Best Cots For Newborns

A cot is an elevated bed for your child that prevents them from falling off. There are a variety of styles, from bedside cribs to travel cots.

Mum tester Jasmin loved the cot's handy storage compartment for blankets and sheets. It's also simple to set up and has an incline setting that can help alleviate reflux.

1. Mamas&Papas Franklin Cot Bed

Cot beds are a parent's best crib newborn friend, ensuring that the baby warm and (hopefully) asleep peacefully. When shopping for a cot, there are many aspects to consider. From safety and spec to design and design. A good cot has to last through newborn stages and toddlerhood, so longevity is key. The cot is stylish and sturdy, and it meets all the most recent standards. It's also affordable and includes an extra mattress.

This cot is a great example of how Mamas&Papas can create chic and practical nursery furniture. It's a stylish choice for your baby's first room and features a modern gray finish that can be matched to any color scheme. Additionally, it can be converted into an adorable toddler bed or day bed to make it a durable bed. It comes with two different heights of the base which makes it easier to reach for baby and safer than a traditional drop-side cot. It's shaped base allows it to fit through doors of all sizes, which is a great bonus for parents who are strapped for time. There's even a dresser/changer that will keep all your newborn essentials in one place.

2. SnuzFino Cot Bed

The cot will expand with your baby from birth until around four years of age. It comes with two mattress heights, so you can start with a high-height base and then move down as your child develops and learns to sit on their own. It was awarded Gold in the Mother&Baby Awards 2024 for best Moses basket, cot or crib.

The cot beds for sale is more compact than the other models we have tested. It's also suitable for smaller rooms. It comes with a convenient side door that lets you access the room easily to feed, change nappies or change nappy. Our tester only took 12 minutes to set up the cot.

Look for cot beds that conform to safety regulations. To keep your baby's legs from becoming trapped, all cots should have bars that are no more than 6 centimeters apart. Also, check that the slats are firmly fixed to avoid any loose or loose fastenings.

A quality mattress for a cot is also essential for your baby's comfort. Look for pocket springs or latex-coated Coir mattresses as they provide the most support and don't sag like foams. It is also recommended to invest in a waterproof mattress cover, since any dirt can get into the mattress itself and cause your child to sweat or feel uncomfortable.

Some cots have additional features like adjustable inclines that ease reflux, and storage for the nappy essentials (such as the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are fantastic additions, but only purchase items that are safe and suitable for your child.

3. Graco SnuzFino Bedside Crib

If you want an infant crib that can be used from birth and place near your bed while baby sleeps, this one could be the one you're searching for. It has a compact design that easily fits into door frames that are standard and weighs only 6kg, so it's easy to move around your home. It's also a breeze to climb up and down it, which is ideal for those diaper changes.

One of our mom testers described it as being "exceedingly simple to put together." Its lightweight build allows you to easily move it between bedrooms or even take it on a trip if you wish. Its stand-alone design is popular with new parents who want to be able to easily access their infant during the first few days. It comes with a padded mattress and a wedge cover for reflux that are both useful features.

It also converts to a toddler bed when you purchase the included Toddler Kit (PS70), which is great news for parents since it it will last until your child is ready to transition from the cot. This is a beautiful cot bed that has a Scandi look. It will look fantastic in your nursery.

This solid pine cot is also a great option. It is suitable for children ranging from birth to 3 years old, and costs only PS372. Our testers were impressed by its elegant panelled appearance. It's easy to put together, and has a handy storage drawer, a rail for teething and adjustable height settings that help keep your baby safe. Its small size makes it an ideal option for those who have sloped ceilings or smaller areas.

4. Babyletto Bedside Crib

This crib that is placed at the bedside is ideal for parents who wish to snuggle their baby up close before the time to go to bed. The NHS recommends that babies be placed in a separate room for the first six months, but many parents find it soothing to have their child close prior to putting them to sleep.

The cot comes in a range of colors and non-toxic paints which means it can be customized to your bedroom or nursery decor. It's also a great choice for parents with sloping ceilings who don't want a cot to take up too much floor space. It can be adjusted to 11 different heights, and then can be tilted in four positions and includes an incline which aids in reflux.

While it's attractive, it's a solid design that will last through the toddler years as well. One tester for parents told us that her baby used the crib for two years and it was still in good enough condition to pass on to her youngest.

Another plus is that the cot is small and compact, making it easy to set up and move around if required. It's an ideal fit for parents who have smaller spaces and can also be used as a travel cot too. Testers said it was easy to put together and loved the storage drawer to keep everything you need for your baby. It is a bit expensive, but it's worth the cost due to the design and function. This cot doesn't come with a mattress, so you'll need to purchase one separately. We recommend choosing a firm, breathable and well-fitting mattress to prevent your child from getting suffocated. It should be a couple of inches smaller than the cot frame to avoid your child being able to climb out.

5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot

The SnuzFino crib is among our sleekest models, but it's not only about appearances. The cot is designed to last for their first 18 months. It can also be converted to a toddler's bed by adding a separate toddler kit. The design is timeless and chic and our test-run showed that it would look great in any nursery - especially if you opt for a matching changing unit and wardrobe.

No matter what type of cot you choose, make sure it meets the regulations applicable to your baby's age and home. The spacing between bars should not exceed 6.5cm (2 inches), which will prevent the baby's head from getting trapped, and the surface should be smooth to avoid suffocation risks. You'll need to buy a mattress for your cot that is perfect without gaps around the edges. It should also be made of breathable materials in order to regulate your Baby Cot Bed's body temperature.

Although it's tempting to purchase a cot with extra features like built-in storage drawers and sides that can be removed for the bassinet (as with the Mamas and Papas Lua Cot), these should be considered in light of your budget and lifestyle. The most ideal cots allow your child to rest comfortably and securely. There are all-in-one cots with plenty of storage that won't cost a fortune.

If you're looking for a high tech option, the SNOO cot with Smart Sleeper includes a built-in sensor that can respond to your baby's crying. It gently rocks them into sleep in a motion similar to the womb of their mother. The cost may be a bit expensive however, for those with children who are fussy, it could be worth the investment.
