Rank #8 in Best Cot Beds 2026: 10 Ranked, and Where the Listings Disagree
Love For Sleep JACOB Cot Bed with Drawer, White
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Love For Sleep Jacob sits at number eight in this guide, and it is the smaller of the two mattress sizes a cot bed normally takes: the bullet asks for a 120x60cm mattress, not a 140x70cm one. That matters, because the frame measurements given in the same listing — 124 x 65 x 90 cm — leave roughly 2cm of frame at each end and 2.5cm at each side around a 120x60cm mattress. The two numbers are consistent with each other, which is not something every cot bed in this guide can claim.
Where this listing argues with itself is the reviews. The headline reports 34 ratings at 4.3 out of 5. The rating histogram underneath totals 100: 10 one-star, 2 three-star, 19 four-star and 69 five-star. Those two figures cannot both describe the same set of buyers, and 10 one-star bars is a large share of a hundred. The spec table has a smaller version of the same problem: 'Included Components' lists the guard rail and nothing else, while the bullets promise a guard rail, teething rails and a large covered drawer. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing, not from our own testing — we have not assembled this cot or measured it in a room.

Questions people ask
What size mattress does the Love For Sleep Jacob cot bed take?
The bullet specifies 120x60cm. The frame is listed at 124 x 65 x 90 cm, so a mattress of that size sits inside a few centimetres of surround on each side.
Does the Jacob convert into a toddler bed?
Yes. Love For Sleep says it converts from a baby cot into a toddler bed using the wooden guard rail that comes in the box.
How many mattress base heights does it have?
Three. The listing describes three adjustable mattress base positions, intended to suit a child from birth to around three years.
Is a drawer included?
The bullet describes a large covered drawer on gliding runners with a dust cover, but the 'Included Components' field lists only the guard rail — the two parts of the listing do not agree on this.
Does it need assembling?
Yes, the spec sheet says assembly is required. Among the reviews, one buyer reports it went together with one person.
How is the Love For Sleep Jacob rated?
4.3 out of 5 from 34 ratings, according to the listing. The histogram shows 10 one-star, 2 three-star, 19 four-star and 69 five-star bars, which adds up to 100 rather than 34.
