Look for a breathable soft and comfortable fabric. Make sure that the mattress fits snugly, to eliminate any gaps that could create a risk of the mattress becoming suffocated. There are a variety of mattresses available including coil springs, foam and natural materials for allergy sufferers. So do your research before deciding on the right one for your baby's needs.

It doesn't matter if you pick a conventional cot or a convertible one, a comfortable mattress is vital to your ease of use. It must provide the right support and encourage a healthy posture. The same is true for the slats. They should be securely attached and not bent or sagging. The slats must also be securely attached to the frame so that your child doesn't get trapped in them while moving during sleep.

If you're not sure what mattress to buy, ask your family and friends or consult online reviews for recommendations. Choose mattresses that are breathable, as they will help you regulate your body temperature, and are less likely to hold bacteria.

Safety

When choosing a cot the safety of your child's sleep is a must. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the edges or sides of the cot or cot-bed (large gaps could trap the child's arms or head). Check that it's solid and thin - more thick mattresses aren't recommended, as they may increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in various materials from foam to natural materials that are suitable for those suffering from allergies. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has drop-sides, make sure it is locked and in the upward position.

A drop side should only be allowed to drop only if an adult is present; this prevents accidental release. If your coffin has a solid edge do not place it against the wall because it will block airflow and can cause coffin death. According to the latest research, cots with slatted ends are safer since they allow for greater airflow.

If your cot is fixed on one side, choose it. It's the most secure option for your baby when they begin to crawl and then pull themselves upwards. Once your child is confidently standing and climbing, it is a sign they're ready to transition into the junior bed.

Some cots feature an option where the base can be raised to three different heights, so that it will expand with your child which is extremely useful and is a security measure. Other cots come with footplates that can be adjusted, which are great for toddlers who want to sit up in their bed.

When placing your child's cot ensure there aren't any obvious dangers. It should be put away from heaters and power points. Also, keep it away from windows, curtains, and blind cords. These can all present a strangulation threat. When buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms, be sure to check for dangers to your child's health such as stickers and transfers. They can come off and create a risk.

If you're unsure of how to use your cot in a safe manner you can ask other parents or attend an local NCT New Baby course for assistance and guidance. If your crib comes with a manual be sure to go through it prior to using it and follow all the directions.

It can also be converted into a toddler bed and desk when your child gets older (see the product description for details).

Cot beds are generally bigger than cribs and can be turned into toddler beds when your child is ready which means you don't have to worry about buying another bed when they're ready to transition. However, they can be more expensive than a standard crib.

If your nursery isn't big enough, you might want to consider a crib. It is smaller and takes less space. However it is recommended to consider a cot if you are planning to spend a lot of your baby's time in your bedroom, or if you need a bed that will last longer, you should choose a cot.

If the cot you are using does not meet the UK safety standards outlined by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which covers the thickness of mattresses, the materials used, and other key elements in baby mattresses for cots) it is not safe for babies to sleep. The slats should not be too close together, to ensure that your child doesn't fall off.

Stores

If you're a new parent or an experienced one the amount of things that a baby requires is overwhelming. This is the reason it's important to consider the storage options when you choose a crib bed. A number of cots and tots have additional storage solutions available such as drawers in the under-bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Some cots are able to be converted into an infant bed or a small single beds to expand their use.

Some cot beds can be converted into a daybed as shown on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin best cot beds.

Some cots have an older style and include a large storage drawer under the bed that is ideal for clothes, toys blankets, baby essentials.

While this is a great idea if you're in a tight space, you should keep in mind that you'll have to purchase an extra for the drawer. You may need to buy bedding and a mattress separately, as oval sheets and mattresses don't come with the cot.
