I'm trying to stock up now we've got two cotbeds in use, and on the high street I've seen them for about £20 for 2 or 3.

Where's the cheapest place to buy them? I'm happy with plain white, no frills. I looked into buying the fabric and making, but a) I can't sew with a baby in arms, and b) it didn't work out very cheaply!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Matalan or Asda are pretty cheap if you have either of those nearby

depending on the size of the mattress, Ikea do fairly cheap ones

have a look here too

I bought some from Toys-r-us a few weeks ago, plain white, £9.99 for 2. There was an offer on where if you buy one bedding item you got another half price, so I came away with 4 for £15.

That is brilliant, thank you all. We do have a new Matalan close by which I hadn't thought of looking in, and a ToysRUs too. We're about the only part of the country still hours away from IKEA, so the petrol money would certainly outweigh the saving be going there.

Bought the mattress from Kiddicare, thanks Jareth. They're very good on delivery, but I don't like the mattress now it's arrived. Might lead to my next thread... Can you get a good quality cotbed mattress without spending a lot? Think I'm going to have to send this one back. It was only £39.99 and feels like cardboard!

Thanks again :)

I think a mattress is worth spending that little bit more on if you can afford it, especially as it's a cotbed and it may well be used for several years. A cheaper one may be a false economy iyswim

I found this company very good for cot mattresses, think they were recommended by MNtters

Yep you're right Jareth - I found that out too late with this economy buy. Think I'll want to feel the mattress 'in the flesh' before I buy it now, although I'm sure that company's very good. Thanks again both :)

I found out the hard way to brought a pack of 2 fitted sheets brand new of ebay and they have bubbled and have worn out very quickly, if you have a cotbed buy some to last as little one will be in it for a while check out this site www.funkysheets.co.uk i brought 2 sets from here and they wash really well.
