So Many Choices!
If you purchase a crib bedding set, chances are at least one crib sheet will be included. However, it's smart to have several crib sheets on hand to make changing the baby's bed a breeze.
Finding additional crib sheets to match the decor of the nursery is easy since they are available in a number of designs. Farm animals, princesses, trains - you name it and chances are there are crib sheets to match. Solid-colored crib sheets also are a nice option when purchased in a color that complements your baby's bedding.
If you still don't see anything you like you can always make your own crib sheets. A simple search on the Internet will pull up a number of simple patterns for crib sheets.
From Traditional to Luxurious
Crib sheets are now available in a variety of fabrics that will help create a cozy bed for your baby. The traditional cotton crib sheet is taking a back seat to more luxurious fabrics like fleece, flannel and chamois. Environment-friendly crib sheets made of organic cotton are also now available.
Price Check
Crib sheets don't have to cost a fortune. You can spend as little as $10 for a set of two basic crib sheets. You should plan on spending more if you opt for crib sheets that are made of upscale fabrics or have a special design. For example, organic cotton crib sheets cost approximately $40.
If you have concerns about the crib sheets coming undone by your baby's movements, you might consider a special safety crib sheet that runs about $20-$25. These safety crib sheets go on the mattress like a pillowcase in order to prevent suffocation or strangulation.
Decide in advance what's important to you. This will help you select crib sheets that will help both you and your baby get a good night's rest. |
