A cot bed is a type of bed designed for young children, typically transitioning from a cot to a larger bed. It usually features adjustable mattress heights, allowing parents to lower the mattress as the child grows. Cot beds are often made from sturdy materials to ensure safety and durability. These beds usually accommodate a standard mattress size, making it easy to find suitable bedding. Many cot beds also come with removable side rails, providing security for toddlers while allowing them to climb in and out independently. They are a popular choice for parents looking for a long-lasting sleeping solution for their children.
