Dimensions of a baby bed in a crib for newborns. Baby bedding - size and quality matter.

Many mothers, when choosing sleeping accessories for babies, do not pay attention to their parameters. This is completely wrong, because the size of baby bedding plays an important role in ensuring the comfort of the baby. In this article, we will take a closer look at the features of the choice of bedding.

The most important thing for children is strong healthy sleep... It serves for good rest and normal development of the child. Arranging a comfortable area for a child is not as easy as it seems at first glance. The correct bedding will improve the crib and increase the level of comfort. Therefore, details such as bed linen sets special attention should be paid to the crib.

It has special requirements:

• environmental friendliness;
• safety;
• aesthetics.

This number of requirements is due to the fact that in a dream the child is most susceptible to various kinds of negative influences, because it is in a dream that the resistance to these factors is minimal.

Is it worth to sew the kit to the crib yourself

There are a large number of different variations of bedding for children on the market. However, many moms want to make a DIY kit for their baby. Indeed, all the love that will be invested in the linen during its manufacture will be able to give special comfort to the baby. One of the important advantages of self-manufacturing is the ability to select the optimal parameters. After all, standard kits do not always work.

However, it is worth appreciating all the advantages of sewing a product from the material side. First of all, the material benefit depends on how profitable you can purchase material for manufacturing.

Product material

When purchasing or sewing linen, it is imperative to take into account the quality of the material. As a rule, materials are used such as:

• cotton;
• atlas;
• chintz;
• satin.

Linseed linens

It is best if the linen was made of cotton or chintz. These materials absorb moisture well. In addition, it is worth paying attention to the quality of the drawing. Only high quality dyes should be used for its application. Of course, such materials cost a little more, but they are durable.

Baby accessories must be made from natural materials. This will avoid the development of an allergic reaction.

Complete set of bed linen, depending on their purpose

The complete set of sets is largely influenced by what age children are, and, accordingly, what kind of bed they are intended for.

For a newborn

Typically, standard kits include:

• blanket (111x141cm);
• duvet cover (113x147cm);
• protective side (361x37cm);
• pillowcase (61x41cm);
• sheet (128x147cm);
• pillow;
• canopy;
• mattress topper.

The blanket and bumpers are selected according to the season. In winter, it is better to choose products made from denser materials, while in hot seasons, you need to choose thin fabrics. It is best for the child to come into contact with products made from natural materials. This will help reduce the risk of allergies.

The birth of a child is always exciting and there are a lot of worries associated with this event. Preparing to meet a new family member is quite troublesome, so special attention should be paid to the selection of things for the baby. The main thing to consider is the correct selection of bed linen, because the baby will spend the most time in his crib. It is best to purchase a special kit or make one yourself. However, making things of this kind is quite difficult. Therefore, for the comfort of the baby, the size of the children's bedding must be selected very carefully. All bedding sets are of different sizes. When selecting or sewing linen, it is worth considering the dimensions of the bed, pillows, blankets.

As a rule, the bed for the baby is single. The table will best demonstrate the standard parameters of linen for such a bed.

For sewing, you need to use a material 1.5 meters wide. If you choose a fabric of greater width, then the pattern will not fit quite correctly.

When determining the necessary amount of fabric, it is necessary to focus primarily on the size of the bed and its main elements:

• Mattress: the standard characteristics of this element are 61x120. This characteristic should be taken into account so that the edges of the sheet can be removed under the mattress;

• Blanket: to determine the size of the duvet cover, it is necessary to take into account the parameters of the blanket itself;

• Pillow: The parameters of the pillow must be taken into account to form a pillowcase. It is best to purchase material for 2 pillowcases.

If you plan to equip a crib for a child completely independently, then it should be noted that the fabric will also be required for the sides. It is always necessary to purchase fabric with a margin to protect yourself from unnecessary spending.

In general, you will need:

• sheet - 125 cm;
• duvet cover - 235 cm;
• pillowcase - 55 cm;
• sides - 200 cm;
• stock - 50 cm.

That is, to make the entire set, 5 meters of fabric will be required.

For preschool children

When choosing or sewing underwear for children preschool age it is necessary to take into account not only the optimal parameters, but also the color gamut. The visual perception of such an important element has a significant impact on the child's psyche. In addition, a beautiful product will contribute to the formation of good taste. For boys and girls, it is best to choose a variety of bedding with cartoon characters, patterns and other bright elements.

Standard parameters for children of this age group.

For preschool institutions

Quite often, many kindergartens ask parents to provide their own bedding sets. However, you should definitely consider the kits for kindergarten different from home.

Preschool kit parameters:

For double beds

This type of underwear is not as popular as single-piece and for this reason it is quite difficult to find it. As a rule, the set includes: a sheet, 2 pillowcases, a duvet cover.

Table - kit dimensions.

Euro standards of linen

Quite often on the market you can find bed linen of certain Euro standards. I would like to note right away that this kind of standard products differ from ours in the direction of increase.

Table - Euro standards for such accessories.

Features of sewing

It should be borne in mind that making a kit for a child is quite different from working with adult textiles. It is important to consider such features:

• before sewing, the fabric must be smoothed;
• markings must be applied from all sides;
• it is best to use a linen seam for stitching.

How to properly cut fabric for sewing bedding

The sheet is sewn using the standard method. Its edges are processed on four sides, with a slight hem. In order to sew the duvet cover, you need to fix one long and two sides of the product. A required hole must be left to place the blanket. The edges of the duvet cover are processed in any way.

Double bed seam for duvet cover

When sewing a sheet at the edges, the fabric is folded twice, after which it is sewn

Sewing a pillowcase for a baby pillow is also easy. To do this, it is necessary to hem short sections of the workpiece. The material must be folded inside out and the side edges sewn together. After that, the pillowcase must be turned out and sewn again. After the pillowcase is stitched, it is turned onto the front side and ironed with an iron.

Summing up, we can say that the size of a baby bed in a crib is very important to consider when making or buying sets. When choosing accessories, be sure to consider that there are separate sizes for each age. In addition, you need to take into account the material from which the product is extracted. It is best if it is natural fabrics... If you decide to sew the kit into the crib yourself, then you need to take into account all the features of working with children's textiles and correctly calculate the amount of material needed. One of the main advantages of self-sewing is that the kit can be sewn according to your wishes, taking into account all the features. The right bedding will help your child sleep well.

Lingerie is not always sold in sets, you can buy an item and arrange it with the set you like. Or buy one more sheet for the set until the child learns to go to the toilet on his own. And for a toddler who spits up, a set of underwear with a second pillowcase is an excellent choice.

We take a tape measure in our hands and measure the following parameters: the length and width of the mattress, pillows and blankets.

The sheet should be 80-100 cm wider than the mattress, and the duvet cover 5-6 cm wider and longer than the blanket.

If you have a wide non-standard bed with two one and a half mattresses, then you can consider the option of purchasing two identical one and a half sets.
