Cot Safety

The safety and comfort of your little one is our main priority here at Warwickshire Cot Company, we strive to provide not only the most beautifully crafted cribs in England, but to also ensure that your little one is always safe and has the most comfortable sleep during their nap times.

Our luxury cribs come with the option to purchase alone or with a mattress to give our customers a flexible purchase. All of our mattresses are designed and manufactured in England to the highest quality. Our mattresses comply with British Standards and are manufactured in accordance with the rigorous requirements of BS 7177 for flamma­bili­ty and BS 1877 Part 10, 2011 & A1 2012 for safety and performance, without the use of fire retardant chemicals such as arsenic, antimony or phosphorous.

For the safety of our consumers our cots have been tested here in the UK and comply with rigorous requirements of the following British Safety Standards:

  • EN 71-3 on all materials as required as part of EN 71-6 for children’s furniture.

  • Reach Annex XVII For Restricted Substances

  • Schedule 4 Part 1 & Schedule 5 part 1 (Cigarette and Match test) : UK Fire & Safety Regulations for Domestic furniture

  • Schedule 1 Part 1 : UK Fire & Safety Regulations for Domestic Furniture

Any Toys, cushions should be used for decorative purposes ONLY, for safety we encourage all customers ensure that any toys/cushions/teddies are removed from the cot when your baby placed down to sleep. For safety measures it is highly recommended that babies are placed to sleep on their back with their feet closest to the bottom end of the crib/cot, with a light breathable blanket tucked into either side of the mattress below babies shoulder height. For babies under 12 months, sleeping products such as pillows, duvets are not deemed safe because they can increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Cot bumpers are not safe especially when your little one is able to roll and move around more these can cause accidents, they are also not safe for your baby as babies can become entangled in the bumper ties and excess fabrics, babies have also been known to climb on these. Loose bedding, bumpers or pillows are deemed unsafe whilst your little one is put down to sleep.
