Awards
The Obaby Maya Cot Bed won Silver for Best Cot, Crib or Moses Basket in the Mother&Baby Awards 2025. It's a great investment that provides excellent value for money when you consider how long it will last, and the stunning minimalist design can blend in with almost any style of decor, which we love. Our Mother&Baby testers received, built and tested their own Obaby Maya Cot Beds - read on to find out how they got on with it at home.
Testing the Obaby Maya Cot Bed
The Obaby Maya Cot Bed offers a blend of style, functionality, and longevity, making it a standout choice for parents who want more than just a standard cot. Straight out of the box, the experience is user-friendly - many parents noted how simple the assembly process was. One tester shared, “The instructions to build the cot bed were easy enough to follow and my partner was able to do it in less than an hour by himself,” while another agreed, “When the cot arrived, it was well packaged and the instructions made assembly easy.” This makes the Maya an ideal choice even for those who aren't particularly DIY-savvy.
Design-wise, the Maya impresses with its clean, minimalist aesthetic. Inspired by Scandinavian design, the cot bed complements a wide range of nursery styles. One parent remarked, “I immediately loved the Scandinavian-inspired design and it fit beautifully into our house. It looks really sleek and stylish,” while another pointed out that “it matched the decor of the room as it is such a lovely neutral design.” The understated, modern look was a recurring theme across feedback, with testers appreciating how easily it blended with different room décors.
Sturdiness and safety are at the heart of the Maya Cot Bed’s appeal. Parents repeatedly praised its robust construction, giving them peace of mind as their baby grew more mobile. “Once built, the cot feels sturdy and I felt confident that it was strong enough to withstand my baby pulling herself up to stand and hold on to the rails without wobbling or tipping,” said one reviewer.
Another added, “It is very sturdy and secure, it definitely wouldn’t be easy to topple and the finish is very smooth so there's no risk of splinters.” These features are crucial for parents who want a cot bed that offers both comfort and safety throughout early childhood.
One of the Maya’s most impressive features is its adaptability. The cot easily transforms into a toddler bed, supporting a smooth transition as your child grows. As one user highlighted, “We also tested out removing the side and we loved how safe the cot still seemed. We feel that our daughter would transition well from the cot to the bigger bed.”
Another reviewer echoed this sentiment, saying, “I like how easily the cot bed converts into a toddler bed by simply removing the side but still retains a safety rail. It can then have the safety rail removed when baby is ready for their 'big bed' which will be amazing.” This ability to evolve with your child makes the cot more than just a short-term purchase.
For many, this multi-stage functionality is what sets the Maya apart. As one tester put it, “Having only ever had a simple cot that was just a cot, this product really stood out as it can be adapted to suit different ages and stages, thus saving you money in the long run.” The cot’s extended usability—spanning from infancy through toddlerhood - adds to its value proposition. Another parent summarised this sentiment well: “Considering its durability, functionality, and the fact that it can be used for several years… I feel it offers good value for money, especially as others we have seen don't have the same functionality to grow with your child.”
Final thoughts
The Obaby Maya Cot Bed is more than just a place for your baby to sleep - it’s a thoughtfully designed piece of furniture that adapts as your child grows, offering peace of mind and long-term value. With its modern design, easy assembly, sturdy build, and clever convertibility, it's no surprise that parents described it as “a solid investment” and “a standout” in the cot bed market. If you’re looking for a cot that combines function, style, and longevity, the Maya deserves a top spot on your shortlist.
