we do mattresses are funny things these days they can cost as much as a quality second-hand car some beds can even cost as much as a brand new car with extra features does a good mattress have to cost so much we honestly don t understand it either however we build our mattresses ­ with a high comfort factor using quality materials ­ we still only come up to a fraction of that price in order to ensure our mattresses are comfortable and durable we use a real man made of steel and wood admittedly ­ but still and this 300lb man is without doubt the most demanding man ever to lie on a mattress he has one job in life and that s to test our mattresses and he does it well his tests show that the springs really last which is why we give most of our mattresses a 25-year limited warranty without as much as a second thought there s a lot of talk about natural materials in mattress advertisements these days ­ and at ikea stores you can choose from mattresses filled with eco-cotton silk or wool but there are also times when other materials are more suitable ­ such as polyester which is twice as strong as cotton buying a mattress is very much an individual choice ­ it s the most personal item of furniture in your home so choose carefully ­ you might need one type of mattress and your bed partner another and of course there s nothing to say that you should have a mattress for $2500 you might want four totaling the same price come and pay us a visit lie down for a while and give the matter some thought if you need some advice there are people at ikea who can help you but you won t have to meet our 300lb man he s already done his bit to make sure you sleep well at night.
