Wooden baby cot: what is it?

Are you looking for both a stylish and sustainable piece of furniture for the baby's room? The wooden baby cot is the solution that will best meet your expectations. Warm, sturdy and durable over time, wood is a noble material perfect for a child's room. Moreover, there are countless possibilities today to find the solid wood baby cot that suits you. Prepare for baby's arrival properly by choosing furniture that you like and that will be able to accommodate them safely.

What is a wooden baby cot?

The wooden baby cot is the baby bed found in the vast majority of young children's rooms. It's a baby bed, specifically a slatted bed made of wood. Wood is a material perfectly suited for furniture making in general, and it's actually the most commonly found material in the furniture industry. It therefore has its rightful place in children's furniture manufacturing, particularly for creating baby beds.

It can take on different appearances depending on the type of furniture, the chosen wood species, and how it has been worked. Indeed, wood can be easily transformed by being painted, varnished, stained, etc. This is one of the reasons why it's so appreciated in interior design: it can easily take on different colours, textures and finishes.

What are the different types of wooden baby cots?

Regarding the different types of wooden baby cots, parents will have plenty of choice as there are various possibilities:

The classic wooden baby cot

As for the classic slatted baby cot, some models offer adjustable height settings or the ability to lower one side to place baby more easily.

The convertible wooden baby cot

Convertible models are most often slatted beds that you can transform into children's beds. They thus allow you to opt for a two-in-one piece of furniture, which is more economical and allows you to choose more sustainable furniture over time.

The combination baby cot

This wooden baby cot combines both a slatted bed with other furniture such as a changing table, storage... It's therefore an all-in-one piece of furniture that can also be convertible. It's often chosen for small rooms as it helps optimize space.

The twin baby cot

Among the different wooden baby cots available on the market, we can also mention the twin baby cot, which is, as its name suggests, a piece of furniture designed to accommodate two babies.

If you decide to opt for a wooden baby cot, you'll have a multitude of possibilities to choose the format that best suits you.

Why choose this type of baby cot?

Wood is a noble material perfectly suitable for a child's room. Indeed, a wooden baby cot will benefit from all the advantages of choosing wooden furniture, namely:

  • A pleasant, soft and warm finish
  • A durable piece of furniture
  • A sturdy wooden baby cot despite daily use
  • A healthy element

What criteria should you consider when choosing your wooden baby cot?

To choose the right wooden baby cot, several criteria should be considered. First, we recommend prioritizing PEFC or FSC certified wood. This label ensures that the wood used in making your baby cot comes from sustainably managed forests. It's a more eco-responsible choice.

You can also favour the use of ecological wood panels or water-based paint. These materials help limit the presence of volatile organic compounds in the air and thus preserve your baby's well-being.

Finally, to ensure you're choosing a high-quality wooden baby cot, prefer Made in France, and ideally furniture created by a specialist company in children's room furniture manufacturing. Your furniture will be better designed, better finished, and more pleasant to use.

What about vintage furniture?

Given the many expenses necessary when preparing for a child's arrival, one might be tempted by buying vintage furniture. While opting for second-hand items is perfectly fine for a toy chest or storage furniture, it's preferable to choose new for your wooden baby cot. Indeed, baby cots are manufactured according to certain European standards that ensure your child's safety.

Choosing vintage means risking non-compliance with these standards in the furniture's design. However, you can certainly opt for a new wooden baby cot with a vintage look, like our VINTAGE oak baby cot.

What other furniture should be installed in the baby's room?

If you want to opt for an entirely wooden baby room, there are many other pieces of furniture you can choose in this material. This is particularly the case for the chest of drawers, changing table or changing unit, wardrobe, or toy box. You can then create both a stylish and sustainable environment for your child.
