The best co-sleepers of 2026


A
co-sleeper, also called a co-sleeper crib, is a crib that can be used either as a freestanding crib or as a bedside crib. You attach the co-sleeper to your own bed with safety straps. There's a raised side between the parent's bed and the co-sleeper , which you can lower for easy access to your baby. This makes it ideal for feeding your baby at night.
This is a nice and practical solution to keep your baby close to you during the first few months, while your baby is safe in his or her own bed.

In this article, we discuss the top 3 best co-sleepers, so you can choose the one that's right for your family. You can rent or buy a co-sleeper from us with a money-back guarantee .

THE BENEFITS OF A CO-SLEEPER CRIB

  • Direct contact with your baby without having to get out of bed
  • Safe alternative to sleeping in the same bed
  • Perfect for night feeds
  • Height adjustable for any bed
  • Folding side wall for easy access

Due to the limited period of use, a co-sleeper crib is ideally suited for rent. This way you always have a safe, hygienic and high-quality product for your baby, without high purchase costs.

HOW LONG DO YOU USE A CO-SLEEPER?

Generally, a co-sleeper is used until a baby is about six months old. This is when most babies can roll over and pull themselves up, making the use of a co-sleeper bassinet more risky. A crib is then recommended. An exception is the Chicco Next to Me Forever , which can be used longer because the mattress can be lowered. This allows the bassinet to be converted into a toddler bed.

HOW DO YOU PLACE A CO-SLEEPER?

Because a co-sleeper is placed next to the bed, it is important to go through the following steps when placing the crib:

  1. Measure the height of your bed to the top of the mattress
  2. Order a suitable co-sleeper via Tiny Library
  3. Place the cradle next to the bed and make sure the mattress fits snugly on your mattress
  4. Optional: secure the co-sleeper to the bed with tension straps

Great service! I rented a co-sleeper for our baby. She slept in it next to me for five months [...] So nice that I didn't buy the co-sleeper, but rented it, because you only need it for a relatively short time. Highly recommended to rent baby products from Tiny Library!

Marijke G.

We rented a co-sleeper through Tiny Library - now that our daughter is 6 months old, the co-sleeper has also just been returned to Tiny Library, fantastic system. No hassle, just well organised.

Evelien D.

Perfect! We really enjoyed the co-sleeper and it's so nice that it can now move on to the next baby!

Janneke B.

Great concept and so easy!!! I would recommend it to everyone. We rented a co-sleeper and baby bath for our newborn. Very satisfied. Returns are also easy. We will definitely rent something from Tiny Library again in the future to contribute to a greener future.

FAQs

Yes, a co-sleeper is safe if it meets the official safety requirements. According to the Consumers' Association, a co-sleeper must be height-adjustable, with the mattress 12 cm lower than your own mattress. The co-sleeper must also be securely attached to your bed and have a safety gate that you can close when your baby is asleep.

Yes, you can attach most co-sleepers to a box spring with the included long attachment straps. You wrap the strap around the entire mattress of your box spring and thread it through the frame of the co-sleeper. Make sure you choose a co-sleeper that can be adjusted high enough for your box spring (often up to 64-73 cm). Always check the product page to see which one applies to your co-sleeper.

Renting is often more affordable than buying because you only use a co-sleeper for an average of 3-6 months. At Tiny Library, you can rent or buy flexibly with a buy-back guarantee . Plus, when you rent, you always receive a hygienically cleaned product.
