Ikea Vatnestrom Pocket Sprung Mattress

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

Natural fillings are the main reason to pick the Vatnestrom. Latex gives a springy, responsive feel rather than the slow sink of memory foam, and Ikea says the wool and cotton help regulate temperature through the night. The pocket springs move independently, so a restless partner disturbs you less, and the comfort zones add a little give at the shoulders and hips. Ikea states a 365-night trial across its mattress range, though it's sensible to confirm the terms at checkout, and the 10-year guarantee and certification to EN 1957 and BS 7177 back up the build.

Couples
Individually wrapped pocket springs move independently, so a restless partner disturbs you less, and the Double and King sizes give two people room to settle.

Warm sleepers
Wool and cotton fillings, which Ikea says help regulate temperature through the night, plus a 100% cotton cover, suit anyone who tends to overheat in bed.

Back sleepers
Comfort zones give a little at the hips and shoulders while the pocket springs keep your back supported, which suits a firm, level feel.

Eco-conscious buyers
A natural latex top layer, wool and cotton fillings and a cotton cover mean you get a natural-filled mattress without any memory foam.

If you want a soft, sink-in feel, the firm tension and latex top won't give you that. It only comes in UK Double and UK King, so anyone shopping for a single or small double will need a different model. Lighter side sleepers may also find it too firm at the shoulders.

How much does the Ikea Vatnestrom mattress cost?

It depends on the size you choose, and the price table on this page shows the current price for each size.

What sizes does the Ikea Vatnestrom come in?

It comes in UK Double and UK King, so it's aimed at couples with a standard double or king-size bed.

Is the Ikea Vatnestrom a pocket sprung mattress?

Yes. It uses pocket springs, where each spring is sewn into its own fabric pocket and moves independently. In practice, that means better contouring to your body and less disturbance when a partner moves during the night.

Is the Ikea Vatnestrom firm or soft?

Ikea describes it as firm. The latex layer adds some cushioning on top of the springs, but the overall feel is supportive rather than plush, which tends to suit back sleepers who like a solid surface.

What is the Ikea Vatnestrom made of?

Steel pocket springs with a latex comfort layer, plus cotton, wool and coconut fibre in the fillings and cover. It's certified to EN 1957 and BS 7177.
