The choice of bed linen for children should not be left to chance. Among the essentials, the child's fitted sheet occupies a central place. It ensures optimal protection of the mattress while guaranteeing the necessary comfort for peaceful nights. But how to choose the right model? What criteria should be given priority? We guide you in your selection.
Why choose a fitted sheet that is suitable for your child?
- Restful sleep : the softness and breathability of the fabric directly influences the quality of sleep.
- Optimal hygiene : a fitted sheet protects the mattress from bacteria and allergens.
- Ease of maintenance : fitted sheets must be resistant to frequent washing.
What criteria should you use to make a good choice?
Material: favor cotton and certified fabrics
The choice of textile is essential to ensure the comfort and safety of your child. Cotton is a safe bet, offering softness and breathability. Cotton jersey is soft and stretchy, while cotton percale provides a silky feel and great resistance to successive washes.
To guarantee the absence of harmful substances, choose fitted sheets certified Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 , a label guaranteeing the non-toxicity of textiles.
The size of the fitted sheet: a capital importance
To ensure a good fit on the mattress, the fitted sheet must be perfectly adjusted. Here are the standard sizes:
- 60x120 cm for a baby bed.
- 70x140 cm for an extendable bed.
- 90x200 cm or 140x200 cm for a standard child's bed.
Colors and patterns: a universe adapted to each child
Bed linen contributes to the decoration of the room. To please your child, choose soft colors or playful patterns that blend harmoniously into their world.

- Wash at 40°C minimum to eliminate bacteria.
- Choose a gentle detergent , without bleaching agents.
- Avoid tumble drying which can damage the cotton fiber.
- Iron at moderate temperature if necessary.
