Comfort

There are many types of mattresses available: foam, coils springs, and natural materials for allergy-sufferers. Do your research to determine the most suitable one for your child.

It doesn't matter if you pick a conventional cot or a convertible cot, a good mattress is essential to ease of use. It should provide proper support and encourage an upright posture. The same is true for the slats, which must be firmly attached and not bent or sagging. The slats must be securely fixed to the frame, so that your child doesn't get stuck in them while they move in their sleep.

Ask your family and friends for recommendations or look at online reviews. Make sure you choose a mattress that's air-conditioned, as they'll help to regulate temperature and are less likely to harbour bacteria.

Safety

A safe sleeping environment is an essential consideration when choosing a crib. Make sure the mattress is snug and has no gap between it and the cot/cot beds edges or sides (big gaps can keep your child's head from being caught in the arms). Check that the mattress is not too firm and thin. Mattresses that are too thick can increase the risk of SIDS. Many companies offer mattresses in different materials, from foam to natural materials that are great for allergy sufferers. Some even have an anti-microbial treatment. If your cot has a drop-side, make sure it is secured and in the up position.

Drop sides should only be allowed to go to fall when an adult is present in the room. This prevents accidental releases. If your coffin has a solid bottom be sure to avoid placing it against the wall as it can block airflow and may contribute to the death of a coffin. The latest research suggests that slatted edges could be safer as they allow more airflow.

If your crib has a fixed edge you should choose this because it's safer when your child begins to crawl and pull themselves up. When your child is confidently climbing and standing, it's time to upgrade to a junior bed.
