Nursery Bedding Basics: Components and Choosing Tips

A new baby is on the way and you’re looking to furnish your baby’s nursery to make it the best possible haven for your little one. How do you choose the perfect nursery bedding that’ll provide your newborn with optimum comfort while also offering pleasing aesthetics for your nursery room and ease of care and maintenance for your convenience? This question is what this guide will answer for you.
In shopping for crib bedding, you’ll first need to familiarize yourself with the basic components typically included in a regular crib bedding set

. Aside from these pre-packaged bedding sets, crib bedding separates are also available in case you don’t find the combination of bedding components you need or simply want to purchase extra sheets in addition to what you already have. Whether you intend to buy nursery bedding as a set or as separates, you’ll need to brush up on the basic terms used to refer to these bedding components and what qualities to look for when buying each.
• Fitted sheets
These are among the essential components of every crib bedding set. Fitted sheets are meant to be bottom sheets. Bought in the size appropriate to the crib mattress you have back home, make for a safer sleeping environment for your baby. A bedding sheet’s snug fit to the mattress is necessary to prevent it from getting loosened and pulled away from the mattress as your baby moves around on his or her bed more, averting the possibility of the sheet getting tangled up and becoming a strangulation or suffocation hazard. Check that the fitted sheets you purchase correctly fit the size of your crib mattress, and get at least 3-4 extra sheets so you have a good supply for changes especially during babies’ early months when they can be expected to make a lot of messes.
Aside from checking for fit and ensuring enough quantity of sheets for changes, also consider the fabric of the sheets. Percale is the term used to refer to how the fabric I woven, and can either be 100% cotton or cotton blended with polyester. Percale with higher thread counts generally means softer sheets. Fitted sheets are also available in velour, a plush fabric ideal for colder environments, as well as jersey knit, a type of fabric that feels as comfy as a T-shirt.
• Baby blankets
Make sure you keep your newborn comfortably warm in his or her crib with the right type of baby blankets. Cotton cellular blankets are lightweight and 100% cotton, capable of keeping baby cool in summer and warm in winter. Fleece blankets are very soft, made of 100% polyester and easy to wash, although they tend to be more expensive. Acrylic cellular blankets are extra-lightweight, but are generally not as soft on the skin as fleece or cotton.
• Bumpers
Finally, crib bumpers are also typically included in nursery bedding sets. Bumpers are oblong soft fabric pads tied to the sides of the crib or to the slats of your baby’s crib. They’re used to keep your baby’s arms and legs inside the crib and protect your baby from bumping into the hard sides of the crib. When buying bumpers, make sure they fit your crib correctly without overlapping or leaving gaps. Mesh or breathable bumpers are also preferred by many parents as they reduce the risk of suffocation and their material collapses so that your baby is prevented from climbing on them.
