A Wood and White Cot Bed
Suitable from the time of birth and designed to grow with your child, this cot is "sustainable by design" and is made of European woods that are harvested sustainably. It is curved to fit into the majority of spaces. It can be turned into a toddler bed with the removal of one side.
It was easy to assemble, and it appears to be an extremely solid, sturdy piece of kit. It includes a drawer as well as a the most luxurious mattress.
Easy to Assemble
It's easy to be caught up in the details and safety features when looking for a cot bed but don't forget about the style of the furniture as well. It is essential that the cot bed is a stylish piece of furniture that goes with the overall design and feel of your nursery.
That's why we love this wood and white cot bed from Silver Cross, which isn't expensive, but it looks luxurious. Our MFM tester says it looks "really beautiful," with a classic sleigh-like shape that is easy to dress up or down. It is also durable and practical with under-bed storage teething rails, as well as the classic sleigh shape that's easy to dress up or down.
The cot is simple to build with clear instructions and an Allen key included. It took our tester only 12 minutes to build it, which she said was impressive considering it's a sturdy and durable piece of furniture. The mattress slats are fixed to ensure the longevity of the cot. Our tester also liked how the sides of the cot are low enough to make it easier to take a baby in and out of it - ideal for when you're changing nappies or feeding your baby!
The frame of the cot can be made of a variety of wood types which can alter the appearance and style. For instance, mahogany is a great choice. It has rich colours and can provide your nursery with a glamorous feel, whereas oak is a durable choice that is good for holding its shape. The wood is FSC certified and therefore sustainable.
If you're not an expert DIY expert or are tight on time, John Lewis offers an assembly service for PS60 that includes fixing it to the wall (if needed) and removing the packaging. You'll also have to purchase a mattress for this cot.
This cot bed can be used until your child is at the age of four. At that point, it can be converted to a toddler bed. The bed base slatted with slats includes three mattress positions that can be adjusted to fit your child's growing needs. It is made of high-quality materials, and has been tested to ensure that it meets the latest British and European standards for safety.
Style Design
A white and wood cot bed will add style to any nursery. Its sleek lines, Scandinavian style and elegant design give it a timeless look that will last throughout the years and beyond. A majority of cot beds are designed to adapt to the changing needs of your child, with adjustable mattress heights as well as the option to convert it into an infant or single bed.
Selecting a high-quality cot mattress is essential to ensure that your child has the best quality sleep. The most suitable cot mattresses are made of natural fibres such as wool, cotton or organic latex. They should be breathable to stop your child from overheating. Avoid PU mattresses as they are less expensive, but last less time and degrade more quickly when they are wet.
By taking the side rails off a crib bed you can easily transform it into the bed of a toddler. This will give your child the ability to climb up and down from the bed independently. This is possible with the Stokke Sleepi Mini and Leander Linea cots. The slats can be removed after your child has grown out of the cot.
When purchasing a new cot, make sure it is safe and meets all standards set by the industry and government. Look for features like a sturdy construction, a raised edge to prevent your child from falling out of bed and the ability to lower the base when it begins to stand up.
It is also important to ensure that your cot bed is safe to use with an ordinary fitted sheet and that the mattress is of the correct size. The ideal dimensions for a cot-bed mattress are 140cm x 70cm. This is bigger than the typical single mattress.
If you're in search of a stylish and practical cot that can evolve with your child, you should consider the Oliver Furniture Wood Mini+. The minimalist design of the brand, non-visible screws and solid birch construction guarantee the highest quality finish. The cot is also an environmentally friendly choice as it is FSC certified and only uses European wood.
Sturdy Construction
When preparing your baby's arrival there are plenty of factors to think about. From the nursery to clothes and feeding routines, there are endless possibilities and choices to be made. But one of the most important ones is the mattress for a cot bed.
Cot mattresses should be strong enough to support the infants and tiny babies. They must also be able to adapt to movement, pressure and turning. Mattresses made of cheap foam and springs can easily deform and are less responsive than latex-coated coir or pocket spring mattress. These mattresses last longer and will be better for your baby's spine.
When you are choosing a wood and white cot bed, it's essential to make sure whether the mattress has an adjustable base height to accommodate your baby's growing. This safety feature can encourage your child to get in and out of bed independently. This will give them a sense of independence and boost their self-esteem as they learn to get in and out of the bed.
A cot of high-quality can be converted into an infant bed, which can extend its lifespan and save money in the future on replacing it. The Oliver Furniture Wood cot is an example of this. It comes with adjustable mattress heights, short grid side rails, and three bars that are removable to be used from birth until toddler years.

It can also be converted into an infant's bed. Compatible with the Silver Cross TrueFit Cot Mattress, your child can sleep comfortably until they're ready for a standard single-sized bed.

When you're thinking about storage options for your cot bed you can pick between a simple under-bed storage drawer or a more spacious wardrobe. The first option is a great solution to keep all your baby's clothes and bedding in one location. It's ideal for families with small space in their home.
