Comfort

The best cot beds keep baby's warm and comfortable. Choose a soft, comfortable fabric. Also, make sure that the mattress is fitted snugly to prevent any gaps which could cause a suffocation risk. There are many mattresses available including coil springs, foam and natural materials for allergy sufferers. So do your research and choose the one that is suitable for your baby's requirements.

Whether you opt for an ordinary or convertible cot, the primary factor to satisfaction is a high-quality mattress that is supportive and promotes healthy posture. The slats should also be securely attached and not sagging. The slats should also be firmly connected to the frame so that your child does not become caught in the movement during sleep.

Ask your family and friends for recommendations or look at online reviews. Choose breathable mattresses, as they will help regulate your body temperature and less likely to be a breeding ground for bacteria.

Safety

When choosing a cot the safety of your child's sleep should be the top priority. Make sure the mattress fits snugly, with no gaps between it and the cot/cot bed sides or ends (big gaps can trap your child's head or arms). Make sure the mattress is not too firm and thin. Mattresses that are thick can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in a variety of materials including foam and natural materials that are good for allergy sufferers. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot features drop-sides, ensure that it is locked and in the up position.

A drop side should only be allowed to fall when an adult is present, this will prevent accidental release. If your coffin has a solid edge do not place it against the wall as it will block airflow and can cause death in the coffin. The latest research suggests that slatted ends may be safer because they allow more airflow.

If your cot is fixed on one side, then you can choose it. It will be the most secure option for your Baby Crib as they start to crawl and pull themselves upward. When your child is confidently climbing and standing, it's time to move to a junior bed.

Some cots come with a feature where the base can be raised to three different heights in order to expand with your child which is extremely practical and a great security measure. Some cots also have footplates that are adjustable, which is ideal for toddlers wanting to stand up in their bed.

If you are putting your child in their cot, ensure whether there is no visible danger. It must be away from heat sources and windows, power points and blind cords and curtains (these pose a strangulation risk). If you're buying furniture from a secondhand store or an heirloom piece Be sure to check for potential hazards to choking such as stickers and transfer tapes that could be removed and pose danger.

If you're unsure about how to use your cot safely consult other parents or attend an local NCT New Baby course for support and advice. If your cot comes with a guide ensure that you go through it before using it and follow the instructions.

Style

This gorgeous cot bed with its sleigh design will look stunning in your nursery. Our panel was impressed by the mix of white and natural pine, as well as its clever features, such as under-bed storage drawers that can hold all those baby essentials like nappies, bedding, and a dazzling variety of baby outfits. It's also easy to assemble with clear instructions and separate sets of screws for each section. It can also be transformed into a toddler's desk and bed when your child gets older (see product description for more details).

The rails for teething are among our most loved features. They keep your baby from hitting their head on the crib's side or any protruding portion of the crib, such as the corner post or handle. They also prevent them from chewing the wood and preventing them from suffocating. The cot also has an opening that can be dropped to make it easier for access to your infant. We appreciate that the cot could be converted into a toddler bed and that it's built to last for up to four years. It also met strict UK safety standards. These are listed in the key specs below each product.

Cot beds can be turned into toddler beds if your child is old enough. This allows you to avoid buying a new crib as your child gets ready to move up. They are more expensive than a crib.

If your nursery is very small, a crib might be the best option for you as it is smaller and occupies less space, but if your child is likely to spend most of the time in their parents' bedroom or you'd like a more long-lasting bed, you should consider a crib.

If the cot you are using does not meet the UK safety standards outlined by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which covers the thickness of mattresses, the materials used, and other important elements of baby mattress cots) it is not safe for babies to sleep. The slats shouldn't be too far apart to prevent your baby from falling out.

Storage

No matter if you're a first-time parent or an experienced one the amount of things that a baby requires is overwhelming. It's important to consider storage when you choose a cot. There are a variety of cots that have additional storage options, such as drawers in the under-bed or a top changer (available separately). Some are even able to be converted to a toddler or a small single bed, extending their usability for longer.

Some cots are able to be converted into day beds, as seen here on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great choice for those who prefer an edgier design. The conversion is simple and requires only the removal of one side panel. This lets parents save money on an additional bed.

A few cot beds feature hanging rails that can be used to store muslins, dolls and other small objects. This helps to keep everything organised tidy and neat and looks great. Having easy access to these items will make it easier for parents to feed their child.

Another feature worth looking for is a teething rail that is available with some cots. This will help prevent your little one chewing on the wood, which could cause irritation. Some cots come with more traditional designs and have a huge storage drawer beneath the bed, which is perfect for clothes, toys blankets, baby necessities.

This is a great choice for those who have limited space however, you will need to purchase a drawer separately. It is also possible to buy a new mattress and bedding, as oval mattresses and sheets aren't typically included in the cot.
