Nursery Furniture FAQs
What nursery furniture do I need for my baby’s room?
Essential nursery furniture includes a cot or cot bed for safe sleeping, a baby changing table for easy nappy changes, a baby wardrobe for storage, and a nursery chair or feeding chair for comfortable feeds and cuddles.
What’s the difference between a cot and a cot bed?
A cot is designed for newborns up to around two or three years old, while a cot bed can convert into a toddler bed, making it a longer-lasting choice for your little one’s room.
Do I need a baby changing table?
A baby changing table provides a safe, elevated surface for nappy changes, often with built-in storage for wipes, nappies, and clothes. Some models double as a changing table and dresser, offering long-term use beyond the baby years.
What is the best nursery chair for feeding?
A nursery chair or feeding chair is designed for comfort and support during feeds, often featuring gentle rocking or gliding motions. Look for one with cushioned armrests and a high back for extra support during late-night feeds.
Do I need a moses basket as well as a cot?
A moses basket is a cosy, portable sleep space for newborns, ideal for keeping your baby close in the early months. Many parents use a moses basket for the first few months before transitioning their baby to a cot or cot bed.
How do I organise my baby’s nursery storage?
A baby wardrobe is perfect for storing clothes, while a changing table with drawers helps keep essentials within easy reach. Many cots also come with built-in storage, making the most of your nursery space.
