How to Choose the Best Cot Bed Cot Beds for Your Baby

If you are expecting your first child it is crucial to choose a cot that will ensure safety and security for your baby. Look for a cot that has fixed sides instead of drop-sides. This will be in line with UK safety standards.

This slick and elegant crib sets is our top choice from the Anyday range by John Lewis. It comes with three mattress positions, teething bars, and an storage drawer. It is also easy to put together, and comes with clear instructions.

Comfort

The best mini cot beds beds keep babies comfy and cosy. Look for a soft and airy fabric, and ensure that the mattress is snug to prevent any gaps which could cause an suffocation threat. There are many types of mattresses available: coils springs, foam, and even natural materials for allergy sufferers. Do your research to determine the most suitable one for your child.

If you choose a convertible or standard cot, the most important thing to ensure comfort is a good-quality mattress that provides proper support and promotes healthy posture. The slats should also be securely attached and not sliding. The slats must also be securely fixed to the frame, to ensure that your child will not get caught when they move in their sleep.

If you're unsure of the mattress to buy, consult friends and family or check online reviews for recommendations. Choose mattresses that are breathable, as they will help regulate your body temperature, and are less likely to be a breeding ground for bacteria.

When it comes to style, there's a wide choice, from traditional sleigh styles with ornate detailing to sleek, modern designs. Some are painted in vibrant primary colors to make your child feel cheerful and happy when they wake up.

The majority of cots have an under-bed storage drawer and teething rails that stop your child from chewing on the sides of the cot and height bases that can be adjusted to accommodate the growth of your baby. You can also purchase a drop side for smaller infants or those with medical conditions that make it difficult for them to bend over.

Look for a cot which is in compliance with the strict UK safety standards and is easily converted into a toddler's bed when it is time. Look for this information in the description or key specs.

Safety

When choosing a cot an environment that is safe for sleeping is a must. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the ends or sides of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps could hold the child's arms and head). Check that the mattress is firm and thin. Mattresses that are thick can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in different materials from foam to natural materials that are great for those suffering from allergies. Some have anti-microbial treatment. If your mattress has drop sides, make sure it is in the up position and secured.

Drop sides should only be allowed down only when an adult is in the room. This can prevent accidental release. If your coffin has a solid edge be sure to avoid placing it against the wall because it can block airflow and can cause death in the coffin. According to the latest research, slatted end cots are safer since they permit more airflow.

If your crib has a fixed edge choose this option as it is the most secure option when your baby starts to crawl and climb up. When your child is standing and climbing, this is a sign that they are ready to move into the junior bed.

Some cots feature features that allow the base can be raised to three different heights, so that it will increase with your child's growth - this is very useful and is a safety measure. Some cots come with adjustable footplates that are perfect for toddlers who want to stand up.

If you are putting your child in their cot, ensure that there isn't any obvious danger - it should be away from heaters, windows, power points and curtains and blind cords (these can be strangulation hazards). When buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, make sure to look for any choking hazards such as stickers and transfers. They can come off and pose a danger.

If you are unsure how to safely use your cot, ask other parents for advice or take part in a local NCT New Baby class. If your cot has a manual, read it carefully before using it, and follow the safety guidelines closely.

Style

With its beautiful sleigh design, this gorgeous crib will look stunning in your nursery. Our panel members loved the mix of white and natural pine, and its innovative features, like drawers under the bed to store all the baby necessities like nappies, bedding, and a dazzling variety of baby outfits. It's also simple to put together, with clear instructions and screws for each section. What's more, it can be converted into a bed for toddlers and a desk as your baby gets older (see the product description for more details).

The teething rails are among our top features. They stop your baby from hitting their head on the crib's side or any other protruding part of the crib, like the handle or corner post. They also stop children from chewing on the wood and also preventing them from being suffocated. It also features a drop-side to allow parents to reach their newborn. We are thrilled that the cot can be transformed into a toddler bed, and that it's built to last for up to four years. It also met the strict UK safety standards, which are listed in the key specs beneath each product.

Cot beds are typically larger than cribs and can be transformed into toddler beds once your child is ready, allowing you to avoid purchasing a bed at an age when they're ready to move on. However, they are pricier upfront than the standard crib.

If your nursery is very small, a crib might be the best choice for you since it is smaller and takes up less space, but should your baby be expected to spend much of their time in their parents' rooms or you're looking for a more durable bed, opt for a cot.

If a cot does not meet the UK safety standards as defined by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which covers mattress thicknesses, materials, and other key elements of baby cot mattresses) it is not safe for babies to sleep. The slats must not be too wide apart to prevent your child from falling out.

Storage

If you're a new parent or a seasoned one, the amount of stuff the cheap baby cots will require is immense. This is why it's essential to consider the storage options when you choose a crib bed. Many cots come with additional storage solutions available such as drawers in the under-bed or a coordinating cot top changer (available separately). Some can even be adapted to a toddler or a small single bed, increasing their usability for longer.

Some cot beds can be adapted into a day bed as shown on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great choice for those who prefer more flexible designs as the process of conversion is easy and only requires the removal of one side panel. This will allow parents to save money on a separate bed.

A number of cot beds have hanging rails that can be used to store muslins, dolls and other small objects. This makes it easier to keep everything organized, neat and tidy - and it also looks great. These items are easily accessible to parents and make it easier for parents to feed their child.

Another feature worth looking out for is a teething rail which is included with cots. This can stop your child from chewing on the wood which could cause them irritation. Some cots feature a more traditional design and have a huge storage drawer beneath the bed that is ideal for toys, clothes blankets, baby necessities.

This is a great option when space is a problem but you'll need to purchase a drawer on your own. You might need to purchase an additional mattress and bedding, as oval mattresses and sheets do not come with the cot.

This sleigh cot bed from Stokke is a lovely example of the Scandi-style at its finest and has a huge under-bed storage drawer that's ideal for keeping all those Baby Cot Bed necessities out of sight but within easy reach. The alphabetically labeled parts and clear instructions made it simple to assemble for our panel. It's suitable for babies from birth and can be made into a toddler's bed when your child's ready.
