Co-sleepers will also have their ow Many brands now offer matching collections, making it easy to create a coordinated nursery as your baby grows.

How Many Cot Sheets Do You Need?
Most parents find three to five fitted cot sheets are enough.
Having several on rotation means one can be on the cot, one in the wash and another ready for those inevitable middle-of-the-night accidents or spit-ups. If your baby experiences frequent leaks or reflux, having a few extras can save plenty of laundry stress.
What Material Is Best For Cot Sheets?
Organic cotton
Soft, breathable and suitable for everyday use.
Jersey cotton
Stretchy, cosy and particularly popular for newborns because it fits mattresses snugly.
Bamboo
Naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, making it ideal for warmer Australian climates.
Muslin
Lightweight and airy, helping promote airflow during warmer months.
Linen
Less common for babies but durable, breathable and beautifully textured.
What Size Cot Sheets Do I Need?
Most Australian standard cot mattresses measure approximately 132 x 70 cm, although it's always worth checking your mattress dimensions before purchasing, as some may be larger or smaller. For example, European cot mattresses are often 140cm x 70cm.
Bassinet mattresses vary much more between brands, so always buy sheets designed specifically for your bassinet model or mattress measurements.
Are Organic Cot Sheets Worth It?
Organic cot sheets are popular with many families because they're produced without many of the chemicals used in conventional cotton farming.
They're often exceptionally soft and can be a good option for babies with sensitive skin, although high-quality conventional cotton sheets can also provide excellent comfort and durability.
Safe Sleep Tips For Cot Bedding
For the safest sleep environment, Red Nose Australia recommends:
- Use only fitted sheets.
- Ensure sheets fit tightly around the mattress.
- Never use loose blankets inside the cot for newborns.
- Keep pillows, quilts, bumpers and soft toys out of the cot.
- Always place baby on their back to sleep.
Following safe sleep guidelines helps create a secure sleep environment while allowing your baby to sleep comfortably year-round.
FAQs About Cot Sheets & Bassinet Sheets In Australia
What are the best cot sheets in Australia?
The best cot sheets combine breathable fabrics, a secure fitted design and durable construction. Organic cotton, bamboo and jersey cotton remain the most popular choices for Australian families.
Are bamboo cot sheets better than cotton?
Both have advantages. Bamboo is naturally moisture-wicking and silky soft, while cotton is highly breathable, durable and easy to care for. The best option depends on your climate and personal preference.
How many cot sheets should I buy?
Most families find three to five fitted cot sheets provides enough rotation for regular washing and unexpected accidents.
Can cot sheets fit a bassinet?
Generally no. Cot sheets are much larger than bassinet mattresses and won't provide the snug fit recommended for safe sleep.
What is the safest fabric for baby sheets?
The safest sheets are breathable, fitted correctly and appropriate for your baby's mattress. Organic cotton, cotton jersey and bamboo are all popular choices.
Should babies sleep on organic cotton sheets?
Many parents choose organic cotton because it's soft and produced using certified organic farming practices. While not essential, it can be a good option for babies with sensitive skin.
How often should I wash cot sheets?
Cot sheets should be washed whenever they're soiled and ideally every few days as part of your regular bedding routine.
What size are Australian cot sheets?
Most standard Australian cot sheets fit mattresses measuring approximately 132 x 70 cm, while bassinet sheet sizes vary depending on the manufacturer.
