There are a variety of mattresses on the market including coil springs, foam, natural materials for allergy sufferers - so do your research before deciding on the best one for your baby's needs.

No matter if you select a convertible or standard cot, the primary factor to comfort is a good-quality mattress that provides proper support and encourages healthy posture. The slats need to be securely attached and not sliding. The slats need to be firmly attached to the frame to ensure that your child will not get caught when they move in their sleep.

For added security, opt for a cot that is compliant with the stringent UK safety standards and will easily convert into a toddler bed when the time is right. Look for this information in the product description or in the specifications.

Safety

A safe sleeping environment is essential and a big factor when selecting a crib. Make sure that the mattress is snugly fitted, with no gaps between it and the cot's bed's sides or ends (big gaps could trap your child's head or arms). Make sure the mattress is firm and thin. Mattresses that are too thick can increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer a variety of mattresses, from simple foam to natural substances for allergy sufferers. Some even contain anti-microbial treatments. If your cot features drop-sides, ensure that it is locked and in the up position.

Drop sides should only be allowed down when an adult is present in the room. This can prevent accidental releases. Avoid placing your cot against the wall if it is a solid end. This will restrict airflow, which can lead to coffin death. According to the latest research, cots with slatted ends are safer since they allow for greater airflow.

If your crib has a fixed edge, opt for this as it will be safest when your baby starts to crawl and climb up. When your child is confidently climbing and standing, it's time to move to a junior bed.

Some cots have features that allow the base can be raised to three different levels in order to grow with your child - this is very convenient and an added security measure. Some cots come with adjustable footplates that are ideal for toddlers who want to stand up.

When placing your child's cot be sure that there aren't any obvious dangers. It should be placed away from heaters and power points. Also, keep it away from windows, curtains, and blind cords. All of these could present a strangulation threat. If you're purchasing second-hand or heirloom furniture Be sure to check for potential dangers to your child's health such as stickers and transfers that can be removed and pose a risk.

If you're not sure how to use your cot safely you can ask parents around or go to a local NCT New Baby course for support and advice. If your crib comes with a manual ensure that you go through it prior to using it and follow all the directions.

Style

This gorgeous cot bed, with its sleigh design will look stunning in your nursery. The panel was impressed with the mix of natural and white wood and the clever features like drawers under the bed for all baby essentials, like bedding, nappy and a wide selection of baby clothes. It's also simple to put together with clear instructions and screws for each section. It can also be converted into a toddler desk or bed as your child grows older (see product description for more information).

One of our favourite features are the teething rails which protect your baby from smacking their head against the side of the cot or any other protruding parts of the cot like the handle or corner post, and which also help stop them chewing on the wood, preventing them from becoming suffocated. There's also a drop-side to allow parents to reach their newborn. We are thrilled that the cot can be converted into a toddler bed and that it's built to last for four years.

cot sets beds can be converted into toddler beds if your child is old enough. This allows you to avoid purchasing a new crib when your child's ready to make the leap. However, they can be more expensive than a crib that is standard.

If your nursery is small, a crib may be the best cots for newborns option for you as it is smaller and takes up less space, but if your baby is likely to spend most of the time in their parents' bedroom or you're looking for a more durable bed, consider a cot.

A cot isn't suitable for babies to sleep in if it doesn't meet the strict UK safety standards as outlined in BS EN 716 and BS 8509, which covers mattress thicknesses, materials and other key elements of baby cot mattresses. The slats should not be too wide apart to stop your child from falling out.

Stores

The amount of baby stuff you need is overwhelming, regardless of whether you're a new mom or a seasoned one. This is why it's crucial to think about the storage options when you choose the crib bed. Some cots come with additional storage options, like drawers underneath the bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Certain cots can be transformed into a toddler bed or small single bed to increase their use.

Some cots can be transformed into day beds, as seen on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great option for those who like a more flexible design. The conversion is easy and only requires the removal of a single side panel. This will allow parents to save money on a separate bed.

Some cot beds come with hanging rails that can be used to hang muslins and dummies and other small items. This helps keep everything tidy, neat and organized. It also looks beautiful. Having easy access to these items makes it easier for parents to feed their infant cot bed.

A teething rail is a desirable feature that is included in some cots. This will help stop your child from chewing on the wood that can cause irritation. Some cots are designed with an older style and include a large under-bed storage drawer which is perfect for storing blankets, toys clothing, and other baby essentials.

This is a great solution if space is an issue, but you will have to purchase a drawer on your own. You may also have to purchase a different mattress and bedding since sheets and mattresses that are oval aren't usually included in the cot itself.
