# Baby sleep kit UK
   
Verdict
 
Sleep kit is a firm flat mattress in a clear space in your room — not a nest, bumper or pillow. A cot bed is optional conversion, not a theme. Use the TOG calculator after you can measure the room. The Lullaby Trust is the free authority; we are the shopping filter.

Cot mattresses · Amazon UK
 
### Firm flat waterproof cot mattress
 
The product that actually matters in the sleep space. Compare size to your cot (no gaps), firmness, and a waterproof surface. Buy new.
 
 Skip if:  The listing is memory foam, pillow-top, or a second-hand mystery.

Moses baskets · Amazon UK
 
### Clair de Lune Moses basket
 
A common UK palm-basket listing. It still needs a firm flat mattress and a clear interior. Outgrown when they roll or hit the maker’s limit.
 
 Skip if:  You already have a cot that fits in the bedroom, or the listing includes a quilt.

Cots · Amazon UK
 
### Cot bed with drop-side or adjustable base
 
A cot that converts later can be the only sleep furniture you buy. The mattress still has to be new, firm, flat and snug.
 
 Skip if:  It will not fit in your room for six months of room-sharing, or the bars look decorative and wide.

Travel cots · Amazon UK
 
### Travel cot with firm mattress
 
Useful for grandparents or the first nights away. The mattress still has to be firm and snug. It is not a day-one essential if a Moses basket already moves.
 
 Skip if:  You never stay over, or the extra mattress is a soft “comfort” pad the maker did not specify.

## What should you read here?
 

Each card is a buying decision, not a catalogue. Open the guide, read who should skip it, then hop to a labelled
      retailer if you still want to buy. Official NHS, GOV.UK and Lullaby Trust pages stay free when they win. The skip-list
      sits beside this hub if you are trying to spend less, not more.
