Izziwotnot’s Bailey Sleigh cot-bed isn't cheap but it's elegant and well-made. It's simple to put together, though it requires two people, and it looks lovely in any nursery.

The depth is not so great that your child can climb out, and the distance between slats must not exceed 65mm. This should stop their heads from getting trapped. It's important to keep in mind that you will need to buy a mattress separately that is an additional PS88.
