A good cot is one that will last until your child reaches four years old, but some come with 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 since they are less expensive than buying a new mattress and cot later on.

However, it's a little more expensive than some of the other options on our list and will require a standard sized mattress (which you'll need to buy separately). It's worth checking out, though, because we think it's worth the cost for a durable design that looks incredibly sturdy.

The sleigh-style style is attractive and will make your child the centre of attention in any room! The extras, like an adorable drawer and rails for teething, will also help you avoid the expense of buying separate furniture pieces when you're on a strict budget.

The La Redoute Willox

This cot bed is a absolute luxurious. It is constructed of solid birch and plywood slats and is built to last. It has an ethereal French feel.

Our testers thought it was easy to put together, and also that it looked most luxurious in our roundup. It's costly, especially since you have to buy the mattress separately. If you're on budget there are alternatives that are less expensive available.
