But you can only use the Ikea mattress with it. She buys normal twin sized sheets and just tucks the excess under the mattress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-extendable-toddler-bed#post-1798844 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 10:04:55 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1798844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're thinking about getting one as well. Looking forward to reading more responses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-extendable-toddler-bed#post-1798833 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 10:02:15 +0000 teamjse 1798833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Ikea bed you posted a link of. On the shortest position, the only mattress that will work is from Ikea. DH was extremely hesitant of getting an Ikea mattress since its not as thick as a traditional mattress. Lo doesn't seem to care. Link below of the mattress we bought.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40155071/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/40155071/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-extendable-toddler-bed#post-1798723 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 09:18:58 +0000 regberadaisy 1798723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: I think it's going to be too wide for a crib mattress. They're sized more of a twin width. Standard crib mattress is 51.625" x 27.25" (generic mattress on Walmart) and the minimum dimension on that bed is 50 x 38. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-extendable-toddler-bed#post-1798678 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 09:05:13 +0000 bpcmarj 1798678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Here is one option, though there are many extendable ones.</p> <p><a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S59042215/#/S79028614" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/S59042215/#/S79028614</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-extendable-toddler-bed#post-1798672 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 09:02:40 +0000 regberadaisy 1798672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bpcmarj: can you link to the bed you're thinking about? I was there last week and we walked through the toddler furniture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-extendable-toddler-bed#post-1798668 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 09:01:03 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1798668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have it but I was in IKEA this past weekend looking at their reversible bed. I looked at the extendable bed and I thought it was really cute but I did notice that the mattress was quite square. I don't think a crib mattress would fit, but I didn't take measurements. I remember thinking that we would have to buy a special mattress for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ikea-extendable-toddler-bed#post-1798620 Tue, 05 Aug 2014 08:47:33 +0000 bpcmarj 1798620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have any of the extendable toddler bed frames from Ikea? Would a crib mattress work with in while it is in the shortest position or would it be too slim? I am trying to decide between converting our crib to toddler bed (which I don't love as an option because of the way that it converts) or buying a bedframe from Ikea. I am having a hard time being able to tell what type of mattress they use online and Ikea is an our away! </p>
