Children's bed linen

Sleep is essential for a child’s healthy development. Suitable bed linen plays a key role in their comfort, wellbeing and health. From fabrics and sizes to care instructions, several criteria should be considered to ensure your child enjoys peaceful, restorative sleep.

Essential criteria for choosing children’s bed linen

Fabric: which material should you choose?

Cotton, a reliable choice

Cotton is a soft, breathable and hypoallergenic material. It is perfectly suited to children’s sensitive skin. Choose organic cotton certified GOTS for bed linen that is kind to both the environment and the skin.

Cotton percale, for superior comfort

If you are looking for more durable and refined bed linen, cotton percale is an excellent option. Its fine weave provides exceptional softness and long lasting quality.

Choosing the right size for your child’s bed

For a baby bed (60x120 cm or 70x140 cm)

• Fitted sheet: adapted to the mattress size.
• Duvet cover: 80x120 cm or 100x140 cm.

For a child’s bed (90x200 cm or 140x200 cm)

• Fitted sheet: 90x200 cm or 140x200 cm depending on the mattress.
• Duvet cover: 140x200 cm for an elegant drape.

Patterns and colours: combining style and calm

Children’s bed linen comes in a wide range of colours and patterns. Pastel tones such as sky blue, soft pink or sage green are ideal for creating a soothing atmosphere. Nature inspired designs, animals or star motifs are also very popular.

Easy care: an essential criterion

Children’s bed linen should be easy to wash and resistant to frequent laundering. Choose fabrics that can be washed at a minimum of 40°C and are suitable for tumble drying. Easy ironing is also a real advantage for busy parents.
