Safety

When choosing a cot the safety of your child's sleep is a must. Make sure that the mattress is snugly fitted, with no gap between it and the cot's beds edges or sides (big gaps could trap your child's head or arms). Check that it's firm and thin - thicker mattresses aren't recommended, as they may increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a range of mattresses, ranging from basic foam to natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers and some even come with anti-microbial treatment. If your cot features a drop-side, make sure it is locked and in the up position.

Drop sides should only be allowed to go to fall when an adult is present in the room. This will prevent accidental release. If your coffin has a solid bottom be sure to avoid placing it against the wall since it can block airflow and could cause death in the coffin. Recent research suggests that slatted edges could be safer as they permit more airflow.

If your cot has a fixed side choose this option as it is the most secure option when your baby starts to crawl and pull themselves up. Once your child is standing and climbing, it is a sign they're ready to move into a junior bed.

Style

This gorgeous cot bed with its sleigh design will look amazing in your nursery. Our panel was impressed by the mix of natural and white pine, as well as its smart features, including under-bed storage drawers that can hold all the baby necessities like bedding, nappies and an enviable variety of baby outfits. It's also simple to construct with clear instructions and separate screws for each section. Additionally, it can be transformed into a bed for toddlers and a desk when your child gets older (see the product description for more details).

One of our most loved features are the teething rails which protect your little one from bumping their head on the side of the cot or any other protruding parts of the cot for sale like handles or a corner post, and which will also stop them from chewing on the wood, which prevents them from becoming suffocated. The cot also has drop-sides to make it easier for you to get access to your baby. We appreciate that the cot bed sales could be converted into a toddler bed and that it's strong enough to last for up to four years. It also met the strict UK safety standards. These are listed in the specifications below for each product.

Cot beds are generally bigger than cribs and can be converted into toddler beds when your child is ready, allowing you to avoid purchasing a bed at an age when they're ready for the transition. They may cost more than cribs.

If your nursery is small, you may think about the possibility of a crib. It is smaller and requires less space. However should you be planning to spend a significant portion of your baby's time in your bedroom or if you require an item that lasts longer, you should choose a cot.

If a cot doesn't meet the UK safety standards as defined by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which refers to mattress thicknesses, materials, and other key elements of baby mattresses for cots), it is unsafe for babies to sleep. The slats must not be too wide apart to stop your cheap baby cots from falling off.

Storage

The amount of baby gear you'll need is overwhelming regardless of whether you're a new mom or a seasoned one. This is why it's crucial to consider storage options when choosing the cot bed. A number of cots have additional storage solutions available such as under-bed drawers or a coordinating cot top changer (available separately). Some cots can be converted into toddler beds or a smaller single bed to extend their use.

Some cots can be transformed into day beds, as seen here on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great choice for those who prefer more flexible designs as the conversion process is simple and requires just the removal of a side panel. This also allows parents to save money on a separate bed.

Some cot sales beds have a hanging rail that can be used to hang muslins, dummies, as well as other small items. This makes it easier to keep everything organized, neat and tidy - and it also looks great. Having easy access to these items makes it easier for parents to feed their baby.

Another thing to look for is a toothing rail that is available in a few cots. This can keep your baby from chewing on the wood that could cause irritation. Some cots come with a more traditional design and include a large storage drawer under the bed that is ideal for toys, clothes blankets, and other baby necessities.

While this is a great idea if you're running out of space, you should remember that you will need to buy a separate extra for the drawer. You might need to purchase bedding and a mattress separately since oval sheets and mattresses don't come with the cot.
