Best Cots For Newborns

A cot is an elevated bed for your child that stops them from falling off. They come in a range of styles from bedside cribs (bassinet-style cribs that attach to your side of the bed for secure co-sleeping) to travel cots.

The mother tester Jasmin appreciated the cot's storage space, which is ideal for sheets and blankets. It's also easy to set up and comes with an incline option to aid in reducing reflux.

1. Mamas&Papas Franklin Cot Bed

Cot beds are a parent's best friend. They keep baby safe and (hopefully) sleeping peacefully. When shopping for a cot, there are plenty of things to consider. From safety and spec to design and style. A good crib should last from the time of birth to toddlerhood. Therefore, durability is crucial. The cot is stylish and robust, and it meets all of the latest guidelines. It's also reasonably priced and comes with a mattress included.

This cot is a great illustration of how Mamas&Papas can design stylish and practical nursery furniture. It's a stylish choice for the first room of your baby, with a modern gray finish that is suitable for any colour scheme. It can also be converted into a cool daybed or toddler bed for longer-term use. It comes with two different heights of the base, making it easier to reach baby and more secure than a traditional drop-side cot. And it's designed with a shaped base which means it can be used in many standard doors, which is a real bonus for time-stretched parents. The dresser/changer is a perfect match to keep everything you need for your baby close in your arms.

2. SnuzFino Cot Bed

This crib is designed to be used by your baby from birth to about four years old. It has two levels of mattress that allow you to start with a higher level and then move to a lower one as your baby grows and teaches them how to sit up on their own. It was awarded Gold in the Mother&Baby Awards 2024 for best cots Moses basket or cot.

The slats on this cot are positioned more apart than other models we looked at This makes it more compact and ideal for bedrooms with smaller spaces. It also comes with a convenient side door, allowing you to get in easily to feed, nappies and changing. Our tester took only 12 minutes to set up the cot.

When you are choosing a cot bed be sure to choose one that meet safety standards. All cots must have bars that are not more than 6.5cm apart to ensure your baby's limbs aren't trapped. Also, ensure that the slats are firmly secured to prevent any loose or rusty fastenings.

A high-quality cot mattress is also key for the comfort of your baby. Find pocket springs or latex coated coir mattresses, as these offer the best support and don't shrink like foams. It is worthwhile to invest in a waterproof cover as well because any dirt will be absorbed directly into the mattress and could make your baby sweaty or uncomfortable.

Some cots come with additional features that include gentle rocking motions to help your baby settle (like the SNOO Smarter Cot), adjustable inclines that ease reflux, and storage for the nappy essentials (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are great accessories, but only buy items that are safe and suitable for your child.

3. Graco SnuzFino Bedside Crib

If you're looking for a crib for your bed that you can use from birth and keep close to your bed when baby sleeps, this could be the one you're looking for. It's a compact design that easily fits into standard door frames and weighs only 6kg, so it's easy to move around your home. It's also a breeze to climb up and down from it, which is ideal for those nappy changes.

One of our mom testers described it as being "exceedingly easy to put together." Its lightweight build lets you easily move it between rooms or even take it on a trip If you'd like. Its distinct design is popular with new parents who want to access their baby easily in the beginning stages of their child's development. It comes with a fitted mattress and a reflux wedge cover and a wedge cover, both of which are beneficial features.

The Toddler Kit will also allow it to be transformed into a toddler bed, which is great for parents as it will last as long as your child requires it. This is a gorgeous cot bed that has an Scandi style. It will look stunning in your nursery.

Another great alternative is this simple solid pine cot that is suitable from birth to 3 years and costs just PS372. Our testers loved its stylish paneled appearance. It is easy to assemble and includes a teething rail, storage drawer, and adjustable height settings. It's small size makes it a great option for people who have sloped ceilings or smaller space. Its solid construction also means it can stand the test of time and won't be prone to falling apart like some cot beds can.

4. Babyletto Bedside Crib

This crib in the bed lets parents snuggle their infant close just before bedtime. The NHS recommends that babies be kept in a separate room for the first 6 months but many parents find that having their child near them prior to bedtime relaxing.

This crib from Babyletto is made from non-toxic paint in a wide variety of colors, meaning you can blend it into your bedroom or nursery decor. It's also a good choice for parents with ceilings that slope who don't want a cot taking up a lot of floor space. It can be adjusted to 11 different heights, and then tilted into four positions, including an incline that helps with reflux.

While it's attractive, it's a solid design that should last through the toddler years too. One test-taker stated that her child used the cot for two babies and it was still in good enough condition to pass on to her newest.

Another advantage is that the cot is small and compact, so it's easy to put together and move around as needed. It's a great option for parents with limited space and can also be used as portable cot. It was easy to assemble and testers were impressed by the storage drawer that could hold everything essential for your baby. It's a bit pricey however, it's well worth the cost for its design and function. The cot isn't equipped with a mattress, which means you'll need to purchase one separately. We recommend an airy, firm and well-fitting mattress to prevent your child from getting suffocated. It should be a couple of inches shorter than the frame of the cot in order to prevent your child from being able to get out.

5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot

The SnuzFino is one of the sleeker cots on our list, but it's not all about appearances. With two mattress heights this cot will carry your baby through their first 18 months, and be converted into an adult bed by adding an (available separately) toddler kit. The design is timeless and chic and our test-run showed that it is suitable for any nursery, especially when you choose a matching changing unit and wardrobe.

No matter what type of cot is chosen, make sure it meets the regulations applicable to your baby's age and your home. The bars' spacing should be no more than 6.5cm (2 inches), which will prevent the baby's head from getting trapped, and the surface should be smooth to prevent the risk of suffocation. You'll also have to purchase an appropriate cot mattress that is ideally sized without gaps at the edges and made from breathable materials to ensure that your baby's temperature is kept in check.

While it's tempting to purchase a cot with additional features, such as built-in storage drawers, as well as removable bassinet sides (as with the Mamas&Papas Lua cheap cot bed), these should be carefully considered in light of your budget and lifestyle. The most ideal top rated cots allow your child to rest comfortably and safely. There are many all-in-one cot beds that have plenty of storage that don't cost a fortune.

If you are looking for a modern alternative, the SNOO crib with Smart Sleeper comes with a built-in sensor that responds to your baby's cry. It gently lulls into a motion similar to the mother's womb. The price is a little expensive, but it could be worth the investment for babies who are prone to fussiness.
