Crib Sets - Everything You Need For Your Newborn to Sleep Soundly From Day One

The best cot bed crib sets come with everything you need for your infant to rest comfortably from day one. They are pre-shrunk and machine washable. They are designed to fit snugly around the mattress, and avoid the risk of bunching, which is a serious risk to the safety of babies.

One tester for parents said she used hers through two babies and passed it on to a friend which makes it a wise purchase. Its minimalist design makes it a great option for smaller nurseries.

Bedding

When it concerns crib bedding, there are plenty of options out there. It's not only about picking one that is in line with your style. You also want to ensure that the bedding fits tightly and does not gather in areas where it could pose the risk of choking your child. It must also be soft to the touch and durable enough to withstand months of diaper blowouts and spit-up without wearing out too quickly.

The Avocado set is one of our top picks. It contains two sheets made of 100% certified organic GOTS cotton. The textiles are also MADE SAFE certified, an independent third-party certification that guarantees that the company's products meet the highest standards of quality and safety. They're pre-shrunk so they won't stretch or shrink after washing, and they're made to fit on a standard crib mattress (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). They're also machine washable for the inevitable mess that your little bundle of joy is sure to make.

A crib mattress pad is another great option for babies and toddlers. It provides an additional layer of comfort and protects the mattress from spills and staining. Find mattresses that are less than an inch thick to ensure your child can still breathe easily. Avoid things that are too soft or has long ribbons, bows and other ornaments that could be removed and create the risk of strangulation.

Consider buying an adjustable crib if you intend to keep your baby in the crib cot for sale a long period of time. These beds usually convert to a toddler bed, and sometimes to full-size cheap cot beds or a daybed as well. Some cribs come with the required conversion kits included but some require a purchase.

Some of our top cribs are this Dream On Me Ashton 5-in-1 crib in a sleigh style, which is constructed of solid wood and features one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who are worried about reaching down to a low mattress). It's also Greenguard Gold-certified, which means it meets the strictest environmental standards to prevent gassing.

Mattress

Firmness and size are important when it comes to a crib mattress. The AAP recommends a mattress that is firm which fits snugly, and doesn't leave an indentation on the surface when you lay the sheet over it. The mattress should be the appropriate size for the crib and remain in place when your child is out of it.

You should also determine whether the mattress has chemicals that may harm your child. Find a mattress that is free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which release an unpleasant chemical smell. A good indicator is a certificate from CertiPUR-US which confirms that the foam used in mattresses is free of Ozone depleters, PBDEs and TDCPP and TCEP flame retardants, mercury, lead and other heavy metals, formaldehyde Phthalates that are regulated by the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and volatile organic compounds.

Other factors to consider include the mattress's weight and whether or not it's waterproof. A surface that is waterproof or wipeable is more suitable for cleaning because you'll be changing sheets at night. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2-Stage is the most heavy of the bunch we tested at 20 lbs that could be a turnoff for some parents.

Another aspect to be aware of is if the mattress has a dual-sided. Some include a firm side for infants and an easy toddler side. Pediatricians suggest flipping your child's mattress when they reach the height of normal growth. This is typically at around 12 months.

We tested the mattresses by weight and observed how easily they folded to cover the sides of the crib with sheets. We also placed an 8-pound weight which is slightly heavier than the weight of a newborn infant, on each mattress to see how it reacted. The most comfortable mattresses did not sink, which means they offer enough support to prevent your child from falling over or getting suffocated. The mattresses we tested had a removable cover that is machine washable and is water-proof. This makes cleaning them and maintaining them a breeze.

Crib Rails

A crib would not be complete without the right set of fixed rails. While some baby furniture companies offer baby rails with their cribs and others sell them separately. If you choose to buy them on their own, make sure they meet all safety standards. For instance, they must be free of any missing or loose screws, brackets or other hardware. They should be strong enough to support your child's weight without being too thin. They must also secure themselves in place so that they are not able to be removed by your child.

The right crib rails will not only be sturdy but they must also fit comfortably within the crib frame. This will keep the mattress from being too flimsy, which can cause harm to your baby. When you purchase crib rails, make sure to examine the inside of the frame, as there are slight variations in the size of cribs. The ideal space should not be more than three fingers wide.

It is also important to ensure that the crib rails do not include any cutouts with decorative designs or other ornaments. They could pose an suffocation threat. You should also avoid placing pillows blankets, blankets, quilts, and sheepskins in the crib, because they can cause a dangerous carbon dioxide build-up and increase your baby's risk of SIDS. If you're looking to provide a soft sleeping surface in the crib, consider a crib pad-and-cover combo. They consist of an upholstered mattress pad, an elongated waterproof lining as well as a fitted "skirt" that wraps around the mattress like a fitted sheet.

You'll also need to make sure that you have the correct crib rail guards. They are designed to cushion the head of your child if it hits the crib railings while you feed them or cradling them beside the bed. They can also help prevent teeth marks and drool discoloration on the crib's railings that are fixed.

When your child is no longer in the crib, you'll need a toddler guard rail to ensure your child's safety in the bed until they're ready for an adult bed. Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that can fit on most cribs that are standard. It is easy to install and complies with CPSC safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Certain crib design elements are strictly aesthetic and subject to personal taste, but others like the style of the slats that are on the crib or the possibility of it converting into a toddler bedcan have a major impact on the comfort of the crib and its lifespan. The most durable cribs beds are made of solid wood, comply with various safety standards and can be easily adapted to different mattress heights. Some have special features that make them more efficient, such as the Quick Zip Crib Sheet that allows you to swap the sheets without taking the entire mattress from the crib.

In general, you should avoid cribs with ornamental cut-outs or other ornaments that could catch on clothing or pose a choking risk for infants. Be sure to check the crib's hardware for loose bolts and other items that can catch on clothing or objects.

The best crib sets include easy-to-follow instructions and all necessary parts including hardware. Modern cribs typically take half-hour or less to put together, and many include all the tools you'll need.

You may also want to consider a convertible crib that could transform into daybed, toddler bed or a full-size bed. This is a good option for families that plan to use the crib for a number of years or have limited space. It's important to keep in mind that some crib conversion kits require a second purchase to fully complete the process.

It isn't easy to comprehend crib hardware, but it's crucial for security and stability. The majority of cribs are made up of rectangular blocks, wedges (also known as "shims") and large chocks, also known as step chocks. They're all designed to tighten up connections between the crib and the supported surface.

Some chocks and shims are made of soft woods which crack slowly, which can provide audible warnings before they fail, while stiffer wooden materials may break suddenly and with greater force. Plastic shims or chocks are also available for purchase. They are simpler to install since they do not require drilling into the surface.
