Whatever you decide to use, whether a conventional cot or a convertible, a good mattress is essential to the comfort. It should provide proper support and promote a healthy posture.

Safety

A secure sleeping space is essential and a big factor when selecting a cot. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the edges or sides of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps could trap the child's arms or head). Check that it's firm and thin. Thicker mattresses aren't recommended as they may increase the risk of SIDS.

If your cot has drop-sides, make sure it is locked and in the upward position.
