Generally speaking, IKEA cribs are safe and remain one of the most sought-after cribs in the world.
Can I Use Any Mattress On IKEA Cribs?
Yes, you can use any other standard mattress on Ikea cribs because the cribs have the standard measurement. Nevertheless, whichever mattress you choose to use must snugly fit in.
I personally like to buy a crib mattress from the same brand where I got the crib. That way, there is no worry about whether it would snugly fit or not.
Therefore, if you can get an IKEA crib mattress, I’d advise you to go for it. But if you have another mattress in mind and it is a standard mattress, you can equally use it.
