Comfort

The best cot beds keep children warm and cozy. Choose a breathable soft and comfortable fabric. Make sure that the mattress is snug to eliminate any gaps that could pose a risk of suffocation. There are a variety of mattresses available, including coils springs, foam and natural materials for allergy sufferers. Do your research to find the most suitable one for your child.

It doesn't matter if you pick a conventional cot or a convertible cot one, a comfortable mattress is essential to the comfort. It must provide the right support and encourage a healthy posture. The slats should also be firmly attached, and not sagging. The slats should also be firmly attached to the frame to ensure that your child will not get caught when they move in their sleep.

Safety

When selecting a cot, a safe sleeping environment should be a priority. Make sure that the mattress fits snugly, with no gaps between it and the cot's bed sides or ends (big gaps could keep your child's head from being caught in the arms). Verify that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Thick mattresses can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer a range of mattresses, ranging from basic foam to natural materials for allergy sufferers and some even contain anti-microbial treatments. If your cot has a drop side, ensure it is in the up position and secured.

A drop side should only be allowed to fall only if an adult is present, this will prevent accidental releases. If your coffin has a solid bottom do not place it against the wall since it can block airflow and may contribute to coffin death. The latest research suggests that slatted ends may be safer because they allow for more airflow.

If your crib has a fixed side, opt for this as it is the most secure option when your child starts to crawl and pull themselves up. When your child is standing and climbing, this is a sign they're ready to move into the junior bed.

Some cots feature a feature where the base can be raised to three different heights in order to grow with your child which is extremely practical and a great security measure. Some cots offers feature footplates that can be adjusted to suit for toddlers who like to stand up.

When placing your child's cot be sure that there are no visible hazards. It should be kept away from power and heater points. Also be sure to keep it away from windows, curtains and blind cords. All of these could create strangulation risks. If you are buying second-hand furniture or heirlooms to look for any dangers to your child's health such as stickers and transfers. They may peel off and pose a danger.
