Product Reviews

Izziwotnot's Bailey Sleigh cot-bed isn't cheap however it's stylish and well made. It's simple to put together, though it does take two people. It also looks lovely in any nursery.

It also meets British safety standards - the depth isn't that deep that your baby can climb out and the distance between the slats should not be more than 65mm. This will prevent their head from getting trapped. You'll also have to buy a mattress, which costs an additional PS88.


This cot stands out due to of its sleigh-shaped design. It's also very simple to put your baby inside and out of, which is a big benefit. It's slightly more expensive than some other cot beds, but our panel thought it was worth the extra cash for the look and durability.

The cot bed is available in country pine or walnut finishes. It is suitable from the moment of birth. It has three mattress heights so that you can start off 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 has teething rails that protect your child's furniture and gums. When your child has grown out of their cot bed, you can easily transform it into a junior mattress, and then a couch.

Silver Cross' westport design is another cot with a solid feel and is constructed to last. It can be used as a cot right from birth, then as a toddler bed, and then into a junior bed (toddler guard rail available separately). It was a bit difficult for our panel to turn the cot into a bed however, their other half reported that it was simple and took less than 5 minutes. It's also a bit more expensive than other cots, however it's the kind of style that you'd probably want to keep and use for your children as they grow older.
