When you’re choosing nursery furniture, remember that what the cot is made from is just as important as the fun elements like style and colour.

At Babyhood, all of our cots are crafted from real timber, chosen for its strength, durability, and timeless look.

What Does “Real Timber” Mean?

Real timber refers to solid wood components, rather than composite materials like particleboard or MDF.

Timber has been used in furniture for generations because of its natural strength and longevity. For nursery furniture, it also creates a beautiful, warm aesthetic that suits a wide range of homes and nursery styles.

Designed To Last Beyond The Baby Years

Babies grow quickly, which is why many Babyhood cots are designed to grow with them too.

Many of our cots convert from:

newborn cot
to toddler bed
and in some cases beyond

Using durable timber helps create furniture that can support everyday family life through years of use.

Parents often tell us their Babyhood cot is still being used well into the toddler years, and for younger siblings later on.

What could be used, other than wood?

Some nursery furniture is made using engineered or composite wood products such as MDF, LVL, plywood, or particleboard. These materials can help create more affordable furniture and are commonly used across the furniture industry.

At Babyhood, all of our cots are crafted from real timber because we love the natural strength, durability, and timeless feel that solid timber brings to the nursery.

Whether your nursery style is:

minimalist
coastal
Scandinavian-inspired
classic
modern

timber furniture creates a calm, timeless foundation that works beautifully across changing styles and stages.

Designed With Safety In Mind

All Babyhood cots are independently tested to Australian and New Zealand safety standards AS/NZS 2172.

Our products are tested by Furntech AFRDI in Australia, an independent accredited testing laboratory specialising in furniture safety testing.

A Long-Term Nursery Investment

A cot is one of the most-used pieces of furniture in your baby’s early years.

That’s why many families choose real timber furniture.
