- IKEA’s new Natbadd Bluetooth speaker is available in three color settings
- It has Spotify Tap and Multi speaker pairing, and costs $ 49.99 / £ 29
- IKEA has also announced a lamp with an integrated speaker
IKEA has launched a cute Bluetooth speaker in three color settings: Black, pink and yellow. It is designed to match your home decor and it is very small: only 7 inches tall and slightly under five inches wide.
The speaker, called Nattbadd (below), is designed to look like an old radio and has two particularly useful features: Spotify Tap for immediate listening, and the ability to pair multiples to fill your home with sound.
Spotify Tap is a practical shortcut (typically found on headphones) that allows you to resume a listening session where you left off, just by pressing the device. Thanks to Nightbadd’s very low price price brand – $ 49.99 in the US and £ 29 in the UK – it shouldn’t break more speakers either.
This is also not the only new speaker from Ikea. It is also advertised the brilliant named flowering (below), a lamp with an integrated speaker and an exciting design: its top is off-center and tilted to give directional light. It will be launched in October 2025, but unfortunately pricing has not been confirmed yet.
The two new speakers are just the start of a big smart home push from Ikea, with whole bunch of other case-compatible products that are also incoming.
Ikea goes all out on fabric
The new speakers are part of a renewed smart home push that Ikea’s manufactures, and in January 2026 the retailer says it will launch over 20 new smart home products.
It is significant that they are all compatible with Matter, Smart Home Standard and that means you can use them not only with IKEA’s own smart home node like Matter-Compatible Dirrea, but with many other third-party Matter controllers.
As Range Manager David Granath explains, “Our goal is to make the smart home easy to use, easy to understand and within reach of the many.” Matter’s simplicity and broad compatibility are an important part of it, and Ikea’s wholehearted support for the standard is likely to help make it much more popular.
Ikea also launches a collaboration with Swedish designer Tekla Severin, alias Teklan, in January. The Homeware giant announced the Teklan series in January, but said the entire range would not launch until “early 2026”. Well, it’s been a little more specific about it now, but it’s a shame that they don’t land in time for Christmas socks.
Still, Nightbadd is available from Ikea now and we’re looking to try it soon to see how it compares to the surprisingly good Vappeby Bluetooth speaker (which is even cheaper for $ 15 / £ 12 / AU $ 22).
