Yes, there is a difference between a cotbed and a cot! While both are designed for babies, they serve different purposes and have distinct features.
Main Differences Between a Cot and a Cotbed
| Feature | Cot | Cotbed |
|---|---|---|
| Size | Smaller (typically 120 x 60 cm) | Larger (typically 140 x 70 cm) |
| Usage Duration | Suitable from birth to around 2-3 years old | Suitable from birth to around 4-5 years old |
| Convertibility | Fixed structure, does not convert | Can be converted into a toddler bed |
| Longevity | Shorter lifespan | Longer lifespan (as it transitions into a bed) |
| Cost | Usually cheaper upfront | More expensive initially, but saves money in the long run |
Which One Should You Choose?
- Choose a Cot if you have limited space, a smaller budget, or plan to transition your child to a bigger bed early.
- Choose a Cotbed if you want a long-term option that grows with your child and eliminates the need for a toddler bed later.
Both are great choices—it just depends on your needs! 
Here are some examples of both and some budget busting choices :
Stella By babymore is one of very few available with a dropside – £389 (often on offer with a £100 Off)
The Clara Cotbed by CuddleCo is a luxurious choice to compliment any space – £399
Smaller spaces- opt for a mini cotbed or cot such as O Baby Nika Mini – £205
