What sets it apart

This 9.5-inch mattress uses individually wrapped pocket springs arranged in five comfort zones and a reinforced perimeter. IKEA sells the queen in three firmness labels at the same displayed price.

Our take

On paper, the three firmness choices and zoned spring unit make this a flexible step up from VESTERÖY without entering hybrid pricing.

Reasons to consider it

A spring-centered build is worth comparing if you like a buoyant surface and change positions frequently.

The tradeoff

Spring response can make partner movement more noticeable. A pillow top changes cushioning but does not remove the underlying spring feel.

These comfort observations are editorial inferences from construction and published firmness, not results of hands-on testing.

Price and configurations

The recorded queen price is $399. This is a dated mattress-only offer, not a live checkout quote.

For context, the ÅKREHAMN Foam starts at $379 in this catalog, $20 less than VALEVÅG Pocket Spring. Compare the construction and firmness below before treating the difference as an upgrade.

Price snapshot: September 16, 2026. USD, before tax. Delivery, accessories, bases and later promotions can change your total.

Trial, returns and setup

IKEA advertises its 90-day mattress trial as an exchange program; verify current eligibility and exchange conditions.
