Egyptian Cotton Bedding

November 15, 2011

When choosing new bedding there are some important things to consider. Egyptian Cotton is a great choice to make and here is why.

Why 100% Cotton?

Nature has given cotton attributes that makes it a smoother, softer and more comfortable choice. It’s “breathable,” so cotton sheets never feel sticky against your skin. Cotton sheets release soil easily, so they wash clean. Cotton sheets are perfect for any season providing year-round comfort. The fibre provides cool comfort in the summer and holds a layer of warm air in the cold weather. They also have the highest wear resistance of all the principal textile fibres; in fact, they become softer with repeated washings and use.

Crib Bedding

November 5, 2011

Getting a baby crib may seem simple enough. However, before you proceed, think carefully about this item, as it is where your baby will spend most of his time. A crib needs to be comfortable, safe and durable. A few easy guidelines on crib bedding may help you to choose the right one.

Once you’ve decided on your budget, you need to ensure that the crib you buy meets the safety standards with a firm, snugly fitting mattress.  It needs to be a faultless crib without cutouts or foot-boards and a short corner post. While fixed sides can be comfortable for taller parents or if the crib is to be used less frequently, drop sides – either on one side or on both — are convenient to lift the baby out of the crib in a fairly big nursery.

It is important to see that the mattress fits properly and that it is firm. A firm mattress, one that does not bend easily when squeezed, is best because it allows babies to lift their heads in case they turn over in the night. In the case of coil mattresses, the higher the number of coils, the firmer the mattress usually is.  A multi-layered cover will last longer especially if it is vinyl or waterproof.

Anti-microbial covers are effective to keep the germs out. Don’t crowd the child’s sleeping space with toys or heavy blankets to cut out the risk of suffocation. (more…)
