If you're expecting a child it is essential to select a cot that will be secure and safe for your baby. Look for a cot that has fixed sides instead of drop-sides. This will be in line with UK safety standards.

This minimalist, elegant cot is our top choice from the Anyday range by John Lewis. It comes with three mattress height positions, teething rails and storage drawers. It's also easy to set up with clear instructions.

Comfort

The best cot beds keep baby's warm and comfortable. Look for a soft, comfortable fabric. Also, make sure that the mattress fits snugly to prevent any gaps which could cause the risk of suffocation. There are many types of mattresses available, including coils springs, foam and even natural materials for allergy sufferers. Do your research to determine the best one for your child.

No matter if you select a standard or convertible cot, the key to comfort is a good-quality mattress that provides proper support and promotes a healthy posture. The slats need to be securely attached and not sliding. The slats must also be securely fixed to the frame, to ensure that your child does not be caught when they move in their sleep.

Ask your friends and family for recommendations, or read online reviews. Choose mattresses that are breathable, as they help regulate your body temperature and are less likely to hold bacteria.

There are a myriad of styles to pick from that include traditional sleighs with intricate details and modern, sleek designs. Some are even painted with vibrant primary colours which is perfect if you want your child to wake up bright and content!

Most cots come with a drawer underneath for storage and teething rails to guard your child from chewing on the sides of the cot and adjustable height bases to accommodate baby's growth. You can even buy drop sides for small babies or those with medical conditions that make it difficult to bend over.

To ensure your peace of mind, look for a cot that is compliant with the stringent UK safety standards and will easily transform into an infant bed when the time is right. Find this information in the product description or in the specifications.

Safety

When selecting a cot, an environment that is safe for sleeping is a must. Make sure the mattress is snug and has no gap between it and the cot's bed's sides or ends (big gaps can keep your child's head from being caught in the arms). Make sure it's firm and thin - thicker mattresses aren't recommended cribs, as they may increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer mattresses made of various materials, from foam to natural materials that are good for allergy sufferers. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your mattress has drop sides, make sure it is in the upward position and locked securely.

Drop sides should only be allowed to go down when an adult is in the room. This prevents accidental release. If your coffin has a solid edge do not place it against the wall because it will block airflow and may contribute to the death of a coffin. Recent research suggests that slatted ends could be safer as they allow for more airflow.

If your cot has a fixed side you should choose this because it will be safest when your child starts to crawl and then pull themselves up. If your child is climbing with confidence and standing, it's time to upgrade to a junior bed.

Some cots are equipped with an option that allows the base to be raised to three levels. This is a fantastic safety measure and enables your child's cot to grow with the child. Some cots offers have adjustable footplates that are ideal for toddlers who like to stand up.

When you place your child's cot, make sure there aren't any visible dangers. It should be placed away from heaters and power points. Also, keep it away from windows, curtains and blind cords. They all could present a strangulation threat. When purchasing second-hand furniture, or heirlooms, be sure to look for any dangers to your child's health such as stickers and transfers. They may peel off and create a risk.

If you're not sure about how to use your cot, ask other parents for advice or attend an local NCT New Baby class. If your cot has instructions, read them carefully before you start using it, and then follow the safety guidelines closely.

Style

With its gorgeous sleigh style This gorgeous cot bed will look amazing in your nursery. The panel was impressed by the combination of natural and white wood as well as the clever features such as under-bed storage drawers for all baby essentials, like bedding, nappy and an impressive array of cheap baby cots clothes. It's also simple to put together, with clear instructions and 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 details).

One of our most loved features are the teething rails that protect your baby from smacking their head against the side of the cot or any protruding part of the cot, such as a handle or a corner post, and which can also stop them from chewing on the wood, preventing them from getting trapped. It also features an opening that can be removed to make it easier for you to get access to your baby. We appreciate that the cot could be transformed into a toddler bed and that it's strong enough to last for up to four years. It also met the strict UK safety standards, which you'll find in the main specifications beneath each product.

Cot beds can be converted into toddler beds when your child is old enough. This lets you not have to buy a new bed when your child is ready to move up. However, they may be more expensive upfront than a crib that is standard.

If your nursery is small, you may want to consider a crib. It is smaller and occupies less space. However it is recommended to consider a cot if you are planning on spending a lot of your baby's time in the room, or if you need an item that lasts longer, you should opt for a cot.

A cot isn't safe for babies to sleep in if it does not meet the strict UK safety standards as outlined in BS EN 716 and BS 8509, which deals with mattress thicknesses, materials and other key elements of cot mattresses for babies. The slats should not be too close together, to ensure your baby doesn't fall out.

Stores

If you're a new parent or a veteran the amount of things the baby will require is immense. It is important to think about storage when choosing a cot-bed. There are a variety of cots to tots that have additional storage options like drawers under the bed or a top changer (available separately). Some can be transformed into a toddler bed or a single bed, which can extend their usefulness for a longer period of time.

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 a more flexible design. The conversion is simple and requires only the removal of one side panel. This allows parents to save money on a separate bed purchase.

Some cot beds are equipped with hanging rails that can be used to hang muslins and Dummies along with other small things. This helps keep everything neat, tidy and organized. It also looks beautiful. These items are easily accessible to parents and make it easier for parents to feed their child.

Another thing to look out for is a teething rail that is available in a few cots and tots. This can help to prevent your little one chewing on the wood which could cause irritation. Some cots are designed in a more traditional style and come with a large drawer under the bed that is perfect for storing toys, blankets clothes, and other baby necessities.

While this is a great idea for when you're running out of space, you must remember that you will need to buy a separate extra drawer. You might need to purchase a separate mattress and bedding, as oval sheets and mattresses don't come with the cot.
