Sleep is essential for the proper development of children. Suitable bed linen contributes to their comfort, well-being and health. Between materials, dimensions and maintenance, several criteria must be taken into account to offer your child a peaceful sleep.
The essential criteria for choosing children's bed linen
The material: which material should you choose?
Cotton, a safe bet
Cotton is a soft, breathable and hypoallergenic material. It is ideal for children's sensitive skin. Choose GOTS certified organic cotton for environmentally friendly and skin-friendly bed linen.
Cotton percale, for superior comfort
If you are looking for a more durable and refined bed linen, cotton percale is an excellent choice. Its fine weave ensures great softness and good durability.
The dimensions adapted to your child's bed
For a baby bed (60x120 cm or 70x140 cm)
- Fitted sheet: adapted to the dimensions of the mattress.
- Duvet cover: size 80x120 cm or 100x140 cm.
For a child's bed (90x200 cm or 140x200 cm)
- Fitted sheet: 90x200 cm or 140x200 cm depending on the mattress.
- Duvet cover: 140x200 cm for an elegant drape.
Patterns and colors: combining aesthetics and calm
Children's bed linen comes in a multitude of colours and patterns. Pastel tones, such as sky blue, powder pink or sage green, are ideal for a calming effect. Patterns inspired by nature, animals or stars are also very popular.
Ease of maintenance: an essential criterion
Children's bed linen should be easy to wash and resistant to frequent washing . Choose fabrics that can be washed at a minimum of 40°C and tumble dried. Easy ironing is also an advantage for busy parents.
