If you're expecting a child it's crucial to select a cot that's safe and secure for your little one. Find a cot with fixed sides (rather than drop-sides) that meet strict UK safety standards.

This minimalist, stylish coffin is our top choice from the Anyday collection by John Lewis. It comes with three mattress height positions, teething rails, and a storage drawer. It is also easy to put together, and comes with clear instructions.

Comfort

The best cot beds keep baby's warm and comfortable. Find a comfortable, soft fabric. Make sure the mattress fits snugly, to avoid any gaps that could pose the risk of the mattress becoming suffocated. There are many types of mattresses available: coils springs, foam, and natural materials for allergy-sufferers. Do your research to determine the ideal mattress for your child.

Whatever you decide to use, whether a conventional cot or a convertible, a good mattress is vital to your comfort. It should provide adequate support and promote an ideal posture. The same is true for the slats, which should be securely attached and not bent or sagging. The slats should also be secured to the frame, so that your child doesn't get trapped in them while moving during sleep.

If you're not sure what mattress to buy, consult friends and family or check online reviews for suggestions. Choose a mattress that is breathable, as they'll help regulate temperature and are less likely to harbour bacteria.

When it comes to style there's a broad selection of styles, from traditional sleigh designs with ornate detailing to sleek, modern designs. Some are even painted in bold primary colours which is perfect for those who want their little one to wake up feeling bright and happy!

Most cots offers come with a drawer for storage underneath and teething rails that stop your child from chewing the sides of the cot, and height bases that are adjustable to accommodate baby's growth. You can also purchase drop sides for small infants or those with health issues that make it difficult for them to bend over.

For extra security, opt for a cot that meets the stringent UK safety standards and can easily convert into an infant bed when the time is right. This information can be found in the description of the product and key specifications.

Safety

A safe sleeping environment is an essential consideration when choosing a crib. Make sure that the mattress is snugly fitted, with no gaps between it and the cot's bed sides or ends (big gaps could trap your child's head or arms). Check that it's firm and thin - thicker mattresses aren't recommended because they can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a range of mattresses, from simple foam to natural materials for allergy sufferers. Some even have anti-microbial treatment. If your cot sale has a drop side, ensure it is in the up position and locked securely.

Drop sides should only be permitted down only when an adult is present in the room. This will prevent accidental release. Do not place your cot against the wall if it is an end that is solid. This will restrict airflow, which can cause death in the coffin. According to the most recent research, cots with slatted edges could be safer as they allow for greater airflow.

If your cot has a fixed side, opt for this as it will be safest when your baby starts to crawl and then pull themselves up. When your child is confidently standing and climbing, this is a sign that they are ready to transition into the junior bed.

Some cots come with an option where the base can be raised to three different levels in order to increase with your child's growth This is extremely convenient and an added safety measure. Some cots come with footplates that can be adjusted to suit for toddlers who want to stand up.

When putting your child's cot in the crib be sure that there are no visible hazards. It should be placed away from any heaters or power points. Also be sure to keep it away from windows, curtains, and blind cords. All of these could present a strangulation threat. If you're buying second-hand or heirloom furniture be sure to look for any choking hazards like stickers and transfer tapes that could be removed and pose a risk.

If you're not sure what you should do to use your cot, consult other parents for help or take part in an local NCT New Baby class. If your cot has a manual, read it carefully before you start using it, and follow the safe-use instructions closely.

Style

With its gorgeous sleigh style, this gorgeous crib will look stunning in your nursery. Our panel members loved the combination of natural and white pine, as well as its innovative features, like under-bed storage drawers that can hold all those baby essentials like bedding, nappies and a stunning variety of baby outfits. It's also a breeze to put together, with concise instructions and separate packs of screws for each section. Additionally, it can be transformed into a bed for toddlers and a desk when your baby grows older (see the product's description for more details).

The rails for teething are one of our favorite features. They stop your baby from hitting their head against the side of the crib or any protruding portion of the crib, like the handle or corner post. They also prevent them from chewing the wood, and prevent them from suffocating. The cot also has a drop-side for easier access to your newborn. We are thrilled that the cot can be converted into a toddler bed and that it's strong enough to last for up to four years. It also meets the strict UK safety standards, which you'll find in the main specifications beneath each product.

Cot beds are usually larger than cribs and can be converted into toddler beds when your child is ready and you can avoid buying another bed until they're ready for the transition. However, they can be pricier upfront than the standard crib.

If your nursery is small, a crib may be the best choice for you as it is smaller and takes up less space, but if your child is likely to spend much of their time in their parents' room or you'd like a more long-lasting bed, you should consider a crib sets.

If the cot you are using does not meet the UK safety standards as defined by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which cover the thickness of mattresses, the materials used, and other key elements of baby mattress cots) It is unsafe for babies to sleep. The slats must not be too wide apart to prevent your child from falling out.

Storage

Whether you're a first-time parent or an experienced one the amount of things a baby needs is staggering. It is important to think about storage when you choose a cot. Many cots come with additional storage options, such as under-bed drawers or a coordinating cot top changer (available separately). Some are even able to be converted to a toddler or a small single bed, increasing their usability for longer.

Some cots can be transformed into day beds, like the one shown on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great choice for those who like the flexibility of a design. The conversion is easy and requires only the removal of ONE side panel. This also allows parents to save money on a bed purchase.

Some cot beds are equipped with hanging rails that can be used to hang muslins and dolls along with other small things. This helps to keep everything organized, neat and tidy - and it also looks fantastic. These items are easily accessible to parents, making it easier for parents to feed their child.

Another desirable feature to look for is a toothing rail which is included in a few cots. This will prevent your child from chewing on the wooden cot which could 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 necessities.

This is a great solution for those who have limited space but you'll need to purchase a drawer on your own. You may have to purchase bedding and a mattress separately, as oval mattresses and sheets do not come with the cot.
