Style & Design

It's easy to get caught up in safety and specifications when selecting a cot for your baby, but don't forget about the design. You want a cot that is fashionable and will blend in with your nursery, regardless whether it's a traditional or modern arrangement.

The Obaby Maya Mini Cot Bed is our best choice in this category since it's a gorgeous piece that's also super-easy to build and looks stunning in the room. It's also extremely sturdy and is the only cot we've tested that we feel will be able to endure the test of time. The bars are narrow, which means there are no nooks and crannies for dust to collect and make cleaning as easy as is possible. The base that is lower is great for babies and, as your baby gets more active you can lower it further to stop them from falling out, while the teething rails keep them safe from their sharp teeth.

Silver Cross Nostalgia is another amazing piece. It's a beautiful sleigh-style cot that can be used from birth. An extension kit, sold separately, lets it be converted into a toddler bed. The three height positions will keep your little one at ease throughout their development, however the time-consuming assembly process may turn off some. It's also costly, but worth it if you're looking for a timeless design which will last for many years. Gemma is the mother of Boden, aged 13 months.

Comfort

When you are planning your baby's nursery, it's easy to get caught up in the safety and specification features. However, comfort is equally important. If your child is going to spend many hours in their cot and crib, they must be comfortable and safe.

Convertibility

Cot beds are designed to last longer than standard cots, providing your child with the bed they need from birth until the age of toddlers. This is why cots are better than cribs. They're also more affordable, as you don't have to buy a brand new bed for your child once they grow out of it.

Some cots or cots can also grow with your child's. They can be turned into junior beds, or even small sofas. Stokke Sleepi, for example can be used up to age 2 if you purchase an additional mattress extender as well as a junior conversion kit (sold separately). It's easy to construct and looks gorgeous in any nursery. However, you'll need a fitted sheet that fits the cot bed, not a cot because the gaps between the bars are quite large.
