Bedside cribs

Hi,

Really struggling to find this information on a lot of next to me/bedside cribs. We have quite a tall divan bed and some of the bedside cribs we have seen don't look like the crib mattress would be in line with our mattress.

I would have thought the websites would state the height of the the cribs up to the mattress but i've only found one crib which detailed each height level!

Am I just not looking in the right place?

Our bed is 68cm from the floor to the top of the mattress... from what I have seen there aren't many cribs up to this height. Ideally we want the crib to also be used as a travel crib.

Any help would be much appreciated!

I remember being really confused about this. The exact measurements are in the handbooks (rather than on the sale websites) and the manufacturer's (snuggle, maxi Cosi, chicco etc) do have these online. However, the cribs are designed so that the baby's mattress sits lower than the parents mattress. I don't know why this is. I had also assumed they would be flush and create one level sleeping space but they don't. I don't know the height of my bed, but I remember it being higher than most was an issue, and we got the Chicco Next2Me Dream.
