IKEA 903.057.04 Childrens Sleep Bed

Time for a new bed?

Children are constantly on the move, learning new things, experimenting and playing. That’s why they need a safe place where they can rest and sleep while they process all the impressions from an active day. At this age they’ve probably outgrown their crib, and a bed for adults seems much too big. This is when a children’s bed is perfect. Just the right size to feel snug, cozy and safe.

A high standard of accuracy has been sought in the preparation of this buying guide. We apologize for, but will not be bound by or responsible for, errors and omissions in this buying guide.

EXTENDABLE BEDS

Suitable for children age 3+

A bed that grows. The length is adjustable as the child grows taller. At IKEA, we say these beds ‟grow with the child,” i.e., the width remains the same, but the length can be adjusted. For a young child, a small, cozy bed is comforting after graduating from the crib. And since an extendable bed is like having three sizes in one, it is a good environmental choice as well.

GOOD TO KNOW

1. Non-toxic materials and surface treatment
2. Slatted bed base for good air circulation
3. Rounded edges and corners
4. Stable, durable construction
5. Strong bed base

MATTRESSES

Like IKEA mattresses for adults, children’s mattresses are well ventilated to allow the airflow needed to prevent moisture and mold build-up. Most of our outer mattress covers are washable.

IKEA children’s mattresses come in different comfort choices. A mattress needs to be firm enough for the needs of growing bodies, but soft and comfortable on top. All our mattresses are made of safe, durable materials. Free from harmful chemicals and  well-ventilated, they provide a healthy and comfortable sleeping environment for your child.

HOW TO CHOOSE A MATTRESS

To find the right mattress for your child, here are some things to consider:

1. Foam or spring?
   We offer a variety of different mattresses. Deciding if you want a foam or a spring mattress for your child will help you to narrow down your choice considerably.

2. Your budget
   We have mattresses to fit every budget — from basic mattresses to mattresses made with high-quality materials. But you can be sure that every one of them is designed with your child’s safety and healthy sleep as first priority. We never compromise on children’s safety.

3. Identify individual needs
   Size: Are you buying a mattress for an extendable bed or a junior bed? As the extendable bed ‟grows” with the child in three steps, the mattress comes in three pieces; just add a part when you extend the bed.
   Time: How many years do you think your child will use the mattress? If you want to use the same mattress from the early years well into childhood, a thicker and more durable mattress will provide better support as your child grows.

4. Choose your mattress
   On the following pages you will find all of our children’s mattresses, along with detailed facts for each.
   Air circulation: All children’s mattresses promote good air flow, thanks to carefully considered choices in materials and construction.

Suitable for children age 3–6 years with mattress at the bottom

This bed is space-saving and also grows with the child: As the child gets older and has more possessions and activities, the space underneath makes room for them.

BUNK BEDS AND LOFT BEDS

Suitable for children from 6 years of age

Bunk beds have sleeping for two — an upper bunk and a lower bunk. Loft beds provide sleeping for one, with space underneath for storage, play or study. Both are twin beds. Only children over age 6 should sleep in the top bunk. The top bed has a solid guard rail at a good height for the safety of the top sleeper. Minimal gaps in the rail ensure that the child cannot fall out. But the guard rail loses its function if the mattress it too high up in the bed to make the guard rail protective. So use a mattress that is the right thickness for a loft bed or top bunk.

BUNK BED ADVICE

Children need a lot of sleep. It’s important for their physical and mental development. Check your child’s sleeping environment regularly to prevent accidents, so that both you and your child can get a good night’s sleep.

Bunk beds are safe and fun. Children enjoy the fun and coziness of a bunk bed. They also like moving around in bed after lights out. That’s why we have strict construction requirements and test all our bunk beds carefully, to make sure that they’re strong, durable and safe enough for your child.

Why a bunk bed?
The best thing about a bunk bed is that it takes up less floor space than two single beds. Most children also experience a greater sense of security when they get to share a bed with a sibling or friend, hear someone else’s breathing or have a quiet talk before falling asleep.

What can you expect from our bunk beds?

The safety of your child is our top priority. That’s why we fulfill all applicable safety requirements and testing standards. This is what you can expect from our bunk beds:

• Stable and durable construction made from non-harmful materials.
• That the space between the guard rails has been sized to prevent a child from slipping through.
• Evenly placed ladder steps to make climbing up and down easier.
• An opening, which decreases the risk of falling off the top bunk.
• Steady bases with sturdy attachments that keep the mattresses in place and prevent the top bunk from coming loose.

Here’s a checklist to guide you:

• Children below the age of 6 years should not sleep in the top bunk as the safety standards for bunk beds are based on the average weight and size of a 6-year-old child.
• Always use a mattress that is sized for the bunk bed. The total mattress thickness may not pass the safety marking on/at the top of the ladder.
• Ensure that your child always uses the ladder to climb into the top bunk, not chairs or other items.
• Explain to your child that playing in and around the bed can be dangerous due to the risk of falling.
• Remember to attach any loose cords to the wall to avoid your child getting caught.
• Avoid all types of cords, belts, hooks and handles close to the bunk bed, as your child could get caught in them. This also applies to toys.
• Regularly check guard rails, slats, steps and fittings to make sure that nothing is broken or needs fastening. Replace or tighten any broken or loose pieces immediately.
