Anyone been to Ikea recently?

Does anyone know if we're allowed to test out chairs and mattresses, sit on them etc? Or is it like a safari where you just wonder about looking and no touchy.

Ta!

Went a couple of weeks ago, no problem sitting on/lying on/touching whatever you liked including all the other people crammed in there. If you're worried about social distancing I wouldn't recommend it, otherwise it's pretty much BAU.

Cheers mate, not worried about the distancing just need a new chair and mattress badly!

Nice one

I want to go for a Markus chair, nope, completely sold out.

That's what I'm looking for, hope there are some to test!

If you’re buying an IKEA mattress for a double bed, get one of their mattress toppers.

Cheers mate, I'm looking for the firmest bed I can find on a bit of a budget, but only need it to last 6 months or so.

Those of you who had a bad experience there in terms of crowds, was that just weekends?

I went a few weeks back, it was mainly at the tills where it was rammed, this was a weekday evening.
As for mattresses, we have the hamarvik(sp?) and would recommend it.

That's actually one that I was looking at. I'm looking for a proper firm one, my back is ****** from 10 years of Nursing and need firm otherwise wake up in so much pain. Cheers for any advice!
