Cribs are smaller in Europe than in the US. The standard European size is 60x120 cm, and the US size is 28x52 in (or about 71x132 cm).

Also, be aware that even companies like IKEA that have stores in both the US and Europe carry different sizes (i.e. the US stores sell standard US size mattresses, and the European stores carry standard European size).

Yes, it might be an idea to buy a couple of matresses ( and sheets/undersheets) if you are bring a crib over from the US - especially if it turns into a toddler bed.
