the cots that convert into little beds...What to do??

[stickylittlefingers]

Hope this is the right section... We're looking to convert dd2's cot in the next couple of weeks, but I'm a bit mystified about bed coverings. So far she's just had a blanket tucked into the end of the cot, but wears an all-in-one so when she wiggles out from under the blanket she doesn't notice. A blanket just on the bottom third of a bed seems a bit odd tho...

I thought there might be half size duvets and covers for when the cot turns into a bed, but haven't been able to find one. Surely full size duvet would be way too big and just fall off all the time?

Am I being very thick here? - Please help!!

I think we got our teeny duvet from toys r us. will look

here and they do a couple of duvet covers for it.

We had one proper one, and then one I cut down to size from a big one because she wanted care bears.

Look for a duvet that says it is for a cotbed. John Lewis definitely does them, and I think Mothercare does too.

What choppychopster said.

You need a cotbed duver, you can get them from John Lewis, Mothercare, Argos, that kind of place, you also buy cotbed sheets and a lickle ickle pillow for their teeny tiny heads (from mothercare at least).

I've heard these are great.

And my top tip, instead of putting the bars in the loft or garage use them as clothes airers.

You need to get a duvet for a cot bed. Ours is from the White Company I think but John Loews also do them.

thank you for all the answers! I knew I must be being thick. I love the idea of a lickle ickle pillow for her teeny tiny head and the clother airer idea is fab - I wonder could I suspend them from the ceiling like those victorian airer things?

Oh the possibilities... ta everybody!
