Walked out of the store with the medium-firm model because it offered much better spinal alignment and support than the overly plush Valevåg at a great budget price.

Medium-firm version on the floor with a latex topper feels comfortable for me, though it's a bit too soft for tummy-sleeping infant safety guidelines.
Eight months in on the firm version and it's held up very well for a budget pocket-spring bed, though side sleepers will want a mattress topper to cushion the hips.
Adding wool and down-alternative toppers to my queen-size unit for the past year has kept both my partner and me super comfortable.
Great budget-friendly medium-firm mattress that feels comfortable four days into sleeping on it.

It's how well reviewed IKEA VESTERÖY is, out of 100, next to the other mattresses here. Two things go in: how its reviews compare with the best-reviewed product (positive reviews, mixed counting half, and how many reviews there are), and its own negative and mixed reviews, which take points off, so only a product few people are unhappy with scores in the high 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
