The Best Cot Beds For Your Little One
A comfortable night's rest is important regardless of whether you're camping, or visiting relatives. Consider investing in one of our best cot beds to ensure your baby is comfortable and safe (hopefully) sleeping comfortably.
This crib bed is a fantastic design. It has a slim aesthetic, and the frame is simple to put together. It can also be converted into a chic toddler bed.
The Mamas and Papas Coxley
Our overall winner, the Coxley is packed with design features that adhere to a beautifully hand-crafted aesthetic. It has three adjustable cot base heights and converts into a toddler bed, so will see your child through their first four years. It also comes with two rails for teething that help soothe gums and prevent them from chewing on the sides of the cot.
The Coxley is available in the complete nursery set that includes a stylish cotbed, a multi-purpose dresser/changer and double wardrobe. The dresser/change unit has an adjustable changing top that turns it into a convenient baby changing station to a sleek dresser that can be filled with all of your child's favourite toys and keepsakes. The drawers can be made to match the style of your nursery.
Some cots can be extended to 10 years or more using expansion packs. It's worth looking out for these because they can be cheaper than purchasing a whole new mattress and cot later on.
When it comes to the most effective cot beds that we have reviewed, the Coxley is a great choice. It ticks all the right boxes - it's well-made, simple to build and looks fantastic in any nursery. It is more expensive than other options and requires a standard-sized mattress which you will need to purchase separately. It's worth checking out, though, as we think it's well worth the money for a long-lasting design that appears extremely durable.
The Silver Cross Westport
The Silver Cross Westport is a elegant and sleek choice that will fit in with any nursery. It has warm oak details soft curves and a minimalist design. Baby and parents will be delighted. The cot bed can be used until your child reaches the age of four, and can be easily converted into a toddler bed using a simple extension kit. The matching dresser includes a drawer underneath the bed that is perfect for blankets and muslins. It also has teething rails so that your child can be safe while sleeping.
Our test subject found this cot to be the most effective of the models we evaluated for its design and ease of assembly with an Allen key included so that you can start working right immediately. The tester also praised its sturdy construction and premium feel, stating that it feels like an "real investment piece" and is a stylish addition to any nursery.
It's more expensive than other cot-beds we've looked at however, the quality and durability are worth the extra expense. The sleigh's design is stunning and will make any room in which your baby is the center of the attention! The useful extras, such as a useful drawer and teething rails will also help you avoid the expense of buying separate furniture pieces in case you're on a tight budget. We would recommend purchasing an oval mattress instead of one of the standard UK size to avoid stretching the slats out and causing discomfort for your baby. Our tester had no problems with the cot and deemed it an excellent purchase.
The La Redoute Willox
This cot bed is a true luxurious. With solid wood slats and birch oak, it's designed to last and has an authentic French feel to it. It is certified to French safety standards which means you can be certain that your child will be safe and sound. It is available in two stunning colors Grey-green and off-white.
Our test subjects found it simple to assemble and thought it was the most luxurious looking cot in our round-up. However, it's costly and you'll need to buy an additional mattress - and when you're on a tight budget, there are cheaper alternatives out there.
The Great Little Trading Company Little Wren Cot Bed
If extra features are important for you, then this cot bed might be the ideal option. It has an under-bed storage drawer and teething rails. Plus, you can adjust the height of the base with three different settings, so your child doesn't have to climb out of the bed when they're older.
The only drawback to this cot is that you will need to buy a mattress separately - something that can make the cost rise even more than other models in our review. Its stunning design and ease of assembly as well as ability to grow with your child are all appealing and make it a worthwhile investment. Our test participants loved this cot and thought it would be a beautiful accessory to any nursery.
The John Lewis Elementary
The John Lewis Elementary is a good choice for parents looking for a stylish modern frame that can last for a long time. It's a bit more costly than other options we've looked at, but it includes an accompanying changing table and wardrobe, making it possible to furnish your nursery in one go. It's also easy to assemble, and comes with three mattress height positions for your baby to grow into. It also comes with teething rails and an elegantly slidable drawer underneath to ensure that you don't need to lose precious floor space.
You'll need to purchase an additional mattress if would like to use this cot bed. Therefore, think about your budget in advance. A good mattress can be bought for less than PS100. Baby Crib 's not a huge cost. The only downside is that you might find it tricky to get an appropriate fit since the cot has an oval shape, but there are many kinds of mattresses that work for it.
A lot of parents choose to use cot beds due to the fact that they are great value and offer your child an enjoyable place to sleep. They're generally appropriate from the time your child is born until the time he is about four years old. However, some convert into toddler beds by the purchase of an extension kit. You can find some of them in our list of options if you're looking for a cot that lasts longer.
The Wooden Cot Bed
One of our favourite cot beds , this gorgeous solid-wood version is beautifully designed and extremely elegant. It comes with a variety of other features, including a drawer under the bed and three levels of base that can be adjusted. The cot can be used until the age of 4 years old (though the majority of them will need to be converted into a toddler bed with the conversion kit, which is sold separately).
The bed comes with a teddy bear canopy and teething bars that can be removed. This cot bed was easy for our tester to assemble. All the pieces were clearly labeled and well-packed. It's also very small in comparison to other cots we looked at which makes it a great choice for smaller rooms.
It's not expensive at PS599, with the mattress included. It's an investment piece, and you can use it for more than one child. It's beautiful in natural wood, but you can also purchase it in three Scandi-inspired colors. It converts to a toddler's bed with ease (leaving three sides up to ensure security) and then into a daybed/sofa when your baby is ready to let go of the bars.
This is an excellent choice for parents seeking a sleeping solution that will last as long as they do. Our parent tester Becki stated that her Boori cot was able to last through three children. The cot has a traditional design that's suitable for a variety of homes. It's made from sustainably sourced Australian Araucaria wood and New Zealand Radiata. The cot comes with some useful accessories like an teddy-bear canopy, teething rails and the option of purchasing an reflux wedge.
