Changing Tables

Changing table pads

July 2001

Does anyone know where to get smaller (European?) size foam pads for changing tables? I recently purchased a changing table from Ikea which has smaller dimensions than the ones that I've seen here. I'm looking for a pad that would fit a 28x29 space (most pads I've seen are 33 in length). I'm not crazy about the fitted pads that Ikea has for sale with the tables, I'd like something a bit more sturdy, without the inflatable sides. Promita

I too have an Ikea changing table and had a difficult time finding a nice thick pad. I ended up getting a piece of foam from a Beverly Fabrics that I cut to the size of the changing table and then bought a standard size, thin, terry cloth changing table pad with a foam bumper edging that I put on top of the cut foam piece. This protects the foam pad (the terry pad is washable), makes a nice soft thick surface, and the bumper edging keeps my squirmy son from bumping his head on the wood and metal pieces of the table. I think I spent probably around $20.00 total. Good luck. Jeanette
