A good quality cot should last until your child is about four years old, but certain models offer the option of purchasing expansion packs that extend their use to five or even 10 years. It's worth keeping an eye out for these because they may be less expensive than buying a brand new mattress and cot later.

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, however, somewhat more expensive than the other options we've listed and will require a standard mattress (which you'll have to purchase separately).
