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. From £129, 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. We can't confirm the internal build, spring count or firmness from verified sources, so if those details matter to you, check the listing carefully before you buy.

Who's it NOT for?
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.
Ikea Hovag Pocket Sprung Mattress
View all mattresses
How much does the Ikea Hovag mattress cost?
The Hovag ranges from £129 to £279 depending on the size you choose, with the smallest option starting at £129. That's 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.
