Do I need a nursery furniture set?
Short answer: It depends on your plans. A nursery furniture set is matching furniture, typically a cot or cot bed with a wardrobe and/or chest of drawers, used from birth, with the cot bed and storage carrying on into childhood.
Think about your space, budget and how long you will use it.
- Measure the room and plan where each piece goes before ordering.
- Check what is in the set (cot, cot bed, dresser, wardrobe) and the mattress size the cot takes.
What the guidance says
- Place the cot away from radiators, direct sunlight and blind cords.
