Elegant Design
A white and wood crib is a chic option for any nursery. Its sleek lines, Scandinavian style and elegant design give it a timeless look that will last throughout childhood and beyond. Many cot beds are made to be able to change to the changing needs of your child, with adjustable mattress heights, and the possibility to convert it into single or toddler beds.
It is essential to select a mattress that is suitable for your child to ensure they get the best possible sleep. The ideal mattress for cots is made of natural fibres, such as cotton, wool or organic latex. It must also be breathable to ensure that your child does not overheat. Avoid PU mattresses as they are less expensive, but last less time and break down faster when they get wet.
A cot bed can be easily converted into an adult bed by removing the side rails, giving your child independence to get in and out of bed independently. The Leander Linea cot and the Stokke Sleepi Mini have this functionality and the slats could be removed once your toddler is old enough to leave the cot.
When purchasing a new cot, be sure that it meets the safety standards set by the industry and government. Check for features such as solid structure, a raised edge to stop your child from getting out of bed, and the capability to lower its base when it starts to rise up.
It is also essential to ensure that the cot bed can be used with a standard fitted mattress, and that it is the right size. The ideal dimensions for a cot bed mattress are 140cm x 70cm which is more than the normal single mattress.

Sturdy Construction
There are a lot of things to think about when you are preparing for the arrival of your baby infant. From the nursery to clothing and feeding routines there are many possibilities and decisions to be made. One of the most important things to consider is the cot bed mattress.
Cot mattresses must be firm enough to support the tiny infants and babies. They should also be able to adapt to movement, pressure and turning. Spring mattresses and foam mattresses that are cheap tend to deform easily and are less responsive than a latex-coated coir or pocket spring mattress. These mattresses last longer and will be better for your baby's spine.
It is essential to be aware of the mattress's height when selecting a white and wooden cot bed . This will allow for your baby to grow. This is a safety feature that will allow you encourage your child to get up and down on their own. This will give them a sense of independence and boost their self-esteem as they learn how to get up and out of the bed.
A cot of high-quality can be transformed into a toddler bed, which can extend its life and save you money in the future when you need the purchase of a replacement. The Oliver Furniture Wood cot is a prime example of this, with adjustable mattress heights as well as short grid side rails and three removable bars to be used from birth up to toddler years.
