How to Choose the Best Cot Beds for Your Baby
If you're expecting a child it is essential to select a cot that will be safe and secure for your little one. Find a cot with fixed sides (rather than drop-sides), which comply with strict UK safety standards.
Our top choice is this simple but elegant coffin from John Lewis' Anyday range. 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 cot beds (Https://carey-johnston.thoughtlanes.net) keep baby's warm and comfortable. Look for a soft, comfortable fabric. Also, make sure that the mattress is snug to avoid any gaps, which could create a suffocation risk. There are a range of mattresses on the market including coil springs, foam and other natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers, so do your research and choose the one that is suitable for your baby's needs.
Whatever you decide to use, whether a conventional cot or a convertible cot one, a comfortable mattress is essential to ease of use. It should provide adequate support and encourage a healthy posture. This is also true for the slats. They should be securely attached and not sagging or bent. The slats should also be secured to the frame so that your child doesn't get caught in them when moving during sleep.
If you're unsure of the mattress to buy, consult your family and friends or consult online reviews for suggestions. Make sure you choose a mattress that's breathable, as they'll help maintain temperature and are less likely to harbor bacteria.
There are a myriad of styles to pick from that include traditional sleighs with ornate details and sleek, modern designs. Some are even painted in bold primary colours which is perfect when you want your child to wake up feeling bright and cheerful!
Most cots come with a drawer for storage underneath and teething rails that stop your child from chewing the sides of the cot and height bases that are adjustable to accommodate the growth of your baby. You can also buy a drop-side for infants who aren't tall enough or have health issues that make it hard to bend over.
Choose a cot that is in compliance with the strict UK safety standards and is able to be easily transformed into a toddler's bed when it is time. This information is found in the product description as well as the specifications.
Safety
When selecting a cot, the safety of your child's sleep is a must. Make sure the mattress is snug and has no gaps between it and the Mini Cot Bed's bed's sides or ends (big gaps can restrict your child's head or arms). Verify that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Mattresses that are too thick could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies sell mattresses in different materials from foam to natural materials that are good for those suffering from allergies. Some have anti-microbial treatment. If your crib has a drop side, ensure it is in the upward 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 releases. If your coffin has a solid bottom, avoid placing it against the wall because this will restrict airflow and may contribute to coffin death. The latest research suggests that slatted ends could be safer since they permit more airflow.
If your crib has a fixed side, opt for this as it will be safest when your child starts to crawl and climb up. When your child is confidently climbing 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 up to three different levels. This is a great security measure that allows your child's cot to grow with their needs. Some cots have adjustable footplates, which are ideal for toddlers wanting to stand up in their bed.
When you put your child in their cot, check whether there is no visible danger. It must be away from heat sources or power points, windows and blind cords and curtains (these are a strangulation hazard). When purchasing second-hand furniture, or heirlooms, make sure to look out for potential hazards to your child's safety such as labels and transfers. They may peel off and pose a danger.
If you're unsure of how to use your cot safely you can ask other parents or visit the local NCT New Baby course for assistance and guidance. If your crib comes with a manual, make sure you read it before using it and adhere to the directions.
Style
This stunning cot bed with its sleigh style will look fantastic in your nursery. Our panel was impressed by the mix of white and natural pine, as well as its clever features, such as under-bed storage drawers to keep all those baby essentials like bedding, nappies and an enviable variety of baby outfits. It's also a breeze to put together, with concise instructions and separate sets of screws for each section. It can also be converted into a toddler desk and bed as your child gets older (see product description for more details).
The teething rails are one of our favorite features. They keep your baby from hitting their head on the crib's side or any protruding part of the crib, such as the corner post or handle. They also stop them from chewing the wood and preventing them from getting suffocated. There's also a drop-side to make it easier for parents to reach their newborn. We love that it can be converted to an infant bed, and it's built to last up to four years. It also complies with strict UK safety standards. These are listed in the main specifications below each product.
Cot beds are generally bigger than recommended cribs and can be turned into toddler beds when your child is ready and you can avoid buying another bed until they're ready for the transition. However, they are more expensive upfront than the crib that is standard.
If your nursery is small, you might be considering a crib. It is smaller and occupies less space. However should you be planning to spend a significant portion of your baby's time in your bedroom, or if you need a bed that lasts longer, you should choose a cot.
A cot isn't suitable 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 covers mattresses' thicknesses, materials, and other essential elements of cot mattresses for baby. The slats must not be too wide apart to stop your child from falling out.
Storage
The amount of baby equipment you need is overwhelming, regardless of whether you're a first-time parent or an experienced one. This is the reason it's important to consider the storage options when you choose the crib bed. Many cots come with additional storage solutions available such as drawers in the under-bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Some affordable cots are able to be converted into a toddler bed or small single beds to expand their use.
Some cot beds can be adapted into a day bed, as seen here on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is an excellent option for those who prefer an edgier design. The conversion is easy and requires only the removal of ONE side panel. It also lets parents save money on a separate bed purchase.
Some cot beds come with a hanging rail that can be used to hang muslins, Dummies along with other small objects. This makes everything neat, tidy and organized. It also looks great. These items are easily accessible to parents and make it easier for them to feed their baby.
Another feature worth looking out for is a teething rail that comes with some cots. This will help stop your child from chewing on the wood which can cause irritation. Some cots have a more traditional design and have a huge storage drawer underneath the bed that is ideal for toys, clothes blankets, and other baby necessities.
This is a great solution for those who have limited space but you'll need to purchase a drawer on your own. You may have to purchase a separate mattress and bedding because oval sheets and mattresses do not come with the cot.
This sleigh cot from Stokke is a beautiful example of Scandi-style in its finest and has a huge under-bed storage drawer that's perfect to keep all the baby essentials out of sight but easily reachable. Our panel was able to find it easy to put together thanks to alphabetically labelled parts and clear instructions. It's suitable for babies from birth and can be transformed into a toddler's bed once your child is ready.
