This simple but stylish crib is our top choice from the Anyday range of John Lewis. It has three mattress height positions, teething rails and storage drawer. It is also simple to put together, and comes with clear instructions.

Comfort

The most comfortable cot beds keep babies comfy and cosy. Find a comfortable, soft fabric. Make sure that the mattress is fitted snugly to eliminate any gaps that could pose the danger of suffocation. There are many mattresses available on the market - foam, coil springs, natural materials for allergy sufferers. So do your research before deciding on the one that is suitable for your baby's needs.

No matter if you choose a conventional cot or a convertible one, a comfortable mattress is essential to comfort. It must provide the right support and promote an upright posture. This is also true for the slats, which must be securely attached and not bent or sagging. The slats must also be securely fixed to the frame, to ensure that your child will not be caught when they move during sleep.

Ask your family and friends for recommendations, or read online reviews. Choose mattresses that are breathable, as they help regulate your body temperature, and are less likely to hold bacteria.

There are a myriad of styles to pick from such as traditional sleighs, with intricate details and sleek, modern designs. Some are even painted with bold primary colours which is great when you want your little one to wake up feeling fresh and cheerful!

Safety

When choosing a cot an environment that is safe for sleeping should be the top priority. Make sure that the mattress is snugly fitted, with no gap between it and the cot's beds edges or sides (big gaps can keep your child's head from being caught in the arms). Make sure it's firm and thin. Thicker mattresses aren't recommended, as they may increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in different materials including foam and natural materials that are suitable for those suffering from allergies. Some have anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has drop sides, make sure it is in the up position and locked securely.

Drop sides should only be permitted down only when an adult is present in the room. This will prevent accidental release. If your cot has a solid end do not place it against the wall because it will block airflow and may contribute to coffin death. According to the most recent research, cots with slatted ends could be safer as they allow for greater airflow.

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

Some cots come with an option where the base can be raised to three different levels, so that it will expand with your child which is extremely practical and a great security measure. Some cots have adjustable footplates, which are ideal for toddlers who wish to sit up in their beds.

When putting your child's cot in the crib be sure that there aren't any visible dangers. It should be kept away from power and heater points. Also be sure to keep it away from windows, curtains and blind cords. They all could create strangulation risks. If you're buying furniture that is second-hand or an heirloom, check for dangers to your child's health such as stickers and transfers that may be removed and create the risk of.

Stores

The amount of baby equipment you'll need is overwhelming regardless of whether you're a first-time parent or a seasoned one.

Many cots come with additional storage options, such as drawers in the under-bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Some are even able to be converted into a toddler bed or a single bed, increasing their usability for longer.

Some cot beds can be further adapted into a day bed like this one on the Cam Cam Copenhagen Harlequin cot sales. This is an excellent option for those who like an edgier design. The conversion is easy and requires only the removal of ONE side panel. It also lets parents save money on a separate bed purchase.

A few cot beds have a hanging rail which can be used to store muslins, dolls and other small objects. This helps to keep everything organized tidy, neat and tidy and looks great. Being able to access these items will make it easier for parents to feed their child.

Another thing to look for is a teething rail that is available with cots. This can prevent your little one chewing on the wood which could cause them irritation. Some cots offers are designed with a more traditional style and come with a large under-bed storage drawer that is ideal to store blankets, toys clothing, and other baby essentials.
