Rules for choosing a bedding set for a child: what to concentrate on

Do you want your baby to fall asleep quickly, easily and calmly, and feel comfortable while sleeping? Sleepbaby online store recommends carefully choosing baby bedding, giving preference to natural materials and high quality tailoring.

Experts say that bedding sets for the little ones should not only be beautiful, but also safe for health. It means that:

• Fabrics should have a natural composition, absorb moisture well and allow air to pass through freely.
• Dyes should be non-toxic, not leave marks on the skin, not shed during washing.
• The cut of the sheet, pillowcase and duvet cover must match exactly the size of the pillow, duvet and crib.
• All seams must be carefully sealed and the edges carefully finished.

Synthetic fabrics perfectly retain the brightness of colors, are undemanding in care, and do not require ironing. But they are highly electrified, and can also create a greenhouse effect, or cause irritation on the skin (especially in the hot season). It is much safer to choose cotton, thin linen or poplin, which will keep your baby cool in summer and help keep warm in winter. Calico or heavy linen may seem too rough: they are great for adult bedding sets, but babies need a softer and more pleasant fabric.

The easiest way to assess the quality of a fabric is to gently crumple and sniff it. High-quality textiles have a pleasant smell without foreign "chemical" impurities, which indicates high quality and non-toxic dyes.

If the size of the duvet cover and pillowcase does not match the size of the bedding accessories, this creates additional inconvenience. The loose edges of the duvet cover can wrap around a baby's arm or leg during sleep, and the baby will wake up in the middle of the night. A pillowcase that is too tight will cause the pillow to tilt to one side. It will have to be constantly whipped and corrected, which is very inconvenient.

The color scheme is selected individually. Moreover, children from 3 years old can be safely involved in the selection of a bedding set. For the smallest, light, plain fabrics are ideal. A print or a small appliqué on a duvet cover, depicting a fairy-tale character or a favorite cartoon character, is allowed.

A laconic black or white set, complemented by contrasting embroidery on the corner of a duvet cover or pillowcase, looks very stylish in a teenager's bedroom. Another of the latest hits is the one-color set with beautiful lettering.
