How to Choose the best rated cribs Cot Beds for Your Baby

If you are expecting a child it is crucial to choose a cot that will provide safety and security for your baby. Look for a cot with fixed sides (rather than drop-sides) that meet strict UK safety standards.

This simple but stylish coffin is our top choice from the Anyday range of John Lewis. It has three mattress positions, teething bars and storage drawers. It's also easy to assemble with clear instructions.

Comfort

The best cot beds keep baby's warm and comfortable. Look for a soft, airy fabric, and ensure that the mattress is snug to prevent any gaps which could create an suffocation threat. There are a variety of mattresses available: foam, coils springs, and natural materials for allergy-sufferers. Do your research to determine the best cot bed one for your child.

It doesn't matter if you pick a conventional cot or a convertible cot, a good mattress is essential to ease of use. It should provide adequate support and promote an upright posture. The same is true for the slats, which should be firmly attached and not bent or sagging. The slats should also be securely fixed to the frame, so your child isn't trapped in them while moving during sleep.

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

There are a myriad of styles to choose from that include traditional sleighs with intricate details and modern, sleek designs. Some are even painted in bright primary colors which is great for those who want their little one to wake up bright and content!

The majority of cots have an under-bed storage drawer and teething rails that stop your child from chewing the sides of the cot, and height bases that can be adjusted to accommodate baby's growth. You can even buy a drop side for petite babies or those with health issues that make it difficult for them 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 convert into an infant bed when the time is right. Look for this information in the description or in the key specifications.

Safety

A safe and secure sleeping environment is a must and a major aspect to consider when choosing a cot. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the edges or sides of the cot or cot-bed (large gaps can trap the child's arms or head). Verify that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Mattresses that are too thick can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in various materials including foam and natural materials that are suitable for those suffering from allergies. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has a drop side, ensure that it is in the up position and locked securely.

Drop sides should only be allowed to go down only when an adult is in the room. This will prevent accidental release. If your coffin has a solid bottom be sure to avoid placing it against the wall since it will 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 crib has a fixed side you should choose this because it's safer when your child starts to crawl and then pull themselves up. If your child is climbing with confidence and standing, it's the time to upgrade to a junior bed.

Some cots are equipped with an option that allows the base to be raised up to three levels. This is a fantastic security measure that allows your child's cot to expand with the child. Some cots feature adjustable footplates that are perfect for toddlers who love to stand up.

When putting your child's cot in the crib be sure that there aren't any visible dangers. It should be placed away from heaters and power points. Also make sure it is away from windows, curtains and blind cords. These can all create strangulation risks. When buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, make sure to look for any choking hazards such as stickers and transfers. They may peel off and cause danger.

If you're unsure of how to use your cot in a safe manner consult parents around or go to an local NCT New Baby course for support and advice. If your cot comes with an instruction manual, read it carefully before you begin using it, and be sure to follow the safe-use instructions closely.

Style

This gorgeous cot bed, with its sleigh design will look stunning in your nursery. The panel was impressed by the mix of natural and white wood, as well as the clever features such as under-bed storage drawers that can hold everything essential for babies, including bedding, nappies and a huge selection of baby clothes. It's also simple to put together, with clear instructions and separate screws for each section. It can also be transformed into a toddler bed or desk as your baby gets older (see the product description for more details).

One of our favourite features is the teething rails that protect your little one from smacking their head against the cot's side or any protruding part of the cot like the handle or corner post, and which can also stop them from chewing on the wood, which prevents them from becoming trapped. The cot also has a drop-side to allow easier access to your baby. We appreciate that the cot could be converted into a toddler bed and that it's built to last up to four years. It also meets the strict UK safety standards, which can be found in the key specs beneath each product.

Cot beds are generally bigger than cribs and can be converted into toddler beds once your child is ready which means you don't have to worry about purchasing a bed at an age when they're ready to transition. They can be more expensive than most recommended cribs.

If your nursery is small, you may want to consider a crib. It is smaller and takes less space. However, if you plan to spend a significant portion of your baby's time in the room or if you require a bed that lasts longer, you should opt for a crib.

A cot isn't safe for babies to sleep in if it does not meet the strict UK safety standards set out in BS EN 716 and BS 8509, which covers mattresses' thicknesses, materials, and other important elements of cot mattresses for baby cot online. The slats must not be too wide apart to prevent your child from falling out.

Storage

If you're a new parent or an experienced one the amount of things that a Baby Cot requires is overwhelming. This is why it's essential to think about storage options when choosing the right cot bed. Some cots have additional storage options, like drawers under the bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Some cots can be converted into a toddler bed or small single bed to increase their use.

Some cot beds can be further converted into a daybed like this one on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great option for those who prefer a less rigid design as the process of conversion is simple and requires just the removal of one side panel. This lets parents save on the cost of a separate bed.

Some cot beds have hanging rails that can be used to hang muslins, dolls and other small items. This allows you to keep everything organized tidy and neat - and it also looks fantastic. These items are easily accessible to parents and make it easier for them to feed their baby.

Another desirable feature to look for is a toothing rail that comes with some cots. This will help stop your child from chewing on the wood that could cause them irritation. Some cots feature more traditional designs and include a large storage drawer underneath the bed that is ideal for clothes, toys blankets, and other baby necessities.

While this is a great option if you're in a tight space, you must be aware that you'll require a separate extra drawer. You might need to purchase an additional mattress and bedding, as oval sheets and mattresses do not come with the sale cot.

This sleigh cot bed by Stokke is a stunning example of the Scandi-style at its finest and features a huge under-bed storage drawer that's perfect to keep baby necessities out of sight but easily reachable.
