Frequently asked questions
What safety certifications should I look for in cot bed bedding?
Look for OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, which ensures no harmful chemicals. GOTS certified organic cotton is also excellent. Avoid sets with loose ribbons or strings longer than 30cm to prevent strangulation hazards.
What type of fabric is best for boys' cot bed bedding?
Cotton, especially organic or percale, is breathable and durable. Jersey cotton is soft but may stretch out. Bamboo-cotton blends offer temperature regulation. Avoid polyester-heavy fabrics as they can trap heat.
How many pieces should a cot bed bedding set include?
Most sets include a fitted sheet, duvet cover, and pillowcase. Some also include a flat sheet or comforter. For cot beds, ensure the pillowcase fits a standard 60x40cm pillow and the sheet fits a 140x70cm mattress with deep pockets.
Can I use regular single bedding on a cot bed?
No, cot bed bedding is designed for the smaller dimensions (typically 140x70cm mattress). Using larger sheets can create loose fabric that is a suffocation risk. Always use properly sizes cot bed bedding.
How often should I wash cot bed bedding?
Wash fitted sheets weekly and the duvet cover/pillowcase every two weeks, or more frequently if there are spills or allergies. Use a gentle cycle at 40-60°C and avoid fabric softeners to maintain certifications.
