Waffi Cot vs Orrin Cot: Which Wooden Cot Is Right for Your Baby and Your Family Needs?
Choosing your baby’s first cot is an exciting milestone, but with so many options available, it can be difficult to decide which one best suits your family’s needs. At Viculii (vee-koo-lee), two of our most popular wooden cots are the Waffi Space Saver Mini Cot and the Orrin Foldable Standard Cot. Both are thoughtfully designed, practical, and made to provide a safe and comfortable sleeping environment – but each offers unique benefits.
Let’s take a closer look to help you decide which one is the perfect fit for your nursery.
Waffi Space Saver Mini Cot – Ideal for Smaller Spaces
If you’re looking for a compact cot without compromising on comfort, our Waffi Space Saver Mini Cot is an excellent choice.
Designed for modern homes, apartments, grandparents’ houses, or smaller nurseries, this award-winning cot measures just the right size to maximise your available space while providing a cosy sleeping environment for your little one.
Key Features

- Requires a 100 x 50cm mattress
- Practical drop-side for easier access to your baby
- Three-position adjustable mattress base to adapt as your baby grows
- Beautiful wooden construction

The adjustable mattress base makes life easier for parents. Keep the mattress at the highest level for newborns to reduce bending, then lower it as your baby becomes more mobile.
The convenient drop-side also makes lifting your baby in and out of the cot much easier, especially during those frequent night-time feeds.
Orrin Foldable Standard Cot – Practical Flexibility
If you need a full-size cot that offers exceptional flexibility, the Orrin Foldable Cot is a fantastic option.
Designed with practicality in mind, this standard-sized cot is ideal for families who appreciate extra space while also needing a clever storage solution.
