Brad Grose, founder, Mattress Miracle, family owned in Brantford since 1997, with 40+ years in the mattress industry: "IKEA does a real job at the entry price point, and a lot of Brantford families start there. What we see in the showroom is the second-mattress buyer, the customer who realises a $99 foam slab is not the same conversation as a pocket-coil hybrid built for an adult body. Once people lie on a properly built Canadian mattress with real coil count and high-density foam, the value comparison shifts quickly."
IKEA sells more mattresses in Canada than most people realize. Their prices start around $99 for a basic Twin and top out near $900 for a premium Queen hybrid (Canadian IKEA pricing varies by region and is subject to change). But IKEA's naming system makes comparison shopping almost impossible. Is the VALEVAG the same as the discontinued HAUGESUND? What replaced the HOVAG? Is the MORGEDAL still available?
This guide reviews every IKEA mattress currently available in Canada as of 2026, with honest quality assessments, sizing information, and comparisons to Canadian mattress brands. For the condensed verdict on durability and the exchange-policy catch, see our IKEA Canada mattress overview. Mattress Miracle does not carry IKEA, we are a Canadian-made specialty store in Brantford on West Street, so this is a buyer's guide rather than a sales pitch. Our fitting team sees IKEA returns in the Brantford showroom regularly, and the patterns are consistent enough to be worth sharing.
Which IKEA Mattresses Are Sold in Canada in 2026?
Budget Tier (under $250)
AGOTNES (Foam, approximately $99 Twin)
IKEA's cheapest mattress. Basic polyurethane foam, 5 inches thick. Adequate for a child's bed or extremely temporary use. Not recommended for adult primary sleep. Available in Twin only.
ASVANG (Foam, approximately $149 to $249)
A step up from the AGOTNES with denser foam and medium-firm support. Available in Twin, Full, and Queen. Still a budget mattress. Fine for a guest room or teenager's room. Not comfortable enough for long-term adult use.
VADSO (Bonnell Spring, approximately $199 Full)
IKEA's cheapest spring mattress. Uses traditional Bonnell (interconnected) coils rather than pocket coils. Firm feel with noticeable motion transfer. Fine for a guest bed. Not competitive with modern pocketed coil options.
Mid-Range Tier ($300 to $500)
VALEVAG (Hybrid, approximately $449 Queen), Best Overall
This is the IKEA mattress to buy. The VALEVAG is a pocket-spring hybrid with foam comfort layers and five comfort zones that provide softer support at the shoulders and hips. Available in Firm and Medium-Firm. Customer reviews on IKEA Canada rate it around 3.8 out of 5 stars.
The VALEVAG is IKEA's replacement for the discontinued HAUGESUND, though it is a meaningful upgrade with thicker foam layers (roughly 1.5 inches versus 0.75 inches on the HAUGESUND).
Best for: Budget-conscious shoppers who want a hybrid mattress under $500.
VESTEROY (Hybrid, approximately $399 to $449 Queen)
Another pocket-spring hybrid, slightly thinner than the VALEVAG. Medium-firm feel. A good option if the VALEVAG is out of stock.
ASBYGDA (Memory Foam, approximately $379 to $449)
IKEA's mid-range memory foam option. Firm feel with decent contouring. Available in 4 sizes. A solid choice for back and stomach sleepers who prefer foam over springs.
AKREHAMN (Memory Foam, approximately $499 Queen)
Higher-density memory foam with better contouring than the ASBYGDA. Available in Firm and Medium-Firm. Good motion isolation for couples.
Premium Tier ($500 to $900)
ABROTTEN (Memory Foam, approximately $599 Queen), Best Foam Option
IKEA's best foam mattress with cooling technology. The top layer includes a cooling gel foam that helps improve heat conductivity (modest, not refrigerated-room cooling). Available in Firm and Medium-Firm. This is the IKEA mattress that comes closest to competing with online foam beds from Douglas and Endy.
VAGSTRANDA (Hybrid, approximately $699 Queen)
IKEA's premium hybrid with more firmness options (three levels) and higher-quality pocket springs. Better edge support and motion isolation than the VALEVAG. Worth the upgrade if you share the bed.
ANNELAND (Hybrid, approximately $799 Queen)
IKEA's top-tier hybrid. Premium pocket springs with multiple comfort layers. Three firmness options. The closest IKEA gets to competing with $1,000+ mattresses from Canadian brands.
VINGELEN (Eurotop Hybrid, approximately $899 Queen)
IKEA's most expensive mattress. A euro-top design with plush comfort layers on top of pocket springs. The softest IKEA mattress available. Best for side sleepers who want a cushioned feel.
