A complete guide to buying nursery furniture sets

Read time: 5 minutes

As a soon-to-be parent, getting furniture for your nursery room is one of the most exciting and significant investments you’ll make. And, like many other items on your To-Buy-for-Baby checklist, the sheer number of available options is enough to make you dizzy. 

So, we’ve put together this nursery furniture sets guide, to help you decide what you do and don’t need and to answer any questions you might have about nursery room furniture sets. 

Let’s get started!  

When should you buy your nursery furniture set? 

You can start planning your nursery as early as you want, but many expectant parents like to wait until the second or third trimester to buy everything and set up the nursery. Waiting until the second or third trimester also gives you plenty of opportunities to do your research to find the best baby nursery furniture for you. 

 

Benefits of buying a nursery furniture set 

Why should you buy nursery furniture? Your baby’s only small for a while, and they’ll need something bigger pretty quickly, right? While that’s true, there are several advantages to purchasing a nursery furniture set: 

• The feel-good factor: Having a new baby is exciting and should be celebrated to the max! Designing, planning, and buying things for your little one’s nursery is not something you should miss out on, and getting all-new nursery furniture is a big part of that excitement. 
• Cost-effectiveness: Manufacturers and retailers frequently offer competitive prices for bundles rather than individual pieces, making it a more budget-friendly option if you need multiple items. For example, the Puggle Henbury 3-piece nursery furniture set is less expensive than the Mee-Go Epernay Cot Bed on its own. 
• Aesthetic appeal: Matching items can create a cohesive look, pulling the room together for a polished finish. 
• Timesaving: Shopping for separate items can be time-consuming, so buying a nursery bedroom furniture set saves valuable time during pregnancy by simplifying the process. 

Essential nursery furniture 

Nursery furniture sets vary in size and can include two, three, four, or even more pieces. Essential items typically include: 

• Cot or Cot Bed 
• Chest of Drawers/Changer 
• Wardrobe 

Additional items might include: 

• Toy Chest 
• Rocking Chair 
• Under-Cot Drawer 
• Footstool 
• Cot Mattress 

Something else to consider purchasing is a baby changing unit. Having a baby changing dresser with a built-in changing unit allows you to change your baby at a comfortable height and then store the changing top away when it’s not in use. Not only is this a great space-saving solution, but it also means you’ve got everything you need on hand when you’re changing your little one. You can even get baby-changing units with a bath built-in! 

Should you get a room set with a cot bed? 

A cot bed can be a cost-effective option. Why? Because it’ll convert into a toddler bed that your little one can use from ages 2-4, or even longer. Some models even offer a third configuration, transforming into a bedroom sofa or daybed.
