If you are expecting a baby it is crucial to choose a cot sale that will ensure safety and security for your baby. Look for a cot that has fixed sides rather than drop-sides. This will be in line with UK safety standards.

This simple but elegant coffin is our top choice from the Anyday collection by John Lewis. It has three mattress positions, teething bars, and an storage drawer. It is also easy to put together and comes with clear instructions.

Comfort

The best cots for newborns cot beds keep children warm and cozy. Find a comfortable, soft fabric. Make sure the mattress is fitted snugly to prevent any gaps that could cause the danger of being suffocated. There are many types of mattresses available - coils springs, foam and natural materials for allergy sufferers. Do your research to find the most suitable one for your child.

If you choose a standard or convertible cot, the most important thing to ensure comfort is a mattress of high-quality that is supportive and encourages healthy posture. The slats should also be secured and not sagging. The slats must also be firmly fixed to the frame, to ensure that your child does not be caught when they move in their sleep.

If you're unsure of the mattress to buy, consult friends and family or check online reviews for recommendations. Choose breathable mattresses, as they will help you regulate your body temperature, and are less likely to hold bacteria.

Choose a cot that meets the strict UK safety standard and is able to be easily converted into a toddler's bed when it is time. This information is found in the product description and key specifications.

Safety

A safe and secure sleeping environment is an essential factor when selecting a bed. The mattress should be snugly fitted and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot or cot-bed (large gaps can trap the child's arms or head). Make sure it's firm and thin - thicker mattresses aren't recommended 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 suitable for those suffering from allergies. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot features drop-sides, make sure it is secured and in the upward position.

Drop sides should only be allowed to fall when an adult is in the room. This will prevent accidental release. If your cot has a solid end be sure to avoid placing it against the wall since it can block airflow and could cause the death of a coffin. According to the latest research, slatted end cots may be safer because they allow for more airflow.

If your cot has a fixed side choose this option as it will be safest when your baby starts to crawl and then pull themselves up. When your child is climbing with confidence and standing, it's the 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 grow with their needs. Some cots come with adjustable footplates that are perfect for toddlers who like to stand up.

If you are putting your child in their cot, ensure that there isn't any visible danger - it must be away from heat sources and power points, windows, curtains and blind cords (these can be strangulation hazards). If you're purchasing second-hand or heirloom furniture be sure to look for any choking hazards like stickers and transfers that may peel off and present the risk of.

If you are unsure how to safely use your cot, consult other parents for advice or attend a local NCT New Baby class. If your crib comes with a manual ensure that you go through it prior to using it and adhere to the directions.

Style

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

The rails for teething are among our most loved features. They stop your child from hitting their head on the crib's side or any protruding portion of the crib, like the corner post or handle. They also prevent them from chewing on the wood and also preventing them from being suffocated. There's also a drop-side to allow easier access to your newborn. We love that it can be converted to a toddler bed, and that it's built to last for up to four years. It also met the strict UK safety standards. These are listed in the main specifications below each product.

Cot beds can be turned into toddler beds if your child is old enough. This lets you avoid buying an entirely new bed when your child's ready to make the leap. They can be more expensive than cribs.

If your nursery is small, you might want to consider a crib. It is smaller and occupies less space. However, if you plan to spend a significant portion of your baby's time in your bedroom or you need a bed that lasts longer, you should choose a cot.

A cot isn't suitable for babies to sleep in if it doesn't meet the strict UK safety standards as outlined in BS EN 716 and Cot Bed Sales BS 8509, which covers mattress thicknesses, materials and other essential elements of baby cot mattresses. The slats must not be too wide apart to prevent your baby from falling out.

Storage

The amount of baby equipment you need is overwhelming, regardless of whether you're a new mom or an experienced one. This is why it's essential to consider the storage options when you choose the right cot bed. Some cots have additional storage options, such as drawers under the bed or a top changer (available separately). Some are even able to be converted to a toddler or a small single bed, increasing their usability for longer.

Some cots can be transformed into day beds, as seen here 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 a single side panel. This will allow parents to save on the cost of an additional bed.

Some cot beds are equipped with a hanging rail that can be used to hang muslins and Dummies, as well as other small objects. This makes everything tidy, neat and organized. It also looks great. The ease of access to these items makes it much easier for parents when feeding their baby.

A teething rail is another important feature that's included in some cots. This can keep your Baby beds from chewing on the wood, which could cause them irritation. Some cots are designed in a more traditional style and have a huge under-bed storage drawer which is perfect to store blankets, toys clothing, and other baby necessities.

This is a great solution if space is an issue but you'll need to purchase a drawer on your own. You might need to purchase bedding and a mattress separately since oval mattresses and sheets do not come with the cot.

This sleigh cot bed by Stokke is a beautiful example of the Scandi-style at its finest and features a huge under-bed storage drawer that's perfect for keeping all those baby necessities out of sight but easily reachable. Our panel was able to find it easy to put together, due to the alphabetically-labelled parts and clear instructions. It's suitable for babies from birth and can be converted into a toddler bed once your child is ready, which means it's a good investment too.
