Buying Small Cot Beds

It's easy to focus on the safety and features when you're looking for a compact bed. But don't forget the aesthetics. A well-designed bed can make the small space appear bigger and less clutter-filled.

This model is perfect for bedrooms with smaller spaces. It's light and stroller-style. It's the easiest flatpack assembly.

Space-saving

Cot beds are smaller versions of traditional cots, but still offer all the safety and comfort features your baby needs. They are suitable from birth, or until your toddler is able to move up to a junior bed (around the age of 2). Some models can be transformed into a stylish couch bed for older children.

Choose a model that can be easily dismantled, then reassembled when you need to store other baby items. You may also want to consider a compact cot bed that has built-in storage or an all-purpose design that incorporates an armoire as well as a changing unit and bench seat into a single piece of furniture.

You can find a wide selection of sizes in our small cot beds and cribs roundup and, therefore, regardless of whether you have a tiny nursery or a large playroom, there's a bed that will fit your space. A majority of the designs on our list come with a fitted mattress which makes it easier to keep your baby's bedding clean and tidy.

When choosing a cot, it is essential to determine the size of your nursery and verify the dimensions to ensure it will fit before purchasing. The gap between the bars should not be greater than 6.5cm. This is for safety purposes.

Our real mums loved the Silver Cross Nostalgia cot, that can accommodate the standard 120 x 60cm mattress and comes with a beautiful frame that resembles a sleigh. It is built to last, with high-quality materials and a sturdy structure. It is also easy to adjust to your baby's increasing requirements. However, it's a much more expensive option than some of the other cots we've reviewed, and you'll need to buy a separate mattress if you choose this model.

The Mamas & Papas Franklin cot, which we consider to be the most value cot, is another excellent option for a small nursery. It comes with a variety of extra features that include teething rails. There are also two height positions that can be adjusted to fit your baby's growth. It's also easy to assemble. The mattress is included, however a second one will be required for the toddler conversion.

Comfort

Pick a small cot that has an incredibly comfortable mattress. This will allow your baby to sleep well. These mattresses are firmer than standard cot mattresses but are soft enough to ensure that your child has a comfortable night's sleep.

They are cushioned to reduce the retention of heat, which can cause discomfort in certain babies. The materials used in the mattress are free of irritants, chemicals and other substances that can cause irritation to your baby's skin.

Typically, these types of mattresses are a great choice for side and back sleepers as they provide good support for the neck, head and body. They can also be used in conjunction with the cot's built-in cradling, which parents have found to be helpful for colic and reflux.

If you are considering a crib bed with cushions it is important to determine the size of the mattress and if it will fit into the cot's base. It is also possible to determine if there are any other specific rules and regulations to adhere to when purchasing mattresses for cots like the minimum thickness.

If you're in search of an cot that can expand with your child, then consider this adaptable design from Vox. It is a cot that can be converted into a toddler bed. This saves you the expense of buying an additional bed for your child when they are ready.

The user-friendly configuration of this cot was highly praised by our panel. Mum Grace noted that it "came out of the box and folded like the back of a camping chair". The middle joints snap in place and the cot then collapses over itself. No complicated mechanisms are required. It's also light and compact, fitting neatly into a bag that's slightly larger than a camp chair's case, and is ideal for taking it to grandparents' homes.

This Mini Cot Bed is extremely comfy despite its size being higher than the other models in our tried and tested range. It is designed to feel like a mattress, with plenty of padding, and a springy bottom that absorbs the weight without making your child feel as if they're in a bouncer. It's a solid, stable option for back and side sleepers. Senior editor Nick Belcaster did note that stomach sleepers might have issues with it.

Safety

For your baby's safety, it's important to check that the cot bed is in compliance with the UK standards it claims to comply with. You should look for the BS EN 716 code, or BS 8509 if it transforms into an infant bed. Also, make sure it's the correct size for your nursery and offers enough space to provide a safe sleeping environment for your child. It should be at least 140cm x 70cm, and there shouldn't be any gaps around the edges or corners.

Make sure the mattress is firm and sits flat inside the cot. If it's soft, old or damaged, it could create a risk of suffocation. Examine the mattress to determine whether it bounces back quickly after pressing. A good quality cot mattress should feel solid and flat when you press it down on the centre of it.

Keep the cot clear of toys, stickers and anything else that could cause choking. Babies should be able to move freely and roll over in their sleep, so it's important that the cot doesn't have raised corners or cut-outs could be used as footholds to climb out. If your cot features drop-sides, make sure you check it often to ensure that the mechanism is secured.

Do not place the cot next to an open radiator or a window that is sunny. It could become too hot or wake up with sunburn. Make sure the cot is kept away from cords on wall mounted curtains as well as baby monitor cables and decorative accessories that have long cords. These cords can strangle babies and older children might reach out to grab cot bars or pull themselves up.

This cot is well worth the extra cost if you want an Scandi-style design and a high quality finish. The instructions are clear and the wood is solid. It takes a while to assemble. It's not expensive, but it will last into their toddler years.

Design

It is important to keep in mind that you'll be investing in furniture that will last a long time when you shop for a bed that is small. In contrast to cribs, which are designed for a short period of time, cots can be used from the moment a baby is born until they can safely transition to an adult bed or a single bed. Choose a cot with an adjustable base height to ensure it lasts. This feature allows you lower the mattress height to accommodate your child's growth, keeping them secure and comfortable.

Another important feature to keep an eye out for is the ability to remove sections of cot bars. This will give your child an impression of independence once they begin to play and make it easier to help them get into and out of the bed. For more flexibility Some cot beds, such as the Leander Luna Baby Cot can also be converted into a cosy sofa simply by taking off the front of the bed.

The slatted design of many cribs is a good option for a small space, also, since it helps air circulate and regulate your baby's temperature. This is a significant difference when it comes to comfort, and could make all the difference when trying to ensure that your child gets an adequate night's rest.

A small cot or bed is a fantastic investment in your baby's sleeping habits and security, and is a beautiful accessory to any nursery. Cuckooland offers a variety of cots and beds to pick from.

For each cot, you'll find a variety of accessories, including soft duvets, plus premium bedding. This allows you to create an inviting tots and cots comfortable environment for your baby, making sure they get the best crib for newborn rest possible.
