Nursery Furniture

Every parent wants the best and safest space for their child. For expectant parents, setting up the room for a new baby is an exciting time, especially if they have beautiful nursery furnishings to choose from.

Most important is the value you get from the three most important items on the nursery list: bed, nappy changing station and wardrobe, all made to be aesthetically pleasing, whatever your nursery décor colour and style choices.

Each piece of furniture should be carefully selected to ensure it meets safety standards and contributes to the overall functionality and aesthetic of the nursery.

As creators of nursery furniture in Ireland, CotBeds is proud to provide quality goods for happier families. As a company that cares, we’re just a click or a phone call away.

Nursery Furniture Ireland

At CotBeds, our focus is on babies and toddlers to ensure your little ones get the best sleep they can in an age-appropriate cot and mattress.

Mams and Dads will enjoy the ease of changing nappies on our changing table, with its height designed for you to stand comfortably and in control, with child-friendly items from Nursery Furniture Ireland.

An essential item for new parents is a wardrobe matched with the cot and changing table for a cohesive look. Our nursery room sets are customisable so you can buy one, two or all three items at once, or purchase as needed. If you are not sure about some of the items, you can always come back and buy them later.

Take a look at what furniture a baby’s nursery requires for practical and safe sleeping arrangements, nappy changing and wardrobe storage that completes the set. Below, we look at questions parents ask about design, safety and practicality around furnishings for babies and toddlers’ rooms.

Things to consider

Pregnancy should be a happy time in your home, so we’ve taken the worry out of quality versus cost by creating top-of-range baby furniture that lasts – and gives you ageless choice and style.

A well-equipped nursery for a baby typically includes several pieces of furniture designed for comfort, style, practicality and safety. Here are the three essential items:

Cot Bed
Cot beds should provide a safe and comfortable sleeping environment for the baby. We offer a variety of designs and finishes to match your nursery décor. Our beds meet the highest safety standards, including slat spacing, sturdy construction and non-toxic finishes. We can optionally supply a mattress to ensure a good sleep for your child.
Changing Table / Dresser
Practical nappy changing requires a changing table, a dedicated space with ample room to change and clean baby, as well as store nappies, wipes and other essentials.
Safety is as important to us as it is to you, and our changing tables allow for easy interaction between parent and child while changing nappies and cleaning the baby. Most of them also come with storage drawers.
Baby Wardrobe
Baby’s wardrobe can be matched with the crib, changing table and other furniture for a cohesive look, in a variety of styles and colours. The wardrobe offers a practical solution for keeping baby clothes, blankets and accessories in one place; and to ensure freshly washed clothing stays clean and out of the way. Safety: Depending on the height of the wardrobe you choose, CotBeds recommends the item be anchored to the wall to prevent tipping.

Baby Room Furniture Tips

Use a mattress that fits snugly. Too small, and the mattress will move inside the cot; too large and it’ll “curl” against the sides of the cot, creating discomfort.
Remove any large toys or items that a toddler can stand on and try to climb out.
If your floor is uneven or cold in winter, place a nice thick rug under the cot for stability and warmth.
Gradual transition strategies, like starting with afternoon sleeps in the cot, can help make the move smoother for the child.

Remember, if your child doesn’t immediately sleep through the night in their cot, new experiences are sometimes difficult for them. Be gentle on them – and yourself.

When ready, CotBeds has options for cots that will convert into toddler beds and accommodate your little one up to about 4 years old.

Benefits of Age-Appropriate Furniture

When your newborn comes home, it’s likely you’ll want him or her close to you – often in your bedroom – and a crib is usually recommended. The baby’s transition from a crib to a cot can occur any time between 18 months and 3 years old.

You know your baby’s best, so always opt for safety before making the transition and speak to a healthcare professional if you’re at all unsure. Timing can vary based on several factors, notably:

Climbing out of the crib
If your child starts trying to climb out of the crib, they most likely need a cot bed to ensure their safety.
Baby height and weight
As your little one grows, they may outgrow the crib both height and weight-wise, and a good quality cot is the answer.
Potty training
Often, parents choose to transition to a cot during or after potty training to make it easier for the toddler to access the bathroom. Again, you know what’s best for your child and family, so base your decisions on needs and safety.
Readiness for baby furniture
Your child’s readiness and comfort with the transition are important. Signs of readiness might include showing interest in a “big kid” bed; showing discomfort in the crib; or sleeping well in their cot right away.
