Choosing the Perfect Sleeping Option: Cot vs. Cot Bed
Let’s explore the key differences, features, and some standout examples to help you make the best choice for your little one.
When designing your baby’s nursery, the choice between a cot and a cot bed is an important decision.
These options vary in size, functionality, and longevity, catering to different needs.
Key Differences Between a Cot and a Cot Bed:
A COT typically measures internally 120 cm x 60 cm, making it ideal for newborns and smaller nursery spaces.
A COTBED is slightly larger internally at 140 cm x 70 cm, giving it more longevity and the ability to convert into a toddler bed.
A cot is best for infants up to 2-3 years old or for grandparents homes where space maybe a little more limited – with many traditional models not converting to a junior bed , however some modern designs do.
A cot bed is designed for extended use until 4-5 years of age, and often transforming into a junior bed. Another stand out feature of one of the Babymore Cotbeds The Aston is the “dropside” – a must-have feature for shorter parents, ensuring easy access to your baby.
Adjustable Mattress Base Heights are found in all cots and cotbeds made today, these allow you to lower the base as your baby grows. Essential to keep your baby at the safest height for their development.
Teething Rails are in place to protect the cot’s edges and keep it safe for your teething baby.
As well as the smaller sized cots, some brands offer the “Mini Cot Bed” like the Caro or Eva from Babymore or the Snowdon by Icklebubba. These are perfect for smaller nurseries, starting at just £139.
