Assessed from Ikea's product page, captured September 2026, and from regular price comparison across our UK retail partners.
Price is the honest headline here. At £85 to £110 the Malfors costs less than many mattresses spend on marketing, so if you need a functional foam mattress for a guest room or a child moving up from a cot bed, it deserves a look. The EU Single and EU Double sizes are genuinely useful too. Plenty of continental bed frames sold in the UK don't fit standard UK mattress sizes, and options at this price for EU dimensions are thin on the ground. Yes, a budget foam mattress won't offer the layered support of pricier hybrids, but for occasional use or lighter sleepers it may be all you need.

Who's it NOT for?
If you want detailed reassurance before spending, this one is tricky: firmness, depth and foam composition aren't confirmed. Budget foam mattresses in general tend to suit occasional or lighter use, so if you're a heavier sleeper or want a long-term everyday mattress, consider spending more.
Ikea Malfors Foam Mattress
How much does the Ikea Malfors mattress cost?
The Malfors is priced from £85.00, with the range running from £85 to £110 depending on the size you choose. That places it firmly in budget territory, which makes it a common pick for spare rooms and children's beds.
What sizes does the Ikea Malfors come in?
It's available in UK Small Single, UK Single and UK Double, along with EU Single and EU Double. The EU sizes are handy if you own a continental bed frame, as standard UK mattresses often won't fit those properly.
What type of mattress is the Ikea Malfors?
It's a foam mattress, so there are no springs inside. Foam mattresses tend to feel quieter and more contouring than sprung ones, although we don't hold confirmed details of the specific foam layers used in the Malfors.
