Ikea's latex beds
|
Hello. I'm a new member on this site and I was just wondering if you can help me look for a good latex bed to replace my old one. I'm currently looking at the 3 that they offer at Ikea but am willing to look elsewhere. Keep in mind that I live in Canada so I may not have access to the same products as you. =P Questions: 1. Does anyone know if the quality of these mattresses are good? 2. Do you recommend putting the bed on the slatted base or should I get a flat piece of plywood? Wouldn't the base distribute the weight unevenly and deteriorate the foam? 3. What do you use, and how often do you "clean" this type of bed? 4. It's selling for $1300 right now. Does it ever go on sale? Thank you! |

| I wouldn't pay much attention to that 25 year warranty, since you would never be able to collect on it. Further, IIRC, Ikea used to have a lifetime warranty on mattresses. Just as worthless, but sounded more bogus. The mattresses may be OK for the $, and quality should be about the same as all Ikea products. |

Thank you everyone. I just went to Ikea and they didn't really specify which slatted base was made for latex mattresses. Can anyone tell me which one you're referring to? http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/categories/rooms/bedroom/10635/ |

| I was looking at the print catalog and there was only one slatted base. I always find it's best to call directly if you have specific questions for a particular vendor. If there is more than one, their salespeople should know exactly which one supports their latex mattresses. |
