How to Choose the Best Cot Beds for Your Baby

If you are expecting a baby it is crucial to select a cot which can provide security and safety for your cheap baby cots. Choose a cot that has fixed sides, instead of drop-sides. This will comply with UK safety standards.

This slick and elegant crib is our top pick from the Anyday range by John Lewis. It comes with three mattress height positions, teething rails, and a storage drawers. It's also simple to put together with clear instructions.

Comfort

The best cot beds keep children warm and cozy. Choose a soft, airy fabric, and ensure that the mattress fits snugly to avoid any gaps, which could cause the risk of suffocation. There are many mattresses available - foam, coil springs and other natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers. So do your research and choose the one that is suitable for your baby's requirements.

It doesn't matter if you pick a standard cot or a convertible, a good mattress is vital to your comfort. It must provide the right support and encourage a healthy posture. The same applies to the slats, which must be securely attached and not bent or sagging. The slats should also be secured to the frame, so that your little one doesn't get stuck in them while they move during sleep.

If you're not sure which mattress to buy, ask friends and family or check online reviews for recommendations. Make sure you choose a mattress that's breathable, as they'll help to regulate temperature and are less likely to harbor bacteria.

There are a myriad of styles to pick from such as traditional sleighs, with intricate details and modern, sleek designs. Some are even painted with vibrant primary colours which is perfect for those who want their little one to wake up bright and happy!

Most cots come with drawers underneath to store items as well as teething rails that protect your child from chewing on the sides of the cot, as well as adjustable height bases to accommodate baby's growth. You can even purchase a drop side for smaller babies or those with medical conditions that make it difficult for them to bend over.

To ensure your peace of mind, look for a cot that complies with the strict UK safety standards and can easily transform into an infant bed when the time is appropriate. This information is available in the product description as well as the specifications.

Safety

When choosing a cot a safe sleeping environment should be the top priority. Make sure that the mattress fits snugly, with no gap between it and the cot's bed sides or ends (big gaps could keep your child's head from being caught in the arms). Make sure it's firm and thin - thicker mattresses aren't recommended, because they can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in various materials, from foam to natural materials that are suitable for those suffering from allergies. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has drop-sides, ensure that it is secured and in the upward position.

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

If your cot is set to one side, you should choose it. It will be the safest option for your baby when they begin to crawl and pull themselves up. When your child is confidently standing and climbing, this is a sign they're ready to move into the junior bed.

Some cots have a feature that allows the base to be raised to three levels. This is a great security feature that allows your child's cot to grow with them. Some cots have footplates that are adjustable, which is great for toddlers who want to sit up in their bed.

When placing your child's cot be sure that there aren't any obvious dangers. It should be put away from power and heater points. Also, keep it away from windows, curtains, and blind cords. All of these could pose a strangulation risk. If you are buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, be sure to look for any choking hazards such as stickers and transfers. They may peel off and cause danger.

If you are unsure about how to use your cot, ask other parents for advice or go to a local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with a manual, read it carefully before using it, and be sure to follow the safety-use guidelines carefully.

Style

This stunning cot bed with its sleigh design will look amazing in your nursery. Our panel was impressed by the mix of natural and white pine, and its smart features, including drawers under the bed to store all those baby essentials like nappies, bedding and a stunning variety of baby outfits. It's also simple to put together, with concise instructions and separate sets of screws for each section. Additionally, it can be transformed into a toddler bed and desk when your child gets older (see the product's description for more details).

One of our most loved features are the teething rails which protect your little one from bumping their head against the cot's side or any protruding parts of the cot, such as the handle or corner post. They also help stop them chewing on the wood, which prevents them from being trapped. It also features a drop-side to make it easier for 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 up to four years. It also meets the strict UK safety standards, which you'll find in the key specs beneath each product.

Cot beds can be transformed into toddler beds when your child is old enough. This allows you to avoid purchasing a new crib when your child is ready to move up. However, they can be more expensive than a crib that is standard.

If your nursery is small, a crib could be the best choice for you since it is smaller and takes up less space, but if your baby is likely to spend a lot of time in their parents' bedroom or you'd like a more long-lasting bed, you should consider a cot sales.

If the cot you are using does not meet the UK safety standards outlined by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which covers mattress thicknesses, materials, and other important elements of Baby Cot Bed cot mattresses), it is unsafe for babies to sleep. The slats shouldn't be too far apart to stop your baby from falling off.

Storage

No matter if you're a first-time parent or a veteran the amount of things that a baby requires is overwhelming. It's important to consider storage when choosing a cot-bed. Some cots come with additional storage options, including drawers under the bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Some are even able to be converted into a toddler bed or a single bed, extending their usefulness for a longer period of time.

Some cot beds can be further transformed into a daybed as shown on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great option for those who like the flexibility of a design. The conversion is easy and requires only the removal of ONE side panel. This allows parents to save money on a separate bed.

A variety of cot beds feature a hanging rail which can be used to store muslins, dummies and other small items. This helps to keep everything organized, neat and tidy and also looks fantastic. These items are easily accessible to parents and make it easier for them to feed their baby.

A teething rail is a desirable feature that is included in some cots. This will help prevent your little one chewing on the wood, which could cause irritation. Some cots are designed in more traditional designs and include a large under-bed storage drawer that is perfect for storing blankets, toys clothing, and other baby essentials.

This is a great option if space is an issue, but you will have to purchase a drawer separately. You may also have to buy a new mattress and bedding as sheets and mattresses that are oval aren't typically included in the cot.

This sleigh cot bed by Stokke is a stunning example of Scandi-style in its finest and has a huge under-bed storage drawer that's ideal to keep all the baby necessities out of sight but still within reach. Our panel of experts found it easy to put together, thanks to alphabetically labelled parts and clear instructions. It's suitable for babies from birth and can be converted into a toddler bed once your child is ready, which means it's also a good value.
