Does anyone have the IKEA Sultan Finnvik mattress?

I used their mattress-finder quiz thing, and this is what they recommended to me. I am moving out of my marital home and into an apartment because my H and I are divorcing, so I am looking to furnish my new place on a limited budget. I am both alarmed and intrigued that this mattress is only $349 for a queen-sized. I am thinking of putting it on the Lillesand bedframe with the Sultan Laxeby slatted bed base. I like the idea of not using a box spring because I like a lower bed, especially because my dog is getting older, and it would not be as far for him to jump. 

I should note that I am not looking for a mattress that will necessarily last 10-20 years. I plan to stay in debt paydown mode for the next three years (I am working on a CC debt snowball), and then once my budget opens up, there is probably a Tempurpedic in my future. However, I can't afford that just yet, so I would like a mattress to bridge the gap between now and then.

TIA!

Do you have an Ikea near you? Beds are such a personal thing... You can't really know until you try it out.

I have a $350-ish mattress from Ikea but I'm not sure what model it is.

I love it.  It is very firm, but that is what we like.

I agree with the pp who suggested trying it out if you can. I tried that mattress out this weekend (because of the price), but it was very firm to me.  Since you took the quiz, though, I'm guessing you like a firmer mattress; so, it could be a good option.

If, however, you want something plush, the Sultan Hansbo is heaven.

We have a $275-ish mattress from IKEA in one of our rental cottages.  We have it on the slats, on the IKEA bed with the drawers in the frame.  Not only do we think it's super comfortable, everyone else who has slept on it remarks how comfy it is as well.

I had an IKEA mattress about 9 years ago and it wore out in just a few years.  But I think they have come a long way since then and it was really comfy.

I do plan to try them out in the store, but I appreciate everyone's input! I do like a firmer bed, so I am thinking this one might be a nice fit for me. Thanks, again!
