Baby bedding

Advice on what to look for when choosing bedding for your baby's nursery, plus the opportunity to purchase a range of childrens bedding and bedding sets.


Discuss baby bedding on our forums, right now! Or, post a comment below.

Your baby will need bed linen.
  • Sheets - You will need four top and four bottom sheet, they are available in either fitted or flat varieties. You will need different sizes sheets for Moses baskets and cribs, cots and cot beds.


  • Blankets - You will need at lease four blankets. Cotton cellular blankets provide the best breathability and a fleece is good on cold nights.


  • Sleeping bags - You will need two sleeping bags. They are really good for keeping wriggling babies warm at night. You will not need to buy top sheets or blankets.


  • Duvets and pillows - These cannot be used until your baby is one year old. Cot bumpers should be removed as soon as your baby can sit up.

Using duvets on babies under 1 can result in overheating and has been linked to an increase in the risk of cot death. Instead its better to use layers of sheets and blankets as bedding.
