Setting up your baby’s nursery is a special part of preparing for parenthood—and choosing the right baby bedding is key to creating a space that’s not only comfortable, but also safe, practical and beautiful. From fitted sheets to mattress protectors and cosy blankets and sleeping bags, the essentials you place in your baby’s cot make a big difference to their sleep environment.
Whether you're getting ready to welcome a newborn or updating the nursery for a growing little one, this guide will walk you through the baby bedding essentials every parent should consider—featuring Boori's thoughtfully curated nursery bedding range.
The Foundations: Fitted Sheets and Mattress Protectors
A good night’s sleep starts with a supportive, well-covered mattress. That means investing in quality fitted sheets and mattress protectors tailored to your cot or bassinet size.
Mattress Protectors
These are essential for keeping your cot mattress clean and dry, especially during nappy leaks or overnight accidents. Boori’s mattress protectors are made from soft, breathable materials and fitted to stay securely in place. They help extend the life of your mattress and ensure a hygienic sleep surface for your baby.

Fitted Sheets
Choose jersey cotton or organic cotton sheets that are soft against sensitive skin. Elasticised edges help keep them snugly in place, reducing the risk of bunching or slipping.

Safe Sleep First

-
Use a firm, well-fitting mattress

Dress your baby in a fitted sleepsuit or swaddle instead of using loose blankets for overnight sleep
-
Ensure sheets fit tightly with no excess fabric
