Cot beds are a great investment for your child. They are designed to last from the time your child is born until the time he is a toddler and can later be transformed into an adult bed. They are available in a standard size 60x120 and without or with bars. They can also be bought in various finishes, such as sheesham wood and ply wood, or mango wood. Mahogany evokes regal feelings and walnut provides warmth and texture, while sheesham is durable enough to stand up to many years of wear and tear. Teak wood can also be used for bed cots because it is durable and able to be able to withstand heavy loads.

The durability and appearance of your cot will depend on the wood you select. Fortunately, the majority of dark hardwoods are naturally strong and dense, meaning they're more resistant to warping and damage than lighter woods. A few of the most popular choices are mahogany or walnut, as well oak. Mahogany offers a rich elegant and luxurious look, while walnut has beautiful textures and colours. Oak is a strong and durable material that is commonly used in furniture that is of the highest quality.
A good cot is easy to clean and will fit into your nursery's existing design, no matter how many changes you plan to make. Most cots are able to be moved around as they're light and compact.

We like that the mattress is standard size, too making shopping for bedding a lot easier.
If wooden cot beds looking for a more Scandi-style look The Thuma Sleepi V3 is a best option. It was a huge hit with former Strategist writer Leah Muncy, who "despises assembly furniture so much that she was once contemplating calling off a move just to avoid disassembling and reassembling a 14-piece metal bed frame." This crib is light despite its solid and veneered American white oak construction. It features a low-profile design, making it easy for your child to reach. The pieces were simple to put together and fit seamlessly. It took Muncy about 20 minutes.
