Moses Baskets and Cribs

Sleep is a precious commodity once baby has arrived, and choosing the right bed is oh so important. Chances are, your little bundle will kip in your bedroom for the first few months, so choose something that will work in your own bedroom as well as in the nursery.

Moses baskets and cribs are great for those early months; they’ll enable you to move your sleeping tot from room to room with minimal disturbance. Take for example the amazingly versatile Snuzpod, this revolutionary crib can affix to a parental bed as well as double up as a stand along crib and rocker. The Snuzpod is the ultimate ‘closer-to-baby’ sleep solution.

Brilliant Cots and Cot Beds

Once your baby becomes a little too big for their basket, the next step up is a cot/cotbed. You might want a cot with a lowering side, or think long term with a cot that can also double up as a toddler bed. In any case, choose a bed that is well-made and complements your décor.

With an adjustable base, the Baby & Toddler Luxury Cot Bed is suitable for babies and toddlers; the side can be lowered for easy access to your little one. We also adore the Oliver Furniture Wood Mini+. This ingenious 4-in-1 Cot Bed is suitable from birth to 9 years old. Thanks to an optional conversion kit the Wood Mini+ converts from cot bed to junior bed, day bed to a low loft bed. This piece of remarkable furniture is truly a fabulous investment which will see your child through almost a decade of their development.

Magnificent Mattresses

Mattresses matter! A good mattress is just as important as a sturdy bed, and it’s not worth scrimping on quality. We have a great range of cosy cot and toddler bed mattresses to send your little munchkin into the delicious depths of dreamland, or, should you need further support read our kids mattress guide.

The Natural Twist Cot Mattress has a clever double-sided design, which means that when they’re ready, you can move your baby from a firmer newborn mattress to a comfy squishy toddler mattress. We also adore the baby Organic Wool Cot Mattress. As the only mattress in the UK to be certified organic by the Soil Association, it’s a great choice for babies that are prone to allergies or eczema.

Sheets & Mattress Protectors

From cot sheets and mattress protectors to quilts and baby blankets, we’ve got it all covered at Cuckooland. We have a great range of bedding in sumptuously soft organic cotton, such as our Organic Jersey Cot Fitted Sheet.

A mattress protector is essential as it will protect your mattress from those little baby mishaps. The Organic Cot Mattress Protector is not only breathable and super soft – it’s 100% waterproof too!
