Any buying tips? Does it need to be any more complicated than lying on a few at the showroom? Of course I know mattresses aren’t lifetime purchases; my main concern is avoiding paying good money for something I’ll hate in a few years.

I’m prepared to spend up to US$1500. I want a spring coil mattress. I don’t want memory foam. Please lend me your shopping experiences!

    IKEA only sells cheap shit. For furniture it isn’t too bad but the build quality still sucks.

    Never cheap out on a mattress. Your back and health will pay for it over time. Spend the money.

      I beg to differ. IKEA sells at a bunch of price points with good value. The quality and durability of their furniture is better than their competition for the most part.

      I distinctly remember them selling at least one mattress for more than $1000 USD. That’s not cheap unless you’re exceptionally wealthy.

      Their hybrid mattress is damn good for the price, especially when it’s on sale. Not everyone can afford spending so much money. At the time I couldn’t, that Ikea mattress was leagues ahead of the competition.
