Interested in our Wave crib and not sure if it’s the right fit for your nursery? Here we’ll explore all the questions you might have during each stage of your purchase: during the buying process, after purchasing and after delivery!
Pre-Purchase
The Wave crib is a 3-in-1 convertible crib. Designed to grow with your baby, it easily converts from a mini-crib, to a full crib to a toddler bed.
The Wave crib now comes in three colors - natural wood, white, or walnut!
The Wave crib is made from sustainably-harvested solid Brazilian pine, and the mattress support is made of eco-engineered wood.
Greenguard Gold Certified.
Nestig meets and exceeds the safety standards set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and ASTM International, most recently the ASTM F833-15 standard. We’ve also taken our commitment to safety one step further by testing and certifying our products with the Juvenile Product Manufacturers Association (JPMA) whose requirements go above and beyond the mandatory governmental requirements. The Juvenile Products Manufacturing Association certifies that both our cribs are non-toxic and that they have a high mechanical quality.
For materials and chemicals, safety in both the construction and paints/finishes is our top priority. When we use eco-engineered wood or glue, we always use TSCA Title VI compliant materials. This means that our products comply with the strictest formaldehyde standards.
All wood used on our cribs comes from reforested areas in Brazil that are maintained by our suppliers. We work with wood suppliers that are FSC certified, which adds an additional assurance that the wood came from a responsible source with minimal impact to the environment. There is also no fire retardant used on the crib.
We use a clear coat of finishing in our products to maintain the quality of wood over time. Our finishings and paints come from top-quality brands and meet all US safety requirements.
Each crib purchase includes a mini mattress, but not a full size crib mattress.
Our mini cribs are a custom size, as a result, we include a mini mattress. The Wave mini crib mattress measures 27.5” x 22.5” x 2”. This hypoallergenic mini mattress is made in Brazil from 100% polyurethane foam with a non-removable 100% polyester cover. It contains no lead or phthalates. It is designed with a newborn baby in mind and complies with all US safety and toxicity regulations.
Please note: The included mini-mattress is not waterproof, so we recommend using a mattress protector.
Nestig does not include a full crib mattress with the crib purchase so you will need to purchase one. The good news is, both our Wave full cribs and toddler beds are designed to be compatible with any standard-sized full crib mattress, therefore you only need to buy one! If you’re interested, we have three different full crib mattresses available on our site.
Nestig has partnered with Lullaby Earth to create an extra-breathable premium option, which is available as an add-on. This 2" thick mini-mattress is made from food-grade materials, includes a removable breathable cover, and also has a waterproof backing. If breathability is at the top of your list, we recommend getting the upgraded mini-mattress.
Mini crib: 31” length x 24.5" width x 31.5" height
Full crib: 54.3" length x 31" width x 31.5" height
Toddler bed: 54.3" length x 31" width x 29” height
Please note: Both the mini-crib and full crib can be used with wheels. The toddler bed does not use wheels.
The Wave mini and full cribs have three adjustable heights. However, for the mini-crib, we’ve noticed that most parents use the top height, but any of them are safe for your little one.
The Wave toddler bed is designed to be Montessori-style and sits very close to the floor. Unlike the mini-crib and full crib, the Wave toddler bed does not have adjustable heights.
Here are the heights for each crib as measured from the ground to the top of the mattress support (with wheels on for mini & full cribs):
Mini Crib Mattress Support Heights
Lowest: 5.2" from the ground
Medium: 10.7" from the ground
Highest: 16.2" from the ground
Please note: A 2” thick mattress will sit on top of the mattress support!
Full Crib Mattress Support Heights
Lowest: 5.2" from the ground
Medium: 10.7" from the ground
Highest: 16.2"from the ground
Please note: A 6” thick mattress will sit on top of the mattress support
Toddler Bed Mattress Support Height
3” from the ground
Please note: A 6” thick mattress will sit on top of the mattress support!
The Wave toddler bed is designed to be Montessori-style and therefore does not have leg options. While the mini-crib and full crib can be used with wheels, these are optional! You can also place the crib directly on the floor in each stage. As for rails, the side rails that come with the Wave are slightly elevated which helps keep a child from rolling out. Because of this, we don't sell additional rails for the Wave toddler bed.

Post Purchase
Our cribs ship from Brazil via FedEx air. Shipping generally takes 7-10 days. The Wave crib crib ships in 2 boxes. The first volume includes everything you need for the mini-crib, including the mini-mattress and the second volume includes the full crib and toddler bed conversion kits. While we ship both boxes together, it is not uncommon for the boxes to be separated and delivered a couple of days apart from one another.
The list below lists all the pieces included in each box:
Box 1 | Mini Crib
Mini-mattress
2x Headboard
2x Mini Side Panels
1x Mini Mattress Support
Mini and full crib hardware kit
Box 2 | Full Crib / Toddler bed
2x Side Panels
1x Mattress Support
2x Rails
Toddler bed hardware kit
You will need to use the same hardware from the mini-crib assembly when you convert to the full crib.
Our mini cribs are a custom size, so a standard bassinet sheet will not fit. However, our beautiful line of Nestig sheets are designed to fit both our mini cribs perfectly! They come in sets of two and are made of 100% GOTS and OEKO-TEX® certified organic jersey-knit cotton. Explore more here!
Additionally, our full cribs and toddler beds are designed to be compatible with any standard size full crib mattress, therefore any standard size full crib sheets will fit.
We recommend that you assemble your crib 1-2 months before your baby’s arrival. This way, we have plenty of time to help you troubleshoot any unforeseen issues. Additionally, if the baby decides to come early, you’ll be all set with a crib for their arrival!
The Wave crib is fairly easy to assemble. It takes roughly 30 minutes to assemble the mini crib, and 20 minutes to assemble both the full crib and toddler bed.
The mini crib is recommended for ages 0-6 months. However, we have seen parents switch to the full crib anywhere between 3-6 months depending on how fast their baby is growing.
Once you transition to the full crib, we recommend switching to the toddler bed once your child begins to climb or reaches 35 inches (See below for the recommended ages for switching the mattress support height!).
We recommend you transition away from the toddler bed once your child's weight exceeds 50 pounds.
We recommend switching to the middle mattress support height once your baby is able to sit up independently and has begun to crawl.
We recommend switching to lower mattress support height once your baby starts to be able to stand on their own.
After this, you can continue to use the lowest mattress support position until your baby reaches 35" tall or begins to be able to climb, in which case it's time to convert to the toddler bed!
