Which mattress for Hemnes day bed??

[InOmniaParatus42]

We've got the IKEA Hemnes day bed in DS's room with the Malfors mattress. DS is happy with it, but on the few occasions that I have to use it, I always get up with a backache 😒
This bed is also used by guests sometimes, so they're probably not having a good night's sleep either.

Since the Hemnes daybed is smaller than a usual single, I'm stuck with IKEA mattresses! IKEA doesn't seem to do the Malfors anymore, but instead has these 2 in a 80x200 size:

Vannareid which is a pocket sprung mattress for £129

Asvang which is a foam mattress for £85

Both is these are meant to be firm and 12cms thick. Shall I assume that the more expensive mattress will be better? Does anyone have any of the above?

Would it help to add a mattress topper on it? I can't seem to find any mattress toppers which are 80x200, so that's going to be tricky.

TIA!!

I would definitely go with the pocket-sprung mattress for the day bed, having used the same model for at least 10 years in our home.

Thanks @LaingsAcidTab
I'm going to try and go to IKEA to try it out too

Don't ikea do mattress toppers that size?

Definitely go for the pocket sprung one - foam mattresses are awful!

@Whatalovelydaffodil they do a topper that would fit the double bed... So I won't be able to have it on when it's being used as a single. I'll need to put it on every time it's opened up. Which isn't too bad I guess. I'm looking for the easy lazy option 😊

Oh that is a bit strange. We've got 200x80 toppers for ours, but they were bought about 12 years ago.

I always wonder why they don't sell a decent mattress for people who like the bed but don't want to open it out. Are they supposed to buy two of the thin ones and stack them?
