How to Choose the Best Cot Beds for Your Baby

If you are expecting a baby it is essential to choose a cot that will ensure safety and security for your baby. Look for a cot that has fixed sides, instead of drop-sides. This will be in line with UK safety standards.

Our top pick is this basic but elegant coffin from John Lewis' Anyday range. It has three mattress positions, teething bars, and an storage drawer. It's also easy to set up with clear instructions.

Comfort

The best cot beds keep baby's warm and comfortable. Choose a soft, breathable fabric and make sure the mattress is snug to avoid any gaps, which could pose an suffocation threat. There are a range of mattresses available on the market that include coil springs, foam and other natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers. So do your research and select the right one for your baby's requirements.

If you choose a convertible or standard cot, the most important thing to ensure comfort is a good-quality mattress that is supportive and promotes healthy posture. This is also true for the slats, which must be firmly attached and not bent or sagging. The slats need to be securely fixed to the frame, so that your child does not get caught when they move during sleep.

Ask your family and friends for recommendations, or read online reviews. Select mattresses that are breathable, since they can aid in regulating your body temperature and less likely to harbor bacteria.

In terms of style, there's a wide choice from classic sleigh styles with intricate details to sleek, contemporary designs. Some are painted in bright primary colours to make your child feel cheerful and happy when they awake.

There are a lot of cots that have drawers underneath to store items, teething rails to protect your child from chewing on the sides of the cot, as well as adjustable height bases to accommodate baby's growth. You can also purchase an extra drop-side for babies that aren't tall enough or have medical conditions that make it difficult for them to bend over.

Look for a cot which is in compliance with the strict UK safety standards and can easily be converted into a toddler's bed when it is time. Look for this information in the description or key specs.

Safety

A secure sleeping space is an essential consideration when choosing a cot. Make sure that the mattress fits snugly, with no gaps between it and the cot/cot beds edges or sides (big gaps could restrict your child's head or arms). Check that it's solid and thin - more thick mattresses aren't recommended as they may increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies sell mattresses in a variety of materials from foam to natural materials that are suitable for allergy sufferers. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has drop sides, make sure it is in the upward position and locked securely.

Drop sides should only be allowed to go to fall when an adult is present in the room. This can prevent accidental releases. Avoid placing your cot against a wall if it has a solid end. This can limit airflow, which could result in death of the coffin. Recent research suggests that slatted ends may be safer because they allow for more airflow.

If your crib has a fixed edge choose this option as it is the most secure option when your child begins to crawl and pull themselves up. Once your child is standing and climbing, it is a sign they're ready to move into the junior bed.

Some cots have a feature where the base can be raised to three different levels, so that it will expand with your child which is extremely useful and is a safety measure. Some cots have adjustable footplates, which are ideal for toddlers wanting to sit up in their bed.

Whenever you place your child in their cot, ensure that there isn't any obvious danger - it should be away from heaters, windows, power points and curtains and blind cords (these can be strangulation hazards). If you're buying furniture that is second-hand or an heirloom be sure to look for any choking hazards like stickers and transfers that may be removed and create a risk.

If you are unsure about how to use your cot, ask other parents for advice or go to an local NCT New Baby Cot Bed class. If your crib sets comes with a manual ensure that you go through it prior to using it and adhere to the instructions.

Style

With its gorgeous sleigh style This stunning cot bed will look amazing in your nursery. The panel was awed by the combination of natural and white wood, as well as the clever features like under-bed storage drawers that can hold all baby essentials, like bedding, nappies and a huge selection of baby clothes. It's also simple to put together, with concise instructions and separate packs of screws for each section. It can also be transformed into a toddler's desk and bed as your child gets older (see the product description for more information).

The rails for teething are one of our favorite features. They stop your baby from hitting their head against the side of the crib or any other protruding part of the crib, such as the handle or corner post. They also stop children from chewing on the wood and preventing them from being suffocated. It also features a drop-side to make it easier for you to get access to your baby. We love that the cot can be transformed into a toddler bed and that it's sturdy enough to last up to four years. It also met the strict UK safety standards. You can find these in the main specifications below each product.

Cot beds can be converted into toddler beds when your child is old enough. This lets you avoid buying a new crib when your child is ready to go up. However, they can be pricier upfront than a standard crib.

If your nursery isn't big enough, you might be considering the possibility of a crib. It is smaller and takes less space. However, if you plan to spend a lot of your baby's time in your bedroom or if you require a bed that will last longer, you should choose a cot.

A cot isn't suitable for babies to sleep in if it doesn't meet the strict UK safety standards as outlined in BS EN 716 and BS 8509, which deals with mattress thicknesses, materials and other key elements of cot mattresses for babies. The slats must not be too close together to ensure that your child doesn't fall off.

Stores

The amount of baby stuff you'll need is a mess regardless of whether you're a first-time parent or a seasoned one. This is why it's essential to think about storage options when choosing the cot bed. Some cots have additional storage options, including drawers underneath the bed or a top changer (available separately). Certain cots can be transformed into a toddler bed or small single beds to expand their usage.

Some cot beds can be converted into a daybed, as seen here on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Mini Cot Bed. This is a great option for those who like a more flexible design. The conversion is simple and requires only the removal of a single side panel. This also allows parents to save money on a bed purchase.

Some cot beds are equipped with hanging rails that can be used to hang muslins and dummies, as well as other small objects. This allows you to keep everything organized tidy, neat and tidy and looks fantastic. Being able to access these items will make it easier for parents to feed their baby.

Another thing to look for is a toothing rail that comes in a few cots. This will stop your child from chewing on the wooden cot which could cause irritation. Some cots come with a more traditional design and include a large storage drawer beneath the bed that is ideal for clothes, toys, blankets and other baby essentials.

While this is a great idea if you're running out of space, you should remember that you will need to buy a separate extra for the drawer. It is also possible to buy a new mattress and bedding, as oval mattresses and sheets aren't usually included in the cot itself.
