Wooden baby cot with Storage

About the wooden baby cot

The wooden baby cot is built from wood with a fine finish, so the rails are smooth against a small hand. It measures 4 feet by 2 feet, which fits a standard cot mattress.

A spacious shelf sits underneath. That space takes nappies, sheets and a spare blanket, so the things you reach for at night stay within arm’s reach.

Where the wooden baby cot suits

It suits a nursery and a bedroom where the cot stands beside the parents’ bed. If the room is small, the shelf means you do not need a separate changing table for storage.

Because the cot is solid wood, it holds a sleeping child without flexing. So the mattress stays flat, which is what a baby needs for safe sleep.

Setting up the cot

Assemble the cot on a level floor and check every bolt before the first night. Then place it away from a window, a radiator and any cable. If you use a bumper, fix it tightly so a baby cannot pull it loose.

Care and upkeep

Then wipe the rails with a damp cloth and dry them straight away. Because teeth and small hands find the top rail, check it each month for splinters. Also tighten the bolts every few months, since a cot takes knocks as a child grows.

Delivery and warranty

Orders go out from Vitafoam showrooms and distributors nationwide. We confirm your delivery window at checkout, and the box paperwork states the warranty that applies.

The storage wooden bed takes over when the cot is outgrown, and the Vita Dove pillow suits the first bed that follows. The baby furniture range lists the rest. World Sleep Day publishes free guidance on safe infant sleep at worldsleepday.org.

Also check the shelf fixings each month once a child can pull up on them, because a loaded shelf takes weight from below. If a screw loosens, tighten it before the next nap.
