BABY NURSERY BUYS: Top Picks for Nursery Furniture and Products

Is there anything more exciting during pregnancy than designing and shopping for your baby’s nursery? We think not! Well, maybe the ultrasounds – they are pretty exciting, but buying ALL the baby nursery furniture is definitely up there too!

Every expecting mum will have a different idea of what they want the baby nursery to look like. Colours, themes, trends, styles, but there are a few items that are a must for every baby’s room – a bassinet, a cot, a changing table and set of drawers, a rocking chair, a play mat, a night light.

We at Mum Central have put together our top picks for the best nursery furniture and products of 2020, including all of the above. Take a look at which ones made our list and shop the range. We’ve got some great deals too on the big brands below so keep an eye out for all the savings!

[mc_block_title custom_title=”SnüzPod Bedside Bassinet”]

A bassinet ensures a cosy sleep and provides a more portable and flexible way for babies to sleep during their first few weeks and months. SnüzPod allows you to co-sleep without the risks of having a baby in your bed. It simply attaches to the bed so baby is right next to you making it easy to reach for cuddles and feed at all hours of the day or night. No need for a separate bassinet or basket, SnüzPod is quick and easy to lift off and move around the house at only 4.1kg.

Use it as a stand-alone bassinet, a co-sleeper or a portable bed to move around the house. So easy! Beautifully made with beech wood, and available in seven colours, we know it will suit your nursery perfectly. It also has 9 height settings to fit both divan and framed beds too.

PRICE: $495
WHERE TO BUY: Check out SnüzPod in action at Edwards & Co

Complement the drawer chest with the ZURI cot, featuring fixed slate sides, an adjustable height, non-slip feet and stylish beechwood legs.

More nursery inspiration

It’s perfectly normal to want to set up a great space for your little one. With my firstborn, I spent hours and hours researching baby nursery products, choosing paint colours, moving furniture around, and sitting in the space taking in the atmosphere. With my thirdborn we basically threw a cot in the corner of our bedroom last minute, but, hey, that’s #thirdbaby for ya!
