How to Choose the best cots for newborns Cot Beds for Your Baby

If you're expecting a baby it's crucial to select a cot that's secure and safe for your little one. Choose a cot that has fixed sides rather than drop-sides. This will meet UK safety standards.

Our top choice is this simple but stylish coffin from John Lewis' Anyday range. It comes with three mattress height positions, teething rails and storage drawer. It's also simple to put together with clear instructions.

Comfort

The best cot beds keep baby's warm and comfortable. Look for a soft and airy fabric, and ensure that the mattress is snug to prevent any gaps which could pose a suffocation risk. There are a variety of mattresses available, including foam, coils springs, and natural materials for allergy sufferers. Do your research to find the ideal mattress for your child.

Whatever you decide to use, whether a conventional cot or a convertible one, a comfortable mattress is crucial to ensure your the comfort. It should provide proper support and encourage an ideal posture. The slats must be firmly attached, and not sagging. The slats need to be securely fixed to the frame, so that your child does not become caught in the movement in their sleep.

Ask your family and friends for recommendations or browse online reviews. Choose a mattress that is air-conditioned, as they'll help regulate temperature and are less likely to harbor bacteria.

In terms of style there's a variety of styles, from traditional sleigh styles with intricate details to sleek, contemporary designs. Some are decorated with bright primary colors to make your child feel joyful and cheerful when they awake.

The majority of cots have a drawer for storage underneath, teething rails that prevent your child from chewing the sides of the cot, and height bases that can be adjusted to accommodate the growth of your baby. You can even purchase a drop side for petite babies or those who have health issues that make it difficult to bend over.

For extra peace of mind, look for a cot that meets the strict UK safety standards and can easily transform into an infant bed when the time is right. This information is found in the description of the product and the specifications.

Safety

A safe and secure sleeping environment is an essential aspect to consider when choosing a cot. Make sure that the mattress fits snugly, with no gap between it and the cot's bed sides or ends (big gaps can trap your child's head or arms). Make sure the mattress is firm and thin. Thick mattresses can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in a variety of materials from foam to natural materials that are good cribs for allergy sufferers. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. 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 will prevent accidental release. If your cot has a solid end, avoid placing it against the wall as it can block airflow and can cause the death of a coffin. According to the most recent research, cots with slatted ends could be safer as they permit more airflow.

If your Mini Cot Bed has a fixed side, opt for this as it will be safest when your baby starts to crawl and then pull themselves up. When your child is confidently climbing and standing, it's time to move to a junior bed.

Some cots are equipped with an option that allows the base to be raised to three different levels. This is a great security measure that allows your child's cot to expand with them. Some cots have adjustable footplates that are ideal for toddlers who want to stand up.

When placing your child's cot be sure that there are no visible hazards. It should be put away from power and heater points. Also be sure to keep it away from windows, curtains, and blind cords. They all could create strangulation risks. If you're purchasing furniture from a secondhand store or an heirloom piece, check for choking hazards like stickers and transfers that may be removed and pose danger.

If you are unsure how to safely use your cot, ask other parents for advice or take part in an local NCT New Baby Cot class. If your cot has a manual, read it carefully before using it, and follow the safety guidelines closely.

Style

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

One of our favorite features is the teething rails which protect your baby from bumping their head on the side of the cot or any protruding part of the cot, such as the handle or corner post. They will also stop them from chewing on the wood, preventing them from being in danger of being suffocated. It also features drop-sides to make it easier for you to get access to your baby. We love that it can be converted to a toddler bed, and that it's sturdy enough to last up to four years. It also complies with the stringent UK safety standards, which are listed in the key specs beneath each product.

Cot beds are usually larger than cribs and can be transformed into toddler beds when your child is ready which means you don't have to worry about purchasing a new bed when they're ready to transition. They are more expensive than a crib.

If your nursery is small, you may be considering a crib. It is smaller and occupies less space. However it is recommended to consider a cot if you are planning to spend a significant portion of your baby's time in your room, or if you need a bed that lasts longer, you should consider a cot.

A crib isn't safe 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 covers mattresses' thicknesses, materials, and other key elements of cot mattresses for babies. The slats should not be too close together to ensure that your baby won't fall off.

Storage

The amount of baby equipment you need is overwhelming, regardless of whether you're a new mom or an experienced one. It is important to think about storage when you choose a cot. Some cots come with additional storage options, such as drawers underneath the bed or a top changer (available separately). Some cots are able to be converted into toddler beds or a smaller single beds to expand their use.

Some cot beds can be converted into a daybed as shown on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great choice for those who like the flexibility of a design. The conversion is easy and requires only the removal of ONE side panel. It also lets parents save money on a separate bed purchase.

Some cot beds are equipped with a hanging rail that can be used to hang muslins and dummies and other small things. This makes everything neat, tidy and organised. It also looks great. Being able to access these items will make it easier for parents when feeding their infant.

A teething rail is an additional important feature that's included in some cots. This can help to keep your baby from chewing on the wood that could cause them irritation. Some cots are designed in an older style and have a huge drawer under the bed that is perfect for storing toys, blankets clothes, and other baby essentials.

While this is a great option if you're in a tight space, it's important to remember that you will need to buy a separate additional drawer. You may also need to purchase a different mattress and bedding as oval mattresses and sheets are not typically included with the cot itself.

This sleigh cot bed by Stokke is a lovely example of Scandi-style in its finest and features a huge under-bed storage drawer that's perfect for keeping all those baby essentials out of sight but still within reach. The alphabetically labeled pieces and clear instructions made it easy to assemble for our panel. It's suitable for babies as young as birth, and can be transformed into a toddler's bed once your child is ready.
