Has anyone ever bought an Ikea mattress? Did you like it? Did it hold up well?

They have 'natural' mattresses which I am thinking of buying one of, but they only have it displayed with the box spring and additional topper. Its rated at being on the firmer side alone, but with all the stuff its pretty cushy. Its also $$$. Its also the only natural mattress I can try, the others are all mail order, and I like a soft mattress.

I know this sounds a little ADD, but let me know if you have any thoughts one way or another.

We just bought an Idea mattress for our boy-man-child.

dh and ds picked it out and brought it home one day. I didn't think it that great of quality. I'd agree GrlScout with the stack of squishy cardboard. He's only been sleeping on it for a couple weeks, so I can't tell you how long it is going to hold up. But I really think that it will have a permanent dent or valley in the middle in about 4 months.

I don’t know if the mattress he got is “natural” or not… It was not terribly expensive.

Cate, are those the ones sold through their stores?

I have never heard of these natural mattresses.

We bought a Sultan mattress from IKEA for the boychild. It was about 6" thick, and not very squishy. In fact, it felt like a stack of cardboard.

He didn't mind it. But he now LOVES his actual mattress and boxspring.
