Choosing a cot or crib in the UK
Check the manufacturer’s recommended age, weight and usage limits. Measure the available space and make sure the mattress is the correct size for the exact cot or crib model. For safer sleep, use a firm, flat mattress and keep pillows, cot bumpers and loose bedding out of your baby’s sleep space.
What to check before buying
- Compare cot dimensions and mattress compatibility.
- Check adjustable base heights and when they must be lowered.
- Look for clear assembly instructions and a secure, undamaged frame.

Frequently asked questions
When can my baby sleep in a cot?
A suitable cot can be used from birth if the manufacturer says it is suitable for newborns. Follow safer-sleep guidance and use the correct firm, flat mattress.
Does any cot mattress fit any cot?
No. Use the exact mattress dimensions and maximum thickness specified for your cot or crib. Gaps or an unsuitable mattress can be unsafe.
Should I use cot bumpers or pillows?
No. UK safer-sleep guidance recommends a clear sleep space without pillows, cot bumpers, soft toys or loose bedding.
