Crib Sets - Everything You Need For Your Newborn to Sleep Soundly From Day One

The best cot bed crib sets come with everything you need for your newborn to sleep soundly from the first day. They're pre-shrunk and machine washable and designed to fit snugly around the mattress without bunching - a serious safety risk for infants.

One parent tester said she used hers through two babies and then passed it to a relative which makes it a wise purchase. Its streamlined design also makes it a great option for minimalist nursery designs.

Bedding

There are plenty of options to choose from when it comes down to crib bedding. It's not only about picking one that is in line with your personal style. You also want to ensure that the bedding is fitted tightly and doesn't bunch up in areas where it could pose a choking hazard for your child. It should also be soft to the touch and durable enough to endure months of blowouts from diapers and spit-up, without deteriorating too quickly.

The Avocado set is one of our top picks. It includes two sheets made of 100% certified organic GOTS cotton. The textiles are also MADE SAFE certified, an independent third party certification that ensures that the company's products meet the highest standards of quality and safety. They're pre-shrunk so they won't stretch or shrink after washing, and they're made to fit on a standard crib mattress (27 1 4 inches wide by 51 5/8 inches long). The blankets can be washed to remove the inevitable mess that your baby will create.

A crib mattress pad is a great option for babies and toddlers. It provides an additional layer of comfort and shields the mattress from spills and stains. Select a mattress cover that is less than one inch thick to let your child breathe. Avoid anything that is too fluffy or with long ribbons, bows, and other adornments. These can come off and pose an injury to strangulation.

Consider purchasing a convertible crib if you intend to keep your baby in the crib for a long period of time. These beds can be transformed into a toddler bed, and occasionally even a daybed or full-size. Some cribs have the necessary conversion kits included however, others require an additional purchase.

This Dream On Me Ashton 5 in 1 Sleigh crib is among our favorites. It's constructed of solid wood and comes with one of the highest mattress heights (for parents who are worried about getting on a low mattress). We also love that it's Greenguard Gold certified, meaning it meets the strictest environmental standards for reduced off-gassing.

Mattress

Size and firmness are crucial when it comes down to a crib mattress. The AAP recommends a mattress that is firm which fits snugly, and does not leave an indentation on the surface when you place sheets over it. The mattress should also be of the right size for the crib, and it should remain in place, even after your baby grows out of it.

In addition, you'll want to be aware of whether the mattress is made up of substances that could harm your child. You should look for a mattress free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which emits an unpleasant chemical odor. CertiPUR US certification is a good sign. It is a certifiable sign that the foam used in the mattress is free of ozone depleters as well as other harmful chemicals.

Other things to think about include how much weight the mattress is weighing and whether it's waterproof or not. It's likely that you'll be dealing with nighttime sheet changes So having a surface that is waterproof or wipeable will help with cleaning. The Naturepedic Organic Cotton Classic 150 Seamless 2Stage is the heaviest product we've tested, weighing around 20 lbs. This could be a problem for certain parents.

A mattress with two sides may have one side that is firm for infants and a softer side for toddlers. Pediatricians advise flipping the mattress of your child when they reach the peak of normal growth. This is typically around 12 months.

When we tested crib mattresses, we measured them and observed how they could fold and move to dress the sides with sheets. We also put an 8-pound tin, slightly heavier than a newborn, on each one to see how much it recoiled. The top mattresses did not sink, meaning they have enough support to prevent your child from falling over or being suffocated in bed. A few of the mattresses we tested have an easily washable, removable cover that is waterproof and zips closed. This makes cleaning and maintaining them simpler.

Crib Rails

A crib isn't complete without the proper set of rails fixed. Some furniture companies for babies offer baby rails with the crib. Others offer them separately. If you opt to buy them separately, search for ones that meet all of the safety requirements. They should, for instance have no loose or missing screws, brackets, and other hardware. They should be strong enough to hold your child's weight, but not too thin. They should also secure themselves in place so that they can't be taken away by your child.

The best cot newborn crib rails will not only be strong but they must be able to fit snugly into the frame of the crib. This will keep the mattress from becoming flimsy and potentially risky for your child. Be sure to measure inside the crib frame when buying a crib rail. There are slight variations in the sizes of the crib. The space should ideally be no wider than three fingers.

You should also make sure that the crib rails do not include any cutouts with decorative designs or other embellishments. These can pose a suffocation risk. Avoid placing quilts, pillows blankets, sheepskins and blankets inside the crib. These can cause an unintentional buildup of carbon dioxide, increasing the risk of SIDS for your baby. If you're looking to provide a soft sleeping surface in the crib, crib sets you can try a crib pad and cover combination. These are comprised of a waterproof mattress pad and an elongated "skirt" that can be positioned around the mattress just like a fitted sheet.

You'll also want to make sure you have the proper crib rail guards. They are designed to protect your baby's head when it happens to hit the crib railings while feeding or cradling him or her beside the bed. They can also prevent the formation of marks from teeth and drool on the crib's railings on the sides that are fixed.

Sweetpea Baby offers a convertible crib toddler rail that will fit on most cribs that are standard. It's easy to install and meets the CPSC safety standards.

Crib Hardware

Some crib design features are strictly aesthetic and are based on individual preference, while others like the style of the slats that are on the crib or whether it can be converted into a toddler bedcould have a significant impact on the user-friendliness of the crib as well as its lifespan. The most durable cribs are made of solid wood construction, comply with multiple safety standards, and are easily configurable to a variety of mattress heights. Some cribs have special features that make them more effective. For instance, the Quick Zip Crib Sheet allows you to replace the sheets without having to remove the entire mattress.

In general, you should avoid cribs that have decorative cut-outs or other ornaments which could get caught on clothes or pose a risk of choking for infants. Check the crib hardware for loose bolts, as well as other items that could get caught on objects or clothing.

The top crib sets include simple instructions and all the necessary components, including hardware. The majority of modern cribs take half hour or less to put together, and a lot include all the tools you'll need.

Look into a convertible crib that can be converted into a daybed, toddler or full-size mattress. This is a good option for families who intend to utilize the crib for a long period of years or have a limited space. It's important to note that certain crib conversion kits require a second purchase to complete the conversion.

It isn't easy to comprehend crib hardware, but it's crucial to ensure safety and stability. Most cribs have a system of rectangular block, wedges (also called "shims") and large chocks known as step chocks. They're all designed to tighten the contact points between crib and the supported surface.

Some shims or chocks can be made of soft woods that crack slowly. This may give an audible warning when they fail. However, harder woods might break more quickly and with greater force. Plastic shims and chocks are also available and are easier to install because they do not require drilling or screwing into the surface.
