Cots and beds

Ikea beds with gro store toddler bedding?

Has anyone used the bro store toddler bedding where the duvet zips onto the sheet? I think it looks fab especially as my LO flies around all night and by her own admission 'likes her bars'. I need to move her out of her cot (she's over 2.5!) for her sister so she is having a 'big bed' and going straight to a single as will soon outgrow a cot bet.

I want to get a bed form Ikea which have european dimensions and therefore the gro stuff in theory doesn't fit, or does it? they say fits up to 190cm and ikea beds are 200cm, not sure to risk it?!

does anyone have any experience of using uk sized bedding on ikea beds?

I need to order all of this asap to coincide with our move (new house, new bed) so thanks for any advice!

IKEA beds are moving into UK sizes atm, so you might find you can buy it as a UK single instead. Which bed is it?

Oh i forgot to mention that i'm not actually in the UK... currently in Paris moving to Switzerland in July so would be unlikely to find a UK ikea version sadly...

So near and yet so far.... sorry!

Okay wrt to generally using UK sizes - it's going to be the length that's the issue - widths on the singles are the same, so it'll depend on how generous the sizing is and what give there is on the material. Sheet for a deeper mattress for example might give enough play to stretch the extra 10cm. That's a bit of a meh answer really, but hopefully it'll bump it up so someone with more experience sees Smile
