Size

There's plenty to consider when selecting the right mattress for your baby. To make the right decision you should take into consideration safety, style, price, and size. The most popular dimensions for cots are 140cm x 70cm but this can vary among brands, so be sure to verify before purchasing. Also, you should be aware of the age range in which a cot is suitable. This will help you decide whether to upgrade your child to an adult bed or a single bed when they are ready.

A cot bed is a more flexible option, since it will last longer than the standard cot and can be converted into a toddler or a small single bed when your child is ready. This will make the transition easier for both you and your child, and will save you money in the long run.

Cot beds are available in a range of sizes, shapes and finishes so it's important to find the perfect fit for your nursery. Find a model that is suitable for the space. Also, keep in mind that a majority of cots have removable sides that let your baby play with toys or curl up in bed. If your nursery is small, go for a compact cot with curving edges to make the most of limited space.

If you're not sure about the perfect suitable nursery furniture, reach out to relatives and friends who have children. They can provide valuable insights about their experiences with different models and offer suggestions based on personal experience. You can also read online customer reviews to gain a better understanding of what other parents' opinions were about the cot beds they bought.

Cot beds can be found in a variety of materials and pine is the most popular. It's a softwood, so it's more susceptible to dent and scratches, but it's also highly durable and renewable. Other options include birch, beech and oak, which are hard woods with more resistance to wear and tear. Certain cots can be made from engineered wood. It's a combination of MDF or plywood with the addition of a veneer to provide a more durable surface.

Safety

Cots and cot beds must be in compliance with the latest standards for safety and health to ensure that children are sleeping in a safe and secure environment. These include ensuring that they have no sharp edges, and that the distance between the bars is no more than 6.5cm. This will prevent children from climbing up or getting trapped between the bars. Also, they shouldn't use them as a ladder. If you are purchasing an antique or second-hand crib, it is crucial to check that it conforms to the current safety standards and has been thoroughly cleaned. Older cots might have been sprayed with lead paint which is dangerous for children who are just starting out.

A high-quality cot will be easy to assemble, with clear instructions and a minimal amount of tools. If you are unable to assemble it yourself, ask friends and family for advice and take time to read any safety guidelines carefully. You should also make sure that you have a firm mattress for the cot which is firmly fitted without any gaps and not too deep. It is recommended cribs to avoid using pillows, cot bumpers or any other soft bedding, as these can cause fatal death from suffocation.

Some cots can be converted into toddler beds, thereby saving money in the long run and making the transition from cot and bed as seamless as it can be. Some are multi-functional, and come with additional features such as rails for teething and storage drawers. If you are planning on having more than one child this is a great option because it will save you money in the future.

When you are buying a cot ensure that it is within your budget and is the right size for your nursery. Think about whether you'll be using it in a bedroom shared by two parents or intended for your own child's room. If you plan to put the cot in your room ensure that it fits comfortably. Also, ensure that it is not too close or blocked by furniture or radiators. You should also avoid placing the cot near window blind cords as these could be a risk of strangulation.

Convenience

It's easy to become caught up in the details of spec and safety features when purchasing for your new baby, but don't forget about the ease of use. If you're purchasing a crib you want it to be as simple as possible to move from room to room, and even out into the garden. It's because your child could be sleeping in the crib for a longer amount of time than you imagine.

You can save time and money by choosing a cot that can be converted into an infant bed. It's a popular option for parents of all ages, but it is important to remember that it's likely to be slightly more expensive than the standard cot.

The John Lewis Elementary cot, which converts to a toddlerbed, is a great example of a cot with a high value. The design is modern and simple with slatted open sides that allow you to monitor your baby easily. It also has three mattress height positions to allow your baby to grow, as well as teething rails for added security.

Another option is the Mamas & Papas Franklin cot, which comes with a myriad of useful additional features. It comes with a drawer for storage as well as teething rails, and two height positions. This lets your baby continue using the cot sales until they're ready for a bed for toddlers. It will also take an ordinary cot-sized mattress however, you'll need to purchase this separately.

You can also look at the Boori Eton Convertible Plus Cot Bed which goes one step further than converting into a toddler bed. It can be transformed into an ottoman or a daybed and gives you more flexibility.

Another option is the Ickle Bubba Snowdon Classic Cotbed. This is a stylish sleigh Mini Cot Bed, but it may not be as practical as other options. For one, it's only suitable for babies until they're 2 years old and doesn't come with an upholstered sheet (you have to buy this separately). It's simple to put together and you can buy furniture to match from this brand.

Style

Cot beds are available in a variety of styles, from traditional sleigh designs to modern minimalist ones. The style you choose will be based on your personal preferences and the style of your nursery. You may be thinking about additional features like an area for storage underneath, teething rails or dropping sides for infants.

If you choose a cot-bed with bars, it's crucial to remember that the distance between the bars should not exceed 6.5cm. Otherwise there's a risk of limbs getting trapped. All cots and cot beds sold in the UK must meet the safety standard BS EN716-1:2008+A1:2013.

A number of the cots we tested have removable bars that provide greater freedom for older children, while still keeping them safe. The Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot is a good example. It can be transformed into an infant or daybed by attaching an attachment kit (sold separately). This allows it to be used from birth to the age of 4 years.

The Great Little Trading Company Little Wren Cot Bed is another alternative. It's a fashionable sleigh bed that features a handy under-bed storage compartment that can keep all baby essentials at hand. It was easy to assemble and has plenty of room for bedding and toys. It includes a teething bar and an adjustable base that can be adjusted to three different heights.

The Stokke Sleepi Cot Bed is another sleigh model that can be made into a toddler bed using a junior conversion kit and mattress extender (sold separately). It's a great investment since it will last your child until they reach the age of five old. But, it's not among the cheapest cots we have on our list.
