Learn how to set up your Stokke Sleepi Mini Bundle & Mattress V3 step by step. Get your newborn's first bed ready quickly and safely.
Quick answer
Assemble the Stokke Sleepi Mini Bundle by attaching the bassinet base, locking the casters, fitting the mattress support, and securing the fabric cover and drape rod. The entire process takes about 20 minutes with two people.
Why setup order matters
The Stokke Sleepi Mini Bundle is designed to be assembled in a specific sequence to ensure stability and safety. Skipping steps or reversing the order can lead to loose connections or an unstable base.
Because the bundle includes both the bassinet frame and the mattress V3, you need to confirm the mattress support is at the correct height before adding the mattress. The oval shape has no sharp corners, but the rods and fabric cover must be aligned properly to avoid gaps.
Setup steps
- 1. Attach the base frame and casters: Lay the bassinet base frame on a flat surface. Insert each caster into its designated corner until you hear a click. Make sure all four casters lock before proceeding. A common mistake is forcing a caster into the wrong corner — check the alignment notch on the caster stem.
- 2. Install the mattress support plate: Slide the mattress support plate into the base frame at the lowest newborn height setting. Push down firmly until the tabs snap into the frame slots. If the plate feels loose, you may have missed a tab — remove and reinsert until both sides click.
- 3. Fit the fabric cover over the frame: Drape the fabric cover over the assembled frame, starting at one end and working around. Tuck the elastic hem under the base edge evenly on all sides. A twisted cover creates wrinkles that can reduce airflow — run your hand along the inside to check for smoothness.
- 4. Insert the drape rod and secure the canopy: Slide the drape rod through the top sleeve of the cover. Attach the rod ends into the frame brackets on both sides. Tighten the thumb screws by hand only. Overtightening the thumb screws can strip the plastic threads — snug is enough.
- 5. Place the mattress and test stability: Lower the Stokke Sleepi Mattress V3 into the bassinet so it lies flat against the support plate. Press down on the center and edges to confirm there are no gaps between the mattress and the frame. If the mattress shifts more than 1/2 inch when pushed, the support plate may not be fully locked — repeat step 2.
