How to Choose the Best Cot Beds for Your Baby

If you're expecting a baby it's crucial to select a cot that will be secure and safe for your little one. Find a cot with fixed sides (rather than drop-sides) that meet strict UK safety standards.

Our top pick is this basic but stylish coffin from John Lewis' Anyday range. It comes with three mattress positions, teething bars and storage drawers. It is also simple to assemble, with clear instructions.

Comfort

The best cot beds keep babies comfy and cosy. Choose a soft, airy fabric, and ensure that the mattress is snug to avoid any gaps, which could pose an suffocation threat. There are a variety of mattresses available: foam, coils springs, and natural materials for allergy-sufferers. Do your research to find the best one for your child.

It doesn't matter if you pick a standard cot or a convertible the mattress is vital to your ease of use. It should provide proper support and promote an upright posture. This is also true for the slats. They should be securely attached and not sagging or bent. The slats must also be firmly connected to the frame to ensure that your child does not become caught in the movement during sleep.

Ask your friends and family for recommendations or browse online reviews. Choose mattresses that are breathable, as they will aid in regulating your body temperature, and are less likely to hold bacteria.

There are a myriad of styles to pick from that include traditional sleighs with ornate details and sleek, modern designs. Some are even painted in bold primary colours which is great for those who want their child to wake up feeling bright and content!

The majority of cots have a drawer for storage underneath and teething rails that stop your child from chewing the sides of the cot and height bases that are adjustable to accommodate baby's growth. You can also purchase a drop-side for babies who aren't big or have medical conditions that make it hard to bend over.

Choose a cot that meets the strict UK safety standard and is easily transformed into a toddler's bed when it is time. Find this information in the description or key specs.

Safety

When choosing a cot, the safety of your child's sleep should be the top rated cots priority. The mattress should fit snugly and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps can hold the child's arms and head). Verify that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Mattresses that are too thick can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a choice of mattresses, from simple foam to natural substances for allergy sufferers. Some contain anti-microbial treatments. If your cot has an inclined side, make sure that it is in the up position and locked securely.

A drop side should be allowed to fall when an adult is present - this prevents accidental release. Avoid placing your cot on walls if it has an end that is solid. This could restrict airflow, which can lead to coffin death. According to the most recent research, slatted end cots are safer since they allow for more airflow.

If your cot has a fixed side choose this option as it's safer when your baby starts to crawl and then pull themselves up. When your child is standing and climbing, it is a sign they're ready to move into the junior bed.

Some cheap cots are equipped with an option that allows the base to be raised to three different levels. This is a wonderful security feature that allows your child's cot to grow with the child. Some cots have adjustable footplates that are perfect for toddlers who love to stand up.

When you place your child's cot, make sure there aren't any obvious dangers. It should be kept away from heaters and power points. Also make sure it is 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 check for potential hazards to your child's safety such as labels and transfers. They may peel off and cause danger.

If you're unsure of how to use your cot in a safe manner consult other parents or visit a local NCT New Baby course for support and advice. If your cot comes with a manual be sure to go through it before using it and follow all the directions.

Style

This gorgeous cot bed, with its sleigh-style design will look amazing in your nursery. Our panel members loved the mix of natural and white pine, and its smart features, including under-bed storage drawers to keep all those baby essentials like bedding, nappies and a stunning array of baby outfits. It's also simple to build with clear instructions and separate screws for each section. What's more, it can be converted into a toddler bed and desk as your baby gets older (see the product's description for more details).

The teething rails are among our top features. They stop your baby from hitting their head on the side of the crib or any other protruding part of the crib, like the handle or corner post. They also prevent children from chewing on the wood and preventing them from suffocating. The cot also has an opening that can be removed to allow parents to reach their newborn. We love that the cot can be transformed into a toddler bed and that it's strong enough to last for four years. It also met the strict UK safety standards, which are listed in the key specs beneath each product.

Cot cribs beds can be transformed into toddler beds if your child is old enough. This allows you to not have to buy an entirely new bed as your child gets ready to make the leap. However, they can be more expensive upfront than the standard crib.

If your nursery isn't big enough, you might be considering the possibility of a crib. It is smaller and occupies less space. However it is recommended to consider a Mini Cot Bed if you are planning to spend a significant portion of your baby's time in the room or if you require an item that lasts longer, you should choose a cot.

If a cot doesn't meet the UK safety standards outlined by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which refers to mattress thicknesses, materials and other key elements in baby mattress cots) it is not safe for babies to sleep. The slats must not be too far apart to prevent your baby from falling out.

Storage

The amount of baby stuff you'll need is a mess whether you're a new parent or an experienced one. This is why it's crucial to consider the storage options when you choose the right crib bed. Certain cots offer additional storage options, like drawers underneath the bed or a top changer (available separately). Some can even be adapted into a toddler or small single bed, which can extend their usefulness for a longer period of time.

Some cot beds can be further adapted into a day bed as shown on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great option for those who like an edgier design. The conversion is simple and only requires the removal of a single side panel. This will allow parents to save on the cost of the purchase of a separate bed.

Some cot beds are equipped with a hanging rail that can be used to hang muslins and dolls and other small objects. This allows you to keep everything organized tidy and neat - and it also looks amazing. These items are easily accessible to parents, making it easier for parents to feed their child.

Another desirable feature to look out for is a teething rail that is available with cots. This can help to prevent your little one chewing on the wood that could cause irritation. Some cots have an older style and have a huge storage drawer underneath the bed, which is perfect for toys, clothes, blankets and other baby essentials.

While this is a great idea for when you're short on space, it's important to remember that you will need to buy a separate extra drawer. You may also need to buy a new mattress and bedding since sheets and mattresses that are oval aren't typically included in the cot itself.

This sleigh cot bed from Stokke is a beautiful example of Scandi-style in its finest and has a huge under-bed storage drawer that's ideal to keep Baby Cot Bed essentials out of sight but still within reach. Our panel found it very easy to put together, thanks to the alphabetically labeled parts and clear instructions. It's suitable for babies from birth and can be made into a toddler's crib when your child is ready.
