The cots usually have a side that can be lowered, so you can easily reach your baby at night to feed and comforting. This is particularly helpful for mothers who are recovering from a c-section. Many of them are foldable or portable, so you can take them on trips and use them as a sleeping option for babies who aren't quite ready to move to a full-sized cot.
