Here’s how to choose baby and kids bedding to make sure you’ve prepared the necessary items for your little ones to maximize their chances of sweet dreams.

start with lighter, high-quality fabric
Babies have a harder time regulating their temperature at night and their skin is especially sensitive, so make sure you think about the bedding material. There should also be nothing other than a comfortable fitted sheet over the crib mattress for safety reasons. All of our organic cotton kids bedding is breathable and soft, with plenty of fabric options below, depending on how they like to sleep. Read on to explore our assortment of baby and kids bedding fabrics.

choose sheets that have a snug fit
If your kids’ sheets are too small they’ll slip off corners and if they’re too large they bunch. Create a safer bed and also save yourself the headache of having to keep fixing the sheets, and get a kids bedding set that fits just right. Plus, this will make it easier for the kids when the time comes for them to make their own beds.
make sure it’s easy to clean
With kids it can feel like things get dirty in the blink of an eye. Whether it’s an accident from a baby or one of the kids has spilled something on the bed, easy to clean kids’ bedding will make everybody’s life easier. It’s also a good idea to stay away from kids’ bedding that is dry-clean only.

choose your bedding colors and play with patterns
Once you’ve narrowed down your bedding fabrics and sizes, it’s time to think about colors and patterns. If your kids love color, it’s okay to go bold. Mix solid neutral colors with playful prints, and switch it up through the seasons as their styles and interests change. Explore these bedding ideas for babies and kids.
