Izziwotnot Bailey Sleigh Cot Bed as a Cot

Cot beds are basically cots which convert into a junior bed – that is a toddler sized bed – after your baby has outgrown the cot. A junior bed is smaller than an adult bed. As a general guide, a cot bed will probably last until your child is about 3-4 years old, depending on their size.

We think that a cot bed is a useful way to bridge the gap between a cot and an adult bed. You don’t have to worry about your child’s sleeping arrangements until they are almost school age. A cot bed is usually only a little more expensive than a cot so a cot bed can be a money saving option too as you won’t need to buy a separate junior bed.

One thing to remember though is that you need to buy cot bed bedding and not bedding designed for a cot. A cot bed is larger than a standard sized cot so cot bed bedding, including cot bed duvets and cot bed sheets, take this into account and are made larger to fit properly.
