IKEA Baby Sleep Cots, Mattresses and Accessories
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 cots are rigorously tested to ensure they meet the strictest safety
standards that exist in the world. Our cots 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 cot mattress range. Every
single one of our firm, well-ventilated cot 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 cots and mattresses around the
world. Cots for the Australian market are tested by test laboratories in
Australia and comply with Australian standard: AS/NZS 2172-2010 Cots for
Household Use Safety Requirements or the Australian Consumer Protection Notice
for Household Cots No. 6 of 2005. Mattresses.
If you want to learn more about a specific safety or test standard, please
contact Standards Australia.
How are our cots tested?
All our cots 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 cot base are measured. The cot 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 cot base is also tested. For example, in a test for the European
market, we subject the cot base to impact from a 10 kg weight that is dropped
1,000 times from five different positions.
The same or similar tests are made on cot bases for cots 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 cot base to avoid fungal growth.
- Strong cot 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.

Identify individual needs
Both you and your baby will sleep better if you use a cot for the baby. A cot
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 cot helps your baby feel sheltered and
protected.
In our selection you can find cots with a traditional touch or cots 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 cots are designed so that one side can be removed
when the baby is big enough to climb into/out of the cot, transforming it into
a bed.
1. When the baby is very small the base can be placed at the higher position.
2. As soon as the baby starts to sit by themselves, place the base at the
lower position.
3. When the child is big enough to climb into the bed, one cot side can be
removed.

How to choose a cot 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 cot mattresses allows air to flow freely, promoting good air circulation and a favourable sleeping climate. A protective f 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 cot 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 cot 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 cots. -
Choose your mattress
On the following pages you will find all of our baby mattresses on offer, along with detailed facts for each.
Good to know
- All our cot mattresses are firm, to provide a safe sleeping environment for your baby.
- All mattresses provide some pressure relief, because they are made with materials like pocket springs or high resilience foam.
- Well ventilated cover for better air circulation.
- All children´s mattresses promote good air flow, thanks to carefully considered choices in materials and construction.
- Removable and machine-washable covers to create a hygienic sleeping environment for your baby
All cot mattresses and prices
All our cot mattresses are made of safe, durable materials. Free from harmful
chemicals and well-ventilated, they all provide a safe and comfortable
sleeping environment for your baby. Some have handles that simplify making the
bed. The materials have various properties. Foam is elastic and distributes
your baby’s body weight evenly. So does high resilience foam, but it also
regains its shape faster and lasts longer. Spring mattresses have wrapped
pocket springs that follow the baby’s movements exactly.
For your baby´s safety, always use the same size on cot and mattress to avoid
gaps that the baby´s head could become trapped in.
