Inside the Ikea Abygda you get standard polyurethane foam at 33 kg/m3, which means the core is reasonably dense for the price, plus a memory foam layer. It carries EN 1957 and BS 7177 certifications and comes with a 10-year guarantee. At 16 cm it's slimmer than many hybrids, so it suits smaller budgets and lighter sleepers better than heavier builds. Ikea's brand-wide policy gives you 365 nights to try it, which is longer than most brands offer.

Why should you choose this mattress?
Choose the Abygda if you want a firm, low-fuss foam mattress from a brand with generous aftercare. The 365-night trial under Ikea's brand-wide policy takes most of the risk out of buying, and the 10-year guarantee is reassuring at an affordable starting price. The 33 kg/m3 foam density is a genuine plus: denser foam tends to hold its shape longer, which means less risk of early sagging. Yes, it's only 16 cm deep, but that keeps the price down and the mattress easy to move. If you sleep on your back or prefer a firmer surface, this is a sensible budget option. Sizes run from EU Single up to UK King.
Key features & layer details
Comfort zones
The surface is divided into comfort zones, which means different areas of the mattress respond a little differently to where your body needs give and where it needs support. It's a simple way of tailoring a foam mattress without adding depth.
Standard foam
A core of polyurethane foam at 33 kg/m3 provides the firm support the mattress is built around. That density figure matters: it suggests the foam should resist softening and dipping better than lighter budget foams.
Memory foam
A layer of memory foam softens the firm core slightly, contouring to your shoulders and hips as they warm it. You'll feel a gentle cradle rather than a deep sink.

Best suited for?
Back sleepers
The firm 33 kg/m3 polyurethane core gives the steady support a flat, level back position needs, softened slightly by the memory foam layer on top.
Budget buyers
Described as an affordable starting price with a 10-year guarantee, it keeps costs down while still using reasonably dense foam that should hold its shape.
Lighter sleepers
The slimmer 16 cm build suits lower body weights, and the memory foam layer gives a gentle cradle rather than a deep sink.
Guest rooms
A 365-night trial and a firm, low-fuss foam build make it a simple choice for a spare room, and the slim 16 cm depth keeps it easy to move.
Lightweight side sleepers may find the firm feel a little unforgiving on shoulders and hips. At 16 cm deep, it's also less suited to heavier bodies who need a more substantial build, and anyone who loves a plush, sink-in surface should look elsewhere. There's no UK Super King option either.
Save on an earlier or ex-display model
Some retailers still sell the earlier version of this mattress, or ex-display and returned stock at a lower price. These are the sizes where it costs less than the current model's best price.

FAQ's
How firm is the Ikea Abygda mattress?
Ikea describes the Abygda as firm. The memory foam layer softens the surface slightly, so you get a little contouring at the shoulders and hips, but the overall feel is supportive rather than plush. Back sleepers and those who prefer a solid surface will get on with it best.
How deep is the Ikea Abygda mattress?
It's 16 cm deep, which is slimmer than many mattresses. That makes it lighter to handle and well suited to bunk beds, guest rooms or shallower fitted sheets, though heavier sleepers may prefer a deeper build.
Does the Ikea Abygda come with a trial and guarantee?
Ikea's brand-wide policy gives you 365 nights to try it, and the mattress is covered by a 10-year guarantee. It's sensible to confirm the trial terms at checkout, as they come from Ikea's general policy rather than the individual product listing.
What sizes does the Ikea Abygda come in?
It's available in UK Single, UK Double, UK King and EU Single. There's no Super King option, so couples wanting maximum space will need to look at other models.
Is the Ikea Abygda safety certified?
Yes. It carries EN 1957 certification, a European standard covering mattress durability and firmness testing, and BS 7177, the British standard for fire safety in mattresses.
