Baby cot sizes

Baby beds basically come in two different sizes. Once in the so-called small version with the mattress size 60 x 120 cm and once in the large version with the mattress size 70 x 140 cm.

Both sizes have advantages and disadvantages. The small bed provides more security and protection because your baby would get pretty lost in a big bed. The big bed lasts longer, of course, and in most cases can be converted into a junior bed. In this case, however, you could alternatively bridge the first time with a bassinet and/or a cradle. 

Another decision criterion for the purchase of baby beds is the presence of so-called slip bars. These are removable bars that allow your baby to get in and out of the bed on its own. baby beds usually do not have a slatted frame but a stable board with ventilation holes. In the first years of life, a slatted frame is not yet quite as important. 

Other way is with the right mattress. Keep in mind that your baby will have an above-average closeness to baby mattresses in the first years of life. Here you should pay attention to quality and freedom from harmful substances.

Since the topic is very diverse, we have set up a separate section for nursery in our kinder räume magazine. In the nursery magazine you will find numerous tips on furnishing and designing baby rooms, as well as shopping guides - also for baby beds.
