Ikea Hovag Pocket Sprung Mattress

Assessed from Ikea's product page, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.

The main draw here is price. You're getting pocket springs at a cost where many brands only offer basic open coil designs, and pocket springs generally mean better motion isolation and more even support across the surface. The size range is another quiet strength: EU Single and EU King sit alongside UK Single through Super King, so it pairs neatly with European-sized bed frames that leave gaps around standard UK mattresses.

Budget buyers
The copy places it firmly at the budget end of the pocket spring market, giving you pocket springs where many rivals offer only basic open coils.

European bed frames
Seven sizes include EU Single and EU King, so it fits Ikea frames built to European dimensions without the gaps standard UK mattresses leave.

Couples
Individually wrapped pocket springs generally isolate motion better, which means less disturbance when your partner moves or gets in and out of bed.

Guest rooms
A low-cost pocket spring build with a wide size range makes it easy to fit a spare room bed of almost any size.

If you want full transparency on what's inside your mattress before spending, this one is hard to research: we have no verified details on layers, depth, spring count or firmness. Buyers who need a confirmed firmness rating to match a specific sleeping position may prefer a model with fuller published specifications.

How much does the Ikea Hovag mattress cost?

It depends on the size you choose, and the price table on this page shows the current price for each size. It has a genuinely low entry price for a pocket sprung design, a construction type that usually costs more than basic open coil mattresses.

What sizes does the Ikea Hovag come in?

Seven sizes: UK Single, UK Small Double, UK Double, UK King and UK Super King, plus EU Single and EU King. The European sizes are useful if you have an Ikea or other continental bed frame, which standard UK mattresses often don't fit properly.

Is the Ikea Hovag pocket sprung?

Yes. Pocket springs are individually wrapped coils that compress independently, which means the mattress responds to your body shape rather than moving as one unit. In practice, you'll notice less partner disturbance and more targeted support than a traditional open coil gives you.
