Space-saving

Cot beds are scaled down versions of traditional cots however they still provide all the safety and comfort features your baby requires. They can be used until your toddler is ready for an adult bed around the age of 2. Some models convert to an elegant sofa bed for use with older children, too.

Look for a model which can be easily dismantled, then reassembled in the event that you need to make room for other baby items. Think about a cot bed that is compact and has built-in storage or a multifunctional design that combines the changing unit with a chest of drawers, a changing table and a bench seat in one piece of furniture.

Our selection of small cots and recommended cribs features a range of sizes, so there is something to suit every space. A majority of the designs that we have listed come with an adjustable mattress, which helps keep your baby's bedding clean and tidy.

It's important that you determine the size of your nursery before purchasing a cot. You should also look at the space between the bars since this needs to be no more than 6.5cm to ensure safety.

Our real mums loved the Silver Cross Nostalgia cot, which takes the standard 120x60cm mattress and features a gorgeous sleigh-style frame. It's built to last with a solid construction and high-quality materials, and it's simple to adjust as your baby grows. However, it's a more expensive option than the other cots on our list and you'll need to purchase a mattress separately when you pick this model.

It's loaded with extra features including teething rails, as well as two height positions that can be adjusted as your baby grows. It's also incredibly simple to put together. The mattress is included, however a second one is required to accommodate the toddler transition.

Comfort

As a parent, you want your child to have an enjoyable, safe sleep environment. One of the best options to help them get an excellent night's rest is to choose a small cot bed that has a comfortable mattress. These are designed to be a bit firmer than traditional cot mattresses but still soft enough that your child will get a good night's rest.

These mattresses are cushioned to prevent the retention of heat, which can cause discomfort in certain babies. The materials used in the mattress are free of irritants and chemicals, as well as other substances that can cause irritation to the skin of your baby's.

These mattresses are a great option for side and back sleepers as they provide adequate support for the head, neck and body. These mattresses can be used together with the built-in cradle that comes with the cot, which is beneficial for reflux or colic.

It is crucial to measure the mattress's size and make sure that it will fit in the base of the cot prior to buying a cot that is small. It is also possible to determine if there are any other specific rules and regulations to follow when purchasing mattresses for cots like the minimum thickness.

If you're looking for an cot bed that will grow with your child, then consider this adaptable design from Vox. It is initially a cot but can later be transformed into a toddler bed, thereby saving you from the expense of buying an entirely new bed once your child is ready for it.

Our panel of testers was impressed by the simple setup of this cot, with mum tester Grace noting that it "came out of the box and folded like a camp chair". The middle joints snap into place and the cot folds up without any complicated mechanisms to handle. It's also compact and lightweight, fitting neatly into a carry bag that's smaller than a camping chair's case and ideal for transporting to the grandparents' homes.

It's a stable, solid option for back and side sleepers. Senior editor Nick Belcaster did note that stomach sleepers might have issues with it.

Safety

To ensure the safety of your baby, it's essential to verify that a cot bed meets the UK standards it claims to be compliant with. Check for the BS EN 716 code, or BS 8509 if it transforms into an infant bed. Make sure it's the correct size for your nursery and is big enough for your child to sleep safely. It should be at minimum 140cm x 70cm, and there shouldn't be gaps around the edges or corners.

Make sure that the mattress is level and firm. It could be an entrapment hazard if it is soft or old, or damaged. Check the mattress to see whether it springs back rapidly after pressing. When you press on the middle of a quality cot-mattress, it will feel solid.

Make sure the cot is free of any toys, stickers and other items that could pose a choke danger. Babies should be able to move freely and roll over in their sleep, so it's also important that the cot doesn't have raised corners or cut-outs could be used as footholds to climb out. If your cot has a drop side be sure to check it regularly to ensure the mechanism locks securely.

Do not put the cot next to the heat source or a bright window. It is possible that they will become too warm or wake up with sunburn. You should also keep your cot away from cords for curtain rods that hang from the wall, baby monitor cables and decorative accessories with long cords. These cords can strangle babies, and older children could reach out to grab bars for their cot or pull themselves up.

For Scandi style and a premium finish the cot is worth the extra investment over other cheaper options. The instructions are easy to follow and the wood feels solid. It takes some time to put together. It's not expensive, but it will last through their toddler years.

Design

It is important to consider that you'll be investing in furniture that will last a long time when you shop for a small bed. Contrary to cribs that are designed for a short period of time, cots are suitable from the time a child is born until they're able to easily transition to an adult bed or a single bed. Find a cot that has an adjustable base height to ensure that it will last. This feature allows you to lower the mattress height as your child grows, ensuring they stay secure and comfortable for a longer time.

A great design feature is the ability to remove cot bars in sections. This will give your child a sense of independence when they start to toddle and make it easier for them to get in and out of the bed. Some crib beds, like the Leander Luna Baby Cot, can be converted into a sofa by taking out the front.

The slatted design of a lot of cots is a great option for a small space, in addition, it assists to circulate air and regulate your baby's temperature. This makes a large difference when it comes to comfort, and could make all the difference in trying to ensure that your baby has a good night's sleep.

A compact cot, also known as a bed for cots, is a fantastic investment for your baby's security and sleeping habits. It's also an excellent addition to any nursery. Cuckooland offers a variety of beds and cots to choose from.
