Comfort

Make sure that the mattress is fitted snugly to prevent any gaps that could pose the danger of the mattress becoming suffocated. There are many types of mattresses available - coils springs, foam, and even natural materials for allergy sufferers. Do your research to find the ideal mattress for your child.

Whether you opt for an ordinary or convertible cot, the most important thing to ensure comfort is a good-quality mattress that is supportive and promotes healthy posture. The slats need to be securely attached and not sagging. The slats should also be securely attached to the frame to ensure that your child will not become caught in the movement during sleep.

Ask your friends and family for recommendations, or read online reviews. Choose mattresses that are breathable, as they can help regulate your body temperature and less likely to be a breeding ground for bacteria.

Safety

When choosing a cot an environment that is safe for sleeping should be a priority. The mattress should be snugly fitted and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps can restrict the child's arms or head). Check that it's firm and thin. Thicker mattresses aren't advised since they could increase the risk of SIDS. There are many companies that offer mattresses made of different materials including foam and natural materials that are good for those suffering from allergies. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has a drop side, ensure it is in the up position and secured.

A drop side should only be allowed to drop when an adult is present - this will prevent accidental release. If your coffin has a solid bottom, avoid placing it against the wall as it will block airflow and could cause death in the coffin. According to the most recent research, cots with slatted edges could be safer as they allow for greater airflow.

If your crib has a fixed edge choose this option as it will be safest when your child begins to crawl and pull themselves up. When your child is climbing with confidence and standing, it's time to upgrade to a junior bed.

Some cots come with an option that allows the base to be raised to three different levels. This is a fantastic safety measure and enables your child's cot to grow with their needs. Other cots come with footplates that are adjustable, which is ideal for toddlers who wish to sit up in their bed.

Whenever you place your child in their cot, check whether there is no obvious danger - it should be away from heaters, power points, windows, blind cords and curtains (these pose a strangulation risk). If you're buying furniture that is second-hand or an heirloom, 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 how to safely use your cot, consult other parents for advice or take part in a local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with a manual, read it carefully before using it, and follow the safety guidelines closely.

Cot beds are generally bigger than cribs and can be transformed into toddler beds when your child is ready which means you don't have to worry about purchasing a new bed at an age when they're ready to move on. However, they are pricier upfront than a standard crib.

If your nursery is small, you might want to consider a crib. It is smaller and takes less space. However, if you plan on spending a lot of your baby's time in your bedroom or you need a bed that lasts longer, you should opt for a cot.

If a cot doesn't meet the UK safety standards as defined by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which refers to the thickness of mattresses, the materials used, and other important elements in baby cot mattresses) it is not safe for babies to sleep. The slats shouldn't be too close together to ensure that your baby won't fall off.

Storage

The amount of baby stuff you'll need is overwhelming whether you're a new parent or an experienced one. This is the reason it's important to think about storage options when selecting a crib bed. Certain cots offer additional storage options, like drawers under the bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Certain cots can be transformed into toddler beds or a smaller single beds to expand their usage.

Some cots are able to be converted into day beds, as seen here on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin Cot. This is a great choice for those who prefer more flexible designs as the process of conversion is simple and involves the removal of one side panel.

Some best cots are designed with an older style and come with a large under-bed storage drawer that is ideal for storing blankets, toys clothing, and other baby necessities.
