13 Best Baby Crib Sheets for Your Nursery
13 Best Baby Crib Sheets for Your Nursery
Your baby won't have a blanket or duvet for quite some time — so their sheets are the star of the bed! We love to dress up a crib with punchy patterns and soft fibers to make baby's bed not only super stylish, but also comfortable and safe. As always, follow safe sleeping habits as outlined by the American Association of Pediatrics and never use loose bedding, blankets, toys, stuffed animals, or crib bumpers in baby's sleeping space. A sleep sack or wearable blanket, fitted crib sheet, and a firm mattress is all that should be in baby's crib. And that's why we say you should go ahead and splurge on your sheets.

2) SlumberCloud Essential Crib Fitted Sheet

Linen wears into a super soft material over time, and sheets are no different. Plus, with the rate at which you wash your crib sheets (because of spit-up, pee, etc) you'll have these linen crib sheets in the softest of soft conditions in no time.
Parachute's popular crib sheets are made of 100% European flax and are great for cold or warm sleepers.

We love aden + anais for their super soft muslin receiving blankets and their cotton muslin crib sheets are just as high-quality as you'd imagine.
Keeping baby's temperature regulated means they'll sleep better — and muslin is perfect for just that. Keep baby warm in the winter and cool in the summer with these airy, whimsical crib/toddler sheets from aden + anais.

Sateen isn't just for adults: The silky smooth material is available for your little ones, too, and Naturepedic's take on the fabric comes with the added benefit of being fully organic. The 100% cotton construction—that's a 300 thread count—has been vetted by GOTS and even has a Greenguard certification.
7) Coyuchi Cloud Brushed Flannel Fitted Crib Sheet

For chillier climates (or just an extra layer of warmth for winter nights), the best choice is flannel. Coyuchi's crib sheets feel ultra luxurious, thanks to their brushed material and high thread count. Made in Portugal from organic cotton, they're definitely built to last—just be sure to wash them on delicate for best results.

This innovative design saves parents the hassle of digging into the base of the crib to remove used sheets from the crib mattress for washing. Instead, just zip the top portion of the sheet off.

13) Newton Baby Organic Fitted Crib Sheet

Newton, known for its breathable mattresses (yes, for real) also makes breathable crib sheets! What does that mean? Well, it means that they’re designed for superior airflow with open-weave muslin cotton. Plus, they're pre-shrunk, hypoallergenic, and they come in "mini" crib sizes.
We think the best crib sheets are ones made from soft and safe 100% cotton, and decked out with punchy patterns and colors that both complement your decor and your baby's personality.
