The Best Cot Beds For Your Little One

When you're camping with your baby or visiting family, a comfortable night's sleep is essential. Invest in one of our best cot beds, to ensure your baby is comfortable, safe and (hopefully) sleeping comfortably.

This cot bed is an excellent design. It is slim and sleek, and the frame is easy to put together. It can also be transformed into a stylish toddler's bed.

The Mamas and Papas Coxley

Our overall winner, the Coxley is packed with design features that adhere to an exquisitely designed and hand-crafted style. It has three adjustable cot bases and can be turned into a toddler's bed. It will last your child for the first four years. It also has two rails for teething that aid in soothing gums and stop them from chewing on the cot sides.

The Coxley comes in a complete nursery set that includes a chic cotbed as well as an all-purpose dresser/changer. It also comes with double wardrobe. The dresser/change unit comes with a removable changing top that can transform it from a handy baby changing station into an elegant dresser that can be filled with your children's favorite toys and keepsakes. The drawers are completely customizable so you can match it to your nursery style.

A cot of good quality should last until your child reaches four years old. However certain models offer the possibility of purchasing expansion packs that extend their use to five or even 10 years. They can be less expensive than buying a brand new cot or mattress.

The Coxley is a fantastic choice for cot beds. It's simple to put together and is well-made. It looks fantastic in any nursery. However, it's somewhat more expensive than some of the other options we've listed and will require a standard sized mattress (which you'll need to buy separately). It's definitely worth checking out, though, because we believe it's worth the money for a long-lasting design that appears extremely durable.

The Silver Cross Westport

The Silver Cross Westport is an elegant and sleek option that will go well with any nursery. It has warm oak details, soft curves and a minimalist design. Parents and babies will enjoy it. The cot bed is designed to last until your child is four years old. It can be converted to a toddler bed by using an easy extension kit. The matching dresser includes an under-bed drawer that is perfect for blankets and muslins. It also comes with teething rails so your child is safe sleeping.

Our test subject found this crib to be the best out of all the cots we evaluated for its design and ease of assembly, with an Allen key that comes with it so you can begin working right from the start. She also praised its strong construction and high-quality feel, saying that it felt like it was a "real piece of investment" and also an elegant design for any nursery.

It's a little more expensive than some of the other cot beds we looked at, but it's still an affordable option that's worth the extra price for its quality and longevity. The sleigh's design is striking and will make any room in which your baby is centre of attention! The nifty extras, including an adorable drawer and Cots4Tots rails for teething, will also save you the expense of buying separate furniture pieces when you're on a strict budget. We suggest buying an oval mattress instead of one of the standard UK size one, to prevent stretching the slats and causing discomfort for your baby. Our tester had no issues with the cot, and deemed it an excellent buy.

The La Redoute Willox

As the name suggests, this cot bed is a symbol of luxurious. It is constructed of solid birch and plywood slats and is designed to last. It has the French look and feel. It also meets French safety standards and you can rest assured that your child is in good hands. It's available in two stunning colors Grey-green and off-white.

Our test participants found it easy to put together and believed it was the most luxurious design cot we've reviewed in our roundup. It's expensive, particularly since you have to buy the mattress separately. If you're on budget, there are cheaper options available.

The Great Little Trading Company Little Wren Cot Bed

If extra features are important to you, then this cot bed might be the best choice. It comes with a handy under-bed storage compartment and teething rails. Plus, you can adjust the height of the base through three different settings, so your child doesn't have to climb out of the bed when they're older.

The only drawback of this cot is that it requires a mattress separately which could cause the price to go even higher than other models we've reviewed. Its gorgeous design as well as its ease of assembly and the ability to grow with your child are all appealing which makes it a worthy investment. Our test participants thought this cot would make an excellent addition to any nursery.

The John Lewis Elementary

The John Lewis Elementary is a great option for parents wanting a stylish contemporary frame that can stand the test of time. It's more expensive than the other options, but it comes with an accompanying changing table and wardrobe to outfit your nursery all at once. It's also easy to assemble and has three mattress height positions for your baby to develop into. It also comes with teething rails and an attractive drawer that slides underneath so that you don't have to compromise your floor space.

It's important to note that you'll need a separate mattress for this cot bed, so make sure you budget for it. You can find a decent mattress of good quality for less than PS100 which isn't too much of an additional expense. The only drawback is that you may be unable to find an appropriate fit since the cot has an oval shape, however there are many kinds of mattresses that work for it.

Many parents choose cot beds due to the fact that they are affordable and give your child a comfortable place to sleep. They're usually suitable from the time your child is born until the time he is about four years old. However, some can be converted to toddler beds with the purchase of an extension kit. There are some of them in our list of options if you're looking for a cot mattress that will last for a longer time.

The Wooden Cot Bed

One of our favorite cot beds, this beautiful solid-wood model is well designed and very stylish. It also comes with a variety of useful extras, including a handy drawer underneath and three adjustable heights for the base. The cot is suitable for children from 4 years old to age (though some may need to be converted into a toddler bed with the conversion kit available separately).

A teddy bear canopy and teething rails that can be removed are included. Our tester said this cot bed was easy to put together, particularly since all pieces were clearly labeled and well-packed. It's also small in size compared to some of the other cots we looked at and is a good option for smaller rooms.

It's not expensive at PS599, with the mattress included. It's an investment piece, and it can be used for more than one child. It's gorgeous in natural wood, but it also comes in three Scandi inspired finishes. It can easily be converted into a toddler bed (leaving the three sides in place to ensure safety) and later into a sofa/daybed once your child is ready to let go of the bars.

This is a great choice for parents seeking a sleeping solution that lasts for as long as their children do. Our test with parents Becki said that her Boori cot could last for 3 children. It has a lovely traditional design that's suitable for the majority of homes, and is constructed from sustainable sources of Australian Araucaria and New Zealand Radiata wood. The cot comes with some useful extras like a teddy-bear canopy teething rails, as well as the option to buy an reflux wedge.
