There are a variety of mattresses on the market - foam, coil springs and natural materials for allergy sufferers - so do your research before deciding on the best one for your baby's requirements.

No matter if you select a standard or convertible cot, the key to comfort is a mattress of high-quality that is supportive and promotes a healthy posture.

Safety

When selecting a cot, the safety of your child's sleep should be the top priority. Make sure that the mattress fits snugly, with no gaps between it and the cot/cot bed sides or ends (big gaps could trap your child's head or arms). Make sure it's firm and thin. Thicker mattresses aren't recommended, because they can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in various materials, from foam to natural materials that are great for allergy sufferers. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your crib has an inclined side, make sure it is in the upward position and locked securely.

A drop side should be allowed to go down when an adult is present, this prevents accidental releases. Avoid placing your cot against walls if it has an end that is solid. This can limit airflow, which could result in death of the coffin. According to the most recent research, slatted end cots are safer since they permit more airflow.

If your crib has a fixed side choose this option as it will be safest when your child begins to crawl and then pull themselves up. Once your child is standing and climbing, it is a sign that they are ready to transition into the junior bed.

Some cots offers feature features that allow the base can be raised to three different levels to allow it to increase with your child's growth which is extremely convenient and an added security measure. Some cots have adjustable footplates, which are ideal for toddlers wanting to stand up in their bed.

When you place your child's cot, make sure there are no visible hazards. It should be kept away from heaters and power points. Also be sure to keep it away from windows, curtains, and blind cords. These can all present a strangulation threat. When purchasing second-hand furniture, or heirlooms, be sure to check for choking hazards such as stickers and transfers. They may peel off and cause danger.

If you're unsure of what you should do to use your cot, consult other parents for help or go to an local NCT New Baby class. If your cot comes with an instruction manual, read it carefully before using it, and be sure to follow the safety guidelines closely.

If your nursery is small, a crib could be the best choice for you since it is smaller and takes up less space, but if your baby is likely to spend much of their time in their parents' rooms or you'd like a more long-lasting bed, opt for a crib.

If a cot doesn't meet the UK safety standards outlined by BS EN 716 or BS 8509 (which cover mattress thicknesses, materials and other important elements in baby mattresses for cots), it is unsafe for babies to sleep. The slats shouldn't be too far apart to stop your child from falling out.

Stores

Many cots come with additional storage solutions available such as under-bed drawers or a top rated cots changer (available separately).
