Safety and comfort for your little one

quickly. So you can sleep like a baby, too.

comfort. That’s why we designed our cot mattress range. Every single one of our rm,
well-ventilated cot mattresses meet strict safety standards. So it’s not only your little one

Safety is our top priority
Children’s safety is always our highest priority

our own accredited test laboratory in Sweden, as well as at
independent accredited test laboratories and institutes around

IKEA fulls 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

Requirements or the Australian Consumer Protection Notice for
Household Cots No. 6 of 2005. Mattresses.

standard, please contact Standards Australia.
How are our cots tested?
All our cots undergo several dierent tests to ensure they are
safe to use. First, they are inspected for any protruding parts,
loose parts or ttings, 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
ve dierent positions.
The same or similar tests are made on cot bases for cots
on all markets where we are active, but the tests may dier
somewhat, depending on the specic requirements of the
respective country.

How to choose a cot
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 nd cots with a traditional touch or
cots with modern shapes. Choose according to your style so it
ts with your home.
Designed to grow with your baby
Dierent living situations require dierent 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.
