How to Choose the Best cot for newborn Cot Beds for Your Baby

If you're expecting a baby it is essential to select the right cot that is safe and secure for your child. Choose a cot that has fixed sides (rather than drop-sides), which comply with strict UK safety standards.

Our top choice is this simple but elegant cot 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 babies comfy and cosy. Choose a breathable, soft fabric. Make sure that the mattress is snug to eliminate any gaps that could cause a risk of being suffocated. There are a range of mattresses available that include coil springs, foam and natural materials for allergy sufferers - so do your research before deciding on the one that is suitable for your baby's requirements.

If you choose a standard or convertible cot, the key to satisfaction is a high-quality mattress that is supportive and promotes a healthy posture. The slats must be securely attached and not sliding. The slats should also be securely connected to the frame so that your child does not get caught when they move in their sleep.

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

In terms of style there's a broad selection from classic sleigh styles with elaborate details to sleek, contemporary designs. Some are decorated with bright primary colors to make your child feel happy and cheerful when they awake.

Most cots come with drawers underneath to store items as well as teething rails that protect your baby from chewing on the sides of the cot and adjustable height bases for baby growth. You can also purchase a drop-side for infants who aren't tall enough or suffer from medical conditions that make it difficult for them to bend over.

Find a cot that meets the strict UK safety standards and can easily be converted into a toddler's bed when it is time. This information can be found in the product description and the specifications.

Safety

A secure sleeping space is essential and a big factor when selecting a bed. The mattress should be snugly fitted and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the edges or sides of the cot or 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 thick could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies sell mattresses in different materials including foam and natural materials that are great for those suffering from allergies. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has drop sides, make sure that it is in the up position and locked securely.

Drop sides should only be permitted down when an adult is in the room. This will prevent accidental release. If your coffin has a solid bottom, avoid placing it against the wall because it can block airflow and could cause the death of a coffin. According to the latest research, cots with slatted edges are safer since they permit more airflow.

If your crib has a fixed edge, opt for this as it will be safest when your child begins to crawl and then pull themselves up. When your child is confidently standing and climbing, it is a sign that they are ready to move into the junior bed.

Some cots come with a feature that allows the base to be raised up to three different levels. This is a fantastic security feature that allows your child's cot to grow with them. Some cots also have adjustable footplates, which are ideal for toddlers who wish to sit up in their beds.

When putting your child's cot in the crib be sure that there aren't any obvious dangers. It should be placed away from heaters and power points. Also be sure to keep it away from windows, curtains and blind cords. All of these could pose a strangulation risk. When purchasing second-hand furniture, or heirlooms, be sure to look out for choking hazards such as stickers and transfers. They can come off and pose a danger.

If you're unsure of how to use your cot safely you can ask parents around or go to the local NCT New Baby course for support and advice. If your crib comes with a manual be sure to read it before using it and follow the instructions.

Style

With its beautiful sleigh design This stunning cot bed will look amazing in your nursery. Our panel was impressed by the combination of natural and white pine, as well as its smart features, including drawers under the bed to store all those baby essentials like nappies, bedding, and an enviable assortment of baby clothes. It's also a breeze to put together with clear instructions and separate sets of screws for each section. It can also be converted into a toddler desk and bed as your child gets older (see the product description for more information).

The rails for teething are among our top features. They keep your baby from hitting their head on the side of the crib or any protruding part of the crib, like the handle or corner post. They also stop them from chewing on the wood, and prevent them from being suffocated. There's also a drop-side for easier access to your infant. We are thrilled that the cot can be converted into a toddler bed, and that it's strong enough to last for up to four years. It also complies with strict UK safety standards. These are listed in the specifications below for each product.

Cot beds can be turned into toddler beds in the event that your child is old enough. This lets you not have to buy an entirely new bed when your child's ready to go up. They are more expensive than a crib.

If your nursery is very small, a crib could be the best cots option for you as it is smaller and takes up less space, but if your baby is likely to spend much of their time in their parents' bedroom or you'd like a more long-lasting bed, consider a crib.

If the cot you are using does not meet the UK safety standards set by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which covers mattress thicknesses, materials and other key elements of baby mattress cots) it is not safe for babies to sleep. The slats must not be too wide apart to prevent your baby cot online from falling out.

Stores

If you're a new parent or a seasoned one the amount of items the baby will require is immense. This is the reason it's important to think about the storage options when you choose the cot bed. A number of cots have additional storage options such as drawers in the under-bed or a coordinating cot top changer (available separately). Some are even able to be converted to a toddler or a small single bed, which can extend their usefulness for a longer period of time.

Some cot beds can be further adapted into a day bed, as seen here on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is an excellent option for those who like a more flexible design. The conversion is simple and only requires the removal of ONE side panel. This lets parents save money on a separate bed.

A number of cot beds feature a hanging rail which can be used to store muslins dolls and other small objects. This helps keep everything neat, tidy and organized. It also looks great. These items are easily accessible to parents which makes it easier for them to feed their baby.

A teething rail is an additional important feature that's included in some cots. This will prevent your child from chewing on the wooden cot, which can cause irritation. Some cots offers feature a more traditional design and have a huge storage drawer beneath the bed, which is perfect for toys, clothes blankets, and other baby necessities.

While this is a great idea 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 have to buy a new mattress and bedding, as oval mattresses and sheets aren't typically included in the cot itself.

This sleigh-style cot bed a beautiful illustration of Scandi style at its best. It has a large under-bed storage compartment that's ideal for keeping all baby essentials out-of-sight but within easy access. The alphabetically labeled pieces and clear instructions made it easy to assemble for our panel. It's suitable for infants from birth and can be transformed into a toddler bed when your child is ready, which means it's good value too.
