Folding cots for hotels
Folding cots for hotels are one of the most practical solutions for properties that only need to set them up when they receive a booking with a baby.
When folded they take up less space in storage and are easier to transport to the room. Before choosing a model, check:
- Open and folded dimensions.
- Total weight of the cot.
- Ease of assembly and dismantling.
- Locking system.
- Structural stability.
- Presence of castors and brakes, where applicable.
- Ease of cleaning of fabrics.
- Compatible mattress size.
- Available storage space.
The folding mechanism should be straightforward for staff, but must remain securely locked while the cot is in use in the room.
Wooden cots for hotel projects
Wooden cots are especially interesting for properties seeking a warmer, more refined look that matches room furnishings.
They are suitable for boutique hotels, rural houses, resorts, premium apartments and accommodations that regularly host families. Consider dimensions, stability, ease of assembly and storage requirements before choosing.
It is also important to check that the finish can be properly cleaned and maintained under frequent professional use.
The cot mattress
The mattress is a key component and must be compatible with the cot’s internal dimensions. There should be no excessive gap between the mattress and the cot sides.
Before requesting a quotation we recommend checking:
- The exact mattress measurements.
- Its thickness.
- Firmness level.
- Compatibility with the cot model.
- Whether the cover can be removed and washed.
- Ease of cleaning.
- Availability of compatible mattress protectors.
- Manufacturer’s usage instructions.

Before installing a cot in a room, staff must verify that the structure is correctly opened, stable and locked. Check the condition of the mattress, sides, castors, joints and any moving parts.
It is advisable to establish an internal procedure that includes:
- Visual inspection before each use.

- Verifying stability.

A professional model should facilitate:
- Transport to the room.

- Placement of the mattress.
- Preparation of bedding.
- Cleaning after each stay.
- Folding and storage.
Housekeeping trolleys housekeeping trolleys help transport linens, textiles, hygiene products and other materials needed to prepare family rooms in an organised way.
