Comfort

There are many mattresses on the market that include coil springs, foam and other natural materials suitable for allergy sufferers - so do your research before deciding on the right one for your baby's needs.

It doesn't matter if you pick a conventional cot or a convertible cot one, a comfortable mattress is crucial to ensure your ease of use. It must provide the right support and encourage an upright posture. The slats need to be securely attached and not sagging. The slats must also be securely attached to the frame, so your little one doesn't get trapped in them while moving in their sleep.

Safety

When selecting a cot, the safety of your child's sleep should be the top priority. The mattress should be able to fit snugly and there should be no gaps between the mattress and the ends or sides of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps can hold the child's arms and head). Check that it's firm and thin - thicker mattresses aren't recommended because they can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a choice of mattresses, ranging from basic foam to natural materials for allergy sufferers and some even come with anti-microbial treatment. If your mattress has drop sides, make sure that it is in the up position and secured.

Drop sides should only be allowed to go to fall when an adult is present in the room. This prevents accidental releases. If your coffin has a solid bottom be sure to avoid placing it against the wall since this will restrict airflow and can cause the death of a coffin. The latest research suggests that slatted edges could be safer because they allow for more airflow.

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

Some cots have features that allow the base can be raised to three different levels in order to expand with your child - this is very useful and is a security measure. Some cots come with footplates that can be adjusted to suit for toddlers who like to stand up.

When placing your child's cot be sure that there are no visible hazards. It should be placed away from power and heater points. Also make sure it is away from windows, curtains and blind cords. They all could pose a strangulation risk. If you're buying second-hand or heirloom furniture be sure to look for any choking hazards like stickers and transfers that may be removed and create a risk.

If you're not sure how to use your cot safely you can ask parents around or go to an local NCT New Baby course for assistance and guidance. If your cot comes with a manual, make sure you read it before using it and adhere to the directions.

If the cot you are using does not meet the UK safety standards as defined by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which refers to mattress thicknesses, materials, and other important elements in baby mattress cots) it is not safe for babies to sleep. The slats must not be too close together, to ensure that your baby won't fall out.

Stores

This is the reason it's important to consider storage options when selecting a crib bed. Some cots come with additional storage options, like drawers underneath the bed or a coordinating top changer (available separately). Certain cots can be transformed into a toddler bed or small single bed to increase their usage.
