The Highest Bedside Crib in the UK
If your bed is too tall for a standard bedside crib, you're not alone. Many popular co-sleeper cribs stop fitting, once your mattress reaches around 64-70cm from the floor, which rules them out for anyone with a tall divan bed, a tall framed bed or simply a deeper than average mattress.
The Huddle is the tallest bedside crib on the UK market, fitting mattresses up to 78cm high measured from the floor. It attaches securely to divan or framed beds using the straps provided, with 10 height settings to help you find the right fit.

Independently Recognised for Its Height Advantage
Huddle's extra height has been recognised independently. Recent press coverage has described the Huddle as the tallest bedside crib on the UK market.
How to Measure Your Bed for a Bedside Crib
- Measure from the floor to the top surface of your mattress (not the top of the divan base alone).
- Use a tape measure and check both sides of the bed, as beds aren't always perfectly level.
- Compare your measurement against the crib's stated maximum mattress height.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Huddle fit a divan bed?
Yes. The Huddle is designed to work with divan, ottoman and framed beds, using the straps provided to attach it securely.
What if my mattress is higher than 78cm?
The Huddle is the tallest bedside crib currently available in the UK. If your mattress height exceeds 78cm, a bedside crib may not be suitable, and a standalone crib or moses basket, positioned beside the bed may be a better option.
Does it work with an ottoman bed?
Yes, provided the mattress height falls within the Huddle's 78cm maximum.
How many height settings does the Huddle have?
10, allowing you to fine-tune the fit for most standard and taller UK beds.
Has the maximum height always been 78cm?
No. The earlier version of this product (previously sold as the Knuma Huddle) fit beds up to 70cm. The latest model of the Huddle, launched in 2025, increased this to 78cm.
Need a bedside Crib for a High Bed?
The Huddle has 10 height settings and is designed to accommodate adult mattress heights from 50.5cm to 78cm. Available in natural beech or white.

*Silver Cross does not explicitly publish this as a "max mattress height" spec; the figure reflects the crib's own stated height and should be confirmed directly with Silver Cross before relying on it as a direct comparison.
**Maxi-Cosi measures this differently to the other cribs listed. Their 49cm figure refers to the maximum height of the bed frame itself (not including the mattress), with a separate minimum total bed height of 56cm required. It is not a direct like-for-like comparison with the other max mattress height figures shown here.
