IKEA crib mattresses adhere to US safety standards

While many crib mattresses are sold in the US and can be used with any brand of crib, there is a problem with some of these mattresses. These mattresses don't always meet US safety standards and may have gaps larger than two fingers. The company has announced a recall on certain mattresses and is urging parents to return them if they notice a gap.

IKEA crib mattresses are made from skin-friendly and sustainable materials. They are also made with a removable outer cover that is machine-washable. This prevents dust mites from entering the mattress and is safe for babies with sensitive skin. Additionally, the cribs have lead-free stain and a three-position mattress height.

Crib mattresses from IKEA follow strict safety standards. They are water-resistant and breathable, reducing the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. This is especially important for your child's health and well-being.

Rectangular or square crib mattresses

When buying a crib mattress, it is important to make sure that it fits properly in the crib. It should be snug and not interfere with any of the features of the crib. You can measure the size of your crib's interior length and width with a tape measure.

The firmness of the mattress is important, as soft mattresses can cause your child to suffocate or get stuck. A firm mattress is safer for a baby, and you can determine its firmness by pressing the center of the mattress or its edges. A firm mattress snaps back with minimal pressure and provides resistance as your child learns to push up, roll over, and stand.

In North America, a full size crib mattress must be at least 27 inches long by 51 inches wide, and not more than six inches thick. However, if your baby is still an infant, you can choose a slightly wider and longer mattress.

Moses Basket crib mattresses

There are a few options available for a standard Moses Basket crib mattress size. One option is a lambswool mattress. These are naturally hypoallergenic and help regulate body temperature. They are also naturally anti-bacterial and anti-fungal. All our mattresses are made in Great Britain and tested to the highest quality standards.

Another option is to buy a custom-made bassinet mattress. These are available in a wide range of sizes and can take three weeks to manufacture. You should choose a mattress size that will provide a comfortable and safe sleeping surface for your baby. You can also choose a bassinet sheet to use with your custom-made mattress. Babu oval bassinet sheets are another good option.

If you choose a standard Moses basket mattress, make sure it is not too thin. It should be around five centimeters thick. In addition, it should be about 66 or 75 cm long and at least 28 cm wide. The width and length of the mattress should be matched, meeting in the middle. Make sure the handles of the mattress are folded outside the basket to prevent them from falling on the baby.
