Easy to Assemble
It's easy to get caught up in the spec and safety features when you shop for a folding wooden cot bed, but don't forget the design of the furniture too. It is essential that the cot bed is an attractive piece of furniture that fits with the overall style and feel of your nursery.
This is why we are in love with this white and wood cot bed from Silver Cross, which isn't expensive, but it looks luxurious. Our MFM tester says it's "really gorgeous," with a classic Sleigh-style design that is easy to dress up or down. It's also sturdy and practical, with storage under the bed, teething rails and a classic sleigh-style shape that's easy to dress up or down.
The instructions are easy to follow and an Allen key is included. Our test participant took only 12 minutes to put together the cot, which she found impressive considering it is an extremely sturdy and durable piece of furniture. The mattress slats have been fixed to ensure the longevity of the cot. The sides of the wooden cot bed and mattress were not high enough to allow our tester to easily climb in and out when changing nappies or feeding a baby.
There are a variety of kinds of wood to make the frame of this cot, which could assist in changing the appearance and design. For instance, mahogany is a great choice. It has rich colours and can give your nursery a glamorous feel, whereas oak is a sturdy option that can hold its shape. The wood is also FSC certified, which means it's sustainable.
If you are not a DIY expert, or you do not have the time or the patience to complete the task, John Lewis offers a service of assembly at a cost of PS60. This includes putting the cot on the wall if needed and then removing the packaging. It's important to note that you'll have to purchase a mattress separately for this cot.
The best thing about this cot bed is that it can be used until your child is four and then be converted into a toddler's bed. The slatted base comes with three mattress height positions which can be adjusted as your little one grows. It's also made of top-quality materials and tested to ensure it meets all of the latest British and European safety standards.
Elegant Design
A white and wood crib is a chic accessory to any nursery. Its clean lines, Scandinavian style and elegant design give it a timeless look that will last throughout the years and beyond. A lot of cot beds are designed to adapt to your child's needs, with adjustable mattress heights and the option of changing it into the size of a toddler bed or a single bed.
Choosing a quality cot mattress is essential to ensure your child gets the best night's sleep. The most suitable cot mattresses are made from natural fibres such as wool, cotton or organic latex. They should be breathable, preventing your baby from overheating. Avoid PU mattresses, which are more expensive but have a shorter life span and break down faster when they are wet.
A cot bed can be easily converted into toddler beds by removing the rails on the sides and allowing your child the freedom to move into and out of the bed independently. The Leander Linea cot and the Stokke Sleepi Mini have this function and the slats could be removed when your child has outgrown the cot.
When shopping for a new cot bed, look for one that meets the safety standards established by industry and government bodies. Look for features like a sturdy construction, an edge raised to stop your child from getting out of bed, and the capability to lower its base when it begins to rise up.
It is also essential to ensure that the cot bed can be used with a standard fitted mattress and that it is the appropriate size. The ideal dimensions for a mattress for cots are 140cm by 70cm, which is greater than a standard single mattress.
If you're in search of a stylish functional cot that can expand with your child, you should consider the Oliver Furniture Wood Mini+. The minimalist design of the brand, non-visible screws and solid birch construction provide the highest quality finish. It's also a green choice since the cot is certified FSC and only uses European forests, making it more eco-friendly than traditional wood products.
Sturdy Construction
There are a lot of things to consider when preparing for the arrival of your baby baby. There are a lot of options and decisions to make from the nursery to clothing and feeding schedules. But one of the most important ones is the mattress for a cot bed.
Cot mattresses must be firm to support the tiny bodies of infants and toddlers. They must also be responsive to movement, pressure, and turning. Cheap foam and spring mattresses tend to deform easily and are less responsive than latex-coated Coir or pocket spring mattress. These mattresses last longer and are better for your baby's spine.
If you're considering a wood or white cot bed, it's crucial to ensure that the mattress comes with an adjustable base height to accommodate your baby's growing. This is a safety feature that can allow you to encourage your baby to climb up and down independently. This will give them a feeling of independence and boost their self-esteem as they learn how to get up and out of the bed.
A cot that is of high-quality will also be able to be transformed into a toddler bed which can help prolong its life and save you money on a replacement later down the road. The Oliver Furniture Wood cot is an example of this, with adjustable mattress heights, short grid side rails, and three bars that are removable to allow it to be used from birth up to toddler years.
The Obaby Evie cot bed is the perfect complement to a modern nursery due to its sleek lines and elegant styling.

You can choose from a drawer that is simple under the bed or a bigger wardrobe for storing your wooden cot and bed-bed. The former is a good way to keep all of the baby's bedding and clothes in one place and is perfect for those who don't have a lot of room in their home. You can also opt for the drawer that shuts and is ideal for keeping nappies and other necessities out of sight, but easily accessible.
