Buy Furniture Accessories — Guide& Tips
In the "Furniture Accessories" category (45 items) you will find everything that complements the nursery and makes it more functional. The largest area is mattresses for baby cribs and playpens. Decisive are material and safety: Breathable, pollutant-tested cold foam or comfort foam cores support your baby's spine and reduce the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Pay attention to the EN 16890 standard. Standard sizes such as 70×140 cm or 60×120 cm fit most beds; always measure the sleeping area before buying. A removable, washable cover facilitates hygiene – ideally made of cotton or microfiber with dust mite protection for allergy sufferers.
Special Playpen Mattresses are often thinner and firmer to provide a safe standing surface in the playpen. Most have dimensions of 90×90 cm or 90×100 cm and a non-slip base. In addition, there are Baby Mattresses for the regular bed – here you can choose between different firmness levels. For travel or as a second bed, compact travel beds with matching mattresses are suitable. Also mesh bumpers, canopy, and side guards fall into this category; they should be breathable and securely attached. Invest in quality: A high-quality baby crib mattress often accompanies your child for several years. Regular airing and a protective cover as a fitted sheet extend its lifespan and ensure a healthy sleeping environment.
Popular Furniture Accessories
Träumeland Premium Wirbelwind 70×140
Breathable cold foam mattress with spine relief, cover washable at 60 °C. Ideal for standard baby cribs.
Quax Yume Baby Crib Mattress 140×70
Anti-allergic, dust mite protection, washable up to 95 °C. Particularly easy-care for allergy families.
These two models represent different requirements: The Träumeland Premium Wirbelwind relies on high-quality cold foam and breathability – a good choice if you value climate regulation. The Quax Yume is specially developed for allergy sufferers and extremely easy-care thanks to boil-wash capability. Both are available in the popular size 70×140 cm and fit most baby cribs. When purchasing, pay attention to the mattress height: some mattresses are thicker (approx. 14 cm) and raise the baby higher. Also check whether the cover is removable and washable at high temperatures – this makes cleaning easier when soiled. For playpens, it is better to use special playpen mattresses, which are firmer and flatter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which mattress size fits my baby crib?
Measure the inside dimensions of the bed frame precisely. In Germany, standard sizes are 70×140 cm or 60×120 cm. With sidecar cribs, you often find special sizes like 50×90 cm. The mattress should have no more than 2 cm gap to the frame so that your baby cannot get trapped. For playpens, 90×90 cm or 90×100 cm are common. Check the information on the product page and compare with your measurements.
How often should I replace the baby mattress?
With good care, you can use a baby mattress for up to two years – ideally for one baby. As soon as sagging marks become visible or the mattress is heavily deformed, replace it. Also after mold growth or heavy soiling, it should be replaced. A high-quality mattress often lasts longer, but for each new child we recommend a new mattress to ensure optimal hygiene and support.
Are playpen mattresses different from normal ones?
Yes, they are usually thinner (4–6 cm) and firmer to provide a stable standing surface in the playpen. Normal baby crib mattresses are softer and thicker (10–14 cm) and designed for sleeping. Playpen mattresses must lie securely in the playpen without slipping. Many have a non-slip bottom. You cannot permanently use a playpen mattress as a sleeping mattress because it offers too little support.
What to look for with allergies?
Choose mattresses with mite protection and a cover that can be washed at least 60 °C, preferably 95 °C. Anti-allergic materials like comfort foam with special coatings prevent mite colonization. Look for seals such as 'suitable for dust mite allergy sufferers'.
