Best Cots For Newborns

A cot is a bed that is elevated for your child that stops them from falling off. There are many styles, from bedside cribs to travel cots.

The mom tester Jasmin appreciated the cot's storage compartment that is perfect for sheets and blankets. It is also easy to set up and has an inclined design to ease reflux.

1. Mamas&Papas Franklin Cot Bed

Cot beds are often a parent's best friend. They keep baby snug, and (hopefully) asleep soundly. However, when you're looking for one there's a lot to consider, from specs and safety to design and style. A good cot should last from birth to toddlerhood. So durability is important. This cot is stylish, robust and complies with the most recent regulations. It's also affordable, and comes with an extra mattress.

Gemma, mother of Boden aged 13 months has tested the product.

This cot is a fantastic example of how Mamas&Papas can design stylish and practical nursery furniture. It's a modern choice for the baby's first bedroom with a modern grey finish that'll fit in with any color scheme. It can also be converted into a cool day bed or toddler bed for long-term use. It also comes with two different heights for the base, making it more secure and easier to reach your child than a traditional drop-side cot. It's shaped base allows it to fit through doors of all sizes, which is a great advantage for parents who are strapped for time. It comes with a dresser and changer to keep the essentials for your baby close to hand.

2. SnuzFino Cot Bed

This cot is designed to follow your baby from birth to about four years old. It comes with two mattress levels, so you can begin with a lower base 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 in 2024 for the best crib, cot or Moses basket, and is a top pick for parents.

The slats on this cot are positioned more together than some of the other models we tested and makes it more sleek and ideal for smaller bedrooms. It also has a handy side door so you can get in easily to feed, nappies and changing. Our tester took just 12 minutes to put together the cot.

When choosing a cot bed be sure to choose one that are safe. All cots should have bars that are not more than 6.5cm apart so that your baby's limbs don't get caught. Also, ensure that the slats are securely fixed to prevent any loose or loose fastenings.

It is essential that your baby has an incredibly comfortable cot mattress. Select mattresses made of latex-coated coir or pocket springs, which offer the best support and do not slide. It's worthwhile to invest in a waterproof cover too since any dirt or soil will go directly into the mattress and could make your baby sweaty or uncomfortable.

Some cots come with extra features, such as gentle rocking movements to help your baby settle (like the SNOO Smarter Cot), adjustable inclines to ease reflux and storage for nappy necessities (like the Mamas&Papas Lua Bedside Cot). These are a great alternative, but be sure to only purchase items that fit securely and are suitable for your baby's.

3. Graco SnuzFino Bedside Crib

If you're looking for a crib for your bed that you can use from birth and place close to your bed when baby sleeps, this one might be just what you're seeking. It's a small design that fits easily through doors with standard frames and weighs just 6kg so it's easy to move around your home. It's also simple to get up and go down, making it the perfect choice for nappy changing.

It's light and portable, meaning it is easy to move between rooms or even on holiday. Its design on its own is a hit with many new parents who want to be able to reach their baby quickly in the beginning stages of parenting. It also includes a reflux wedge cover and a fitted mattress and a mattress, both of which are useful features.

It can also be converted into an infant bed using the included Toddler Kit (PS70), which is a great benefit for parents because it means it will last until your child is ready to move on from cot life. This is a beautiful crib bed with an Scandi style. It will look great in your nursery.

This solid pine cot is also a great option. It is suitable for babies to 3 years old, and costs just PS372. Our testers really liked its stylish panelled look. It's simple to put together and comes with an excellent storage drawer, a rail for teething and adjustable height settings that can be helpful in keeping your newborn safe. It's small size makes it an ideal option for those with sloped ceilings or smaller areas. Its robust construction means it will last for many years and will not fall apart like some cot-beds.

4. Babyletto Bedside Crib

This bedside crib allows parents to cuddle their baby close to them just before bedtime. The NHS recommends that babies be kept in a separate area for the first six months, however many parents find it soothing to have their child in close proximity before they go to sleep.

The cot comes in a variety of colors and paints that are non-toxic which means it can be matched to your bedroom or nursery cots decor. It's also a great choice for parents with sloped ceilings who do not want a cot that takes up a lot of floor space. It can be adjusted to eleven different heights, and tilted to four different positions. This includes an incline for reflux.

It's also a well-constructed design that will last well into the toddler years. One tester's parent said that her baby had been sleeping in the cot for 2 babies and was still in good cribs shape to pass it on to her younger.

This cot is also small and compact, making it easy to set up and move around. It's an ideal fit for parents with smaller spaces and can be used as a travel cot too. It was easy to put together and the testers loved the storage drawer that held everything your baby needs. It's not cheap but it's an excellent purchase due to its design and the functionality. You'll need to buy an additional mattress for this crib. We recommend choosing a firm, breathable and well-fitting mattress to prevent your child from suffocating. It should be a few inches smaller than the cot frame to ensure that your child is not able to climb out.

5. SnuzFino Bedside Cot

The SnuzFino is among the more stylish cots on our list, but it's not all about looks. With two mattress height settings this cot will carry your baby through their first 18 months. It can be converted into a toddler bed by adding an (available separately) toddler kit. The design is elegant and timeless and our testers thought it would fit any nursery. Particularly if you opt for the matching changing table and wardrobe.

No matter which cot is chosen, make sure it is in line with the rules that apply to your baby's age and your home. The bars' spacing should not be more than 6.5cm (two inches) which will prevent infants from snagging their heads. Also, the surface should not be rough to avoid being suffocated. Also, you'll need to purchase the right cot mattress which must be a perfect fit with no gaps around the edges and be made from breathable materials to keep your baby's temperature in check.

It's tempting, but you should carefully consider your budget and lifestyle prior to buying a cot that comes with additional features such as built-in storage, as well as side panels that can be removed from the bassinet (as the Mamas&Papas Lua Cot). The best cots allow your baby to sleep comfortably and in a safe environment. There are all-in one mini cot beds beds with plenty of storage that don't cost a fortune.

If you're looking for a cutting-edge alternative for your baby, the SNOO Smart Sleeper cot has an inbuilt sensor that responds to your baby's crying and gently rocks them to sleep in a motion that mimics their mother's womb. The price is expensive, but it could be worth it for fussy sleepers.
