The Best Bedside Cot

Designed to sit by your bedside they help you to reach baby at 3 am for feedings at night or changing their nappies. They are also an excellent alternative to a Moses Basket.

Sleeping safely is a recommendation from the Lullaby Trust and NHS recommends babies sleep in a cot, away from your bed to avoid the risk of suffocation or overheating. This cozy option was a favourite among our mum testers. It is a smooth motion that helps calm babies to sleep.

1. Joie Roomie Glide

The Roomie Glide is an innovative bedside cot from English brand Joie that is designed to help you co-sleep comfortably without sharing your bed. It has a smooth single-hand glide that gently soothes baby into dreamland without you having to get off your side of the bed. It also comes with an easy-to-use glide lock that secures it once your little one is asleep. There are safety straps to keep it firmly attached to your bed and retractable wheels that allow you to move it as you wish to.

The softly cushioned sides, double-mesh window and the curved cocoon shape enhance the comfort of your child sleeper. It's also simple to assemble and take apart, making it suitable to travel with and pack away. The cot is easy to wipe clean and comes with a machine washable mattress cover. Additional sheets of cotton are sold in two-packs.

Roanna loved the cotbed and described it as "a quality purchase". She liked that the gliding motion was soft and soothed her to sleep. She thought the design was stylish and would fit with most bedroom decors. However, she did point out that although it's a great choice for babies, once they're six months old, you'll require a bigger cot.

She also appreciated the feature that the side panel sliding can be lifted with just one hand so that it's easy to answer those inevitable wake-up calls to feed or soothe the little children from her own bed. The Roomie Glide also has 11 height settings, so it can be adjusted to fit nearly any size bed. There are clips and straps that can be used to secure it.

2. BassiNest

The HALO Bassinest Swivel Mattress has many advantages, including a side pouch ideal for diapers, nipple cream and all the other essentials you'll need during the newborn stage. It comes with a sturdy base and mattress that can be cleaned easily after spit ups, blowouts, and other mishaps with infants. Additionally, it includes a machine-washable mattress so you can keep it fresh.

This bedside cot rotates 360 degrees so you can be closer to your child's for a secure sleeping. The side walls are patented and lower and automatically return, allowing you to take care of your baby without getting up from your bed. This is crucial for moms who are recovering from C-sections.

Its swivel feature lets you to snooze while your baby sleeps beside you and it also makes it easier to scoop them up for cuddles or feedings in the bed. It features an LED nightlight, three relaxing sounds and two levels vibration to help you stay on your breastfeeding or bottle-feeding routine.

The upgraded version of this cot for bedside use has wood accents to give it an elegant appearance and premium yarn dyed fabric. It also has a floor lamp to help you stay awake at the night without disturbing your baby or partner, and a storage caddy for essentials. Both versions of the HALO Bassinest feature a stable and adjustable base that can fit on beds up to 34" tall. Its side wall can also be locked to ensure safety. It is designed to be used up until your baby shows signs that they are rolling over or has reached 20 pounds. It has been independently tested and certified by JPMA to meet the safety standards of Health Canada and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

3. bedside travel crib -Cosi lora

The sleek bedside bassinet features an elegant design that comes with a variety of modern colors, and wood-effect features. It's a success for sleep. The mesh is breathable, allowing air to flow in and provides you with a great view of your child. The mattress is firm enough to allow for napping during the day and for the night time sleep. It also features a reflux-incline function to reduce reflux and congestion when needed. If you're ready for your baby a room of their own the crib transforms into a stylish standalone with an incredibly comfortable mattress. It can be folded flat and placed in a handy travel bag to take it along on a weekend trip or when your baby stays at Grandma’s.

This co-sleeper has been shortlisted for the 2021 Mother&Baby Award for Best Cot or Crib or Moses Basket. It provides optimum comfort to baby in the beginning stages. It has a comfortable and thick mattress that can be adjusted up to five different heights, and a rocking function for nappers who are fussy. It's also made with EcoCare fabric, Maxi-Cosi's latest premium future-friendly fabric that is soft and supple on your baby's body.

Its slim frame makes it much smaller than other cots for bedside, and it's easy to raise it to the proper bed level using only two levers (although some moms found the bar attaching the legs to be difficult to move up and down). It also glides side to side, which helps you place it closer to your bed for night feeding or to soothe baby to sleep. It also comes with a large storage basket to store all of baby's necessities.


4. Shnuggle Air

Shnuggle is a company that designs products that help parents be more comfortable parents and safer for babies. The company was founded with its first hypoallergenic moses basket with no wicker in 2009. It has won over 50 awards from industry and consumer groups.

The dual-view mesh sides of the crib improve the airflow while allowing you to keep an eagle eye on your baby. Its mattress is also 50 percent more breathable than standard foam mattresses and has been tested to the highest British safety standards. The crib can also be transformed into a bed (kit sold separately) which makes it an ideal sleeping solution for toddlers and newborns. The softly cushioned side panels prevent baby's legs or arms from being caught in cot bars, and the fabrics are removable and hand washable.

This bedside crib can be attached securely to your divan or bed frame, and its swivel wheels mean it's easy to maneuver. This is the only product in this list that has an open, slide-down side. It can be opened for nighttime comforting or for feeding.

This model is distinct from the other bassinets that are featured in this guide. It has soft padding on the sides instead of cot bars. This helps prevent little arms and legs becoming entangled. It's also a good choice for mothers who are breastfeeding or who have had a C-section as it's easy to get baby into and out of the bassinet for nursing and relaxing.

It also has a few extra features that are not found in the majority of cribs on this list including a gentle incline to help with colic and reflux. There's also a storage hammock under the crib, and seven height adjustments. However, our testers for parents did mention that the safety catch on the top bar may sound a loud click when reattached which may wake up your baby. The mattress and fabric can be taken off and cleaned by hand. The crib is simple to put together.

5. Clair de Lune

The third movement in the 1890 Suite bergamasque of Claude Debussy "Clair deLune," (French moonlight) is based on Paul Verlaine's romantic poetry and offers a dreamy feeling of a sunny Italian small town. It is also a fitting fit for Twilight in which Edward Cullen has it on his stereo as he woos Bella and stares at her with that vampire love. It's a melodramatic romance for sure however the music's great.

Mike Mills adapted this piece for his 2009 film C'mon C'mon. In the film, it's not played by a pianist but by the San Francisco Saxophone Quartet.
