Features and criteria for the selection of children's satin bedding

For the growth and development of the child, proper sleep plays an important role. In order for the little one to be in comfortable conditions during sleep, you need to responsibly approach the purchase of items for sleep. Serious requirements are put forward for the fabrics that are used in the sewing of children's bedding. But the presence of matter is so huge that it sometimes baffles even experienced parents.

First, even before purchasing baby bedding, it makes sense to think carefully about what quality characteristics it should have.

The main characteristics that baby underwear should have are as follows.

1. Security is perhaps the main criterion. The tissues that are in the immediate vicinity of the baby should not contain any poisonous and toxic compounds that can cause various allergic reactions and other diseases.
2. The laundry should absorb moisture well. In a dream, the child sweats or some other unpleasant phenomenon characteristic of his age may occur to him. Therefore, it is necessary that the fabric absorbs all the liquid, and the baby is comfortable.
3. The fabric should have good air permeability and good heat dissipation. This is necessary for the baby's skin to breathe. And it would be nice if in a hot period the material cools significantly, and in a cool period, on the contrary, it gives off its warmth and warms the baby.
4. It is undesirable for the fabric for children's sets to be with the addition of synthetics. It is good if it has color stability. Usually, sleeping clothes for babies have juicy shades, so you need to be sure that the paint does not end up on the skin of the crumbs on the first night of use.
5. It would be nice if the linen is durable and wear-resistant.

Since the child's bed linen is washed more often than the parents' linen, a very durable material is needed that would withstand frequent washings and does not lose its quality. At the same time, matter is needed that does not wrinkle much, because folds will cause inconvenience to the crumbs, and imprinted on its thin skin, will cause various negative processes. It's pretty good when the elements that make up the bedding set are easy to wash, dry and iron.

The aesthetics of bed linen also plays an important role, since children love to study ornaments on linen, so the drawings should attract attention, but at the same time be not very pretentious.

After analyzing all the above factors, we can conclude that better materials for children's underwear are fabrics that contain cotton and linen. After all, they include all the necessary qualities in order to make the baby's sleep serene.

These fabrics include satin - a fabric that has a beautiful appearance and a silk composition, which makes it look like satin. Due to the fact that the fibers of this fabric are intertwined in a special way, it is very resistant to wear and tear.

Satin is attractive not only for its external qualities, but also because it absorbs moisture well and does not wrinkle. A rather high price is considered a negative feature, but it quickly pays off.

Another type of fabric for baby bedding is mako-satin., for the production of which high quality cotton is used, which does not contain any foreign inclusions.The fabric is highly durable and has a glossy front and a matte back.

When choosing bed linen, you must also take into account the sizes of the components of the set. A 1.5-bed set is perfect for a child. It includes a sheet, duvet cover and two pillowcases.

Now, having decided on the matter, you need to make a mistake with the colors, sizes and the number of component parts. To do this, you can use helpful tips.

1. When choosing the colors of the kit for a newly born or one-year-old child, it is good to focus on discreet shades and colors. A large drawing is not needed here, but small images of fabulous animals or toys are well suited. Very flashy drawings will not let the little one sleep peacefully. For older children, you can purchase a linen set with characters from children's cartoons.
2. When buying bedding for children, you need to constantly think about its reliability. The edges of all items included in the kit should be well finished, and the kit itself should not have unnecessary seams. Here, special attention should be paid to the duvet cover, or rather, how it is sewn. In the event that he has a window into which the blanket is tucked in, then the baby can accidentally get in there and get confused.
3. Usually children under one year of age sleep without a pillow, so you don't need a lot of pillowcases here. The same is with duvet covers, because they do not get dirty so often, but a larger sheet is needed. The optimal solution may be to purchase a pair of whole sets and a few more separate sheets.
4. It is necessary to accurately select the size of the bedding in the crib, you need it to be suitable in relation to the mattress, blanket and pillow. Otherwise, the bed will begin to bunch up and wrinkle into folds, which causes unwanted reactions on the skin of children. The sheet should not hang almost to the floor, because for the baby it is dangerous because he gets tangled in it and can fall and hit. The edges need to be tucked under the mattress, and the best option here would be to purchase a sheet with an elastic band.
5. Lacy bedding sets with convex parts are undesirable for children, so that there are no marks on the child's skin.

An alternative to purchased baby kits can be do-it-yourself underwear. First you need to pick up the matter. Fabrics of restrained colors are suitable so that this will help the baby calm down and fall asleep soon. At a time when the child becomes older, he will be able to participate in the selection of fabric for his bed. He will surely like the images of the characters of his favorite cartoons.

Usually, most of the material is sold in rolls 2 meters 20 centimeters wide. And therefore, it will not be difficult to determine the consumption of fabric. It is enough to take any piece of bedding and attach the width to the width of the fabric. When cutting, any fabric is folded in half, so that in order to sew a set, there will be enough of such a roll. But you need to remember that although a self-made kit will be unique, it takes a lot of time and effort.

When arranging a bed, you need to remember that you need to organize it so that the child is provided with the necessary sleep. The bed should be soft, the blanket should be light, and the linen should be in attractive colors and absolutely safe for the child. Then nothing will prevent the baby from seeing only sweet dreams.
