How to Choose the Best Cot Beds for Your Baby

If you're expecting a baby, it's important to choose the right cot that is secure and safe for your baby. Look for a cot that has fixed sides, instead of drop-sides. This will comply with UK safety standards.

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

Comfort

The best cot beds keep baby's warm and comfortable. Find a comfortable soft and comfortable fabric. Make sure the mattress is fitted snugly to avoid any gaps that could cause the danger of suffocation. There are many types of mattresses available, including coils springs, foam and even natural materials for allergy sufferers. Do your research to determine the best one for your child.

If you choose a standard or convertible cot, the key to satisfaction is a high-quality mattress that is supportive and promotes a healthy posture. The slats need to be secured and not sagging. The slats must also be securely attached to the frame, so that your little one doesn't get stuck in them while they move in their sleep.

Ask your family and friends for recommendations or look at online reviews. Look for ones that are air-conditioned, as they'll help to regulate temperature and are less likely to harbor bacteria.

When it comes to style there's a broad selection of styles, from traditional sleigh designs with elaborate details to sleek, contemporary designs. Some are painted in vibrant primary colors to make your child feel cheerful and cheerful as they wake up.

The majority of cots have an under-bed storage drawer, teething rails that prevent your child from chewing on the sides of the cot and adjustable height bases to accommodate baby's growth. You can even buy drop sides for small babies or those who have health issues that make it difficult to bend over.

Choose a cot that is in compliance with the strict UK safety standards and is able to be easily transformed into a toddler's cot when it is time. This information is available in the product description and the specifications.

Safety

When choosing a cot, a safe sleeping environment should be the top priority. Make sure that the mattress is snug and has no gaps between it and the cot/cot bed sides or ends (big gaps can restrict your child's head or arms). Check that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Mattresses that are thick could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a choice of mattresses, from simple foam to natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers. Some contain anti-microbial treatments. If your cot features drop-sides, ensure that it is locked and in the up position.

Drop sides should only be allowed down only when an adult is in the room. This can prevent accidental releases. Do not place your cot against walls if it has an end that is solid. This will restrict airflow, which can result in death of the coffin. The latest research suggests that slatted ends may be safer as they permit more airflow.

If your cot is set on one side, then you can choose it. It's the most secure option for your baby when they begin to crawl and pull themselves upward. When your child is climbing with confidence and standing, it's the time to upgrade to a junior bed.

Some cots feature features that allow the base can be raised to three different heights to allow it to increase with your child's growth This is extremely practical and a great safety measure. Some cots and tots have footplates that are adjustable, which is great for toddlers who want to sit up in their bed.

When you put your child in their cot, make sure whether there is no obvious danger - it must be away from heat sources and windows, power points and curtains and blind cords (these pose a strangulation risk). If you are buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, be sure to look for any potential hazards to your child's safety such as labels and transfers. These can peel off and create a risk.

If you're not sure about how to use your cot, consult other parents for advice or attend a local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with a manual, read it carefully before you start using it, and be sure to follow the safe-use instructions closely.

Style

This gorgeous cot bed with its sleigh design will look amazing in your nursery. Our panel loved the mix of natural and white pine, as well as its clever features, such as drawers under the bed to store all the baby necessities like bedding, nappies and an enviable assortment of baby clothes. It is also easy to construct with clear instructions and separate screws for each section. Additionally, it can be converted 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 is the teething rails that protect your little one from smacking their head against the cot's side or any other protruding parts of the cot, such as a handle or a corner post, and which can also stop them from chewing on the wood, preventing them from becoming trapped. It also features an opening that can be removed to allow you to get access to your baby. We are thrilled that the cot can be converted into a toddler bed and that it's strong enough to last for up to four years. It also meets the strict UK safety standards, which are listed in the specifications that are listed under each product.

Cot beds can be turned into toddler beds when your child is old enough. This lets you avoid buying a new bed when your child's ready to make the leap. They are more expensive than cribs beds.

If your nursery is small cot beds, a crib may be the best choice for you, as it's smaller and occupies less space, but if your child is likely to spend a lot of time in their parents' room or you want a longer-lasting bed, you should consider a crib.

A crib isn't safe for babies to sleep in if it doesn't meet the strict UK safety standards set out in BS EN 716 and BS 8509, which covers mattress thicknesses, materials and other essential elements of cot mattresses for babies. The slats shouldn't be too close together to ensure that your child doesn't fall out.

Storage

No matter if you're a first-time parent or a seasoned one the amount of things a baby needs is staggering. This is why it's crucial to think about the storage options when you choose 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 can be transformed into a toddler bed or a single bed, increasing their use for a longer time.

Some cot beds can be transformed into a daybed as shown on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is an ideal option for those who prefer a less rigid design as the process of conversion is simple and requires just the removal of one side panel. This allows parents to reduce the expense of a separate bed.

A number of cot sale 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 looks amazing. These items are easily accessible to parents, making it easier for them to feed their baby cot online.

A teething rail is another desired feature that is found in some cots. This will stop your child from chewing on the cot's wooden structure, which could cause irritation. Some cots are designed in an older style and include a large under-bed storage drawer that is perfect for storing blankets, toys, clothes and other baby essentials.

This is a great option if space is an issue but you'll need to purchase a drawer separately. You may also need to buy a new mattress and bedding since oval mattresses and sheets are not typically included with the cot itself.
