Evidence suggests checking first

Firmness is personal and a marketed label is not an independent measurement.

Construction evidenceComponents documented; layer order not established

The reviewed sources name 3 components for IKEA VALEVÅG, but do not support one reliable top-to-bottom sequence. No cut-open layer stack is shown because that would imply evidence we do not have.

Editorial synthesis

Evidence behind the conclusion

Analysis

IKEA VALEVÅG: Current U.S. product; other firmness selectors remain on this family page.

Pocket-spring mattress with materials published on the current U.S. product page. IKEA provides unusually specific textile and foam material tables on some SKUs, but those details are not transferred to a sibling product or another market. Firmness selectors stay on one model dossier unless IKEA publishes a materially different construction under a separate identity. U.S. and overseas specifications are not assumed equivalent. No configuration-matched overall score was found, so the gap is published instead of filled with an estimate.

Who the cited evidence may support

These are research signals, not a comfort guarantee.

Readers comparing the published medium firm choices and pocket-spring mattress architecture.
Shoppers who want official claims separated from outside findings and unresolved details.

What to check before choosing

These limitations may change whether the mattress fits.

Firmness is personal and a marketed label is not an independent measurement.
Dealer, retailer, market, and generation differences can prevent evidence transfer.

Confidence statement

High confidence in the documented identity and canonical boundary; moderate confidence in the public construction outline; low confidence in undisclosed quantities and configuration-matched long-term outcomes.

Performance evidence matrix

A result describes a particular test method and sample. When reputable reviewers disagree, this file records the disagreement instead of inventing a consensus score.

Forensic Sleep Mechanics • coil deflection

Body Mass Load:

Shoulder: 28mm / Lumbar: 18mm

Zoned Biomechanics (Hooke's Law): Differential wire gauges isolate body mass zones. While plush 16.0 AWG coils allow deep shoulder contouring (28mm), reinforced 14.5 AWG lumbar springs resist pelvic rotation under heavy loads, arresting sag at 30mm to maintain neutral lordotic alignment (Δy ≈ 0).

Simulated Hooke’s law pocket coil deflection across anatomical body load distributions.
