However, some cots have curved corners or other features that could create problems with the size of a mattress, so it is important to double-check your cot's footprint before you buy.
There are many stores on the high street where you can browse the wide selection of cots. Some include Dunelm and Ikea. A lot of them also offer a return policy, so you can return any cot that isn't what you want. It's also worth shopping online, since you can get a better idea of the dimensions of each cot and how it will look in your nursery.

If you're purchasing a used cot, be sure to determine the age of it. Lead paint can be poisonous for infants. Look for indications of wear and tear, particularly on the sides where a child might rub their hands, since this could cause irritation to the skin. Be sure to look for any stickers or transfers that could fall off, creating a choking risk to your child.
Some cots are equipped with additional features, such as teething rails and storage drawers.

Many cots and beds are available in different colours and designs to match the furniture and interiors of your nursery that you select for your baby's bedroom.
