The Mamas & Papas Coxley won our overall award. Its stunning design and easy to assemble makes it a fantastic choice for parents looking for an upscale cot that can last for a long time. The sleek design and warm-toned finish will look great in a Scandi nursery. The cot bed also has a handy drawer, which mom tester Katrina thought was an improvement over cheaper cots that come with a built-in drawer, and an anti-bite plastic strip along the top of the cot rails to protect your child from getting their teeth stuck between the bars. This cot bed isn't inexpensive, and it requires an Allen key for setting up.

The cot for the Elementary is a cheaper option that will provide your baby a comfortable night's rest. It's part of the Anyday range by John Lewis.

We recommend the SnuzKot as another budget-friendly cot, especially when it comes with a toddler kit (sold separately) and mattress extender.

Safety

A cot that is well-designed will not only be in compliance with UK safety standards, but also feel sturdy and secure. Look for a robust design that includes safety bars or sides, as well as an erect base to ensure that your child is unable to easily climb out. Some cot beds will also have additional features like teething rails and under-bed drawers, which can help you keep things organised as your baby is growing.

The Boori cot is made from sustainable Australian Araucaria wood and New Zealand Radiata, so you can feel confident about the purchase.

This simple but stylish cot is a great option for those with a tight budget. It is easy to assemble with clearly marked parts and clear instructions.

They also noted that the slats are enough apart to prevent fingers getting caught in between them. It's also a little more expensive than some of the other cots that we looked at, but it is worth the cost for its longevity and practicality.

Design

Our mom test subject found it to be robust and durable with a three-position base height that allows the bed to grow with your child.

The Modena cot-bed by Tutti Bambini is a great value and comes in a panelled design that will be suitable for any nursery.

While the majority of cots can be made to toddler beds through the purchase of a conversion kit some cots are made to go further than this.

Another unique feature of this cot is the fact that it has four mattress base heights which is an upgrade on the three most common options. This lets you adjust the cot as your child grows. They may require a higher or lower base level based on their age and abilities. It also comes with useful teething rails as well as a plastic strip that runs along the top to shield it from biting.

The grey finish was the favorite of our dad's testers. It's not cheap, however it is a the best value for money because it will last your child until they reach the age of toddler and beyond.
