It doesn't matter if you pick a standard cot or a convertible cot, a good mattress is crucial to ensure your ease of use. It should provide adequate support and promote an ideal posture. The slats must be secured and not sagging. The slats should also be firmly connected to the frame to ensure that your child does not be caught when they move in their sleep.

If you're not sure what mattress to purchase, talk to your family and friends or consult online reviews for recommendations. Select mattresses that are breathable, since they can aid in regulating your body temperature and are less likely to be a breeding ground for bacteria.

Safety

When choosing a cot, a safe sleeping environment should be a priority. The mattress should be snugly fitted and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the ends or sides of the sale cot/cot-bed (large gaps could trap the child's arms or head). Verify that the mattress is firm and thin. Mattresses that are thick can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies sell mattresses in different materials from foam to natural materials that are great for allergy sufferers. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has an inclined side, make sure that it is in the up position and secured.

Drop sides should only be permitted down only when an adult is in the room. This prevents accidental releases. If your cot bed sales has a solid end do not place it against the wall as it can block airflow and can cause death in the coffin. The latest research suggests that slatted edges could be safer as they permit more airflow.

If your cot has a fixed side, opt for this as it is the most secure option when your child starts to crawl and climb up. When your child is confidently standing and climbing, this is a sign that they're ready to move into a junior bed.

It is also easy to construct with clear instructions and screws for each section. It can also be converted into a toddler bed and desk when your child gets older (see the product's description for more details).
