Space-saving
Cot beds are smaller versions of traditional cots, but still offer all the safety and comfort features that your baby needs. They can be used from the time of birth, or until your toddler is ready to move up to a junior bed (around the age of 2). Some models convert into an elegant sofa bed for use with older children too.
Find a product that can be easily dismantled and reassembled in the event that you need to make room for other baby items. You may also want to think about a compact cot bed with built-in storage, or a multi-functional design that combines a chest of drawers, changing unit and bench seats into one piece of furniture.
There's a broad variety of sizes in our small cot beds and cribs roundup and, therefore, no matter if you have a small nursery or a large playroom, there should be something to suit your space. A majority of the designs on our list have an adjustable mattress, which makes it easier to keep your baby's bedding clean and tidy.
When selecting a cot, it is essential to take measurements of the space in your nursery and check the dimensions to make sure it's suitable before making your purchase. The distance between the bars should not be more than 6.5cm. This is for safety reasons.
Silver Cross Nostalgia is a crib that accommodates a 120x60cm standard mattress and has a beautiful sleigh style frame. It's built to last with a sturdy construction and high-quality materials, and is simple to adjust to your baby's needs as they grow.
