Best Cots & Cot Beds — Brushed Cotton (2026)

Absolutely! Brushed cotton is an excellent choice for newborns due to its incredibly soft texture which is gentle on delicate skin. The material’s breathability also helps prevent overheating, a common concern with new babies.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the label – typically this involves washing at low temperatures (30°C or less) and using a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals and tumble drying, as these can damage the fibres.

Brushed cotton is prone to slight shrinkage, especially on first washes. Washing in cold water and line drying will minimise this effect. Always check the care label for specific recommendations.

Yes, brushed cotton is generally considered hypoallergenic as it doesn’t contain synthetic fibres that can trap allergens. However, individual sensitivities vary; always consult a pediatrician if you have concerns.

We currently offer brushed cotton cot beds ranging from 70cm x 135cm to 80cm x 140cm. Please check the product description for specific dimensions before purchasing to ensure a good fit for your room.

Yes, you can absolutely use a fitted sheet underneath the brushed cotton cover. This provides extra protection and prevents the duvet from slipping off, ensuring a neat and tidy look.

While durable, repeatedly washing at high temperatures will inevitably cause wear over time. These sets are generally well-suited for one child but may require replacement after several washes or if heavily soiled.

We offer a range of colours including classic white, grey, and pastel shades like pale blue and pink. Please see the individual product listings for detailed colour variations.

Brushed cotton is prized for its superior softness and breathability compared to many synthetic fabrics. It’s a natural alternative that's gentle on sensitive skin and provides optimal comfort during sleep.

This can sometimes happen with new, heavily brushed cotton. Ensure you are using a mild detergent without added fragrances or dyes. A second wash at a lower temperature usually resolves this issue.
