With so many baby essentials to consider, a top cot bed is one of the most important purchases. We've created this guide to assist you in choosing the right cot for your baby.

This high-end option works perfectly it perfectly Scandi style nurseries. It's a sturdy and durable option that will grow with your child. It has three mattress height positions as well as the ability to remove the sides to create a chic bench-style toddler bed.

Budget

There's a cot to fit every nursery and budget. There's also a variety of options with different levels of durability, with some converting into toddler beds for use into the preschool years and beyond. Of course, the ones that convert into beds are generally more expensive, but the investment could be worth it in the event that you need an item that lasts for many years, not just a few months.

The Mamas & Papas Coxley won our overall prize. Its luxurious aesthetics and easy-to assemble design make it a great option for those who want an excellent cot that will last for a long time. This model's minimalist design and warm color will look fantastic in an Scandi nursery. This cot bed comes with a drawer that mum tester Katrina believed was a better choice than some cheaper cots with an integrated drawer. It also comes with an anti-bite strip on the top rails of the cot to stop your child's teeth from getting caught. But at PS599 with a mattress that is sold separately the cot isn't cheap and it requires an Allen key to start it up.

The Elementary cot is a cheaper option that will provide your baby a good night's sleep. It's part of the range called Anyday by John Lewis. Our parent testers liked the simple design and quick, straightforward assembly. The cot is small when folded and can be put away away easily too, fitting into a carry bag that's the size of the carry case for a camp chair. It's not ideal for camping in the car however it's suitable for those living in apartments or who won't be moving their cot too much.

We recommend the SnuzKot as another cot for under $100, particularly when it comes with a toddler kit (sold separately) and mattress extender. It will expand with your child until they're about four years old, and our dad tester loved the fact it converted to an unassuming toddler bed and created a cocoon-like feeling with its fabric canopy.

Safety

A cot that is of good quality must not only meet strict UK safety standards, but also be sturdy and comfortable to the touch. Find a sturdy design with safety bars or sides, as well as a solid base that your child can't be able to climb out. Some cot cribs beds will also have additional features such as teething rails and drawers under the bed which can help organize your home as your baby is growing.

The Boori cot is made from sustainable Australian Araucaria wood and New Zealand Radiata, so you can be sure of the purchase. It converts from a cot to a toddler bed (leaving three sides open for reassurance) and also has the option for an extension kit that takes it all the way up to a double bed when your child is ready.

This simple but stylish cot is a great option when you're on a tight budget. It is easy to assemble with clearly marked parts and clear instructions. It comes with three height settings for the mattress so that you can adjust it as your baby grows. It fits most standard Mini Cot Bed mattresses and is a great buy for the price.

If you're looking for a top cot, this is a good choice. It comes with four mattress base positions when in cot mode, and will last until your baby is about three years old. It is also foldable and has wheels that lock, making it easy for moving it from one room to the next.

This cot comes with a handy travel bag, and is one of the lightest cots we tested at 6kg. It's also extremely robust with strong frame that can stand up to the demands of boisterous toddlers. Our testers found it to be a little challenging to put together, however the instructions were clear and well-written. The slats were spaced sufficiently apart to prevent fingers from getting caught between them. It is also more expensive than other cots we have reviewed, but the quality and durability make it a worthwhile investment.

Design

It's easy to overlook the design when you are buying a cot bed. It is essential to choose a cot that is both functional and beautiful.

The icklebubba Classic Cot bed is the perfect bed for design-lovers. Its sleek, modern version of the classic sleigh design isn't as bulky that these cots offers are known for. It also offers storage space and features an open drawer that can be placed under the cot, plus teething rails that can be affixed to the side. Our mom tester found it sturdy and robust with three positions of base height that allows the bed to grow with your child.

The Modena cot-bed from Tutti Bambini is a great value and comes with a panelled design that can be suitable for any nursery. It's made to last until your child reaches six years old, converting first into a junior bed, and then into a stylish sofa bed. It's also one of only a handful of cot beds that we've tested with a drawer and a rail for teething and a hanging rail.

The Stokke Sleepie Cot Bed is another option with panels. It comes in a range of colors to match your nursery decor. The storage drawer is useful for bedding and clothing. Our mum testers were impressed with its features. It's also the easiest cot bed to assemble. The components are clearly labelled, and the instructions are easy to follow. It is also an excellent choice for those who have limited space as it can be flat-packed and then collapsed. It is made of a standard cot-mattress (140cm by 70cm) and is suitable for children from birth to toddlerhood. An extension kit allows it to be used up to 10 years old.

Convertibility

If you're a new parent there are a lot of baby must-haves to consider. One of the most important is a good quality cot bed - you want something that will last for as long as you can and grow with your child to provide them a safe and comfortable place to sleep.

While most best cots can be converted to toddler beds through the purchase of a conversion kit, some cots are made to go further than this. The Boori Eton Cot Bed is our top choice. It converts into an infant (L207cm, W147cm, H90cm), it can also be used as a daybed (L234cm, W145cm and H70cm) and a sofa (L234cm, W145cm, and H70cm). This makes it our top choice for durability that will last your child from birth to childhood.

It's expensive when compared to other cot beds we test, but it comes with a premium look and feel that will suit any nursery. Our parent testers were really impressed by how simple it was to set up and build but they did say that the instructions could be more clear. This isn't a big issue however, as it was still a breeze and took less than thirty minutes to complete.

Another impressive characteristic of this cot is the fact that it has four mattress base heights which is an upgrade on the three most common options. This allows you to adjust the cot as your child grows. They may require a lower or higher base level, based on their age and capabilities. It comes with teething rails that are useful as well as a plastic strip on the top to stop it from being bit.

The grey finish was the preferred of our dad's testers. It's not cheap baby cots, however it is a great value because it will last your child into the age of toddler and beyond. Additionally, it comes with an one-year guarantee which gives you peace of mind that it will be sturdy and durable. The only thing you'll need to buy separately is a mattress, which is not included.
