Safety is our top priority
Children’s safety is always our highest priorityOur 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 European market are tested by test laboratories in Europe and comply with European standard EN 716-1. Mattresses in the European market comply with EN 16890, a requirement specified by the European Committee for Standardization, Comate European de Normalization (CEN).In Australia, if you want to learn more about a specific safety or test standard, please contact the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
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.
How to choose a cot
Identify individual needsBoth 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 babyDifferent 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.

How to choose a cot mattress
- Choose your materials Choose between sprung or foam. All materials are safe and hygienic. If you are unsure ask yourself: what type of mattress do you prefer to sleep on?Sprung mattresses: The sprung mattresses are made with a pocket sprung construction. The construction of sprung cot mattresses allows air to flow freely, promoting good air circulation and a favorable sleeping climate. A protective foam 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 needsHow 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.
