Why Choose An Oval Shape?
Families like soft edges because they look friendly, and they sit well in tight corners, and oval cots help you move around the bed without sharp turns. If you want a matching look across the room, a Boori oval cot pairs well with simple storage and a low chair for settling, so the space feels calm and cohesive.
Size And Fit For Real Rooms
An oval baby cot is usually smaller than an average cot, simply due to its shape. However, it is still a versatile piece that can last from newborn to the toddler years. Additionally, our oval cot bed can later convert into a toddler bed, ensuring the product's longevity.
First Months And Next Steps
Some parents decide to use a bassinet or cradle for newborns before moving them to a cot. You can view our range of Bassinets & Cradles. However, you can also start your newborn off in a cot and skip the cradle or bassinet entirely. The oval baby cot can be used from the newborn stage, all the way up to the toddler stage. Once the baby can start sitting up on its own, make sure you lower the base height to the lower toddler level. And when your little one is ready to get out of the cot on their own, convert the oval baby cot to its toddler configuration.
Mattress Match And Sheets That Fit
Boori's range includes an oval mattress that perfectly fits our oval cot. Additionally, we also have a range of bedding designed for the Boori Oasis Oval Cot, which consists of a mattress protector and Cot & Cot Bed Fitted Sheets.
Comfort Night After Night
Our oval cot features a strong plywood base with air holes, ensuring that the mattress is properly supported, but also has space for air to flow through. The spindle bars around the entirety of the cot allow for better visibility of the baby and improved airflow. Additionally, lockable castor wheels mean the oval cot can be easily moved around the home.
Materials And Finishes For Family Life
Boori's Oasis Oval cot is made out of sustainably sourced European Beech timber. This hardwood timber allows for a durable structure. The cot is finished in a low VOC water-based paint, ensuring its a safe addition to the nursery. Additionally, when finished in the Beech colour, the natural beauty of the timber grain is exquisitely displayed. With its simple shape and timeless finishes, the Oasis oval baby cot is a versatile and practical addition to the baby nursery.
Safety You Can Trust
All Boori cots comply with the required UK safety standard EN 716-1-2 : 2017+AC : 2019 to ensure peace of mind when selecting a cot.
Easy Setup Tips
Small steps make a big difference on day one and during busy nights.
- Measure First: Tape the footprint on the floor, leaving room on one side for sheet changes so hands can move freely.
- Gentle Light: Place a soft lamp where it does not shine into the cot so that settling is calm at bedtime.
- Clear Paths: Keep the route to the door open so night checks are safe and quiet for the whole family.
- Storage Close: Keep spare sheets and sleepwear in a small basket near the cot so swaps are quick.
- Fixings Check: Re-tighten bolts after the first few weeks and then at the end of each term to ensure the base remains firm.
Match The Look Across The Room
Use one main timber tone or one soft colour to create a cohesive space. A simple chair and shelf beside a Boori oasis oval cot make a calm corner for feeding and storytelling. If you add a small table for wipes and a basket for linen, the whole routine will feel smooth, and nothing will be far from hand when you need it most.
