Description
From mouth tape to weighted blankets – people are obsessed with getting a good night’s rest. But in today’s world of influencers and AI-generated reviews, it’s hard to know what actually works. So to prove that getting a satisfying sleep starts with getting a good (and affordable) mattress, IKEA set out to take a fresh approach to customer testimonials.
In a first-of-its-kind social experiment, IKEA invited real sleep talkers to sleep on their mattresses on location in the IKEA North York store, gathering real-time reviews through the ultimate sign of a deep sleep – sleep talking.
Capturing every mumble, grumble, and snore, the recordings served as genuine product reviews, proving just how well you can sleep on an IKEA mattress.
This professional campaign titled 'Sleep Talk Reviews' was published in Canada in July, 2025. It was created for the brand: IKEA Canada, by ad agency: Rethink. This 360° medium campaign is related to the Household Products and Other industries and contains 1 media asset. It was submitted 4 months ago.
