Should I buy a nursery furniture set?
Short answer: A set makes matching easy and usually includes a cot or cot bed plus storage. Check the room size and the mattress size the cot takes.
Here is the detail behind that answer, taken from current UK guidance from the NHS and the Lullaby Trust.
Things to check
- 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.
- Wall-anchor wardrobes and drawers as the instructions say.
What the guidance says
- Place the cot away from radiators, direct sunlight and blind cords.
