The Mamas and Papas Coxley

Our overall winner The Coxley is brimming with features that reflect an exquisitely hand-crafted look. It comes with three adjustable cot bases and can be converted into an infant's bed.

A good cot should be able to last until your child reaches 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 are less expensive than purchasing a whole new cot and mattress later on.

The Coxley is a great option for cot beds. It's easy to put together, well-made and looks great in any nursery. However, it is a little more expensive than some of the other options we've listed and will require a standard sized mattress (which you'll have to purchase separately). This is still worth looking at, however, as it looks like it's a sturdy and long-lasting design.
