Selecting the right sheet for your little one’s crib can often be more time consuming and complicated than you’d imagine. With unlimited information and options out there, we know it can be an overwhelming decision. So, we’re here to help simplify the process. We’ve compiled the three most important factors to consider when selecting a crib sheet.
1. Size: A standard crib sheet size is about 52” long by 28” wide and 5” thick. You’ll want to find a sheet this size to ensure it fits the mattress snuggly, with no excess fabric for tangling. This ensures the safety of your baby. Sheets that don’t fit properly can increase the risk of SIDS in infants under 12 months old. Choose a fitted crib sheet that sits snug against the mattress. This helps prevent suffocation and overheating. All of Oilo's crib sheets are fitted to perfection to ensure fit and safety, like our Bear crib sheet from our Heirloom Collection.
2. Soft: Opting for a high-quality sheet is always a good idea. It increases longevity and helps your baby sleep more comfortably. We’d recommend organic cotton sheets since they’re durable, breathable, natural, and comfy. Oilo’s 100% organic cotton jersey crib sheets, or 100% organic cotton premium muslin cribs sheets like this sage green muslin crib sheet, is oh-so-soft and found in a variety of colors! Plus, they’re machine-washable which any parent knows is an absolute must. At Oilo, we believe nursery items should be as stylish as they are practical.
3. Style: A well-styled crib sheet can reflect personal tastes and complement the nursery's decor, making it a space where parents feel happy and comfortable. Additionally, stylish designs can stimulate a baby’s visual development and create a sense of warmth and comfort, helping to establish a positive sleep routine. Ultimately, combining style with functionality ensures that the nursery is both beautiful and practical, and Oilo's 'Sea Moss' sage green stripe crib sheet does just that.
