Cocoon

Most nursery brands sell you a cot and leave you to work out the rest. Cocoon furnishes the whole room, right down to the chair you'll be sitting in at two in the morning, which is the piece almost everyone forgets until they need it.

A Whole Room, Not a Single Product 

The breadth here is what sets Cocoon apart from most nursery names. A single range gives you the cot, the matching change table, the dresser, the mattress cut to fit, the sheets and the feeding chair, in finishes that were designed alongside each other. That matters because a nursery assembled from five brands rarely looks like it was planned, and matching timber tones after the fact is close to impossible. Buying within one range takes that problem away entirely. The finishes lean warm and current, with sandstone and natural washes alongside white, which sits comfortably in a room that isn't going to stay a nursery forever.

The Chair Nobody Tells You to Buy 

If there's one piece we'd point you at, it's the recliner. You'll spend hundreds of hours feeding and settling in the first year, most of them at hours when the rest of the house is asleep, and doing that on the edge of a bed or in a dining chair is genuinely hard on a body that's recovering. The Rio and Bondi are electric recliners and gliders in boucle, some with a USB port built in so your phone charges while you're stuck under a sleeping baby. It's a small detail that tells you someone who has actually done night feeds was involved in the design. Once the feeding years pass, the chair moves to a living room rather than going to the tip.

Building the Room Piece by Piece 

• The first months: the Breeze Co Sleeper Bassinet keeps your newborn beside you, sitting with our otherco sleepers andbassinets.

• The cot: the Vibe, Nest, Flair, Evoke and Evoluer are 4-in-1 designs that convert through several stages, and the Piccolo, Luxe, Allure, Aston and Lolli Sprout round out ourcots range.

• Changing: the Allure, Luxe, Evoluer and Aston change tables are made to sit beside their matching cots, alongside our fulldressers and change tables range.

• Sleeping on: mattresses sized for each cot, plus fittedbedding in prints like Forest Friends, Panda Play and Circus Elephant for both cots and bassinets.

• Feeding and settling: the Rio and Bondi recliners, which we'd file under things worth buying before the baby arrives rather than after. 

Several cots come packaged with their mattress or change table, which usually costs less than buying the pieces separately.
