What's Holding Back The Cot Bed Dark Wood Industry
Dark Wood Beds
Dark wood beds look elegant and sleek and can fit into many different styles of decor. Mahogany has a striking appearance and walnut and oak are more rustic and lighter options.
This Scandi style cot bed has three mattress base heights. It can be converted into a bed for toddlers by removing one side. Our panel was simple to assemble, and it feels sturdy enough to last throughout childhood.
From your birth, you are a suitable candidate
There are a lot of fantastic cribs available and it's worth to think about which one would be best for your nursery. This will help you to narrow down the options and select a cot that will expand with your child, converting into an adult bed when the time arrives. It is also worth considering whether to purchase a cot as part of a furniture set since this usually allows you to get discounted prices.
One of the most popular cots available is the Mamas & Papas coxley. It has a gorgeous design and is exquisitely made. It is also easy to set up and includes mattresses that are a standard size (something we look for in every cot). However, it does come at the more expensive end of the spectrum, but there are cheaper cots available on the market that are as solid and well-made.
Snuz sleepi V3 is a different option. It comes in three Scandi-inspired colors, including natural wood. It also has four mattress levels when it's in cot mode. This is an upgrade from the three most cots have. It's easy to set up and comes with plenty of storage and practical hanging rails both sides. It can be transformed into a toddler bed by removing a tiny section of the side panels which is easy and safe to do.
You can give a personal touch to your cot bed by using stencils featuring patterns from Miss Pompadour. These stencils are an excellent option to make your child's crib feel like a real bedroom.
Converts to a junior bed
Cot beds are a fantastic investment for your baby. They are designed to be used from birth until toddlerhood, and can be converted into a junior bed. They are available in a standard 60x120 size and are available with or without bars. They can also be purchased in different finishes like sheesham wood and ply wood, or mango wood. Mahogany has a regal feel, walnut is warm and smooth while sheesham is able to withstand lots of usage. Teak wood can also be used for bed cots because it is durable and able to support a lot of weight.
Easy to assemble
Assembling the wooden cot bed doesn't take long, especially if your are used to building flatpack furniture. The majority of cot beds come with an Allen key and simple instructions. Some even come with a mattress and other extras included in the price. Some cots can be converted into toddler beds, which can be beneficial if you intend to have more than one child. You can choose a cot made from wood that is natural or a modern style. This is generally more expensive, but it is sleeker and comes in a range of colors.
The durability and aesthetics of your cot will depend on the wood you choose. Fortunately, most dark hardwoods are naturally strong and dense, which means they are less prone to damage and warping than lighter woods. Some popular options include mahogany or walnut, as well oak. Mahogany is a great option if you're looking to achieve an elegant and luxurious look and walnut comes with beautiful different textures and colors. Oak is a strong and durable material that is often used in high-end furniture.
No matter how many changes are planned, a good crib will also be easy to clean. It can also blend into the decor of your nursery. Most cots are also relatively lightweight and compact, making them easy to move around. This is great if you plan to move or need to make room for additional baby equipment.
Our pick for the best crib bed is the Mamas & Papas Coxley, that has a chic modern, neutral look and a simple design that will not look outdated in the years to follow. It also has three different heights of base that allow for a comfortable night's sleep, and teething rails and a handy drawer. We like that the mattress is a standard size, too which makes the process of buying bedding a lot easier.
If you prefer a Scandi style and style, then the Thuma Sleepi V3 would be a great choice. It was a hit with former Strategist writer Leah Muncy, who "despises assembly furniture so much that she once thought of the possibility of putting off a move to avoid the dismantling and reassembling of a 14-piece metal bed frame." The cot is lightweight, despite its solid and veneered American white oak construction. It has a low profile design that makes it easy for your child to reach. It took Muncy only about 20 minutes to put together, and the pieces fit easily and seamlessly.
Easy to clean
Dark woods like oak and mahogany are excellent selections for beds. They are durable and hardwearing and can withstand a lot of wear and tear. They look stunning with or without a finish and last for a long time.
Wood beds are available in a range of designs, from sleek sleighs that swoop to modern platforms, simple panel beds to luxurious classics with four-posters. Wood beds are also simpler to clean than those with upholstery and a quick swipe of a dust cloth now and then will keep them looking pristine.
Painted wood beds are a great addition to decor chameleons because they can be easily painted with the most current shade. With natural wood cot bed and work, you can transform an old white painted bed from your shabby-chic phase into a stunning high-gloss red bed.
