Easy to Assemble

It's easy to get caught up in the spec and safety features when you shop for a cot bed, but don't forget the design of the furniture as well. It is important that your cot bed blends in with the design of the nursery.

We love this white and wood cot bed from Silver Cross, which isn't expensive, but it looks luxurious.

The cot is easy to construct with clear instructions and an Allen key provided. It took our test participant just 12 minutes to put it together it, which she thought was impressive considering it's a sturdy and durable piece of furniture. The mattress slats have been fixed to ensure the longevity of the cot. Our tester also liked how the sides of the cot are low enough to make it easy to take a baby inside and out - perfect for when you're changing nappies or feedings!

There are a variety of types of wood for the frame of this cot, which can help to change the look and design. Mahogany, for instance is rich in color and can add a luxurious look to your nursery while oak is durable and can hold its shape well. The wood bed cot is FSC certified, which means it is environmentally friendly.

This cot bed is used up until your child is at the age of four, at which point it can be converted to a toddler bed. The slatted base comes with three mattress height positions, that can be adjusted as your little one grows. It is constructed from top-quality materials, and has been tested to ensure it is in line with the most recent British and European standards for safety.

Modern Design

A white and wood crib is a chic option for any nursery. Its clean lines, Scandinavian style and elegant design give it an elegant appearance that will last through childhood and beyond. A lot of cot beds are designed to expand with your child and come with adjustable mattress heights and the option of changing it into the size of a toddler bed or a single bed.

Choosing a quality cot mattress is essential to ensure that your child has the best night's sleep. The most suitable cot mattresses are made with natural fibres like wool, cotton, or organic latex. They should be breathable to prevent your baby from overheating. Avoid PU mattresses, as they are more expensive but have a shorter lifespan and break down faster when they are wet.

By taking the side rails off a bed for a cot you can easily transform it into a toddler's bed. This will allow your child the ability to get up and down from bed independently. The Leander Linea cot and the Stokke Sleepi Mini have this functionality, and the slats can be removed once your toddler has grown out of the cot.

When you are looking for a new cot, look for one that is compliant with the safety standards established by industry and government bodies. Check for features such as a sturdy construction, an edge raised to prevent your toddler from getting out of bed, and the ability to lower its base when it starts to rise up.

It is also essential to make sure that your cot bed can be used with an ordinary fitted mattress and that it is the appropriate size. The ideal dimensions for the mattress of a cot are 140cm by 70cm. This is larger than the typical single mattress.

If you're looking for a chic and practical wooden cot and bed that can evolve with your child, you should consider the Oliver Furniture dark wood cot bed Mini+. The minimalist design of the brand, non-visible screws and solid birch construction ensure the highest quality finish. It's also a green option since the cot is FSC-certified and only uses European forests, making it more eco-friendly than conventional wood products.

Sturdy Construction

When preparing your baby's arrival there are a lot of things to consider. There are many decisions and options to consider from the nursery to the food and clothing plans. The cot mattress is among the most important.

Mattresses for cots must be strong enough to support the tiny infants and babies. They should also be progressive in response to movement, pressure and turning. Spring mattresses and foam mattresses that are cheap deform easily and are less responsive than latex-coated Coir or pocket spring mattress. They will last longer and are more beneficial for your baby's spine.

When choosing a wood and white cot bed, it is essential to make sure that the mattress has an adjustable height base to accommodate your baby's growth. This is a safety feature that can help you encourage your child to climb up and down independently. This will give them a sense of independence and boost their self-esteem, as they learn to get in and out of bed.

A high-quality cot bed can also be converted into a toddler bed which will extend its lifespan and help you save money on replacements down the line. Oliver Furniture's Wood cot, for instance, features adjustable mattress heights, as well as short side rails with a grid. It also comes with three bars that can be removed.

The Obaby Evie Cot Bed is a perfect addition to a modern nursery. Its sleek lines and elegant style will complement any nursery. It is constructed from sturdy pine wood and comes with a luxurious mahogany finish which will add the perfect touch of class to any room. It also features a stylish canopy and teething rails as well as an under-bed storage compartment. It also converts into a toddler bed and is compatible with the Silver Cross TrueFit cot mattress to allow your child to sleep soundly until they are ready to move to a standard single bed.

Practical Storage

The most reliable cots aren't only secure, they're also stylish and practical. If you're looking for traditional sleigh beds or prefer something more modern there's a cot there that can meet your needs and budget.

You can choose from a simple drawer under the bed or a more extensive wardrobe when it comes to organizing your cot. The former is an ideal way to store all of the baby's bedding and clothes in one location and is ideal for those who don't have much spare space in their homes. You could also choose an item that is closed and is ideal for keeping nappies and other essentials out of sight, but easily accessible.

The Obaby Stamford Sleigh Cotbed is a cot that will grow with your child. It is made to last until the toddler is ready to go to their big kid bed. It also has many amazing features like a large storage drawer and teething bars. They are a great way to prevent your child from slipping out of bed during the night and the cot also features raised side panels to help contain them and stop them from escaping from bed.

The Great Little Trading Company Little Wren Cot Bed is another great alternative. It's priced a bit cheaper than other cot beds that are of high quality but still provides an excellent value for the money. It's made of FSC pine and comes with three mattress height positions. Our testers considered it to be the most simple to put together due to its alphabetically labelled flatpack components and easy-to-follow instructions.

If you don't have much space for your floor, or want to keep your baby's items out of the way, a Trundle chest is the best solution. They can be a really useful accessory to any bedroom and can be used to store bedding books, toys, books and other household clutter. They are easy to clean and buy an trundle kit that can turn your trunk into a handy changing station with a mat.
