How to Choose the Best Cot Bed

With so many essentials for babies to consider, a top cot bed is among the most important purchases. We've created this guide to help find the best infant cribs choice for your baby.

A top-quality option that fits beautifully in nursery spaces that are reminiscent of Scandi. This sturdy and durable option will grow with your child, with three mattress positions, and the ability remove the sides to create a chic bench-style toddler bed.

Budget

When it comes to cots there's something to suit every budget and every nursery. There are also different options that have different lifespans and some of them can be transformed into toddler beds that can be used throughout the age of preschool or beyond. The ones that can be converted into beds are more expensive, but they will last longer.

The Mamas & Papas Coxley was our overall winner due to its stunning design and easy-to-assemble design making it a great choice for parents looking for an excellent cot that will stand up to the years. Our parents loved the minimalist design and warm oak finish of this model, which looks stunning in a Scandi-style nursery. This cot bed also has a handy drawer that mum tester Katrina found to be an improvement over less expensive cots with an integrated drawer, as well as an anti-bite plastic strip on the top of the rails of the cot to prevent your child from getting their teeth caught in the bars. However, at PS599 with a mattress sold separately the crib isn't cheap. It requires an Allen key to make it functional.

A less expensive option that will still give your baby a good night's sleep is the Elementary cot from John Lewis' Anyday range. Our parent testers liked the simple design and simple assembly. The cot can be folded down and stored easily as it fits into bags similar to that used for a camping chair. It's not the best choice for car camping, but should be fine for people living in apartments or who won't be moving their cot a lot.

We suggest the SnuzKot as another budget-friendly cot, especially when it comes with a toddler kit (sold separately) and mattress extender. It will expand with your child until they reach four years old. Our dad tester loved that it could be converted into a minimalist toddler bed, and created an atmosphere of cocoons by putting up a fabric canopy.

Safety

A good cot must not only meet strict UK safety standards, but it should also be sturdy and comfortable to the touch. Find a sturdy design with sides or safety bars and an erect base to ensure that your child is unable to easily get out. Some cot beds (mouse click the next page) will also have additional features, such as teething rails and under-bed drawers, which can help you organize your home as your baby is growing.

Parent test participant Becki says her Boori cot "has endured through 3 kids and still looks amazing." Its traditional design will fit in with any home and is made from sustainably sourced Australian Araucaria and New Zealand Radiata wood, which means you can feel confident about your purchase. It can be converted from a cot to a toddler bed (leaving three sides up to provide reassurance) and comes with an option for an extension kit that takes it all the way up to a double bed when your child is ready.

This stylish and simple cot is a good choice for those on a tight budget. It's easy to assemble and comes with clearly labeled parts and clear instructions.

This cot comes with handy travel bag and is among the smallest cots we've test at 6kg. It's also extremely durable and has a sturdy frame that can withstand boisterous toddlers. The instructions were well written and clear, but our testers found the assembly to be a bit difficult. They were impressed by the fact that the slats were spaced sufficiently apart to avoid fingers getting caught in between them. It's also more expensive than other cots that we have reviewed, however the durability and functionality are worth the cost.

Design

When purchasing a cot bed it's easy to be engrossed in the spec and safety features, but don't neglect the style. It's crucial to select a cot bed that is both functional and beautiful.

The icklebubba Snowdon Classic Cot bed is the perfect cot for those who love design. Its sleek, modern take on the classic sleigh design doesn't have that bulky feeling that these types of cots can provide. It has plenty of space-saving storage and storage options, including an under-bed drawer that can be tucked away beneath the cot, as well as teething rails on the sides. Our mum tested it and found it to be solid and sturdy with the ability to adjust the height of the base three times, which allows the bed to expand with your child.

Alternatively, the Modena cot bed from Tutti Bambini offers excellent value for money and has an elegant panel design that will look great in any nursery. It's made to last until your child reaches six years old, converting first into a junior bed and later to a chic sofa bed. It's also one of the only cot beds we've tested with an opening as well as a hanging rail and teething rails. Its solid pine construction makes it a great choice for parents who want their cot to endure the test of time.

The Stokke Sleepie Cot Bed is another option with panels. It comes in a range of colors to match your nursery decor. Our mum testers loved its clever features including the storage drawer being especially useful for storing bedding and clothes. It's also among the easiest cot beds to assemble, with all the pieces clearly labeled and easy to follow instructions. It's also a great choice for those with a small space, as it can be collapsed and then flat-packed. It uses a standard cot-mattress (140cm by 70cm) and is suitable for babies to toddlerhood. A kit for extension allows it to be used until 10 years of age.

Convertability

Although most cots offers can be transformed to toddler beds through the purchase of a conversion kit some cot beds are designed to go further than this. Our top choice is the Boori Eton Convertible Bed, which can be converted into an infant bed (L207cm x W147cm x H90cm) and a sofa and daybed (L234cm x W145cm and H70cm). This makes it our top choice for durability that will last your child from birth to the age of.

It's not cheap in comparison to other cot beds that we test, but it comes with a premium look and feel that will suit any nursery. The instructions could have been more simple, but our parents test subjects were impressed with how easy it was for them to build and set up. This isn't a major issue, though, considering it was still a simple task and took less than 30 minutes to complete.

The cot comes with four different base heights for the mattress. This is an upgrade from the three most common options. This gives you the flexibility to adjust it as your child gets older, as they may need a lower or higher base level depending on their age and level. It also comes with teething rails as well as a plastic strip along the top to protect it from biting.

This cot is available in a variety of Scandi-inspired colors and our dad tester was attracted by the grey-colored finish. It's not cheap baby cots for sale, but it's a the best value for money since it will last into toddlerhood and beyond. It's also covered by an assurance of one year to ensure that it will last. The only thing you'll have to purchase separately is a mattress, which is not included.
