These mattresses are firmer than standard cot mattresses but are soft enough to ensure your child gets a good night's sleep.

The mattresses are cushioned to help prevent the accumulation of heat that can cause discomfort for some babies. The materials used on the mattress are free of chemicals and irritants to ensure they don't cause irritation to your baby's sensitive skin.

These mattresses are a great option for back and side sleepers as they provide excellent support for neck, head and body. These mattresses can be used in conjunction with the built-in cradle that comes with a cot, which is useful for those suffering from reflux or colic.

Safety

To ensure the safety of your baby it's essential to verify that the cot bed is in compliance with the UK standards it claims to be compliant with. You should look for the BS EN 716 code, or BS 8509 if it transforms into a toddler bed. You should also check that it's the right size for your nursery and has enough space for a secure sleep for your little one. It should be at least 140cm x 70cm, and there shouldn't be any gaps around the edges or corners.

Make sure that the mattress is firm and lies flat inside the cot. If it's soft, old or damaged, this can create a risk of suffocation. Check for any areas of sagging that could be dangerous, and test to see how quickly the mattress springs back when pressing down on it. A high-quality mattress for cots should be firm and flat when you press down on the centre of it.

Keep the cot clear of any toys, stickers, and anything else which could be a danger to choking. Babies should be able to move easily and roll over in their sleep, so it's important that the cot does not have raised corners or cut-outs they could use as footholds to climb out. If your cot has drop-sides, be sure to check them often to ensure that the mechanism is secure.

Do not place a cot next to an open radiator or a sunny window. They could get too warm or wake up with sunburn. You should also keep the cot away from cords for curtains that are mounted on the wall or baby monitor cables, as well as decorative accessories that have long cords.

Design

It is important to keep in mind that you're likely to invest in long-term furniture when shopping for a small bed. In contrast to cribs that are used for a limited period of time, cots and cot beds are suitable from the time a child is able to safely transition to a toddler or a single bed. Choose a cot with an adjustable base height to ensure that it will last. This feature allows you to lower the mattress's height to fit your baby's growth, keeping them secure and comfortable.

Another important feature to look out for is the capability to take off sections of the cot bars. This will give your child an impression of independence once they start to toddle and make it easier to help them get into and out of the bed. For even greater flexibility the cot beds such as the Leander Luna Baby Cot can be transformed into a comfortable sofa by taking the front off of the bed.

The slatted design of many cribs beds is a good option for a small space too, as it helps to circulate air and regulate your baby's temperature. This can make a big difference in the quality of sleep and help ensure that your baby gets a restful night.
