Children’s sleep 3+ years
Beds, mattresses and accessories
Time for a new bed?Children are constantly on the move, learning new things, experimenting and playing. That´s why they need a safe place where they can rest and sleep while they process all the impressions from an active day. At this age they´ve probably outgrown their cot, and a single bed seems much too big. This is when a children´s bed is perfect. Just the right size to feel snug, cosy and safe.
All the products (shown here) may not be available at the store. Please check IKEA.com.au or in-store for detailed product information. All units require assembly.
Mattresses
Like IKEA mattresses for adults, children’s mattresses are well ventilated to allow the airflow needed to prevent moisture and mould build-up. Most of our outer mattress covers are washable.
IKEA children’s mattresses come in different comfort choices. A mattress needs to be firm enough for the needs of growing bodies, but soft and comfortable on top. All our mattresses are made of safe, durable materials. Free from harmful chemicals and well-ventilated, they provide a healthy and comfortable sleeping environment for your child.
How to choose a mattress
To find the right mattress for your child, here are some things to consider:
1. Foam or spring?We offer a variety of different mattresses. Deciding if you want a foam or a spring mattress for your child will help you to narrow down your choice considerably.
2. Your budgetWe have mattresses to fit every budget from basic mattresses to mattresses made with high quality materials. But you can be sure that every one of them is designed with your child´s safety and healthy sleep as first priority. We never compromise on children´s safety.
3. Identify individual needsSize: Are you buying a mattress for an extendable bed or a junior bed? As the extendable bed “grows” with the child in three steps, the mattress comes in three pieces: Just add a part when you extend the bed.Time: How many years do you think your child will use the mattress? If you want to use the same mattress from the early years well into childhood, a thicker and more durable mattress will provide better support as your child grows.
4. Choose your mattressOn the following pages you will find all of our children´s mattresses on offer, along with detailed facts for each.
Air circulation: All children´s mattresses promote good air flow, thanks to carefully considered choices in materials and construction.
Care and cleaning

Extendable beds
Suitable for children age 3+
A bed that grows. The length is adjustable as the child grows taller. At IKEA, we say these beds “grow with the child”, i.e., the width remains the same, but the length can be adjusted. For a young child, a small, cosy bed is comforting after graduating from the cot. And since an extendable bed is like having three sizes in one, it is a good environmental choice as well.

Bunk beds and loft beds
Suitable for children from 6 years of age
Bunk beds have sleeping for two an upper bunk and a lower bunk. Loft beds provide sleeping for one, with space underneath for storage, play or study. Both are single beds.Only children over age 6 should sleep in the top bunk. The top bed has a solid guardrail at a good height for the safety of the top sleeper. Minimal gaps in the rail ensure that the child cannot fall out. But the guardrail loses its function if the mattress it too high up in the bed to make the guardrail protective. So use a mattress that is the right thickness for a loft bed or top bunk. Max weight limit for bunk- and loft beds is 100kg.
