I decided to splurge a little on a second hand Stokke Sleepi cot. (I was actually leaning towards the Leander but a Stokke set came up at the right price first.) Anyway, it comes with the mini-bassinet kit but not the junior bed extension. I was wondering if any of you actually used the junior bed extension? Was it worth it? Or did you just go straight to a bed? Did you get the Stokke brand mattress or another brand?

(The logical thing would be to wait and see but the cot I've bought is in the discontinued cherry colour so I feel like I should try and snap up an extension while a few shops still have them in stock.)
