Baby Furniture Must-Haves: Creating a Cosy Nursery for Your Little One
You’ve probably spent hours browsing Pinterest boards while dreaming of designing a nursery for your little one – populated with only the best quality and most beautiful baby furniture, of course! At Ericssons Mattress & Pine, we’ve been helping families furnish their homes for over 50 years, and nurseries are no exception. We’ve got what you need to create a cosy little haven for your baby, from well-crafted baby cots to nursery essentials that grow with your family.
If you’re expecting or already cradling your little bundle, there are a few non-negotiables that every nursery needs. Let’s talk essentials.
Willow Cot: Sleek, Safe and Just the Right Size
Every nursery begins with one thing: a cot. And not just any cot – a sturdy sleep zone that keeps baby safe and comfy. The Willow Cot does exactly that, with a fuss-free melamine frame and a solid chipboard base that adjusts to two heights. Newborns? Keep them at the higher level for easy access. Growing curiosity? Drop the base lower for extra security.
With its all-white finish, it pairs beautifully with almost any nursery theme. At 1240mm long and 620mm deep, it’s compact enough for most spaces, yet still roomy inside for a peaceful night’s rest. And when it’s time to move, the Willow can be flat-packed and fits into most vehicles. We offer an assembly service too, just in case hex keys and instruction sheets aren’t your thing.
Lara Rocking Chair: The Real MVP of Midnight Feeds
Let’s not pretend reclining in an office chair while feeding your baby at 3am is a vibe. You need a dedicated spot that’s soft, sturdy, and calming – and the Lara Rocking Chair knocks it out of the park. With its smooth swing motion, it helps you rock your little one to sleep while keeping your sanity intact.
And here’s the beauty: when the baby years are over, move it into your reading nook or lounge. The Lara isn’t just a nursery piece; it’s a forever chair.
Lunar Compactum: All the Storage, None of the Stress
For such tiny little beings, babies sure do need a lot of stuff! From nappies and wipes to creams, clothes, socks, bibs, and more socks… you need organised storage that doesn’t look like a utility cabinet. Enter the Lunar Compactum.
With deep drawers on runners and a clean, modern design, this compactum offers top-tier function without taking over the room. And it comes fully assembled – because the last thing you need right now is flat-pack confusion.
Bastille 3+2 Chest of Drawers: After All, Style Shouldn’t Stop at the Nursery
Want furniture that lasts beyond nappies and night feeds? This is it. The Bastille 3 + 2 Chest of Drawers features three larger drawers and two smaller ones, all mounted on smooth telescopic runners. The combination of matte black handles, melamine finish, and a white MDF frame gives it a look that’s sophisticated enough for any room in the house.
At 1000mm high and wide, it’s your practical storage solution now – and a stylish organiser for years to come.
What Makes Wooden Baby Furniture the Best?
Wooden baby furniture (especially solid, furniture-grade pine or melamine finishes) offers unmatched durability, a non-toxic finish, and classic designs that won’t age as trends shift. It’s sturdy enough to grow with your child, and often gentle enough in design that you’ll keep using it long after the nursery stage ends.
Cute baby furniture? Most definitely. But it should also be functional, safe, made to last, and priced fairly. That’s why most of our wooden baby furniture is designed to be mixed, matched and lived in – not replaced after six months.
So, if you’re planning your baby’s space and searching for baby cots, baby cribs, or a compactum for sale, visit us in-store or online. Every nursery needs a trusted foundation. We’re here to help you build it.
