IKEA's Hesstun Eurotop mattress is sure to grab eyeballs. This is because their mattresses are quite popular among people going to college. They need a bed to sleep on without spending huge amounts of money. IKEA's MALM bed frame is minimal and low. It is their third most popular item in terms of sales. The brand's approach to mattresses is a little different from the bedding companies operating online today. There are numerous mattresses in its lineup, which is spread across its stores in the US. Naturally, IKEA is keener on offline sales than online sales. Of course, people can buy the Hesstun mattress if they wish to do so. But there are a lot of mattresses on offer from IKEA, and it might confuse them. That is why we are focusing on the Hesstun mattress in this review. The Hesstun might be one of the many mattresses on offer by IKEA. But it is a product that cannot be ignored.

 

Interior Build

Most spring beds have numerous metal coils that are suspended in the other materials of the bed. These coils give good temperature control and a good amount of bounce. This supports the body by providing a similar amount of pressure that is applied to it by the sleeper. The Hesstun has all the features of some of the other mattresses in the lineup and adds a few extra. It has a significant foam layer along with individual pocket springs that are present in double layers. The pocket springs inside the bed shape themselves according to the shape of the sleeper's body to give a supportive and firm sleep surface along with greater comfort.

 

Usage Experience 

The Hesstun distributes body weight evenly and gives good support. This is due to it being a spring mattress. The open spring helps to circulate the air very well. This assists in keeping the sleeper cool in his sleep cycle. IKEA's coil spring lineup has a wide range of beds, among which the Hesstun is a highlight. The lineup consists of beds that give medium to firm support. They are also available at various price points as per the preference of the consumer.

 

Comfort Factor 

You may be someone who likes soft mattresses. Then the Hesstun is not for you. According to resources, user reviews, and research on the web, most of the mattresses by the brand are of a medium-firm level. Hesstun is no different. It is also a medium-firm on the firmness scale. Compared to industry standards, it is slightly less than medium-firm. Further, the brand does not provide any mattress that is anywhere in the range of being soft. The Hjellestad is most probably the softest mattress that they have on offer. But it is pretty pricey compared to the other mattresses in the lineup.

 

Still, you can do some things to soften up the Hesstun. You can add a comfortable mattress top. But our recommended solution is to try out the bed for yourself. You can do so at their stores or by ordering it online. IKEA gives you a trial period of 365 days for all of the mattresses in its lineup. So, you can easily get one online without being worried. Anyway, the firmness levels are quite subjective and depend on the individual's body type and shape. Getting such an extended trial period will help to determine if the Hesstun is comfortable for you or not.

 

Conclusion 

The Hesstun is a budget-friendly mattress. But it still gives moderate value for money. The overall profile, design, thickness of the layers, and the selection of materials leave much to be desired when it comes to the actual user experience. IKEA is on the right track with providing such cost-effective mattress solutions. But we feel that you can get better mattresses at this price point.
