Comfort

The best cot bed will keep infants comfortable and warm. Find a comfortable soft, soft fabric. Make sure the mattress is fitted snugly to eliminate any gaps that could cause the danger of the mattress becoming suffocated. There are many types of mattresses available, including coils springs, foam and natural materials for allergy-sufferers. Do your research to determine the best one for your child.

Whether you opt for a standard or convertible cot, the primary factor to satisfaction is a high-quality mattress that provides proper support and promotes a healthy posture. The slats need to be firmly attached, and not sagging. The slats must also be securely connected to the frame to ensure that your child will not become caught in the movement in their sleep.

If you're not sure what mattress to buy, consult your family and friends or consult online reviews for suggestions. Look for ones that are ventilated, as they'll aid in maintain temperature and are less likely to harbour bacteria.

For added security, opt for a cot that meets the stringent UK safety standards and will easily transform into an infant bed when the time is appropriate. Look for this information in the description or in the specifications.

Safety

A safe sleeping environment is an essential factor when selecting a cot. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps could restrict the child's arms or head). Check that it's firm and thin. Thicker mattresses aren't recommended cribs, since they could increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer a variety of mattresses, ranging from basic foam to natural substances for allergy sufferers. Some contain anti-microbial treatments. If your cot has a drop-side, make sure it is secured and in the upward position.

A drop side should only be allowed to go down only if an adult is present; this will prevent accidental release. Do not place your cot against the wall if it is an end that is solid. This will restrict airflow, which can lead to coffin death. The latest research suggests that slatted edges could be safer as they permit more airflow.

If your cot is fixed on one side, choose it. It will be the most secure choice for your baby when they begin to crawl and pull themselves up. When your child is standing and climbing, it is a sign they're ready to move into the junior bed.

Some cots feature an option where the base can be raised to three different heights, so that it will increase with your child's growth which is extremely convenient and an added security measure. Some cots have footplates that are adjustable, which is ideal for toddlers who wish to sit up in their bed.

When putting your child's cot in the crib, make sure there are no visible hazards. It should be placed away from power and heater points. Also be sure to keep it away from windows, curtains and blind cords. They all could pose a strangulation risk. If you're buying second-hand or heirloom furniture, check for hazards to choking such as stickers and transfer tapes that could be removed and create the risk of.

If you're unsure of what you should do to use your cot, ask other parents for advice or attend a local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with a manual, read it carefully before you start using it, and follow the safety guidelines closely.

If your nursery is small, you might want to consider the possibility of a crib. It is smaller and occupies less space. However should you be planning to spend a significant portion of your baby's time in your room, or if you need a bed that lasts longer, you should opt for a crib.

A crib isn't safe for babies to sleep in if it doesn't meet the strict UK safety standards set out in BS EN 716 and BS 8509, which deals with mattresses' thicknesses, materials, and other essential elements of baby cot mattresses. The slats shouldn't be too wide apart to stop your baby from falling out.

Storage

The amount of baby stuff you'll need is overwhelming regardless of whether you're a first-time parent or a seasoned one. This is the reason it's important to think about storage options when selecting the crib bed. A number of cots have additional storage solutions available such as drawers in the under-bed or a top changer (available separately). Certain cots can be transformed into an infant bed or a small single beds to expand their use.

Some cot beds can be further adapted into a day bed as shown on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great option for those who prefer a less rigid design as the conversion process is simple and involves the removal of a side panel.

A variety of cot beds feature a hanging rail which can be used to store muslins dummies and other small items. This makes everything tidy, neat and organized. It also looks beautiful. Being able to access these items makes it easier for parents when feeding their infant.

A teething rail is an additional important feature that's included in some cots. This will stop your child from chewing on the cot's wooden structure, which can cause irritation. Some cheap cots are designed in a more traditional style and include a large under-bed storage drawer which is perfect for storing blankets, toys clothes, and other baby necessities.
