Cot beds are made to last longer than standard cots, ensuring your child with the bed they require from birth until the age of toddlers. This is why cots are better than cribs. They're also a more cost-effective option because you don't have to buy a brand new bed for your child after they grow out of it.

It's simple to put together and looks lovely in any nursery. However, you will need to use a fitted sheet that fits the cot bed, not a cot because the gaps between the bars are quite wide.
