How to Choose the Best Cot Bed

With so many baby essentials to consider, the best baby cots cot bed is one of the most important purchases. We've created this guide to help find the best cots choice for your baby.

This high-end option works perfectly to be used in Scandi style nursery. This sturdy and durable choice can expand with your baby cots online, with three mattress positions, and the ability to remove the sides to create a chic bench-style toddler bed.

Budget

When it comes to cots, there's something to suit every budget and every nursery. There are a myriad of options that offer different amounts of longevity, with some converting into toddler beds for use into the preschool years and beyond. The ones that can be turned into a bed are more expensive, however they last longer.

The Mamas & Papas Coxley won our overall prize. Its gorgeous aesthetics and simple to assemble design make it a great option for those who want a high-quality cot that will last for a lifetime. Our parents liked the minimalist design and warm oak finish of this model, which looks amazing in a modern-style Scandi nursery. This cot bed comes with a handy drawer, which mum tester Katrina found to be a better option than some less expensive cots with an inbuilt drawer, and a plastic strip that prevents bites on the top of the cot rails to protect your child from getting their teeth stuck in the bars. This cot bed isn't inexpensive, and it requires an Allen key to set up.

A more affordable option that will still give your baby a comfy night's rest is the cot that's Elementary from John Lewis' Anyday range. Our parents liked the simple design and easy assembly. The cot is compact when folded and can be stored away easily too, fitting into a bag that's as big as the carry case of a camping chair. It's lighter than the average cot and therefore may not be ideal for camping in the car but it's a good choice for apartment living or for those who don't want to move their cot around for too long.

The SnuzKot is another good budget-friendly cot we recommend, especially if you choose to purchase the toddler kit and mattress extender (sold separately). It will grow with your child until they're approximately four years old and our dad tester loved the fact that it can be converted into a minimal-looking toddler bed and created an ambiance of cocoons with its fabric canopy.

Safety

A good cot will not only be in compliance with UK safety standards but also feel sturdy and secure. Look for a sturdy design with bars of safety or sides, and a solid base so that your Baby Crib cannot easily climb out. Some cots include extra features, such as teething rails and under-bed drawers that can help you keep things organised while your baby is growing.

The Boori cot is made from sustainable Australian Araucaria wood and New Zealand Radiata, so you can be confident in the purchase. It can be converted to a toddler bed (leaving three sides open to provide peace of mind) and has an option to add an extension kit that can take it all the way up to a double bed when your child is ready.

This stylish but simple cot is a great option for those with a tight budget. It is easy to assemble with clearly marked components and clear instructions. It has three mattress settings that allow you to alter the height as your child grows. It will fit most standard mattress cots and is a good buy for the price.

If you're looking for a premium cot, this one is a great choice. It can be used as a cot and features four mattress positions. It'll keep your baby safe until they are about three years old. It folds flat and comes with lockable wheels, making it extremely portable if you need to move it from room to room.

This cot comes with a convenient travel bag and is among the smallest cots that we test at 6kg. It's also extremely durable with strong frame that can be able to withstand the rigors of toddlers. The instructions were well written and clear, however our testers found the assembly a bit difficult. The slats were set apart to keep fingers from getting trapped between them. It's also more expensive than some of the other cots that we looked at however, it's worth the cost for its longevity and practicality.

Design

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

The classic ickle bubba Bed is the ideal bed for those who love design with its sleek, modern take on a traditional sleigh design that doesn't have the bulky feeling that these types of beds often have. It has plenty of space-saving storage and storage options, including the drawer that is built into the cot as well as rails for teething on the side. It was strong and sturdy. The three-position height of the base lets it grow with your child.

The Modena cot-bed from Tutti Bambini is a great value and comes with a panelled design that can be suitable for any nursery. It's made to last until your child is six years old, converting first into a junior bed, and then into a stylish sofa bed. It's also among the only a few cot beds that we tested with an apex drawer, a teething rail, and a hanging rail.

The Stokke Sleepie Cot Bed is another option that comes with an elegant panel design. It comes in a variety of colours to match the decor of your nursery. The storage drawer was particularly useful for bedding and clothes. Our mom testers were impressed with the features. It's also among the most simple cot beds to put together, with all the pieces being clearly labelled and easy to follow instructions. It is also an excellent option for those with limited space because it can be flat-packed and collapsed. It can be used with an ordinary cot mattress (140cm 70cm x 140cm) and is suitable from the time of birth until toddlerhood, with an extension kit that permits it to be used up until your child is 10 years of age.

Convertibility

If you're a newly-wed there are a myriad of essential items for babies to consider. One of the most important is a quality cot bed - you want something that will last for as long as you can and will change with your child to provide them a secure and comfortable place to sleep.

Some cots are designed to be more than just a toddler bed. The Boori Eton Cot Bed is our top pick. It can be converted to a toddler (L207cm, W147cm H90cm), the daybed (L234cm, W145cm and H70cm) and sofa (L234cm, W145cm, H70cm). This makes it our most durable pick, as it will last your child from birth to childhood.

It's a bit pricey when compared to other cot beds we test, but it comes with a premium appearance and feel that would fit in with any nursery. The instructions could have been more precise, but our parent testers were awed by the ease with which it was for them to build and install. This is a minor fault, however, as it was incredibly simple and took less than 30 minutes to complete.

This cot comes with four base heights for the mattress. This is an improvement over the three most popular options. This allows you to adjust the cot as your child grows. They may require a lower or higher base level based on their age and abilities. It also comes with useful teething rails and a plastic strip that runs along the top to guard it from biting.

The grey finish was the favorite of our dad's testers. It is not cheap but it's a great value because it will last your child through toddlerhood and beyond. Additionally, it comes with one-year warranties, so you have confidence that it's durable and durable. The only thing you'll have to purchase separately is a mattress, which is not included.
