Full script of the ad IN ENGLISH, REGARDLESS OF THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE OF THE AD
ANN1: If you had a comfy IKEA Sultan mattress, you’d wake up like a morning person - even if you’re so not.
MVO: (Singing) Hey, it’s a great morning
Uh wait, why I’m singin'?
Something's wrong!
Everything I say comes out in a song
I better call my doctor
Maybe he can recommend a specialist!
ANN2: Get 20% off IKEA Sultan mattresses and box springs.
IKEA. Any space can be beautiful.
MVO: I just heard a lady’s voice in my brain!
Brief Explanation
In a market dominated by expensive, brand-name mattresses, it was critical for IKEA to convince people that it had a good quality product that would provide people with the same benefit.
The world is divided into 'morning people' and not morning people. When it comes time to get up and face the day, it’s never easy for a non-morning person. Perhaps if they slept on an IKEA mattress, they might see what they’ve been missing.
