3 Position Mattress Base

The Ashton cot bed mattress base is height adjustable and can be adjusted to 3 different heights. This enables you to cater for your growing child and allows you to put the mattress base at a preferred height for you and your baby’s needs.

Teething Rails

Teething rails are a great added bonus to any cot bed. Most babies like gnawing on anything and everything, particularly when their teeth are coming through, so having teething rails is a great way to help them. Instead of chomping on wood, your child can chomp on the teething rail and have their delicate teeth and gums protected.

Single-hand Dropside

The Mothercare Ashton cot bed comes with a dropside that is a little bit more special than most. A dropside is essentially allows you to drop the side of the cot so you can get your baby out much more easily and without straining your back. Some dropsides can be difficult to open or require two hands, but the Ashton cot bed’s dropside is so easy you can do ti with one hand.

Cot to Bed

The Ashton cot bed also easily converts into a toddler bed making it suitable for your child until they are about 5 years of age.

Made from Pine

The Ashton cot bed has a natural pine finish making it fit into any style nursery easily.

Price?

“What a fantastic cotbed, so easy to put up and very sturdy! Dont think there will be any chance of my 15 month breaking this!!”
”Looks a lot better than the picture shows and is very spacious!”
”I have had this bed for nearly four years now and it has been great”

“My husband said it was really quick and easy to assemble”

Complaints?

One customer stated that although the teething rails are great, there is only a small difference in height between the sides and either end. So a baby can chew the ends instead of the teething rails if they so desire. Her son chewed the ends and it “looks like a hamster has been at it!”. So in respect to this, it may be worth factoring this in if you want a cot bed to provide full protection from your child chomping the wood.
