Sleep Time

Our range of cots, cot beds, cribs and baskets will provide a safe and comfortable place for your baby to get a perfect night’s sleep. Available in a range of designs, sizes and colours to suit all nursery room sizes and decor styles.

Sleep Solutions: The Difference Between a Cot and a Cot Bed.

A cot is generally smaller, with a 100 x 50cm mattress base. They are great for smaller nursery rooms or for sharing rooms with parents. Your toddler will probably have outgrown the mattress size by 2 years old.

A cot bed has a larger mattress base so will last your child until they are older, up to 5 years old. You can transform the cot to a toddler bed by removing the sides. Cot beds therefore offer a cost effective solution. Our cot beds come in 2 base sizes to suit your room size, either 120×60 cm or 140×70 cm.

Sleep Solutions: The Difference Between a Crib and a Basket.

Trio of baby sleep solutions. Wicker basket with forest green organic dressing, folding wooden-framed crib with white organic cotton fabric, and air motion gliding crib in slate grey fabric with natural wood stand.

Cribs and Baskets offer a compact sleeping solution for your newborn until they are around 4-6 months old (or until they can pull themselves up). They are ideal for bedside and are portable so can be moved to other rooms, such as the lounge, during the daytime.

Baskets are usually made from wicker or palm and can be used alone or with a stand. Cribs usually have a textile (fabric) sleeping area attached to a frame. Although it cannot be removed from the frame, the whole crib is still lightweight enough to be moved from room to room. Do not move your basket or crib whilst your baby is inside.

Safety Information

  • Lie your baby on their back.
  • Keep their cot clear.
  • Use a firm, flat, waterproof mattress.
  • Keep baby smoke-free.
  • Avoid your baby getting too hot.
  • Sleep your baby in the same room as you for at least the first six months.
