We recently bought the Ikea 'Kritter' toddler bed frame but we didn't get the mattress as it was really thin/spongy/crap. Has anyone had any luck finding a toddler mattress? The mattress would have to be 160x70cm (most cot beds are 130x70).
I get the feeling we will have to return it and get a single bed :( bah
:bump::bump:
Any one?
I have heard that the Ikea beds are funny sizes, which kinda forces you to buy their mattresses. You might be able to get a mattress made specifically for you at a bed shop that makes their own stuff.
You could go to sowmehre like Clarks who cut foam to size but it wouldn't be a proper sprung mattress. I really think a single bed is a better investment, as they last them for a long time. We bought a fairly decent mattress from Sydney's and a bed from Bed Shed for Iz recently and it didn't cost all that much all up and will last a long time.
i'd probably go for the single bed...
that said, as a PP mentioned Clark rubber do foam mattresses, which when the kids are small and lightweight do really well for the course of time that it would be used.
bah I think you guys are right. I have a love/hate relationship with ikea :( Back it goes this weekend I think. thanks guys
Maybe you can find a single there instead ;) xoxo
We got the extendible bed from Ikea, it starts off as a toddler bed and you can make it bigger as they grow, we were going to buy a single bed mattress but as you said their sizes are all weird, so we just got the inner spring mattress that goes with the bed, it's very comfortable.
