VelvetCot Beds
Cot beds are a popular choice for new parents due to their versatility and longevity. These multifunctional beds are designed in various colours and styles to provide your baby with comfort and safety during sleep, from infancy through to toddlerhood.
Typically, cot beds in Ireland begin as a safe sleeping space for a newborn and can later be converted into a toddler bed as your child grows. This extended usability makes cot beds a cost-effective and practical solution for any nursery.
The advantage of our cot beds is that they can be adapted to the changing needs of your growing child. Most of them feature adjustable mattress heights, removable side rails and the option to convert into a toddler bed.
This flexibility ensures that there’s always a safe and comfortable place for your little one to sleep, from the early months through to the preschool years.

Types of Baby Beds
When it comes to choosing a baby bed, parents have several options to consider. Understanding the differences between these types can help in making an informed decision that best suits the family's needs.
From compact bedside cribs to versatile little beds, each option offers distinct benefits. Your choice of bed will depend on various factors, including your baby’s age, the size of the nursery, and your lifestyle. Bedside cribs are perfect for the early months, providing much-needed closeness.
Cot beds offer a bit more space and are ideal for infants, while providing the most extended use, making them a popular choice for long-term planning.
- Bedside Cribs
Bedside cribs are the smallest type of baby bed, ideal for newborns up to about six months old. These cribs are designed to be placed next to the parents' bed, allowing for easy access during nighttime feedings and comforting. Certain models may come with adjustable heights and side panels that can be lowered, making it easier to tend to the baby without getting out of bed. - Baby Cots
Baby cots are a small to medium-sized option that provides more space than bedside cribs. Suitable for babies from birth up to around two years old, baby cots are designed to be sturdy and safe. They often feature adjustable mattress heights to accommodate the growing child and can be placed in the nursery or parents' bedroom. Baby cots offer a good balance between size and usability for the early stages of a child's life. - Cot Beds for Babies and Toddlers
Cot beds are the most versatile and biggest option among baby beds. Designed to last from birth up to about four years old, they can be converted from a baby cot into a toddler bed. This conversion typically involves removing the side rails and lowering the mattress height. These baby beds offer the longest usage time, making them a cost-effective investment for parents. They also provide the added benefit of being a familiar sleeping space for the child as they grow.
Choosing a Cot Bed
Choosing the right cot bed involves considering several factors to ensure safety, comfort, and longevity.
Firstly, check that it has all relevant features that you want, like teething rails and adjustable mattress heights. The size of the cot should fit well in your nursery space, while still allowing enough room for the baby to move and grow. It is also important to think about the style and design to match your nursery decor.
Look for convertible features that allow it to transform into a toddler bed, providing extended use.
Finally, consider your budget and choose the cot bed that offers the best value for money, while meeting your requirements.
