Space-saving

Cot beds are smaller versions of traditional cots that still have all the safety and comfort features that your baby deserves.

Some models convert into a stylish sofa bed for use with older children as well.

To help you maximize your space, choose a model that fits in with the furniture in your bedroom or one that can easily dismantle and reassemble if you want to make room for other baby objects. Consider a cot-bed that is compact with built-in storage or a multifunctional design that incorporates the changing unit, chest of drawers and bench seats into one piece of furniture.

Comfort

As a parent, you want your child to enjoy an enjoyable, safe sleep environment. One of the best cot bed options to help them get an adequate night's sleep is to pick a smaller cot bed that has a comfortable mattress. These mattresses are more rigid than the traditional cot mattress but are soft enough to ensure that your baby gets a good night's rest.

The mattresses are cushioned to reduce the retention of heat, which can cause discomfort for some babies. The materials used in the mattress are free of chemicals and irritants so that they won't disturb the baby's sensitive skin.

Typically, these types of mattresses are a great choice for side and back sleepers, as they provide great support for neck, head and body. They can also be used in conjunction with the cot's built in cradling system, which many parents find to be helpful in cases of colic and reflux.

If you are considering a mattress cot bed that has a cushioned mattress it is important to determine the size of the mattress and whether it can be placed inside the base of the cot. You should also determine whether there are specific rules and regulations you need to adhere to when purchasing the mattress for a cot like the minimum thickness.

Safety

For your baby's safety, it's important to check that a cot bed meets the UK standards it claims to meet. You should look for the BS EN 716 code, or BS 8509 if it transforms into a toddler bed. It is also important to ensure that it's the right size for your nursery and offers enough space to provide a safe sleep for your baby. It should be 140cm by 70cm, and not have any gaps around the edges or corners.

Make sure the mattress is flat and firm. If it's a bit soft, old or damaged, it could create a risk of suffocation. Test the mattress to see whether it bounces back quickly after pressing. When you press on the middle of a quality cot-mattress it should feel firm.

Make sure the cot is free of any toys, stickers and other items that could pose a choke hazard. Babies should be able to move easily and roll over throughout their sleep, which is why it's essential that the cot doesn't have raised corners or cut-outs they could use as footholds to climb out. If your crib has a drop-side be sure to check it regularly to ensure that the mechanism is locked securely.

It's recommended to avoid placing a cot near the sun or a radiator because they may become too hot or wake up with a sunburn. Make sure the cot is kept away from cords that hang on wall-mounted curtains and baby monitor cables and other decorative items that have long cords. Babies could be strangled by these cords, while older babies could get themselves caught on them or reach out to grab the bars of the cot.

Design

It's important to consider that you're likely to invest in furniture that will last a long time when you shop for a small bed. Unlike cribs, which are designed for a short time, cots can be used from the time a child is born until they are able to safely transition to a toddler bed or kids single bed. To ensure that the crib you buy will last, look for a model with adjustable base heights. This feature allows you to lower the mattress in height as your child grows, ensuring they stay safe and comfortable for longer.

Another design element to look for is the ability to take off sections of cot bars. This is a great way to give your baby a sense of independence once they start toddle, and will assist them in and out of their bed quickly. Some cribs beds, like the Leander Luna Baby Cot, can be converted into a sofa simply by removing the front.

Many cots feature slatted designs that are ideal for smaller spaces as they allow air to circulate and regulate the temperature of your baby. This can make a huge difference in terms of comfort and help ensure that your baby enjoys an enjoyable sleep.
