Without further ado, our IKEA Morgedal Foam Mattress Review:

Company Overview	IKEA

Trial length:	365 nights
Warranty:	10 years
Where to buy:	Online, IKEA stores

Although to many North American shoppers IKEA may look and feel like a relatively modern business, the Swedish company actually got its start as a mail order company in 1943. Less than a decade later, in the 1950s, the company was already orienting itself towards furniture and self-assembly. By the ’60s, IKEA was opening new stores and developing its own products. When the ’80s rolled around, IKEA was expanding its reach in Europe.

Alongside its increasing market growth, the company has expanded its offerings to include kitchen equipment, child and family-oriented decor, and, as of now, bedroom furnishings that include a small collection of spring and foam mattresses.

Today, the company has continued to expand both its catalogue and its reputation with buyers as a budget-friendly home decor and furnishings company.

Shipping cost:	Varies by location

IKEA uses FedEx and a variety of shipping partners to deliver directly to customers’ doors throughout most of Canada. There is a shipping fee that’s calculated based on your postal code. IKEA customers should also expect to pay for both Express Delivery and Click and Collect services although finding and picking up items in-store can be done at no cost. IKEA customers can expect their new mattress to arrive within 1 to 5 business days.

Unopened mattresses in new and unused condition can be returned within 365 days with proof of purchase. For customers who do use their mattress and end up wishing to return it, they can exchange their mattresses once in a 90-day period. Customers will need to bring their mattress back to the store themselves and with their receipt. In the event that a more expensive mattress is chosen, customers are expected to pay the difference in price. If customers choose a cheaper mattress, they will receive store credit for the difference that can be put towards future IKEA purchases.

It is worth noting that Mattress-Reviews.com did not complete the return process, but received this information from IKEA’s website.

Out of the Box	IKEA
Delivered in a bag/box:	Yes
Box dimensions:	17" x 17" x 62"
Box opening:	Scissors required
Box/mattress fitting:	No box
Protection layers:	1
Expansion time:	10 minutes (recommends 72 hours)

Because we chose to pick up the IKEA Morgedal foam mattress in-store, there was no waiting during the delivery period and there was no damage to the packaging. 

The mattress came to us compressed in a plastic wrapper that was sealed with Velcro straps. It is worth noting that this arrangement made it easier to maneuver the mattress in its compressed form.

Customers will likely need scissors or a knife to open this plastic outer layer. To avoid potentially harming your new mattress, remember to be extra careful when using sharp objects. 

The IKEA Morgedal is protected with one thick outer layer of plastic that compresses the mattress into a vacuum seal that also keeps it tightly rolled in a cylinder shape. 

Customers will need to undo the Velcro straps and unroll the mattress, which will still be in its compressed form. Some helpful advice at this stage is to place the mattress bundle onto the designated bed frame. After completing this process, the mattress will be lying unrolled before you.

Next, cut the final layer of plastic. The vacuum seal now broken, the mattress will begin to decompress. Remove this final layer of plastic as the mattress expands to its full height. With the IKEA Morgedal foam mattress, full expansion took around 10 minutes, although it’s recommended that customers wait roughly 72 hours before sleeping on it.

The IKEA Morgedal foam mattress is a combination foam mattress. It combines foams of different densities to create a configuration that provides a reasonable amount of support.

The IKEA Morgedal is available in two firmness options: medium-firm and firm.

IKEA Morgedal Foam Mattress Layers

The IKEA Morgedal foam mattress contains two layers of foam. Like many of the foam mattresses on the market today, these layers work together to provide a general sense of comfort and support to sleepers.

• First layer: 3.75 inches of polyurethan comfort foam. This top layer of foam provides extra softness and gentle support as you lie down. Layer density: 2.2 lb/c.u. ft.

• Second layer: 3 inches of polyurethane support foam. This bottom layer gives the mattress its structure and overall integrity. Layer density: 1.7 lb/cu.ft.

Of note: The IKEA Morgedal’s top cover has a fairly thick lining. This accounts for the remainder of the mattress’ height.

IKEA Morgedal Foam Mattress Cover

The IKEA Morgedal has a two-toned cover. Like its spring hybrid alternative, the IKEA Haugesund, the Morgedal’s cover is white on the very top with multiple sets of stitched lines running parallel to each other. The side walls of the mattress are a dark gray with white stitching creating a regular square pattern. The top cover is made from a blend of polyester (64%) and cotton (36%). The IKEA Morgedal’s top cover is machine washable. 

Consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious when making purchases. Retailers both in and out of the mattress industry have been incorporating more eco-friendly and ethical policies when selling products and choosing suppliers.

GoodMorning.com Inc. carried out a survey in February 2017, discovering that almost 50% of Canadians are willing to spend more money for more environmentally friendly products. Therefore, in every review on Mattress-Reviews.com, we will highlight each mattress company’s green philosophy, as well as how prominent their policies are on their websites.

Social responsibility:	Returned mattresses are recycled
Packaging materials:	Plastic and fabric strapping
Foam materials:	Polyurethane
Cover materials:	Polyester, Cotton

Feel & Firmness	IKEA
Feel:	Medium-firm
Firmness:	6.5 / 10
Edge support:	6.3 / 10
Motion isolation	4.8 / 10
Bounce	6.8 / 10

Feel & Firmness

The Morgedal is a medium-firm mattress. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), it is rated at 6.5 / 10 on the firmness spectrum. The Morgedal Medium-Firm does have some ‘hug.’

Motion Isolation

Motion isolation in foam mattresses is usually very good and one of the main reasons couples make the switch from innerspring to memory foam. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the IKEA Morgedal Medium-Firm performed below average in this regard, rating at 4.8 / 10 on the motion isolation scale. However, this score is still less than many other foam-based mattresses tested on this site.

Edge Support

Foam and latex mattresses often have lower edge support scores than their spring and hybrid counterparts. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the IKEA Morgedal Medium-Firm is rated at 6.3 / 10 on the edge support scale.

Bounce

Due to the fact that motion isolation for foam mattresses is generally very good, bounce is generally very low. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the Morgedal Medium-Firm, which had a below average motion isolation score, rated 6.8 / 10 for bounce.

Remember, Mattress-Reviews.com is owned, operated, and paid for by GoodMorning.com Inc. and advertises the Octave, Douglas, Juno, and Logan & Cove brands. The following is strictly our competitive opinion:

---

Much like its spring hybrid counterpart, the Haugesund, the IKEA Morgedal trades primarily on its low price point. Along with its low price, the Morgedal also offers a 90-day sleep trial, solid support, and above-average bounce for a foam mattress. Students, discount shoppers, or folks who are looking to furnish a cabin or a guest room on a budget will be particularly interested in what this mattress has to offer.

That being said, the Morgedal does have its drawbacks. For one, the mattress isn’t available in either Twin XL or California King sizes. On top of the problem this presents for shoppers with bed frames in those sizes, this specific lack of size options also means that a split-king adjustable bed setup isn’t possible with this mattress model. In addition, the below-average motion isolation scores make this bed less than ideal for those who sleep with pets or a partner. The Morgedal is also exchange-only with customers being asked to arrange their own returns. 

That being said, the final and perhaps most critical concern for price-conscious shoppers are the shipping fees that may make this mattress a more expensive buy than it would seem at first glance.

For a value foam mattress that offers free shipping, a longer sleep trial, sells in all six standard sizes, has company-arranged returns, and full refunds, read our Juno mattress review.
