BABY SLEEP

Cots, mattresses and accessories

Safety and comfort for your little one

It’s wonderful to be a new parent but it can also be rather worrying. That’s why our cots are rigorously tested to ensure they meet the strictest safety standards that exist in the world. Our cots are durable and stable, and they adjust to fit babies as they grow so quickly. So you can sleep like a baby, too.

For sweet dreams and safe sleeping

No parent should have to choose between affordability and their little one’s safety and comfort. That’s why we designed our cot mattress range. Every single one of our firm, well-ventilated cot mattresses meet strict safety standards. So it’s not only your little one who will be resting well at night.

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.

How to choose a cot

Identify individual needs

Both 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 baby

Different 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.
