Any one with experience with IKEA foam mattresses?

[DaveCSparty]

Moving to Chicago but my mattress won't fit in the van... so I will have to buy a new one. I don't want to go a week without a bed and I know IKEA foam mattresses can be take home in a van... so anyone with experience?

They have some decently priced mattresses from 150 to 200 bucks. Please let me know, thanks!

No... but is it worth paying $200 to avoid a week of sleeping on the couch?

I don't have a couch yet neither, I'll have to shop for that as well...

Are they pretty much crap? I really don't want to spend that much money on a mattress...

I bought their cheapest spring mattress, which was good enough for me. I don?t see why the foam would be any worse, but my old mattress was real crap so YMMV.

Nope, but their down comforters are amazing. Best bedspread I've ever purchased. I don't even use a top sheet anymore.

Their mattresses are crap in my book. You get what you pay for. I would't sleep on a $150 mattress anymore than I would walk in a $12 pair of shoes. I spend way too much time in both.

Wait, $200 for just a week? What about just an inflatable bed or something?

No no, I mean if I buy an IKEA foam bed I'll keep it as my main bed instead of spending a lot of money for a regular mattress. IKEA stuff is cheap but like someone already said, I'll probably get what I pay for...

I plan on going there anyway tomorrow, but I'll probably pick up a couch, coffee table, and a bed from a regular furniture store. I wish stuff were cheaper!

I'll go to IKEA for shower curtains, and misc things for the apartment... a bookshelf, etc
