How are our cots tested?All our cots undergo several different tests to ensure they are safe to use. First, they are inspected for any protruding parts, loose parts or fittings, and sharp edges. Then, all gaps and openings between spindles and the slats in the cot base are measured. The cot is tested with impact and pressure tests for strength, stability and durability and to ensure that the spindles will not twist or rotate from their position and create potentially hazardous openings. The cot base is also tested. For example, in a test for the European market, we subject the cot base to impact from a 10 kg weight that is dropped 1,000 times from five different positions.The same or similar tests are made on cot bases for cots on all markets where we are active, but the tests may differ somewhat, depending on the specific requirements of the respective country

Identify individual needsBoth you and your baby will sleep better if you use a cot for the baby. A cot is an enclosed, yet well-ventilated, sleeping environment that your baby cannot roll out of and will not get too warm or uncomfortable in. Most infants sleep deeply and are not easily disturbed by noise, voices or music. However, they do not sleep for long periods at a time and wake up frequently. The enclosed sleeping environment of a cot helps your baby feel sheltered and protected.In our selection you can find cots with a traditional touch or cots with modern shapes. Choose according to your style so it fits with your home.

Designed to grow with your babyDifferent living situations require different solutions – but all babies grow fast. That’s why most of our cots are designed so that one side can be removed when the baby is big enough to climb into/out of the cot, transforming it into a bed.

 

1. When the baby is very small the base can be placed at the higher position. 

2. As soon as the baby starts to sit by themselves, place the base at the lower position.

3. When the child is big enough to climb into the bed, one cot side can be removed.

How to choose a cot mattress

 

1. Choose your materialsChoose between spring or foam. All materials are safe and hygienic. If you are unsure ask yourself: what type of mattress do you prefer to sleep on?Spring mattresses: The spring mattresses are made with a pocket spring construction. The construction of spring cot mattresses allows air to flow freely, promoting good air circulation and a favourable sleeping climate. A protective f box adds comfort and durability.Foam mattresses: The foam mattresses use quality polyurethane or high resilience foam, which are well cut, durable and intended for sleeping therefore making both a safe choice for cot mattresses. High resilience foam is durable, relieves pressure points, and provides comfort and support for your growing baby.
2. Identify individual needsHow many years do you think you will use your cot mattress? The longer you plan on keeping the same mattress will affect which mattress you should choose. If you want to use the same mattress into the toddler years a thicker and more durable mattress will provide better support for older babies and toddlers, who like to stand and bounce in their cots.
