Finding the best cot sheet for your baby
Whether you're designing an elaborate nursery or simply putting a baby cot in your bedroom, shopping for organic cot sheets at Metro Baby is fun. Your little one deserves the best at the right price. After all, a cot or bassinet is where your baby will be spending a lot of time during this important stage of growth and development.
Newborns can sleep up to 18 hours a day, so it's important to make the space as comforting and attractive as possible. This is where the Metro Baby collection of cute and comfy cot sheets comes into the picture.
Softness to make your baby comfortable
Fitted cot sheets made of natural soft cotton are the most popular choice among parents. Cotton is breathable, long-lasting and non-allergenic, making cotton baby cot sheets a good option, particularly for children with sensitive skin.
During colder months, flannelette fitted cot sheets are a great choice. Flannelette is breathable, retains heat, and is soft to the touch. If your priority is protecting your baby and mattress, waterproof fitted cot sheets are another option worth adding to your Metro Baby wishlist.
Ease of washing is the key
Cot sheets, cot bedding and baby comforters are small, easy to clean, and machine washable. Quality cot sheets are pre-shrunk and can be washed in hot or cold water. Babies spend a lot of time in contact with cot sheets, so it's advisable to wash with mild anti-bacterial detergents to get rid of harmful germs or bacteria.
Natural sunshine is a great drying option as it delivers anti-bacterial disinfecting drying for all sorts of baby gear such as pyjamas, pillow cases, quilt covers, swaddles and other baby sleep items. Using a clothes dryer generally fine also, and baby sleep products are small items that will dry fast. Metro Baby products are made from easy-clean natural fabrics that offer optimal protection and comfort for your little ones.
Safety - making sure the cot sheets fit correctly
Most cot sheets have fitted corners to keep them secure. Metro Baby sheets are made of soft and breathable fabrics that include organic cotton, lightweight flannel, and muslin cloth. It's worth measuring the cot dimensions prior to purchasing sheets to ensure they fit correctly, without being too tight or too loose and bunchy. Always follow manufacturers guidelines at laundry time to ensure your fitted cot sheets remain in good condition.

Accessories you may want to consider when setting up your cot
The cot and fitted cot sheets are just the start at Metro Baby. We have thousands of baby products available from well-known manufacturers. Firstly though, it's worth adding a dash of colour or pattern to the room with paint (non-toxic) or wallpaper. Mums, dads, and guardians need a comfy space too, so it's worth investing in a comfy rocker with plenty of cushioning and space for you and your little one.
Choices for the nursery are only limited by your imagination. However, it's worth remembering that many wooden toys, stuffed toys, rattles and other accessories should remain outside the cot at unsupervised times as they may be a choking or health hazard. Keep mobiles, hangings and other decorative items out of reach also. Consider practical shelving for toys and accessories to keep the nursery area clean and tidy.
Making sure it fits your cot
Your baby will spend many hours every day in their cot, so make sure it meets Australian safety standards. Fitted cot sheets are made-to-measure to ensure the best baby sleep possible. Here are a few safety hints for your new cot or bassinet.
• The mattress must be a snug fit, with no gaps where the baby's head can get stuck.
• The bars must be smooth and securely fixed. The bars should be no more than 6.5cm apart.
• The cot and cot legs should be sturdy.
• All moving parts should work in a way that doesn't allow fingers to get trapped.
• Never leave clothes, bibs or anything with ties in the cot as they are a choking hazard.
