Style & Design
It's easy to become caught up in the specifications and safety features when you are choosing a crib for your baby but don't forget about the design. You want a cot that's elegant and blends in with your nursery, regardless whether it's a modern or traditional configuration.
The Obaby Maya Mini Cot Bed is our top choice in this category as it's a gorgeous piece that's easy to put together and looks fantastic in the room. It's also very durable and the only cot that we tested we felt would be able to stand the test of time. The narrow bars ensure that there aren't any nooks and crevices to collect dust in, making cleaning as simple as possible. The base that is lower is great for infants. As your baby becomes more active, you can lower it to stop them from falling out, while the teething rails keep them safe from their sharp teeth.
Silver Cross Nostalgia is another amazing piece. It's a beautiful sleigh-style cot that can be used from birth. An extension kit, available separately, allows it to be converted into a toddler-sized bed. The three height options will keep your little one at ease as they grow, however the time-consuming assembly process may turn off some. It's also expensive but worth the extra investment if you're looking for an iconic design that will last for many years to be. Tested by Gemma, mum to Boden, 13 months.

Obaby Nika is a modern premium cot bed with exceptional safety features and a stylish design.

Our reviewer also found it easy to assemble and then move around the room once completed. Its unique oval shape makes it possible to fit through doors that have standard frames.
Comfort
When you are planning your nursery for your baby, it's easy to get caught-up in the safety and spec features. However, comfort is equally important. If your little one will be spending many hours in their cot and crib, they must be comfortable and safe.

The Mamas & Papas Franklin cot bed is another option if you're looking for a cot that comes with additional features such as a handy drawer, teething rails and two adjustable height positions. It was easy to put together and Jill was impressed with how it fitted through door frames that are standard. You will need to buy an oval mattress separately.
Convertibility
Cot beds are designed to last longer than standard cots, providing your child with the bed they need from birth until toddlerhood. This makes cots a better choice over cribs. They're also more affordable since you don't need to purchase a brand new bed for your child when they are no longer in it.
Some cots or cot beds can also adapt to the needs of your child. They can be turned into junior beds, or even small sofas. The Stokke Sleepi for example can be used until age 2 and beyond with the purchase of the junior conversion kit and mattress extender (sold separately). It's easy to put together and looks lovely in any
nursery cots, although you'll need an adjustable sheet that can fit the cot bed, not a cot as the gaps between the bars are wide.
