Hovag (Discontinued)

Hovag Review

The Hovag uses a combination of foam, soft fillings, and pocket springs in its construction. It offers reasonable support but feels noticeably cheap and bouncy.

Purchase and delivery

This mattress can be ordered online, and delivery is available Australia-wide (see full delivery information in our ‘Delivery’ section below). It can also be purchased through any of IKEA’s stores across Australia.

Aesthetically, the Hovag presents with a simple, clean appearance. It uses a white and grey colour theme along with a brand name label at its base.

Comfort and support

This mattress has a comfort layer that includes a stretch fabric, soft fillings, and polyurethane foam. This does provide some pressure relief, but its comfort level is far from luxurious.

We rated the Hovag as an ‘medium-firm’ feel and a 6.5 / 10 on the firmness scale. Please note that our firmness ratings are just a guide and they do not necessarily relate to comfort.

The support structure used in the Hovag is pocket spring system. This should provide adequate spinal support for most people, but it does feel overly responsive and cheap. It will likely struggle under the weight of larger sized people.

The finer details

In terms of build quality and craftsmanship, the Hovag is about average, and reasonable in context of its price. It does come with side handles, and its quality and finishings appear to be of decent quality.

It’s worth noting that partner disturbance will likely be a problem for larger people, and edge support is fair at best.

Please note that we do not recommend the Hovag to be used with an adjustable (electric) bed base. Here is our full list of mattresses that are compatible with an adjustable bed base.

Available sizes

The Hovag is available in 3 sizes (queen, double, and single) so it should suit most sleeping arrangements. Here are Australia’s standard bed (mattress) sizes in 2021.

Final verdict

The Hovag is a rather basic mattress that doesn’t offer high levels of comfort or quality. There are better options in this price bracket.

Sometimes the mattress has a noticeable smell when you open the packaging.

The smell isn’t harmful or toxic and disappears over time. Airing and vacuuming the mattress helps to eliminate the smell faster.

All of our mattresses can be used immediately, but keep in mind that a packaged mattress only regains its full shape and comfort after approximately 72 hours.

Your body also needs a couple of weeks to adapt to the new mattress.
