Crib Sets - Everything You Need For Your Newborn to Sleep Soundly From Day One

The best crib sets come with everything you require for your baby to sleep peacefully from day one. They're pre-shrunk and machine washable and designed to fit tightly around the mattress, without bunching. This is a serious safety risk for infants.

One tester for parents said that she used hers cot for sale two babies, and then gave it to a different friend. This made it a smart buy. Its minimalist design makes it an ideal choice for minimalist nurseries.

Bedding

When it comes to crib bedding, there are a lot of options. However, picking the right bedding is more than picking a cute pattern to be in line with your preferences. You need to find one that is firmly fitted and doesn't clump into places that could be a suffocation hazard for your baby. It should also be soft to the touch and durable enough to endure months of blowouts from diapers and spit-up, without deteriorating too quickly.

One of our top rated cots picks is this set from Avocado, which contains two sheets made of 100% organic cotton certified by GOTS and MADE SAFE-certified. This is an independent third-party certification that ensures the company's textiles meet rigorous standards for safety and quality. The sheets are pre-shrunk to guarantee that they won't shrink or stretch after washing. They also fit a standard crib (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). They're also machine-washable to clean the inevitable mess your child is bound to create.

A crib mattress pad is another ideal option for babies and toddlers. It provides an additional layer of comfort and protects the mattress from accidents and stains. Choose a mattress pad that's less than an inch thick so your child can still breathe easily. And steer clear of things that are too soft or is adorned with long ribbons, bows and other adornments that can be removed and create the risk of strangulation.

Consider buying a convertible crib if you intend to keep your child in the crib for a long period of time. These cribs can be converted to a toddler bed, or even a full-size daybed. Some cribs come with necessary conversion kits, cot bed sales but others require a purchase.

This Dream On Me Ashton 5 in 1 crib is one of our favorites. It's made of solid wood and comes with one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who worry about reaching the mattress from a low position). It's also Greenguard Gold-certified which means it meets the strictest environmental standards to prevent gassing.

Mattress

Size and firmness are essential when it comes to crib mattress. The AAP recommends a mattress that is firm that is comfortable and does not leave an indentation on the surface when you lay the sheet over it. The mattress must also be the correct size for the crib, and it should stay in place--even after your baby gets out of it.

You should also determine whether the mattress has substances that could harm your child. You should look for a mattress free of volatile organic compound (VOCs), which emits an unpleasant chemical smell. A good indication is a certificate from CertiPUR-US, which certifies that the foam used in mattresses is free of ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants mercury, lead, other heavy metals, formaldehyde, and phthalates, which are regulated by Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.

Other things to consider are the weight of the mattress and whether or not it's waterproof. A mattress that is waterproof or able to be cleaned is more suitable for cleaning because you'll be changing sheets at night. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the largest product we've tested, weighing at 20 pounds. This could be a major issue for some parents.

A mattress that has two sides could have a firm side for infants and a softer side for toddlers. Pediatricians advise flipping your child's mattress when they reach the peak of normal growth. This usually occurs about 12 months old.

We tested the mattresses by weight and observed how they were able to fold easily to cover the sides of the crib with sheets. We also placed a weight of 8 pounds which is slightly heavier than the weight of a newborn baby on each mattress to observe how it reacted. The top mattresses did not sink this means they provide enough support to prevent your child from falling out of the their bed during sleep or to suffocate. A few of the mattresses we tried have a removable, machine-washable cover that is waterproof and zips shut. This makes cleaning and maintaining them even simpler.

Crib Rails

A crib is not complete without the proper set of fixed rails. While some baby furniture companies include a set of baby rails along with the crib however, some offer the rails separately. If you decide to buy them separately, search for rails that meet the safety requirements. For example, they should be free of missing or loose screws, brackets and other hardware. They should also be able support the weight of your child, but not be too fragile. They should also be able to secure themselves in place so that they cannot be removed by your child.

The crib rails need to not only be sturdy and sturdy, but they should also fit within the frame of the crib. This will prevent the mattress from being too fragile, which could cause harm to your baby. When you purchase a crib rail, be sure to measure the inside of the frame, as there are slight variations in the sizes of cribs. The dimensions should not be larger than three fingers.

You'll also want to ensure that the crib rails are free of cut-outs for decorative purposes or other decorations that could pose dangers to suffocate your child. It is also recommended to avoid putting pillows blankets, blankets, quilts or sheepskins in the crib, because they can cause an unhealthy accumulation of carbon dioxide and increase your baby's risk of SIDS. If you want to include a soft sleep surface in the crib, you can try a crib pad and cover combo. The products comprise mattress pads with a waterproof lining and a fitted "skirt" that wraps around the mattress in the same way as an fitted sheet.

You'll also need to make sure that you have the proper crib rail guards. They are designed to cushion the baby's head when it comes into contact with the crib railings when you feed him or her or cradling them on the bed. They also help to prevent the formation of marks from teeth and drool on the crib's railings that are fixed.

You'll have to purchase a toddler railing once your child is no longer in their crib. This will keep them safe in bed until they are ready to move into a larger bed. Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that will work with most standard cribs. It's easy to set up and meets all of the safety standards of the CPSC.

Crib Hardware

Certain aspects of the crib's design are purely aesthetic or subject to personal preference, but others--such as the style of slats or whether a crib converts into a toddler bed--can have significant impact on the ease of use as well as how long the crib will last. The most durable cribs are made from solid wood, and meet multiple safety regulations, and can be easily configured to different mattress heights. Some cribs feature distinct features that make them more efficient. For instance, the Quick Zip Crib Sheet allows you to change the sheets without having to remove the entire mattress.

Generally, you want to avoid cribs that have decorative cut-outs, or other decorations that could snag on clothes or pose a risk of choking for infants. Examine the crib's hardware for loose bolts and other items that could snag on objects or clothing.

The best cot bed crib sets come with simple instructions that are easy to follow and all the necessary parts including hardware. Modern cribs typically take half an hour or less to put together and a lot come with all the tools you'll need.

You may also want to think about a convertible crib that could transform into a daybed for toddlers, a toddler bed or a full-size cheap cot bed. This can be a smart purchase for families who plan to keep the crib for many years or who have small space in their homes. It is important to know that some crib conversion kits require additional items to complete the process.

Crib hardware can be a bit difficult to grasp but it's vital for security and stability. Most cribs feature an arrangement of rectangular blocks and wedges (also called "shims") and huge chocks, also known as step chocks, all designed to snug up contact points between the crib and its support surface.

Some shims and chocks may be made from soft woods, which crack slowly. This can give an audible warning prior to when they fail. However, woods that are more rigid might break more quickly and with greater force. Shims and chocks made of plastic can also be purchased. They are simpler to install since they don't require drilling into the surface.
