Comfort

The best Cot Bed cot beds keep baby's warm and comfortable. Find a comfortable soft, soft fabric. Make sure that the mattress is fitted snugly to avoid any gaps that could cause a risk of the mattress becoming suffocated. There are a variety of mattresses available - foam, coil springs and natural materials for allergy sufferers. So do your research and choose the right one for your baby's requirements.

Whether you opt for a convertible or standard cot, the primary factor to comfort is a good-quality mattress that is supportive and promotes healthy posture. The same applies to the slats, which must be securely attached and not sagging or bent. The slats must be securely fixed to the frame, so your child isn't caught in them when moving during sleep.

If you're not sure which mattress to buy, ask your family members or friends or look up online reviews for suggestions. Choose mattresses that are breathable, as they aid in regulating your body temperature and are less likely to harbor bacteria.

There are many styles to pick from such as traditional sleighs, with elaborate details and sleek, modern designs. Some are even painted with bright primary colors, which is ideal when you want your baby to wake up feeling bright and cheerful!

You can also buy a drop-side for babies who aren't big or suffer from medical conditions that make it difficult for them to bend over.

For added peace of mind, search for a cot that meets the stringent UK safety standards and can easily convert into a toddler bed when the time is right. This information is found in the product description and the specifications.

Safety

When selecting a cot, an environment that is safe for sleeping is a must. Make sure the mattress is snugly fitted, with no gaps between it and the cot's beds edges or sides (big gaps could keep your child's head from being caught in the arms). Make sure it's solid and thin - more thick mattresses aren't advised as they may increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies sell mattresses in various materials, from foam to natural materials that are great for allergy sufferers. Some have anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has drop-sides, ensure that it is secured and in the up position.

A drop side should be allowed to drop only if an adult is present; to prevent accidental release. If your cot has a solid end be sure to avoid placing it against the wall because this will restrict airflow and may contribute to death in the coffin. According to the most recent research, cots with slatted ends could be safer as they permit 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 climb up. When your child is confidently climbing and standing, it's the time to upgrade to a junior bed.

Some cots come with a feature that allows the base to be raised up to three different levels. This is a great security feature that allows your child's cot to grow with their needs. Some cots feature adjustable footplates that are perfect for toddlers who like to stand up.

When you place your child's cot be sure that there aren't any obvious dangers. It should be placed away from power and heater points. Also make sure it is away from windows, curtains, and blind cords. These can all present a strangulation threat. When purchasing second-hand furniture, or heirlooms to check for dangers to your child's health such as stickers and transfers. These can peel off and create a risk.

If you're unsure of how to safely use your cot, consult other parents for help or attend a local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with a manual ensure that you go through it before using it and follow all the directions.

Style

With its stunning sleigh design, this gorgeous cot bed will look amazing in your nursery cots. The panel was impressed with the mix of natural wood and white and the innovative features like drawers under the bed for everything needed by babies, such as bedding, nappy and an impressive array of baby clothes. It's also simple to build, with clear instructions and separate screws for each section. Additionally, it can be converted into a bed for toddlers and a desk when your child gets older (see the product's description for more details).

One of our favorite features is the teething rails which protect your baby from bumping their head against the Mini Cot Bed's side or any protruding parts of the cot like the handle or corner post. They also help stop them chewing on the wood, preventing them from being trapped. There's also a drop-side to make it easier for parents to reach their newborn. We appreciate that the cot could be converted into a toddler bed and that it's strong enough to last up to four years.

Cot beds are typically larger than cribs and can be turned into toddler beds when your child is ready, allowing you to avoid purchasing a new bed until they're ready for the transition. However, they may be pricier upfront than the crib that is standard.

If your nursery is small, you may be considering a crib. It is smaller and occupies less space. However should you be planning on spending a lot of your baby's time in your room or you need an item that lasts longer, you should consider a cot.

A cot isn't safe for babies to sleep in if it does not meet the strict UK safety standards outlined in BS EN 716 and BS 8509, Cheap Baby Cots which covers mattresses' thicknesses, materials, and other essential elements of cot mattresses for babies. The slats shouldn't be too close together, to ensure your baby doesn't fall off.

Storage

Whether you're a first-time parent or an experienced one, the amount of stuff that a baby requires is overwhelming. It is important to think about storage when you choose a cot. Certain cots offer additional storage options, like drawers beneath the bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Some cots can be converted into a toddler bed or small single bed to extend their use.

Some cot beds can be adapted into a day bed as shown on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is an ideal option for those who prefer a less rigid design as the process of conversion is simple and involves the removal of one side panel. This also allows parents to save money on a separate bed purchase.

Some cot beds come with hanging rails that can be used to hang muslins and dummies, as well as other small items. This allows you to keep everything organised tidy and neat - and it also looks amazing. Being able to access these items will make it easier for parents when feeding their infant.

Another desirable feature to look for is a toothing rail that is available in a few cots. This can stop your child from chewing on the wood that can cause irritation. Some cots are designed in a more traditional style and include a large under-bed storage drawer which is ideal for storing toys, blankets clothing, and other baby essentials.

While this is a great idea if you're short on space, you should be aware that you'll require a separate extra for the drawer. You may need to buy a separate mattress and bedding because oval sheets and mattresses don't come with the cot.
