When you’re choosing nursery furniture, you want pieces that feel timeless and last beyond the baby stage. That’s exactly what a cot bed offers, beautiful design with lasting practicality.
A bed that grows with your child
Unlike a standard cot, a cot bed adapts as your little one grows. What starts as a cosy, secure cot for those early months can later be transformed into a toddler bed, giving your family years of use from a single piece of furniture.
Why parents love cot beds
-
Longer lifespan – Designed to last from newborn through to the toddler years, often up to around age four.
-
Familiar and reassuring – Your child stays in the bed they know, making the move from cot to toddler bed feel calm and natural.
-
Cost-effective & sustainable – One bed that evolves with your child means less waste and fewer purchases.
-
Consistent style – Keep your nursery looking beautifully coordinated without switching styles halfway through.
When to make the switch
Most families convert their cot bed when their toddler starts showing signs of independence, usually between 18 months and 2 years. Look out for climbing attempts, restlessness, or curiosity about getting in and out by themselves.
