Hera Cot Bed FAQs

View all FAQs

No, our Hera Cot Bed does not come with the mattress. The mattress size required is 60 x 120cm, our Hera Mattress is a perfect fit.

Don't forget to pick up the fitted sheets too!

The Hera Cot is tested to EN716. In order to pass this standard, the cot in the top position, is drop tested with a weight of 10kg.

In First Bed mode, the Hera Cot is tested to BS8509. As part of this standard, the bed base is drop tested with a weight of 35kg. Thus we can say the cot is suitable for a baby (in top position) up to 10kg, and for a toddler/child (in first bed position) up to 35kg.

The Hera Cot Bed is designed with your newborn's safety in mind. Made from sustainably sourced natural ash wood, it adheres to the highest global safety standards.

The cot bed features soft contours and smooth lines, ensuring a secure environment for your baby.

With three height adjustments, it grows with your child, converting to a Toddler Bed and First Bed. This eco-friendly choice is 100% recyclable and biodegradable, showcasing a mid-century-inspired aesthetic with walnut accents. Suitable from birth to 5 years, it combines functionality with timeless design.

When do I need to adjust the height of the Hera Cot Bed?

Top position/Newborn
Once your baby starts to roll/turnover or pull up in the cot, this is the stage at which you must lower the mattress height to the next position

Mid position Once your baby is able to
sit up unaided or has reached a weight of 10kg, this is the stage at which it is recommended you lower the mattress to the lowest position

Lowest Position
Your baby can stay in the cot in
this position as long as they are happy. Generally, at age 3-4, your toddler will ask to move to a big bed. This is your trigger to transition to ‘Toddler Bed’ mode.

To adjust the height of the mattress follow the ‘Toddler Bed Conversion’ steps in your instruction booklet Pages 12-13. Instructions linked here

If adjusting the height of the mattress to the mid-position, replace rail to complete.

The Hera cot bed is made from real Ash wood.

Ash trees are drought resistant and will grow well in many different soil types. Ash wood is an incredibly hard and durable wood type. Unique amongst hard woods, ash trees capture carbon from the atmosphere, and ash furniture stores it for decades.

We source the wood from North America and don’t use any MDF or Chipboard in our furniture and all woods, materials, glues, varnishes, paints and finishes all conform to stringent global standards.

All our items and materials are tested to meet the highest global standards and these tests include ensuring that all materials are baby-safe without any harmful chemicals.

Formaldehyde is a natural gas found in all wood and every piece naturally contains some very very small level of formaldehyde. No wooden furniture can actually claim to be 100% formaldehyde free but our Cot is 100% true/solid wood that is proven to have the lowest level of formaldehyde vs MDF or Chipboard variants.
