Style and Design

When you are choosing a cot for your baby it's easy to get caught up on the safety and specifications features. But don't overlook the style. You want a cot that's elegant and blends into your nursery, regardless whether it's a modern or traditional setup.

Obaby Maya Mini Cot Bed, our top pick for this category, is a gorgeous piece that's easy to assemble and looks great in any room. It's also very durable and the only cot we tested that we believed would stand the test time. The bars are narrow, which means there aren't any nooks and crevices to collect dust and make cleaning as simple as possible. As your baby grows and develops, you can lower the base further to prevent them from climbing out. The teething rails shield them from sharp teeth.

Silver Cross Nostalgia is another stunning piece. It's a gorgeous sleigh-style cot that can be used from birth. An extension kit, sold separately, permits it to be converted into a toddler bed. The three different heights will ensure your child is at ease throughout their development, but the fiddly assembly process could put off some. It's also costly, but it's worth the investment when you're looking for a timeless design that will last for years to come. Gemma is the mother of Boden aged 13 months.

Comfort

When you are preparing your baby's nursery, it is easy to get caught-up on safety and spec features. But it is equally important to consider comfort. If your child will spend many hours in their cot it is essential that they are comfortable and safe.

Convertibility

This makes cot beds a more popular option than cribs and can be a cost-effective investment since you won't have to buy a new baby bed for your child once they get out of it.

Stokke Sleepi, for example can be used up to age 2 if you purchase an additional mattress extender as well as a junior conversion kit (sold separately). It's simple to put together and looks lovely in any nursery. However, you will need to use an adjustable sheet that can fit the cot bed, not a best cot newborn as the gaps between the bars are quite wide.
