Professional cot assembly - properly built to current safety standards with mattress height correctly set. Safe sleep for your baby from day one.
### The Most Important Flat-Pack
Baby's cot needs to be **right** - not "good enough" or "seems fine". Correct assembly to safety standards means safe sleep every night.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Keep the instruction manual - you'll need it when lowering the mattress height as baby grows, and possibly for future cot-bed conversion.

Frequently Asked Questions about Cot assembly in Tiverton
How long does cot assembly take?
Usually 1-1.5 hours depending on design complexity. Some cots are straightforward, others have multiple height settings, storage drawers, and conversion options that take longer.
What about the mattress height?
We set it at the highest position for newborns (easier to lift baby in and out). Lower it as baby grows and starts pulling up to standing - usually around 6 months.
Can you check an existing cot we've been given?
Yes - safety check for second-hand cots is sensible. We check it meets current standards, all fixings are secure, and there are no recalled models or safety issues.
Can you assemble other nursery furniture at the same time?
Absolutely - that's the most efficient approach. Cot, changing table, wardrobe - do the whole nursery in one visit.
