Get the look: Brio Cot vs Ikea Hermelin

BABY NURSERY ON A BUDGET

It’s Sweden vs Sweden in this fabulous cot standoff!

On the left we have the Brio Cot in a delectable green £170 from Panik Design and on the left…we have the Ikea Hermelin for a very cool, £75.

Both can be adjusted to two heights, are made from solid wood, but the Brio comes with a mattress and it has slats all the way around, which for me, give it the edge. The Brio also comes in finger engine red and a pristine white.

As you need to fork out for a mattress (and you should go for a decent quality one), you’ll need to spend up to an extra £42 if you buy it from Ikea or undoubtedly more if you buy it elsewhere, but it’s a great budget bargain. But if you don’t like blue and you want the wow factor colourwise, Brio wins hands down.
