Anyone have an Ikea crib?
What kind of mattress did you get with it?
The Ikea website says to use a 27.5 x 52" mattress, but I can't find any mattresses that size other than the Ikea ones, and we want to get an organic mattress (which Ikea ones aren't).

Re: Anyone have an Ikea crib?
I do not have an Ikea crib. We got Jenny Lind crib instead... not much more on price.
In googling, I came across someone that has this mattress, which fits snuggly in the Ikea crib. Maybe see if you can find an organic mattress the same size as that one. I think it is just a standard size mattress.
PAIF and SAIF welcome. IVF questions welcome, too.
Babies R Us has a few that would fit Ikea cribs. There's a whole bunch more than the links I posted.

Awesome, thanks! I was looking on Amazon and couldn't find any for some reason...

I was considering getting a gray one, but then painted the bottom half of the walls gray and decided a white crib would look better. I do like the Ikea cribs, though! And this was all in the last house so I am now starting over with the walls here LOL.
