With cots, setup and safe sleep matter most. I start new families on the higher mattress setting for the early months, then drop to the lower level as soon as baby can sit (earlier if they’re close to pulling up). Keep the cot clear – no pillows, quilts, bumpers or soft toys for sleep – and use a firm, flat mattress that fits the frame with minimal gaps. If you’re transitioning from a bassinet, let your baby have a few happy, awake play sessions in the cot first so it becomes a familiar space before naps and nights.
Practical bits parents ask me about: the Hendrix has a straightforward footprint that works in smaller rooms, and the smooth timber rails wipe down easily (handy for teething dribble and the odd nappy explosion). When you reach the wobbly-toddler stage, the conversion option helps you get a little longer from your furniture while you plan the move to a full bed.
I like nursery pieces that lower the mental load: safe, simple, and nice to live with. The Hendrix Ashwood Cot feels solid, looks beautiful without shouting, and does exactly what you need – secure sleep now, easy adjustments as baby grows. That calm, consistent setup supports routine… and routine is what really supports sleep.

 Choose a firm, flat cot mattress that fits the frame snugly with minimal gaps. Avoid soft or pillow-top styles for infants.
Lower as soon as your baby can sit independently, and definitely before they start pulling to stand.
 I recommend a clear cot for sleep – no pillows, quilts, bumpers or soft toys. A fitted sheet is enough.
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap, then dry. Re-check bolts and fixings every few months
Yes, the Hendrix has a clean, compact footprint. Measure so you can comfortably change sheets and move around the cot.
 If your child starts attempting to climb, consider the conversion. Follow the brand’s instructions for parts and setup.
Ideal for: parents who want a premium, timeless cot that suits a calm, modern nursery and will comfortably take baby from the newborn stage through to the toddler years (especially if you like the idea of using the toddler/day bed conversion rather than replacing furniture early).
Good to know: for best safe-sleep practice, use a firm, flat mattress that fits snugly, keep the cot clear (no pillows, quilts, bumpers or toys for sleep), and lower the mattress base as soon as your baby can sit – and definitely before they start pulling to stand.
