Here's our quick guide to sizes and tips for helping you find linen on our website. Bassinets are available in a range of sizes. The most common is the 76 x 40cm size, which is used by a number of brands including Cariboo. Please check your mattress size before ordering to ensure it will fit the linen you order.
All our bassinet linen at The Sleep Store will fit a Cariboo or other 76 x 40cm bassinet. We have a range of bassinet mattresses in stock and can also order in custom sized foam bassinet matttresses, please allow 3 weeks for manufacture and delivery. We sell the Natures Sway hammocks, which have a mattress size of 87 x 34cm. You can use most FLAT bassinet sheets in a hammock or the specific Natures Sway brand of sheets. Regular fitted bassinet sheets are too short, as they are generally designed for 76 or 80cm long mattresses. If you have a different hammock, please check the mattress size and check with us for suitable linen. These come in a range of sizes, generally either 71 x 36cm or the ecoBub measures 74 x 33cm. Please check on individual mattress size on your moses basket. You can use any bassinet sheets although most bassinet are square ended rather than the oval shape of a moses basket mattress. Babu oval bassinet sheets are another good option.
The Stokke Mini is an oval shaped bassinet, part of the Stokke cot package. We recommend the Babu Oval bassinet sheets for this bassinet. Cradles are more common in Australia than New Zealand, and are basically a large bassinet. These come in a range of different sizes, so please check your specific mattress size before ordering linen. We recommend the Living Textiles range of specific cradle linen, which is suitable for cradle mattresses up to 47 x 92cm. This is the old standard size cot in New Zealand and is also called a Euro cot as it is common in the UK. The NZ standard cot mattress measures 59 x 119cm or 60 x 120cm. These are very uncommon in NZ now apart from older, hand me down cots. While they are called 'standard', they are now far from standard! We can no longer source any linen specific for this size. Choose any cot linen for an American sized cot and it will fit fine (just the fitted sheet will be a little big and you can tuck in the excess).
Replacement cot mattresses can be ordered in foam only, no innersprung are available in this size. This is the most common size in New Zealand for cots. The measurement is usually 130 x 69cm, with a little variation such as 68 x 129 etc. All cot linen available from The Sleep Store will fit an American size cot. We do stock some items for large or Boori cot, which will also fot an American Cot (the fiited sheets will be a little big and the excess can easily be tucked in). Both innersprung and foam mattress can easily be ordered in this American Cot Size. This large cot size is much less common in New Zealand but relatively common in Australia. Please check measurements on linen before ordering, as not all our linen will fit this size. Boori cot mattresses are usually approx 77 x 132-135cm or variations around that. All cot sheets from Living Textiles, aden+anais and Babu will fit a large or Boori Cot. Baby First and American Baby Co sheets will NOT fit a Boori sized cot.
This size is very uncommon in NZ and Australia. Very hard to source linen in this size, click here for any available options. Mattresses are only availble in foam. Please enquire of not in stock on our website, we can easily have this size made for you. No innersprung mattresses available in NZ in this size, you would need to import from the UK.As a soon-to-be mother, I’m in a bit of a pickle. Since we have a small budget and a smaller apartment, my husband and I purchased a used co-sleeper. It came with a polyurethane foam mattress bearing the telltale tag: It had been treated with fire retardants. My choices, as far as I can tell, are to 1) Keep the original mattress and live with the mom-guilt that’s already building. 2) Wrap the mattress in polyethylene. Some research out of New Zealand suggests this might reduce off-gassing. But does this even work? 3) Buy the bassinet manufacturer’s replacement organic mattress. It isn’t leak-proof, so I’d have to also fashion some kind of baby excretion barrier for this non-standard mattress.
What should I do? Help a soon-to-be mother get some sleep. Lord knows I’ll need it soon! Nobody ever said parenting was easy — a lesson you’re learning well before you’re technically even parenting. But it takes a village, and you can consider me the cheerful village apothecary. Or maybe the village blacksmith-slash-doctor? Or the shopkeep at the village nontoxic mattress store? You may well be in for some sleep deprivation when your chip off the old block arrives, but let’s do our best to make sure baby’s mattress, at least, isn’t one of the reasons. Alas, flame retardants are scary enough to make anyone sleepless. As you probably know, these chemicals — routinely found in furniture, car interiors, and adult as well as crib mattresses — have been linked to a host of health problems, including cancer. The adorably tiny size of babies and children, plus the fact that they’re still developing, makes them particularly vulnerable to flame retardants: In our zeal to protect them from fire, we have mandated the use of chemicals that pose health threats including developmental problems, hormone disruption, hyperactivity, and other behavioral issues.
The good news is policymakers and manufacturers are coming around on this issue; in a few generations, with any luck, we will not knowingly poison ourselves quite as often as we do today. In the meantime, it’s no wonder you’re about ready to weave your own bassinet cushion out of reeds. Given the potential risks, I’m going to advise you not to choose option 1, which was to keep the darn thing and feel guilty. I’m usually a big fan of secondhand shopping, but we know this item is laced with chemicals, and mattresses can offgas for years. Though I can already hear the chorus of “I slept on a toxic baby mattress and I turned out just fine,” I don’t see why we should perpetuate this toxic cycle. This brings us to option 2: Find a way to block the chemicals. You’re right that some people argue a thick, food-grade polyethylene cover will solve the problem by trapping flame retardants and other yucky things like fungus inside. Food-grade polyethylene is considered one of the safer plastics, and it works well (albeit loudly, they say) as a waterproof cover.
But I couldn’t find any scientific data to back up the anecdotal evidence that such a cover actually works, and some experts caution that noxious chemicals can probably seep out of seams and other tiny holes. So while this solution might provide short-term peace of mind, I think we’re zooming toward option 3: Use a new mattress. If the manufacturer’s suggested replacement is made of natural materials, such as organic cotton or (naturally flame-resistant) wool, you might want to spring for it if you possibly can — though doublecheck to make sure it hasn’t been treated with any weird chemicals. “Organic” doesn’t automatically mean chemical-free. As far as making it leakproof, that food-grade polyethylene seems like a good bet. Please don’t use other plastics, which pose health risks of their own. For you and other parents-to-be, Johanna, the good news is that we have more nontoxic crib mattresses than ever on the market. Look for tags that specify the mattress meets TB 117-2013, a new law that is easing us out of this chemical-reliant mess.
And though I stick to my brand agnosticism as much as possible, I’m hearing good things about this waterproof infant mattress, and this list can also get you started. You might also check Etsy, where some enterprising people are selling mattresses of wool and cotton, or try your hand at making your own to fit your co-sleeper. (If you go DIY, just avoid foam, which introduces even more chemicals into the mix.) A chem-free night’s sleep doesn’t always come cheap. But when you consider that infants might spend 12 hours a day or more napping on their mattresses, then add to that the value of your own peace of mind, this is one investment that seems likely to pay off over time. Perhaps the best thing to do would be to pass this column on to your parent/sibling/friend/favorite coworker and have that person make this a priority at your baby shower. Hey, that’s what these procreative rituals are for, right?Did you know babies will fall asleep on top of you, on top of any warm body, on the floor, in a box, on the grass, in a swing, or even at a bowling alley?
