Converting your CuddleCo cot bed into a day bed is an exciting milestone - one that marks your child’s growing independence and your next step in creating a versatile nursery space.
Before you begin
-
Check your cot bed is in good condition with no missing parts.
-
Use the correct mattress size (usually 140 × 70 cm for CuddleCo cot beds).
-
Ask a second person to help - it’s always easier with two.
Step-by-step conversion guide
-
Adjust the base – Set it to the lowest position for safety.
-
Clear the cot bed – Remove all bedding and the mattress.
-
Remove one side panel – This creates the open day bed design.
-
Add the toddler conversion rail (if supplied) – Provides extra rigidity and support.
-
Re-fit the mattress – Ensure it sits snugly with no gaps.
-
Tighten and check – Go over each fitting to confirm stability.
Safety first
-
Keep the bed away from windows, heaters, blinds, and cords.
-
Regularly check and tighten all bolts and screws.
Helping your toddler adjust
The move to a day bed can feel exciting or a little uncertain. Keep familiar bedding, introduce a favourite soft toy, and maintain your bedtime routine to help your little one settle in confidently.
With thoughtful preparation, converting your cot bed into a day bed is a simple way to create a safe, comfortable, and stylish toddler space that still feels like home.
