Product Details
IKEA ABROTTEN is an all-foam mattress that stands 8″ tall and has 3 layers. It has a medium-firm feel, which is suitable for most sleep styles. That said, some customer reviews state that this mattress was uncomfortable and started sagging soon after they started using it.
One of these foam layers is perforated to promote airflow. The mattress cover is also lined with polypropylene, a breathable material often used in athletic wear. These features provide a certain level of cooling.
The mattress performed well in third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us). It has excellent edge support due to the high-resilience foam used in its comfort layer, and above-average motion isolation. The level of bounce is average for a foam mattress.
If you’re looking for more features in a budget mattress at an even lower price point, consider Juno. Juno comes with excellent edge support and motion isolation, a free bedding bundle, and cooling features like gel-infused foam and an optional Cool+ cover made with cooling yarn. The mattress also comes with a 120-night sleep trial and a 15-year warranty.

Delivery, Sleep Trial & Returns
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. The mattress for this review was picked up in-store. It was rolled and wrapped in plastic, but not packaged in a box, making it difficult to handle. It also wasn’t tightly rolled, resulting in a bulkier shape that was taller and wider than the boxed mattresses we often order.
This mattress did not fit in a mid-sized vehicle that should have accommodated its size, despite folding down the back seats. You will need a truck or van for store pickup. We also recommend bringing a blanket or tarp to protect the mattress, as both the plastic wrap and the underside of our mattress tore during transportation. This damage would not be covered by the product warranty.
ABROTTEN comes with a 90-night sleep trial, which is shorter than the industry-standard 100-night trial. IKEA’s policy only allows a one-time exchange or a store credit refund rather than cash back. If you exchange the mattress for a more expensive product, 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 wrap, or an IKEA mattress bag (available at the delivery counter). Return pickup service may incur a fee and is done only if the mattress is clean and undamaged.
If you choose to keep ABROTTEN, it’s 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, free delivery to most locations in Canada, and the option of a full refund with free return pickup for flexibility and peace of mind.
Get a longer sleep trial with free return pickup and a full refund when you shop Juno.

IKEA ABROTTEN Mattress Construction
IKEA ABROTTEN is a foam mattress. It stands tall 8″ tall, and has 3 layers. Foams used in this mattress are not CertiPUR-US® certified.
- Layer 1: The comfort layer is 1.25″ of high-resilience polyurethane foam. This layer provides pressure relief, without having too much “hug”, and prevents you from sinking too deeply into the mattress.
- Layer 2: The second (transition) layer is 1.25″ of polyurethane foam, which provides additional pressure-point relief. IKEA calls this layer “soft and resilient.”
- Layer 3: The support layer is 5.5″ of convoluted polyurethane support foam. This layer gives the mattress its sturdy structure so that you don’t sink too far into the upper layers, and also helps make it more breathable.
The IKEA ABROTTEN mattress cover is made of a blend of polyester and polyethylene and is lined with polypropylene, a breathable fabric that IKEA calls “sportswear fibres.” This gives the cover a soft and stretchy feel. Underneath the removable and machine-washable mattress cover, there is also an inner cover made of recycled polyester.

MattressReviews.ca commissions licensed third-party engineers and uses public data to rate mattresses on over 40 criteria.
This allows us to accurately rate and compare the performance of the mattresses reviewed on this website. Engineer independence and operating standards help ensure their results remain unbiased, valid, and reliable. Each mattress was evaluated using the same strict mattress testing methodology to protect the overall integrity of the results. The full report has been given the official stamp of approval from an APEGA-certified engineer operating under a strict ethical code of conduct.
Mattress testing conducted outside of this professional standard poses a greater risk of validity errors or reviewer bias.
5.7 /10
Firmness
In third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us), IKEA ABROTTEN scored 5.7/10 for firmness. This places the mattress on the softer end of the medium-firm category, which makes it suitable for all sleep styles.
(Looking for a slightly firmer mattress? Juno’s 6.0/10 firmness score provides a touch more support in the areas you need it most.)
9.3 /10
Edge Support
IKEA ABROTTEN scored 9.3/10 for edge support. This is an excellent score for any mattress and can be attributed to ABROTTEN’s high-resilience foam and sturdy support layer. You can sit on the edge of this mattress or sleep farther away from the middle without sinking in.
6.9 /10
Motion Isolation
Foam mattresses are generally known for having good motion isolation. IKEA ABROTTEN is no exception with its above-average score of 6.9/10. You shouldn’t notice most of your partner’s movements when they change sleep positions.
5.1 /10
Bounce
IKEA scored 5.1/10 for bounce. This score is about average for a foam mattress, as foam mattresses tend to have lower bounce compared to their coil/hybrid counterparts. You should be able to get out of bed without feeling stuck in the mattress.
(Need a mattress with less bounce for a more restful and smoother sleep? Juno has a bounce score of 2.5/10, giving you a consistent sleep surface so you can sleep undisturbed.)
2.0 /10
Cooling Features
IKEA advertises the ABROTTEN mattress as having some cooling properties to help you sleep cool at night. This mattress earns points for its:
- Breathable, moisture-wicking polypropylene top cover, which IKEA calls “sportswear fibres”
- Perforated foam for improved airflow
If you need more advanced cooling features in an affordable mattress, you might prefer Juno instead. Juno has a layer of cooling gel foam to reduce heat buildup and promote airflow. It also comes with an optional Cool+ cover made with special cooling yarn, which helps control surface temperatures. Juno offers these enhanced cooling features for a lower price than IKEA ABROTTEN.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are IKEA mattresses good?
IKEA ABROTTEN is an affordable foam mattress that performed well in third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us). However, it has very few advanced cooling features, even for a budget mattress. IKEA also offers only a 90-day exchange period with no refunds. This is concerning as some customer reviews mention the mattress sagging after a short period of time.
You may prefer a mattress like Juno. The company offers a generous 120-night sleep trial, a longer 15-year warranty, free shipping to most major metro areas in Canada, and hassle-free returns with free pickup and a full refund. Every mattress purchase also comes with a free bedding bundle—something you won’t get with an IKEA mattress.
Where can I buy an IKEA mattress?
IKEA mattresses can be purchased online through their website, or in person at an IKEA store.
How long is IKEA’s warranty?
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, such as during transport. The damage our mattress incurred while we were trying to fit it into the vehicle would not be covered by the warranty.
Who makes IKEA mattresses?
According to the packaging, the IKEA mattress we received was made in Mexico. IKEA is a Swedish furniture company that produces its products in various factories across numerous countries, with the majority of its products being made in China, Poland, Italy, Germany, and Sweden.
How do you return an IKEA mattress?
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.
Who owns IKEA?
The IKEA brand is owned and operated by Inter IKEA Systems B.V., which in turn is owned by Inter IKEA Holding B.V. The company is based in the Netherlands and was founded in 1983 by Ingvar Kamprad.
How long does an IKEA mattress last?
An IKEA mattress should ideally last as long as its warranty. The IKEA ABROTTEN has a limited warranty of 10 years, meaning it should last about as long with proper care and maintenance.