Talia Grose, sleep specialist, Mattress Miracle: "The most common feedback we hear from a customer who slept on a VALEVAG or VESTEROY for a year is that the foam compression flattens at the shoulders and hips for side sleepers heavier than 180 pounds. The five-zone idea works for the first six months. After that, the foam density at this price point cannot keep up. That's where the conversation shifts to a real pocketed coil with higher ILD foam, which sits a tier above what flat-pack manufacturing allows."

How Do IKEA Mattresses Compare to Canadian Online Brands?
| Feature | IKEA VALEVAG | Douglas Original | Endy | Logan and Cove |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Queen Price | ~$449 | ~$799 | ~$895 | ~$999 |
| Type | Hybrid | Foam | Foam | Hybrid |
| Trial | 90 days (exchange) | 365 nights (refund) | 365 nights (refund) | 365 nights (refund) |
| Warranty | 10 years | 20 years | 15 years with registration, 10 years without | 15 years |
| Free Shipping | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Made In | Mexico | Canada | Canada | Canada |
| Firmness Options | 2 | 1 | 3 | 2 |
Bottom line: IKEA is the budget entry point. For around $350 more, Canadian DTC brands offer dramatically better trial periods (365 versus 90 days), longer warranties, free shipping, and Canadian manufacturing. The IKEA advantage is in-store testing and the lowest entry price for a hybrid mattress. The Mattress Miracle advantage, by contrast, is a real Brantford showroom where you can compare seven Canadian-made Restonic and Sleep In hybrids side by side, with delivery, setup, and removal of your old mattress handled by our team.
What Is the IKEA Mattress Return and Exchange Policy?
- 90-day exchange: One exchange within 90 days for a different IKEA mattress.
- Condition: Mattress must not be dirty, stained, or damaged.
- Proof of purchase required.
- In-store only: You must bring the mattress to an IKEA location.
- Not applicable to: Cot mattresses or sofa bed mattresses.
- General return: Unopened mattresses can be returned within 365 days; opened within 90 days.
- Warranty: 10-year warranty covering manufacturing defects on all IKEA mattresses.
What Foundation Do IKEA Mattresses Need?
IKEA mattresses work with IKEA slatted bed bases (LUROY, LONSET), platform beds, and most flat, firm surfaces. IKEA's hybrid mattresses perform best on slatted bases that allow airflow. IKEA does not sell traditional box springs. Canadian-made pocketed coil hybrids from Restonic and Sleep In sold at Mattress Miracle in Brantford use the same slat-friendly construction, so transitioning the foundation later is straightforward.
IKEA mattresses in Canada use standardized firmness ratings and European construction methods that differ from North American mattress conventions. Mattress Miracle at 441 1/2 West Street in Brantford offers direct comparisons between IKEA price points and specialty mattress options. IKEA's flat-pack mattresses are designed for global shipping efficiency, which limits the coil systems and foam densities they can use. Call (519) 770-0001 for a specification comparison.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best IKEA mattress in Canada?
The VALEVAG hybrid (approximately $449 Queen) is the best overall. It combines pocket coils with foam comfort layers and has five comfort zones. For foam, the ABROTTEN (approximately $599 Queen) is the best option with cooling technology.
Does IKEA sell California King mattresses in Canada?
No. IKEA Canada carries Twin, Full/Double, Queen, and King sizes. California King is not available. If you have a Cal King bed frame, you will need to buy from another retailer.
Is the IKEA HAUGESUND still available?
The HAUGESUND has been discontinued. The VALEVAG is the closest replacement and is a meaningful upgrade with thicker foam layers and better comfort zones. If you liked the HAUGESUND, you will likely prefer the VALEVAG.
Can I try IKEA mattresses in-store?
Yes. All IKEA stores have mattresses on display that you can lie on. IKEA encourages in-store testing and their staff can help you find the right firmness. Spend at least 10 to 15 minutes lying in your normal sleep position to get an accurate feel.
How does IKEA mattress quality compare to a specialty Canadian store?
IKEA mattresses are noticeably cheaper but have shorter trial periods (90 days exchange-only versus 100 to 365 nights at most specialty retailers), shorter warranties (10 years versus 15 to 20 years), and flat-pack foam densities that are lower than what specialty stores carry. Canadian-made Restonic and Sleep In hybrids sold at Mattress Miracle in Brantford use higher coil counts and denser comfort foams. IKEA is the best option under $500; above that, a Canadian-made specialty mattress is usually a better long-term value.
