How to Choose the Best Cot Beds for Your Baby

If you are expecting a child, it is important to choose a cot that can provide security and safety for your baby. Find a cot with fixed sides (rather than drop-sides) that are in line with strict UK safety standards.

This minimalist, stylish cot is our top choice from the Anyday range of John Lewis. It comes with three mattress height positions, teething rails, and a storage drawers. It is also simple to assemble, with clear instructions.

Comfort

The best cot beds keep baby's warm and comfortable. Look for a soft and airy fabric, and ensure that the mattress is snug to prevent any gaps which could pose the risk of suffocation. There are a variety of mattresses available - foam, coil springs, natural materials for allergy sufferers - so do your research and select the one that is suitable for your baby's requirements.

Whatever you decide to use, whether a standard cot or a convertible cot one, a comfortable mattress is crucial to ensure your comfort. It should provide adequate support and encourage a healthy posture. The slats need to be firmly attached, and not sagging. The slats should also be securely fixed to the frame so that your child doesn't get stuck in them while they move during sleep.

If you're unsure of the mattress to buy, ask friends and family or check online reviews for recommendations. Choose a mattress that is breathable, as they'll help maintain temperature and are less likely to harbour bacteria.

There are a variety of styles to pick from, including traditional sleighs with intricate details and modern, sleek designs. Some are painted in vibrant primary colors to make your child feel cheerful and happy when they awake.

The majority of cots 4 tots have a drawer for storage underneath, teething rails that prevent your child from chewing on the sides of the cot and height bases that are adjustable to accommodate baby's growth. You can also purchase a drop-side for babies who aren't big or suffer from medical conditions that make it hard to bend over.

For added peace of mind, look for a cot that complies with the stringent UK safety standards and can easily transform into an infant bed when the time is appropriate. Look for this information in the description or in the key specifications.

Safety

A safe sleeping environment is a must and a major aspect to consider when choosing a bed. Make sure the mattress is snug and has no gap between it and the cot's bed's sides or ends (big gaps can keep your child's head from being caught in the arms). Verify that the mattress is solid and thin - more thick mattresses aren't recommended as they may increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies sell mattresses in different materials, from foam to natural materials that are good for those suffering from allergies. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has drop sides, make sure it is in the up position and locked securely.

Drop sides should only be permitted down when an adult is in the room. This prevents accidental release. If your coffin has a solid bottom do not place it against the wall since this will restrict airflow and may contribute to death in the coffin. The latest research suggests that slatted edges could be safer since they allow for more airflow.

If your cot has a fixed side, opt for this as it is the most secure option when your baby starts to crawl and pull themselves up. If your child is confidently climbing and standing, it's the time to upgrade to a junior bed.

Some cots have a feature where the base can be raised to three different levels, so that it will expand with your child - this is very convenient and an added safety measure. Some cots have footplates that are adjustable, which is ideal for toddlers wanting to stand up in their bed.

Whenever you place your child in their cot, ensure whether there is no visible danger - it must be kept away from heaters or power points, windows and curtains and blind cords (these are a strangulation hazard). If you are buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms to look out for dangers to your child's health such as stickers tots and cots transfers. They can come off and pose a danger.

If you are unsure about how to use your cot beds for sale, consult other parents for advice or go to a local NCT New Baby class. If your cheap cot bed comes with instructions, read them carefully before using it, and then follow the safety guidelines closely.

Style

This gorgeous cot bed with its sleigh style will look fantastic in your nursery. The panel was impressed by the combination of natural wood and white, as well as the clever features like under-bed storage drawers for all baby essentials, like bedding, nappies, and a wide selection of baby clothes. It is also easy to construct, with clear instructions and separate screws for each section. What's more, it can be transformed into a toddler bed or desk when your baby grows older (see the product description for details).

The rails for teething are among our most loved features. They stop your child from hitting their head on the side of the crib or any other protruding part of the crib, such as the handle or corner post. They also prevent them from chewing on the wood and also preventing them from suffocating. The cot also has a drop-side to allow easier access to your baby. We are thrilled that the cot can be converted into a toddler bed, and that it's sturdy enough to last for four years. It also met strict UK safety standards. These are listed in the specifications below for each product.

Cot beds can be converted into toddler beds in the event that your child is old enough. This allows you to not have to buy a new crib as your child gets ready to go up. However, they are more expensive than the crib that is standard.

If your nursery is small, a crib could be the best option for you, as it's smaller and takes up less space. However, should your baby be expected to spend much of their time in their parents' room or you're looking for a more durable bed, you should consider a crib.

If a cot doesn't meet the UK safety standards outlined by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which refers to mattress thicknesses, materials, and other essential elements in baby cot mattresses), it is unsafe for babies to sleep. The slats should not be too close together, to ensure that your baby won't fall out.

Storage

No matter if you're a first-time parent or a veteran the amount of things a baby needs is staggering. This is why it's essential to consider the storage options when you choose a crib bed. Some cots have additional storage options, such as drawers underneath the bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Some can be transformed to a toddler or a small single bed, extending their use for a longer time.

Some cots are able to be converted into day beds, as seen here on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is an excellent option for those who like a more flexible design. The conversion is easy and only requires the removal of one side panel. This will allow parents to save on the cost of a separate bed.

A few cot beds come with a hanging rail which can be used to store muslins Dummies, and other small items. This keeps everything tidy, neat and organized. It also looks beautiful. Being able to access these items will make it much easier for parents to feed their child.

Another desirable feature to look for is a toothing rail that is available with some cots. This will help keep your baby from chewing on the wood which could cause them irritation. Some cots are designed with an older style tots and cots come with a large under-bed storage drawer that is perfect for storing toys, blankets clothing, and other baby essentials.

While this is a great option if you're short on space, you must remember that you will require a separate extra drawer. It is also possible to buy a new mattress and bedding as oval mattresses and sheets are not typically included with the cot.

This sleigh-style cot bed is stunning example of Scandi style at its best. It has a spacious under-bed storage compartment that's ideal to keep all baby necessities away from view but easily accessible. The alphabetically labeled parts and clear instructions made it simple to put together for our panel. It's suitable for infants from birth and can be transformed into a toddler's crib when your child's ready.
