Product Reviews

Izziwotnot's Bailey Sleigh cot bed isn't the most expensive, but it's stylish and well-made. It's easy to put together, though it requires two people, and it looks lovely in any nursery. The panel we used was a fan of the dark wood and the dowel sides, and it's sturdy enough to be used until your baby turns toddler. It also is compliant with British safety standards. The depth isn't enough to ensure that your child can get out the panel, and the distance between slats should not exceed 65mm. This should stop their heads from becoming stuck. It's important to keep in mind that you'll need to purchase a mattress separately and that's an extra PS88.

This cot stands out because of its sleigh-shaped design. It's also easy to get your baby in and out of this cot, which is a huge benefit. It's slightly more expensive than other cot beds, however our panel thought it was worth the extra money for its appearance and the durability.


The cot bed is available in a choice of rustic pine or walnut finishes and is suitable from birth. It has three mattress heights to ensure that you can begin by placing your child high to make it easier for them to use at night or during the day. Then lower it as they get older. It also comes with teething rails that protect your child's gums as well as their precious furniture. When your child is out of the cot bed, it can be transformed to a junior bed and then an ottoman.

Silver Cross' westport design is another cot that has an excellent feel and is constructed to last. It can be used as a cot starting at birth, then as a toddler bed, and then as a junior bed (toddler guard rails are available separately). Our panel found it difficult to convert from cot to bed, but their other half of them said it was a doddle and took less than five minutes to complete. It's also a bit more expensive than other cots but it's a style that you'll likely want to keep for your children as they grow up.
