To ask if anyone found a changing mat to fit IKEA Sniglar?

I'm getting a bit frustrated... Can anyone please help?

I got the IKEA Sniglar changing table as it seemed like a nice simple cheap option, but now can't find a changing mat that fits it!

The internal dimensions for the top bit are 47x68 and nothing fits as everything is at least 70cm long.... Even the IKEA Vadra and Skotsam mats don't fit 🙄

I've looked on Amazon, John Lewis, Jojo Mamam Bebe, Mamas and Papas and am going a bit loopy... Did anyone find one? Is this why there's so many Singlar going cheap/free on FB market place?!

Do they still do the inflatable one? Would that one work if you blew it up a bit less and squidged it in?

This is a known strategy by IKEA apparently (a member of staff told me this!), to ensure you buy everything from them. They did the same with a bunk bed I bought my son- the single mattress is off standard size just enough so you can’t shop around. Sorry if that’s unhelpful, I’d like to know so I could stop trying to find one elsewhere (and go mad trying!)

This is the one they use in the images of the change table so I'd assume it fits? Looks like it does in the photos

That's the one I was thinking of - OP it says it's 80cm, but I think that's when it's lying flat, if you put it in the table the sides fold up and over the flat part of the mat.

Thanks - I hadn't thought that the Skotsam measurements might be with the sides folded down, but in the shop it still seemed like a really rubbish mat anyway! Not very durable or wipeable easily, had to buy silly washable covers for it etc...

DH found this which fitted fine, not cheap but lasted well, we went through at least 6 cheaper mats we used on floor downstairs which all tore while this survived on the table upstairs. https://www.boots.com/East-Coast-Wedged-Shaped-Changing-Mat-Mini-Origami-10241531?queueittoken=esale2022uk~qq56bf838a-33fa-46a3-a012-ea3bca354506~ts1674394023~ceetrue~rtsafetynet~hh_98793b2c8c9fa0e1b07b1fdfc6b17c2e21e15d4a0ec540f1a6a5044943b694ce

We had the Sniglar too, and I got a changing pad that said it was 70cm long, but I just re-measured it and it's really only 67cm long ("East Coast Nursery Changing Wedge Mat" , they also have it a Boots) and fit without any issues. Honestly, any mat that says it's 70cm long will fit (they're squishy after all).
