Frequently Asked Questions
Is the IKEA SUNDVIK safe?
Yes — IKEA cribs meet EN 716 European safety standards and US ASTM requirements. They are tested for structural integrity, slat spacing, and material safety. The SUNDVIK is a safe crib; it just doesn't have premium certifications like GREENGUARD Gold.
Do standard US crib mattresses fit the SUNDVIK?
No — the SUNDVIK uses IKEA's standard mattress size (27.5 x 52 inches), which is slightly smaller than US standard (28 x 52 inches). You must use an IKEA mattress or a third-party mattress specifically sized for IKEA cribs.
Can I only buy it at IKEA stores?
The SUNDVIK is sold in IKEA stores and through IKEA's website with home delivery. It's not available on Amazon or other third-party retailers (beware of overpriced resellers).
