The choice of a good mattress for your cot is vital to ensure that your child has the best night's sleep. The best cot mattresses are made from natural fibres like cotton, wool or organic latex and should be breathable to stop your baby from overheating. Avoid PU foam mattresses as they are typically less expensive, but they have a short life span and degrade quickly, especially when wet.

A cot bed can also be converted into a toddler bed by removing the rails on the sides and allowing your child the freedom to move into and out of the bed independently. This is possible with the Stokke Sleepi Mini and Leander Linea cots. The slats are removable once your child has outgrown the cot.

When you are looking for a new cot, look for one that meets all the safety standards that are set by the government and industry bodies. Look for things such as sturdy construction, an edge that is raised to prevent your child from climbing out, and the ability to lower the base when they begin to stand up in the bed.

You should also ensure your cot bed is safe to use with an ordinary fitted sheet and that the mattress is of the correct size. The ideal dimensions for the mattress for cots are 140cm x 70cm. This is larger than the standard single mattress.

Sturdy Construction

When you are preparing for the arrival of your baby there are a lot of things to think about. There are numerous choices and choices to consider, from the nursery to food and clothing schedules. But one of the most important ones is the cot bed mattress.

Cot mattresses have to be firm enough to support tiny bodies of babies and infants. They also need to be responsive to pressure, movement and turning. Cheap foam and spring mattresses deform easily and are less responsive than a latex-coated pocket spring mattress or coir. These mattresses last longer and are better for your baby's spine.

It is important that you be aware of the mattress's height when choosing a white and wood cot bed. This will allow your baby to grow.
