pickup with a full refund, a 15-year warranty, and a free bedding bundle.
None of the mattresses currently listed on IKEA’s Canadian website list fiberglass in their materials. However, the IKEA Åmsosen mattress (not available in Canada) uses fiberglass in its inner mattress cover.

No. IKEA offers varying size ranges for its mattresses, but it doesn’t currently offer any of its mattresses in twin XL size. If you’re looking for a twin XL budget mattress, Juno is accessibly priced at just $449 for a twin XL.
Yes. IKEA mattresses are covered by a 10-year limited warranty that covers defects in manufacturing. This warranty doesn’t cover normal wear and tear, or any accidental damage that an IKEA mattress may receive.
IKEA mattresses come in many of the same sizes as other mattresses sold in Canada. However, IKEA doesn’t sell mattresses in twin XL and California king sizes. In comparison, competitor Juno comes in a full range of mattress sizes, including twin XL and California king. Juno is also available in RV mattress sizes.
IKEA allows you to return a mattress within 90 days of purchase for an exchange or a refund. You will be refunded with an IKEA refund card. This card is valid at any IKEA store, as well as IKEA.com, and never expires. However, if you choose to exchange your mattress for a more expensive option, you’ll need to pay the difference.
IKEA VALEVAG doesn’t have a machine-washable mattress cover. IKEA recommends that you spot-clean any stains using upholstery shampoo.
That depends on the mattress. IKEA VALEVAG, like most other modern hybrid mattresses, was not designed to be flipped. The mattress won’t work as intended if it’s upside down.
If you’re shopping for a quality mattress on a budget, we recommend Juno. It comes with a 120-night sleep trial, the option of free return pickup with a full refund, and a 15-year warranty. Your purchase also comes with a free bedding bundle that includes a sheet set, pillow(s), and a mattress protector. All of these features come at a price of just $499 for a queen size.
