Budget

There's a cot to fit every nursery and budget. There are a variety of options with different lifespans some of which can be transformed into toddler beds that can be used in the preschool years or beyond. Naturally, those that convert into beds are generally more expensive, but the investment can really pay off in the event that you need an item that lasts for a long time instead of just the duration of a few months.

The Mamas & Papas Coxley won our overall award. Its gorgeous aesthetics and easy-to assemble design make it a great option for parents looking for an upscale cot that can last a lifetime. Our testers for parents loved the minimalist design and warm oak finish of this model, which looks amazing in a modern-style Scandi nursery. The cot bed also comes with a handy drawer that mum tester Katrina thought was superior to cheaper cots that have an integrated drawer, as well as an anti-bite plastic strip along the top of the cot rails to protect your child from getting their teeth stuck in the bars. This cot bed is not cheap, and requires an Allen key to set up.

A less expensive option that will still give your baby a good night's sleep is the cot that's Elementary from John Lewis' Anyday range.

The cot is compact when folded and can be put away and easily tucked away into a bag that's about the size of the carry case of a camping chair.

We recommend the SnuzKot for another budget-friendly cot, especially if it comes with the toddler kit (sold separately) and mattress extender. It will expand with your child until approximately four years old and our dad tester liked the fact that it was able to transform into a minimalist toddler bed and gave an ambiance of cocoons by incorporating a fabric canopy.

Design

When buying a cot bed it's easy to be engrossed in the specifications and safety features, but don't neglect the design. It's crucial to select a cot bed that is both functional and beautiful.

Our mum tested it and found it sturdy and robust, with a three-position base height that allows the bed to grow with your child.

The Modena cot-bed by Tutti Bambini is a great value and comes in a panelled design that can fit in with any nursery. It's designed to last until your child reaches six years old, and then it transforms first into a junior bed, and later into a chic sofa bed. It's also one of the only cot beds we've tested with an opening, a hanging rail and teething rails.

While most cots can be converted to toddler beds through the purchase of a conversion kit, some cot sale beds are designed to go further than this. The Boori Eton Cot Bed is our top pick. It converts into an infant (L207cm, W147cm H90cm), the daybed (L234cm, W145cm and H70cm) and a sofa (L234cm, W145cm and H70cm). This makes it the longest-lasting selection on our list, since it is designed to last through from birth to childhood.

It's expensive when compared to other cot beds we've test, but it comes with an elegant design and feel that will fit in with any nursery.

This is not a major issue however, since it was incredibly simple and took less than thirty minutes to complete.

Another great aspect of this cot is that it has four mattress heights for the base which is an upgrade on the three most common options. This lets you adjust the cot as your child grows. They may need a lower or higher base level based on their age and ability. It includes teething rails that are useful and a plastic strip on the top to keep it from getting bitten.
