Crib Sheets 101: Everything First-Time Moms Need to Know!

So, you’re a first-time mom, and your nesting instinct is in full swing. You've got the paint, the crib, maybe even a cute mobile. But let’s talk about something very important (and a little underrated)—crib sheets! Yes, we’re diving into the world of fitted crib sheets, mini crib sheets, and all things baby bedding, so buckle up!

Why Crib Sheets Matter More Than You Think

When it comes to baby bedding, safety and style are non-negotiable. You want your little one's nursery to look fabulous, but you also want to make sure they’re sleeping in the safest environment possible. That’s where crib sheets come in.

Whether you need a standard crib sheet for a regular crib or a mini crib sheet for a smaller setup, choosing the best crib sheets isn’t just about picking the cutest patterns (although that’s definitely a perk). The right one is designed to stay snug and secure on your baby’s mattress, making it safer for them. Loose sheets? Hard pass! We’re here for no slipping, no bunching, and no worries while your little one snoozes.

What’s the Deal with Fitted Crib Sheets?

You might be wondering, "Do I really need fitted crib sheets?" Yes, mama, you do! A properly fitted sheet with elastic all the way around ensures a tight fit on the mattress, which reduces any risk of the sheet coming loose. That’s why a fitted sheet is the best option when it comes to safe sleep. Our crib sheets are designed with this in mind—keeping your baby snug, secure, and comfy all night long (well, as long as they decide to sleep!).

Sheet Set? Not So Fast

We know the idea of a complete crib sheet set sounds adorable, but let’s clear something up. While a fitted sheet is essential, a flat top sheet should be a no-go for your baby. For safety reasons, it’s recommended that babies sleep without a flat sheet or loose blankets in their crib. Stick to fitted crib sheets only, and you’ll be golden. Need more variety? We offer plenty of adorable fitted sheets to choose from that’ll give your nursery a coordinated look without sacrificing safety.

Crib Sheets vs. Cot Bed Sheets—What’s the Difference?

If you’ve come across the term cot bed sheets, don’t worry—it’s just another way of saying crib sheets used in some parts of the world. Whether you're outfitting a crib or a cot bed, we’ve got your bedding needs covered. And, of course, all our fitted sheets feature that all-important elastic for a snug fit.

Why You Need More Than One Crib Sheet

Here’s a little tip for first-time moms: You need more than one crib sheet. Trust us on this one. Between diaper leaks, baby spit-up, and who-knows-what-else, laundry day sneaks up fast. We recommend having at least two or three fitted sheets on hand, so you’re never caught in a pinch. Plus, our sheets are machine washable (because who has time for hand washing?), so clean-up is a breeze. Just toss them in and you’re ready for round two.

Style AND Comfort

Now that we’ve covered the safety essentials, let’s talk style. You don’t have to sacrifice cute for comfort when it comes to our crib mattress sheets. They come in a variety of stylish designs, whether you’re looking for woodland animals, boho chic, or classic florals. And the best part? You can mix and match them with other items from our nursery collections, so your little one’s crib looks fabulous without even trying.

Plus, our sheets are made from buttery soft fabric that’s gentle on your baby’s delicate skin. So while they’re catching z’s (or staring up at that mobile), they’ll be super cozy.

Standard Crib Sheets or Mini Crib Sheets? We’ve Got Both!

Not every nursery has the same space, and not every crib is the same size. That’s why we offer both standard crib sheets and mini crib sheets to fit your needs. Whether you’re decking out a full-size crib or working with a mini crib in a smaller space, we’ve got the right fit to keep your baby comfortable and your nursery looking stylish.
