A top-quality option that will look great in nursery spaces that are reminiscent of Scandi. It's a sturdy and durable option that will grow with your child. It has three mattress height positions and the option of removing the sides for a stylish bench-style toddler bed.

Budget

When you think of cots, there's something for every budget and every nursery. There are a myriad of choices that come with different durations and some of them can be converted into toddler beds to be used throughout the preschool years or beyond. Obviously, the ones that convert into a bed tend to be more expensive, but the investment could be worth it if you want a cot that lasts for many years, not just a few months.

The Mamas & Papas Coxley was our overall winner, with its elegant design and simple design. It's a great choice for those who want an extremely high-quality cot that will stand up to the test of time. Our testers for parents loved the minimalist design and warm oak finish of this model, which would look amazing in a modern-style Scandi nursery. The cot bed also has a drawer, which mum tester Katrina felt was a better option than some cheaper cots that have a built-in drawer, and a plastic strip that prevents bites across the top of the rails of the cot to prevent your child from getting their teeth caught in the bars. The cot bed isn't inexpensive, and it requires an Allen key for setting up.

A more budget-friendly option that still gives your baby a comfy night's sleep is the Elementary cot from John Lewis' Anyday range.

Safety

A cot that is safe and sturdy will not only meet UK safety standards, but also feel solid and secure. Look for a robust design with sides or safety bars and solid foundations that your child can't easily climb out. Some cot beds have additional features, such as teething rails, under-bed drawers and even a crib which can help organize your home as your baby is growing.

Design

The icklebubba Snowdon Classic bed is the ideal bed for design-lovers. Its sleek, modern take on the classic sleigh design does not have the bulky feel that these cots are known for.

Some cots are designed to be more than just a toddler bed. Our preferred choice is the Boori Eton Convertible Plus Bed, which transforms into an infant bed (L207cm x W147cm x H90cm) and a daybed and sofa (L234cm x W145cm x H70cm).
