Choosing your baby’s cot bed is one of the most important nursery decisions you’ll make - but it doesn’t need to be overwhelming! We’ve broken it down to help you find the perfect one for your little one (and your home).
Cot vs Cot Bed: What’s the Difference?
-
Cots: Suitable from birth to around 2 years
-
Cot Beds: Last up to age 4–5, converting into a toddler bed when your baby is ready
A cot bed is often the more cost-effective and practical choice, especially if you’re short on space or looking to reduce future purchases.
What to Look For:
-
Adjustable base height (to lower as baby grows)
-
Teething rails for safety
-
Convertible functionality (into a toddler bed)
-
Sturdy frame with non-toxic finishes
