No matter if you select an ordinary or convertible cot, the primary factor to comfort is a mattress of high-quality that is supportive and promotes a healthy posture. The same applies to the slats, which must be secured and not sagging or bent. The slats should also be securely fixed to the frame, so that your child isn't stuck in them while they move during sleep.

Safety

A safe and secure sleeping environment is essential and a big consideration when choosing a bed. Make sure that the mattress is snugly fitted, with no gaps between it and the cot/cot sale bed's sides or ends (big gaps can keep your child's head from being caught in the arms). Verify that the mattress is firm and thin. Mattresses that are thick could increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in various materials including foam and natural materials that are good for those suffering from allergies. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your mattress has a drop side, ensure it is in the upward position and secured.

Drop sides should only be allowed to go down only when an adult is present in the room. This will prevent accidental releases. If your coffin has a solid bottom be sure to avoid placing it against the wall since it will block airflow and may contribute to the death of a coffin. The latest research suggests that slatted ends could be safer because they permit more airflow.

If your cot is fixed to one side, you should choose it. It's the safest option for your baby as they start to crawl and pull themselves upward. If your child is climbing with confidence and standing, it's the time to move to a junior bed.
