Comfort

The best cot mattress keeps children comfortable and warm. Look for a breathable soft and comfortable fabric. Make sure the mattress is snug to prevent any gaps that could cause the danger 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 best one for your child.

If you choose a standard or convertible cot, the most important thing to ensure comfort is a mattress of high-quality that is supportive and promotes healthy posture. The slats need to be securely attached and not sliding. The slats need to be securely attached to the frame to ensure that your child does not get caught when they move in their sleep.

If you're unsure of the mattress to buy, consult your family and friends or consult online cots reviews for recommendations. Look for ones that are breathable, as they'll help maintain temperature and are less likely to be a home for bacteria.

Safety

A safe and secure sleeping environment is essential and a big aspect to consider when choosing a cot. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot or cot-bed (large gaps could restrict the child's arms or head). Verify that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Thick mattresses could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a choice of mattresses, from simple foam to natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers. Some even contain anti-microbial treatments. If your cot has a drop-side, make sure it is locked and in the upward position.

A drop side should be allowed to go down only if an adult is present, this will prevent accidental release. Avoid placing your cot on the wall if it is an end that is solid. This can restrict airflow, which can cause death in the coffin. Recent research suggests that slatted ends may be safer as they allow more airflow.

If your cot has a fixed side you should choose this because it will be safest when your baby starts to crawl and pull themselves up. Once your child is standing and climbing, this is a sign they're ready to move into a junior bed.

Some cots have an option that allows the base to be raised to three different levels. This is a wonderful safety measure and enables the cot of your child to grow with their needs. Some cots also have adjustable footplates, which are ideal for toddlers who wish to sit up in their beds.

Whenever you place your child in their mini cot beds, make sure whether there is no obvious danger - it should be away from heaters and power points, windows, curtains and blind cords (these can be strangulation hazards). When buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, make sure to look for any dangers to your child's health such as stickers and transfers. They can come off and pose a danger.

If you are unsure about how to use your cot, consult other parents for help or take part in an local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with an instruction manual, read it carefully before you start using it, and be sure to follow the safety guidelines closely.

Stores

The amount of baby equipment you'll need is a mess regardless of whether you're a first-time parent or a seasoned one. It's important to consider storage when choosing a cot-bed.

Certain cots can be transformed into an infant bed or a small single bed to extend their usage.

Some cots can be converted into day beds, as shown here on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great crib option for those who prefer a less rigid design as the conversion process is fairly simple and involves the removal of one side panel.
