When do I need to adjust the height of the Hera Cot Bed?
Top position/Newborn
Once your baby starts to
roll/turnover or pull up in the cot, this is the stage at which you must lower the mattress height to the next position
Mid position (UK/EN only) Once your baby is able to
sit up unaided or has reached a weight of 10kg, this is the stage at which it is recommended you lower the mattress to the lowest position
Lowest Position
Your baby can stay in the cot in
this position as long as they are happy. Generally, at age 3-4, your toddler will ask to move to a big bed. This is your trigger to transition to ‘Toddler Bed’ mode.
To adjust the height of the mattress follow the ‘Toddler Bed Conversion’ steps in your instruction booklet Pages 12-13. Instructions linked here
If adjusting the height of the mattress to the mid-position,
replace rail to complete.
Follow the ‘Toddler Bed Conversion’ steps in your instruction booklet pages 12-13.
Follow the 'First Bed Conversion' steps per your instruction booklet pages 15-18.

The Hera cot bed is made from Ash wood. The wood used to make this piece of furniture is grown in an FSC forest and harvested in accordance with FSC guidelines.
Ash trees are drought resistant and will grow well in many different soil types. Ash wood is an incredibly hard and durable wood type. Unique amongst hard woods, ash trees capture carbon from the atmosphere, and ash furniture stores it for decades.
