Why should you choose this mattress?
Choose the Vesteroy if you want pocket springs without the pocket sprung price. Its 267 springs per square metre respond to your body individually, which helps reduce that roll-together feeling on a shared bed. The polyurethane foam comfort layer has a density of 33 kg/m3, a respectable figure at an affordable starting price that suggests it should hold its shape reasonably well over time. It meets EN 1957 and BS 7177 standards, covering durability and fire safety testing. Yes, at 20cm it's a slim mattress with a fairly simple build, but the 10-year guarantee and Ikea's generous returns policy take much of the risk out of trying it. It comes in UK Single, Double and King.
Key features & layer details
Pocket springs
Individually wrapped steel springs, 267 per square metre, that compress independently under your body. This gives more precise support than connected coils and helps limit motion transfer between partners.
Standard foam
A polyurethane foam layer at 33 kg/m3 density sits above the springs to soften the feel. It cushions pressure points at the shoulders and hips without adding much sink.
Stiff felt
A firm felt layer that protects the foam from the spring unit. It keeps the comfort layer from working its way into the coils, which helps the mattress last.

Best suited for?
Budget buyers
The copy calls it a simple budget option, offering pocket springs without the usual pocket sprung price, so it suits anyone wanting that construction affordably.
Couples
Its 267 individually wrapped springs per square metre respond separately to each body, which helps reduce that roll-together feeling on a shared bed.
Back sleepers
A medium firm feel with a foam layer over individually responding springs gives steady, even support under the back while still softening pressure at the hips.
Guest rooms
With a 10-year guarantee, a straightforward build and a medium firm feel, it gives occasional visitors a comfortable bed without needing a luxury outlay.
Combination sleepers
Medium firm tension and independently moving springs mean the surface responds as you change position, without sinking deeply into a thick foam layer.
If you want a deep, plush feel, the 20cm profile and simple foam-over-springs build will feel a little basic. Lighter side sleepers may find medium firm slightly too solid at the shoulder. Anyone after memory foam contouring or a hybrid with multiple comfort layers should look elsewhere.
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.
