No matter if you choose a conventional cot or a convertible, a good mattress is vital to your the comfort. It should provide proper support and promote a healthy posture.

Safety

A safe sleeping environment is a must and a major factor when selecting a bed. The mattress should be snugly fitted and there shouldn't be gaps between the mattress and the sides or ends of the cot/cot-bed (large gaps can trap the child's arms or head). Make sure the mattress is firm and thin. Mattresses that are thick can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in different materials from foam to natural materials that are suitable for best cot bed allergy sufferers. Some even come with an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has a drop-side, make sure it is secured and in the up position.

Drop sides should only be allowed down when an adult is present in the room. This prevents accidental releases. Do not place your cot against a wall if it has an end that is solid. This will restrict airflow, which can cause death in the coffin. According to the most recent research, cots with slatted edges are safer since they allow for more airflow.

If your crib has a fixed side choose this option as it will be safest when your baby starts to crawl and pull themselves up. Once your child is standing and climbing, it is a sign they're ready to move into a junior bed.

Some cots have an option where the base can be raised to three different levels to allow it to increase with your child's growth - this is very practical and a great safety measure. Some cots come with footplates that can be adjusted to suit for toddlers who want to stand up.

When you put your child in their cot, ensure that there isn't any visible danger - it must be kept away from heaters and power points, windows and curtains and blind cords (these are a strangulation hazard). If you're purchasing second-hand or heirloom furniture be sure to look for any hazards to choking such as stickers and transfers that can be removed and pose the risk of.

If you're not sure how to use your cot safely you can ask other parents or visit an local NCT New Baby course for support and advice. If your cot has instructions, read them carefully before using it, and be sure to follow the safety-use guidelines carefully.

Another thing to look for is a toothing rail that is available in a few cots. This will prevent your child from chewing on the cot's wooden structure, which could cause irritation. Some cots feature more traditional designs and come with a large storage drawer beneath the bed. It is perfect for toys, clothes blankets, baby essentials.
