The Origin 2.0 Mattress vs IKEA AMSOSEN Mattress

The box weighs between 33 pounds for a twin size and 64 pounds for a king size, so it's always best for two people to carry it.

All mattresses from Polysleep come in minimalist-looking boxes made from recycled and fully compostable cardboard to reduce the carbon footprint. Even if the process of unboxing is simple as 1,2,3 there is a QR code on the box that goes in dept in the process and give additional information on the mattress.

It opens from the top when the box is leaning horizontally on the ground, kind of like a pizza box. The instruction on the box makes it easy to quickly understand how to open the box to reveal the vacuum-packed rolled mattress.

The box contains only the mattress and one small paper insert. There are no additional tools such as a cutter to avoid as much waste as possible.

Once you remove the mattress from the 2 plastic bags - carefully with a pair of scissors or a knife - the mattress instantly takes is shape in seconds. The mattress will take 24 hours to fully expand, but most of the job to sleep on it is already done within the first seconds. When we unpacked this mattress, we didn't smell anything like some other roll-packed mattresses do.

The packed mattress weighs around 76 lbs, so two people are required to carry it. 

IKEA AMSOSEN is delivered in double packaging. The first plastic layer contains the vacuum-packed mattress. The whole is contained in a second layer, also made of plastic. 

Unpacking the IKEA AMSOSEN mattress is slightly complicated: you have to cut the two layers of plastic, trying not to damage the mattress.

The packaging contains only the mattress and instructions for unpacking and use. 

Once the packaging has been removed, the mattress takes around 72 hours to fully unfold, which is quite a long time. However, you can use your mattress before it fully unfolds. 

There was a slight chemical odor after unpacking, but this evaporated after a few hours.

Polysleep's Origin 2.0 mattress features 3 layers of premium foam. It measures approximately 10 inches in thickness. 

The mattress, which is CertiPUR-US certified, is made entirely of foam. It contains no latex or harmful chemicals. The top layer is ISO 20743 certified, confirming its antibacterial properties. 

Breathable cover: water-resistant and removable by zipper. Machine washable. 

Antimicrobial comfort layer (1 inch): ISO 20743-certified antimicrobial foam. The top layer prevents the proliferation of microbes and mites. In addition to promoting healthy sleep, it guarantees a longer mattress life. 

Transition layer (2 inches): the middle layer is made of aerated foam, which effectively isolates movement and vibration within the mattress. This material also facilitates air circulation. The result: a more stable mattress that's always fresh. 

Support layer (7 inches): this base layer provides incomparable support and reinforcement. Made up of millions of foam cells, it redistributes weight evenly, for exceptional comfort.

The structure of the IKEA AMSOSEN mattress is relatively simple: it consists of three foam layers, one of which is memory foam. 

It's important to note that the AMSOSEN mattress is the only IKEA mattress to contain fiberglass, a potentially hazardous material. 

This mattress is equipped with a non-water-repellent, zippered cover. 

A comfort layer in viscoelastic foam is enhanced by a gel layer that preserves freshness. 

The transition layer in memory foam reduces pressure and facilitates relaxation.

A thick, soft foam support layer offers greater comfort.

The Origin 2.0 mattress features a lightweight, water-resistant, breathable cover. The cover is easily removable for washing. 

For our water test, we poured around 2 cups of water onto the mattress surface. The water was instantly repelled by the water-repellent cover and drained directly onto the floor. The remaining liquid was wiped away, leaving no trace. To have a full waterproof protection, we would suggest adding our waterproof mattress protector.

The IKEA AMSOSEN mattress is not equipped with a water-repellent cover, making it vulnerable to moisture and liquids. 

Our water test on this mattress is unequivocal: any water spilled was immediately absorbed, showing that the mattress is not resistant to liquids.

The Origin 2.0 mattress is designed to effectively limit motion transfer and disturbance caused by sudden movements.

To carry out this test, we placed a glass of wine upright on the mattress. Then, one of our employees jumped onto the bed. Result: the wine glass remained upright.

The IKEA AMSOSEN mattress limits movement transfer fairly well but less effectively than the Origin 2.0 mattress. 

Our wine glass test was fairly conclusive: the glass didn't fall. On the other hand, our tester's jumps created significant movement, which almost destabilized him.

The Origin 2.0 mattress benefits from fairly sturdy edges capable of absorbing weight with relative efficiency. 

For this test, our testers simply sat on the edges of the mattress. The edges provided good weight support. 

However, if edge support is particularly important to you, we recommend the Polysleep Mattress with a support frame.

The IKEA AMSOSEN mattress has very little edge support. It is, therefore, more likely to sag and lose firmness over time. 

Our test showed that the edges of this mattress sagged immediately under the weight of our tester.
