A good night's sleep is important, whether you're camping or visiting family. Consider investing in one of our best cot bed (conversational tone) crib beds, so that your little one is snug and safe (hopefully) sleeping easily.

This cot bed is an excellent design. It has a sleek and minimalist appearance and the frame is simple to put together. It can also be transformed into a chic toddler's bed.

The Mamas and Papas Coxley

Our overall winner The Coxley is brimming with features that reflect an exquisitely hand-crafted look. It comes with three adjustable cot base heights, and can be converted into a toddler bed so it will last your child through the first four years. It also has two teething rails which can soothe gums and keep them from chewing the sides of the cot.

The Coxley is available as the complete nursery set which includes a chic cotbed, multipurpose dresser/change unit and double wardrobe. The dresser/change unit comes with an easily removable changing top that transforms it from a handy baby changing station to an elegant dresser that could be filled with all of your baby's favourite toys and treasures. The drawers are completely customizable and you can tailor the style of your nursery.

A good cot should be able to last until your child reaches four years old. However certain models offer the possibility of purchasing expansion packs that extend their use to five or even 10 years. It's worth keeping an eye out for these since they can be cheaper than buying a brand new cot and mattress later on.

The Coxley is a fantastic choice for cot beds. It's simple to put together and is well-made. It looks fantastic in any nursery. It is more expensive than other options and requires a standard-sized mattress which you'll have to buy separately. It's still worth checking this out, though, because we believe it's worth the money for a long-lasting design that looks extremely sturdy.

This cot was rated as the most effective by our testers for its design, ease of assembly and the Allen key that is included. She also praised its sturdy construction and luxurious feel as it felt like a "real piece of investment" and also an elegant addition to any baby's nursery.

It's more expensive than other cribs we've seen, but the quality and durability make it worth the extra cost. The sleigh-style design is attractive and will make your child the centre of attention in any room! The extras, like an adorable drawer and teething rails, will also save you the expense of buying separate furniture pieces when you're on a strict budget. However, we would recommend buying an oval mattress than the standard size of a UK-sized one to avoid stretching the slats too much and potentially creating discomfort for your baby. Aside from this, our tester didn't have any issues with this cot and said it was a great buy.

The La Redoute Willox

This cot bed is a absolute luxurious. With solid lumber slats made of birch and plywood, it's designed to last and has a classic French look. It also complies with French safety standards and you can rest assured that your child will be in safe hands. We like the off-white finish but it's also available in a stunning grey-green color.

Our testers thought it was easy to put together and that it appeared to be the most luxurious in our roundup. However, it is expensive - especially as you need to buy an additional mattress - and when you're on a tight budget, there are better alternatives there.

The Great Little Trading Company Little Wren Cotbed

This crib bed is a fantastic choice if you are looking for additional features. It comes with a handy under-bed storage space and teething rails. You can also adjust the height of the base with three different settings so your child won't be forced to climb out when they're older.

The only drawback to this cot is that you will need to purchase a mattress separately which can make the cost rise even more than other models in our review. Its stunning design as well as its ease of assembly and capacity to grow with your baby are all appealing though which makes it a worthy purchase. Our testers thought this cot would make a lovely addition to any nursery.

The John Lewis Elementary

The John Lewis Elementary is a great option for parents wanting a stylish modern frame that can stand the test of time. It's a bit more expensive than some of the other options we've seen, but it includes a matching changing table and wardrobe, making it possible to furnish your nursery in one go. It's also easy to assemble, and has three mattress height positions for your baby to grow into. It has teething rails, and a drawer that slides neatly underneath so you don't lose valuable floor space.

It's worth noting that you'll have to purchase a separate mattress for this crib bed, so make sure you budget accordingly. You can get a good mattress of good quality for less than PS100, so it's not an excessive expense. It may be difficult to find a mattress that is suitable for the oval shape of the cot however, there are many kinds that can be used.

Many parents choose cot beds for their children as they are inexpensive and provide a comfortable sleeping space. They're usually suitable from the moment your child is born until he is four years old, although some can be converted into toddler beds by the purchase of an extension kit. You can find some of them in our list of options if you're looking for a cot that lasts longer.
