Create a Dream Nursery with Quality Baby Furniture from Ericssons
Designing a nursery can be dreamy but also totally overwhelming. Which baby furniture do you actually need? What’s nice to have versus non-negotiable? At Ericssons Mattress & Pine, we know every family’s parenting style is different, so we’ve created a no-nonsense guide to help you set up a practical but beautiful nursery space.
Here’s our list of nursery furniture essentials, ranked in importance out of 5, and what to look out for when buying them. Spoiler: “Cute” is nice, but safety, comfort and sanity-saving convenience matter more.
1. Cot – 3/5 (Must-Have for Some)
A cot isn’t always the first purchase for every parent. Some families opt to co-sleep or bed share – that’s normal! But if you plan to transition baby into a separate sleep space during their first year, the Lunar Baby Cot in White is a safe and stylish choice.
- It has an adjustable base for newborn and older baby stages.
- Perfect size: fits easily in most rooms and even in your car when boxed.
- Comes flat-packed for DIY assembly (or let us assemble it for you).
- Only available in elegant white or Sahara two-tone.
And for co-sleepers? A safe, firm mattress is non-negotiable… and yes, we’ve got PLENTY of options there.
2. Compactum – 4/5 (More Useful Than You Think)
You’ll change nappies on carpets, rugs, knees, the backseat of your car… pretty much everywhere. But having a dedicated changing station with storage? Total game-changer.
The Small Lunar Baby Compactum is perfect for modern, space-conscious nurseries:
- Compact footprint (just 700 mm wide!).
- Deep drawers and open shelving for nappies, wipes, and creams at arm’s reach.
- Comes fully assembled.
Need more space? The Lunar Compactum in the Sahara finish gives you deeper drawers and a more substantial layout. Still sleek, still practical… but with extra storage muscle.
3. Rocking Chair – 5/5 (Seriously Underrated!)
If there’s one piece of baby furniture new parents don’t realise they need (until they’ve survived three nights of cluster feeds), it’s the comfy rocking chair. The Lara Rocking Chair is simple, stylish, and unbelievably soothing during those marathon 3am nursing sessions.
- Gentle swing motion calms fussy babies (and exhausted moms).
- Neutral design works in or outside the nursery when baby grows.
- It becomes your favourite chair. Promise.
We rank this 5/5 because your back (and baby) will thank you repeatedly.
4. Chest of Drawers – 3/5 (Helpful When Shared)
If you’re tight on wardrobe space, the Lunar Chest of Drawers is a clean, modern solution to baby’s rapidly growing wardrobe.
- Made from melamine for easy cleaning.
- Streamlined and compact enough to share a room with baby.
- Deep drawers mean more outfit options and fewer laundry meltdowns.
This one earns extra points if you’re splitting space between siblings or squeezing baby into a shared bedroom.
5. Toddler Bed – 2/5 (Plan-Ahead Purchase)
The Single Lunar Bed with Safety Rail is a smart, transitional choice if you’re planning long-term. Great for toddlers or pre-schoolers ready to move from cot to bed.
- Safety rail included to prevent midnight tumbles.
- Clean melamine design with optional add-ons for a matching suite.
- Flat-packed for easy transport, with optional assembly service available.
Not essential at day one, but super handy when you’re sick of late-night cot escapes.
