How do cot sheets provide comfort?

Cot bedding comes in various styles and number of pieces. Basically, a cot sheets usually consists of three pieces; a sheet, comforter and a bumper. Most manufacturers sell themed nursery sets which may include complete baby bedding sets. Let’s have a look at cot sheet sets and their comfort level one by one. The cot sheet sets is tight fitting. If the long sides of the sheet are loose, tuck them under the mattress, to keep them free and away from baby's fingers. Some manufacturers focus on making a safety sheet. These sheets have a large piece of elastic on the short ends, so it has a snug fit that keeps your baby safe and secure. Cot bumpers are another important part of the cot sheets. When baby begins to move around, it keeps them safe from the sides of the cot. It is crucial to make sure the bumper has both top and bottom cot ties. This will keep the bumper attached to the cot. If the ties are too long, baby can easily hold the loose ends and pull the bumper. Bumpers also come in a few different styles. There is a one piece bumper that goes around the whole cot. Some bumpers have more "stuffing" that make them more plush. Bumpers should be removed from the cot once the baby becomes super active. Breathable bumpers are also available, which are made of a mesh fabric, that allow air to pass through.

Importance of cot sheets:

The cot comforter or quilt is another major part of the baby cot sheets. A quilt should not be used to cover a new born baby, as your baby may get lost in a fluffy comforter. The quilt is also used on the floor to lay baby on for playtime or for a nap time. Later on, the quilt can be used in the cot after baby has become very active. You should never keep loose blankets or pillows in the cot until the baby has become super active.The cot skirt is also an important part of cot sheets, which is commonly known as dust ruffle. It protects the underside of the mattress and sheet from the cot springs. It also adds a visual warning for the baby, so he or she doesn't roll under the cot for investigation.The sleep sack is relatively a new addition to baby cot sheets, but optional. It is a wearable sleeping bag for little angels. After you have a baby ready for bed, put a baby sleep sack on and you will know he or she will stay warm all night. Babies’ arms are kept free, because it is sleeveless. This sleeping bag is designed to make your baby comfortable while sleeping.
