When you are expecting a baby it is essential to choose a cot that will provide safety and security for your baby. Find a cot which has fixed sides, instead of drop-sides. This will meet UK safety standards.

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

Comfort

The best cot beds keep children warm and cozy. Choose a breathable soft, soft fabric. Make sure that the mattress is snug to avoid any gaps that could create the risk of suffocation. There are a variety of mattresses available - coils springs, foam, and natural materials for allergy-sufferers. Do your research to find the best one for your child.

No matter if you select a standard or convertible cot, the most important thing to ensure comfort is a mattress of high-quality that is supportive and encourages healthy posture. The same is true for the slats, which should be secured and not bent or sagging. The slats need to be securely connected to the frame to ensure that your child does not get caught when they move in their sleep.

If you're unsure of the mattress to buy, ask your family and friends or consult online reviews for suggestions. Choose a mattress that is breathable, as they'll help maintain temperature and are less likely to harbour bacteria.

When it comes to style, there's a wide choice of styles, from traditional sleigh designs with intricate detailing to sleek, modern designs. Some are decorated with bright primary colors to make your child feel cheerful and cheerful when they wake up.

The majority of cots have a drawer for storage underneath, teething rails that prevent your child from chewing on the sides of the cot, and height bases that are adjustable to accommodate the growth of your baby. You can even buy drop sides for small babies or those with medical conditions that make it difficult for them to bend over.

Choose a cot that meets the strict UK safety standard and is easily converted into a toddler's bed when it's time. Look for this information in the product description or in the specifications.

Safety

A safe and secure sleeping environment is an essential aspect to consider when choosing a crib. The mattress should be snugly fitted and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the ends or sides of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps could restrict the child's arms or head). Verify that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Mattresses that are too thick could increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer mattresses made of various materials including foam and natural materials that are suitable for allergy sufferers. Some have anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has a drop-side, make sure it is locked and in the up position.

A drop side should only be allowed to drop only if an adult is present, this will prevent accidental releases. If your coffin has a solid edge do not place it against the wall because it can block airflow and can cause coffin death. According to the most recent research, slatted end cots are safer since they allow for more airflow.

If your crib has a fixed edge, opt for this as it will be safest when your child starts to crawl and pull themselves up. When your child is climbing with confidence and standing, it's time to move to a junior bed.

Some cots and tots come with an option that allows the base to be raised to three different levels. This is a wonderful security measure that allows your child's cot to expand with them. Some cots have adjustable footplates that are perfect for toddlers who like to stand up.

When putting your child's cot in the crib ensure there aren't any obvious dangers. It should be kept away from power and heater points. Also make sure it is away from windows, curtains, and blind cords. All of these could create strangulation risks. If you're buying furniture that is second-hand or an heirloom Be sure to check for potential hazards to choking such as stickers and transfers that may be removed and create danger.

If you're unsure of what you should do to use your cot, consult other parents for advice or take part in a local NCT New Baby class. If your cot has an instruction manual, read it carefully before you start using it, and follow the safety-use guidelines carefully.

Style

This stunning cot bed with its sleigh style will look fantastic in your nursery. Our panel loved the mix of white and natural pine, and its innovative features, like under-bed storage drawers that can hold all those baby essentials like bedding, nappies and a dazzling variety of baby outfits. It's also easy to assemble with clear instructions and separate sets of screws for each section. It can also be converted into a toddler's desk and bed when your child gets older (see product description for more details).

One of our favorite features are the teething rails, which shield your little one from smacking their head against the cot's side or any protruding parts of the cot like handles or a corner post, and which will also stop them from chewing on the wood, preventing them from getting suffocated. There's also an opening that can be removed to allow parents to reach their newborn. We appreciate that it is able to be converted to a toddler bed, and it's sturdy enough to last for four years. It also met the strict UK safety standards, which you'll find in the key specs beneath each product.

Cot beds are typically larger than cribs and can be turned into toddler beds once your child is ready, allowing you to avoid buying another bed at an age when they're ready to transition. However, they are more expensive than the crib that is standard.

If your nursery is small, you might be considering a crib. It is smaller and requires less space. However should you be planning to spend a lot of your baby's time in your room or you need a bed that will last longer, you should choose a cot.

A cot isn't safe for babies to sleep in if it does not meet the strict UK safety standards outlined in BS EN 716 and BS 8509, which deals with the thickness of mattresses, the materials used and other essential elements of cot mattresses for babies. The slats should not be too far apart to stop your child from falling out.

Storage

Whether you're a first-time parent or an experienced one, the amount of stuff that a baby requires is overwhelming. This is why it's essential to think about storage options when selecting a crib bed. Certain cots offer additional storage options, such as drawers underneath the bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Some cots can be converted into an infant bed or a small single bed to extend their usage.

Some cot beds can be further adapted into a day bed, as seen here on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great option for those who prefer an unstructured design since the process of conversion is simple and involves the removal of one side panel. It also lets parents save money on a separate bed purchase.

A number of cot beds feature a hanging rail which can be used to store muslins, dolls and other small objects. This helps to keep everything organised tidy, neat and tidy - and it also looks fantastic. Having easy access to these items will make it easier for parents to feed their infant.

A teething rail is an additional desired feature that is found in some cots. This will stop your child from chewing on the wooden cot, which can cause irritation. Some cots are designed in an older style and include a large under-bed storage drawer that is perfect to store blankets, toys, clothes and other baby necessities.

This is a great solution when space is a problem, but you will have to purchase a drawer separately. You may also need to purchase a different mattress and bedding since sheets and mattresses that are oval aren't usually included in the cheap cot beds.

This sleigh cot bed from Stokke is a beautiful example of Scandi-style at its best and comes with a massive under-bed storage drawer that's perfect to keep baby essentials out of sight but within easy reach. The alphabetically labeled components and clear instructions made it easy to assemble our panel. It's suitable for babies from birth and can be transformed into a toddler's crib when your child is ready.
