Cotbed bumpers


Help please!!!! I cannot find a cotbed bumper to fit! I bought one on ebay for a really good price but it doesnt fit its for a cot. I cant find a bumper that fits a cotbed and they are all advertised at cot/cotbed and i know that they wont fit. Does anyone have one that fits their cotbed and where did they get it?!

I dont have alot of money to spend on it either so dont want to spend much more than £15 if thats possible

We got the 'I Love My Bear' one from babiesrus.. It doesn't fit perfectly... we kinda had to make it fit lol It doesn't fit 100% snug into the corners but it's close enough so it's not dangerous if you get what i mean. There's no way she'd be able to get behind it in anyway

Do not mean to preach or scare anyone, but I recently removed my cot bumper after I was told that you really shouldn't use them. Apparently they prevent air circulating around the baby and also prevent the amonia in the wee from circulating away from the baby so the baby is more likely to breath it in at night.

Just thought I'd pass this on.

I need it as my baby keeps hurting her head on the bars!! The mattress is ventilated so there shouldnt be a problem there

How much too small is it? the ones i've tried are about 2 cm's too short on the middle piece. i could make them fit but i'm too ocd to let that one slide!! it would drive me mad lol

Looking at it again, it actually does fit perfectly, if the cotbed we've got had bars at the head to tie it round properly. (One we have has a solid headboard so only have side bars to tie to).

If the ties are done up really tightly then it fits. We've got a standard size cotbed.

I got a cream/yellow one with teddies on it from wilkinsons it was about £8 if I remember rightly it fits my cot bed with a tug here and there. Very much a bargain at that price..... I got the whole set of bumper, duvet, blanket and cushion for £22 x
