IKEA changing unit: Which is the best?

Various models from IKEA are popular with parents as the basis for a changing unit. No wonder, as these chests of drawers are often already available in the home and can be easily converted with a matching changing table topper. These attachments are designed so that they can be securely fastened and offer additional storage space for changing utensils. This means that parents get a functional and stylish changing unit without having to switch to a new piece of furniture. Another advantage of this solution is that the chest of drawers can easily be transformed back into its original form after the nappy-changing period and continue to be used. We have taken a closer look at the most popular models.

IKEA HEMNES as a changing unit

The absolute classic among the IKEA chests of drawers is the practical HEMNES*. Parents particularly appreciate the generous storage space in the drawer and the height of 96 cm. A matching changing table topper also creates a pleasantly large surface for changing nappies. The chest of drawers is stable and secure.

IKEA MALM with changing table topper

The classic MALM* chest of drawers is a popular choice for minimalist interiors and offers plenty of storage space for nappies, clothes and care products with three spacious drawer. A matching changing table topper creates a practical changing area. However, the chest of drawers should definitely be attached to the wall, as it can tip over more easily. The height of 78 cm is also a little low for many parents.

IKEA TYSSEDAL as a changing table

The TYSSEDAL chest of drawers impresses with its elegant design and fits perfectly into a stylish baby room. With its three drawer shelves, however, it offers slightly less storage space than other models. The height of 76 cm is also not ideal for many parents, as you have to bend down more when changing nappies. A matching changing table topper can extend the functionality, but the limited space remains a disadvantage.

IKEA SNIGLAR changing table

The SNIGLAR model is one of IKEA's most affordable nappy-changing solutions and is particularly attractive for parents on a budget. The simple wooden frame is stable and functional, but lacks closed drawer for additional storage space. With a height of 87 cm, it is slightly lower than other nappy changing units, which can be uncomfortable for taller parents. In addition, the maximum load of 11 kg is limited, meaning that the changing table cannot be used for too long.
