IKEA Baby Sleep Cribs Mattresses and Accessories Instruction Manual
Safety and comfort for your little one
It’s wonderful to be a new parent but it can also be rather worrying. That’s
why our cribs are rigorously tested to ensure they meet the strictest safety
standards that exist in the world. Our cribs are durable and stable, and they
adjust to fit babies as they grow so quickly. So you can sleep like a baby,
too.
For sweet dreams and safe sleeping
No parent should have to choose between affordability and their little one’s
safety and comfort. That’s why we designed our crib mattress range. Every
single one of our firm, well-ventilated crib mattresses meet strict safety
standards. So it’s not only your little one who will be resting well at night.

SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY
Children’s safety is always our highest priority
Our products are designed and tested to comply with all applicable safety
requirements in the countries where the products are sold. We also test all
our children’s products at our own accredited test laboratory in Sweden, as
well as at independent accredited test laboratories and institutes around the
world.
IKEA fulfils the following safety criteria for cribs and mattresses around the world. If you want to learn more about a specific safety or test standard, please contact the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) or the authority that has issued the standard.
How are our cribs tested?
All our cribs undergo several different tests to ensure they are safe to use.
First, they are inspected for any protruding parts, loose parts or fittings,
and sharp edges. Then, all gaps and openings between spindles and the slats in
the crib base are measured. The crib is tested with impact and pressure tests
for strength, stability and durability and to ensure that the spindles will
not twist or rotate from their position and create potentially hazardous
openings. The crib base is also tested. For example, in a test for the
European market, we subject the crib base to impact from a 10 kg (22 lb)
weight that is dropped 1,000 times from five different positions.
The same or similar tests are made on crib bases for cribs on all markets where we are active, but the tests may differ somewhat, depending on the specific requirements of the respective country.
GOOD TO KNOW
- No small components that can be removed, or worked loose, to eliminate the risk of choking.
- Rounded edges and corners.
- Ventilated crib base to avoid fungal growth.
- Strong crib base.
- The gap between the spindles is designed for optimum safety (babies cannot get their head stuck between them).
- Stable, durable construction.
- Non-toxic materials and surface treatment.
HOW TO CHOOSE A CRIB
Identify individual needs
Both you and your baby will sleep better if you use a crib for the baby. A
crib is an enclosed, yet well-ventilated, sleeping environment that your baby
cannot roll out of and will not get too warm or uncomfortable in. Most infants
sleep deeply and are not easily disturbed by noise, voices or music. However,
they do not sleep for long periods at a time and wake up frequently. The
enclosed sleeping environment of a crib helps your baby feel sheltered and
protected.
In our selection you can find cribs with a traditional touch or cribs with
modern shapes. Choose according to your style so it fits with your home.
Designed to grow with your baby
Different living situations require different solutions — but all babies grow
fast. That’s why most of our cribs are designed so that one side can be
removed when the baby is big enough to climb into/out of the crib,
transforming it into a bed.
ALL THE PARTS
All IKEA cribs use a standard US crib mattress (W27½×L52″).
CRIBS
We have a wide variety of cribs in different styles and finishes. No matter which of our cribs you choose, you can be sure of one thing — every detail is well-thought-out. For your baby’s safety, always use the same size crib and mattress to avoid gaps that the baby’s head could become trapped in.

HOW TO CHOOSE A CRIB MATTRESS
-
Choose your materials Choose between spring or foam. All materials are safe and hygienic. If you are unsure ask yourself: what type of mattress do you prefer to sleep on?
Spring mattresses: The spring mattresses are made with a pocket spring construction. The construction of spring crib mattresses allows air to flow freely, promoting good air circulation and a favourable sleeping climate. A protective foam box adds comfort and durability.
Foam mattresses: The foam mattresses use quality polyurethane or high resilience foam, which are well cut, durable and intended for sleeping, therefore making both a safe choice for crib mattresses. High resilience foam is durable, relieves pressure points, and provides comfort and support for your growing baby. -
Identify individual needs How many years do you think you will use your crib mattress? The longer you plan on keeping the same mattress will affect which mattress you should choose. If you want to use the same mattress into the toddler years, a thicker and more durable mattress will provide better support for older babies and toddlers, who like to stand and bounce in their cribs.
