Pine is the most common material for cot beds. It's a soft wood, which means it is more susceptible to scratches and dents, however, it's also a renewable material and incredibly sturdy. Other options include birch oak and beech which are hard woods that offer more resistance to wear and tear. Some cots can also be made from engineered wood. This is a combination of MDF or plywood with an overlay to create a more durable and long-lasting surface.

Safety

Cots and cots must meet the new health and safety standards to ensure that children sleep in a safe environment. They should also not have sharp edges, and the distance between bars should not exceed 6.5cm. This will stop infants from climbing through or getting stuck between the bars. They also cannot use them as a ladder. When buying a second-hand cot or antique, ensure it has been properly cleaned and meets current safety standards. Older cheap cots may have been sprayed with lead paint, which poses an enigma for children.

Also, ensure that it isn't too close or blocked by radiators or furniture. Also, be careful not to place the cot near window blind cords as these could be a risk of strangulation.

You need to ensure that the cot bed you purchase is able to move around from room to room and even to the garden. This is because your baby could be in the crib for longer periods of time than you believe.

The design is modern and simple with slatted open sides that let you monitor your baby easily. It also has three positions for the mattress to allow your baby to grow, as well as teething rails for extra security.

Another top pick is the Mamas & Papas Franklin cot, which comes with all sorts of useful extras. Along with a handy storage drawer and teething rails it has two height positions to let your baby continue using the cot until they're ready for toddler bed.

It can be transformed into daybed or a toddler by attaching an attachment kit (sold separately). This makes it suitable for use from birth to the age of four and saves you the expense of purchasing a separate Toddler Bed.

Another option is the Great Little Trading Company Little Wren Cot Bed, which is stylish and sleek sleigh design with a handy under-bed storage drawer to keep all baby must-haves at hand.
