Size

There's a lot to think about when choosing the best mattress for your baby. To make the right decision, you'll want to consider safety and style, cost and size. The most commonly used dimensions for cots are 140cm by 70cm, but this can vary among brands, so be sure to verify before purchasing. You should also be aware of the age group that a cot is suitable for as you may require a change to a toddler bed or single bed once your child is ready, or even earlier.

Cot beds come in a variety of dimensions, shapes, and finishes. It's important to choose the right one for your nursery. Choose a cot that fits your space, and remember that most cots have removable sides so that your child can play with toys in the bed or even sit up. If your nursery is small, go for a compact cot with curving edges to make the most of limited space.

Contact friends and family members who have children if you're not sure of the right model for your nursery. They can offer valuable insight into their own experiences with different models, and make recommendations based on their own experience. You can also read online reviews to gain a better understanding of how other parents have discovered the cot bed they've purchased.

Pine is the most common material for cot beds. It's a softwood, which means it is more prone to scratches and dent, but it's also highly renewable and extremely sturdy. Other options include birch, oak and beech, which are hard woods with more resistance to wear and tear. Certain cots can be made from engineered wood. It's a combination of MDF or plywood that is bonded to a veneer to create an even more durable surface.

Safety

To ensure that babies sleep in a safe environment, cots and cots-beds must meet the latest safety and health standards. They must also be free of sharp edges, and the distance between bars must not exceed 6.5cm. This prevents infants from climbing out or becoming trapped between them, and also means that they cannot use the bars as ladders. If you are buying an antique or second-hand cot, it is important to check that it conforms to current safety standards and has been thoroughly cleaned. Older cots could have been painted in leaded paint, which can be dangerous for children in the early years.

A high-quality cot will be easy to assemble with clear instructions and a small amount of tools. Ask your family members and friends for assistance should you be unsure about assembling the cot on your own. Also make sure to carefully read all safety instructions. Make sure you use a firm mattress that's not too bulky and that is tightly fitted with no gaps. It is advised to stay clear of bumpers for cots, pillows or any other bedding that is soft that could cause fatal suffocation.

Some cots can be converted into toddler beds. This can help you save money and make the transition from crib to bed as easy as possible. Some are multi-functional and come with additional features like teething rails or storage drawers.

When buying a cot, make sure it fits your budget and is the right size for your nursery. Consider whether you will be using it in a shared bedroom or for your baby's own room. If the cot will be located in your home, measure the space to ensure it fits comfortably and isn't too close to furniture or radiators. Do not place the cot too close to window blind cords, since they could be a strangulation hazard.

Convenience

When buying for your baby, it's easy to focus on safety and spec features. However, don't forget about convenience. You need to ensure that the cot you purchase is able to move from room to room, and even to the garden. This is because your baby could be sleeping in the crib for a longer amount of time than you believe.
