Will VÅGSTRANDA Pocket spring mattress, medium firm/white, Queen fit in a Skoda Octavia 2013?

For a car this size the Octavia boot is long. Seats up you get 43¾″ of floor, more than most family hatchbacks, with an opening 36⅝″ wide and a generous 33⅛″ tall. The narrow point measures 39¾″, so wide boxes clear comfortably. Fold the rear bench and the floor reaches 73⅝″, a gain of 29⅞″, which takes most long flat-pack cartons. The sill sits 28″ up with a 7⅞″ drop to the floor, so there is a step down inside. Push long boxes right to the front and they settle below the lip.

VÅGSTRANDA ships as one box, and it is a heavy one: 65¾″ × 17¾″ × 17¼″ at 109 lb 6 oz. IKEA rolls and compresses the queen mattress, so instead of a floppy slab you get a short, dense block that two people can carry and one person will regret. The length is friendly; the weight is the problem, and the box gives you no handles. Most hatchbacks take it with the rear seats folded, and a wagon or SUV swallows it without drama. Load it last, on its side, so it slides straight out at home, and keep the wrapping sealed until the bedroom: once it expands, it never rolls back up.
