Which mattress fits on a loft bed?

For a loft bed you should always pay attention to the right height of the mattress, it shouldn't be too high, otherwise there's the risk that your child might fall out of the bed.

Since mattresses for loft beds should not be too high, we recommend mattresses with a maximum height of 12cm, such as ÅFJÄLL in medium firm, because growing children should only sleep on medium firm mattresses.

Some of our loft beds have markings that indicate how high the mattress can be. These markings can be found at the foot of the bed or on the side, at the top of the ladder.
