Customer satisfaction is our goal Get rewarded for purchases Choosing linen for your baby's bed can be confusing the number of different sized baby beds available! 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).

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.

In conjunction with the University of Trinity College Dublin, ClevaFoam® has been specifically researched, engineered, designed and manufactured for babies. The complete ClevaFoam® range offers the ultimate in comfort, support and luxury for babies and toddlers. ClevaFoam® is scientifically proven to reduce the pressure on your baby's head by 50% and increase support by 80% and aid in the prevention of Plagiocephaly (Flat Head Syndrome). The added benefit of Airflow™ ensures moisture is drawn away and airflow is increased for the ultimate "Snugability". What is Plagiocephaly (Flat Head Syndrome)? Deformational Plagiocephaly, The medical condition more commonly known as 'Flat Head Syndrome'. Plagiocephaly affects many infants since the widespread introduction of placing babies to sleep on their backs in order to prevent cot death (SIDS).
Torticollis is another condition that can also lead to the Flat Head Syndrome. Due to the nature of the condition, which is a tight or shortened muscle in one side of your baby's neck causing the head to tilt or turn to one side, resulting in the infant resting its head in the same position and therefore becoming flattened at that point. What is ClevaFoam® made of? ClevaFoam® is made from low resilience polyurethane foam. Is ClevaFoam® the same as memory foam? No, they share many features but have one great difference, namely the cell structure. Standard or normal memory foam is usually a closed cell structure which makes it heavy, dense, with reduced airflow causing it to retain and build up heat. ClevaFoam® is made with an open cell structure thereby making it lighter, more breathable, with reduced heat retention. What age is ClevaFoam® suitable from and to? ClevaFoam® products can be used from birth, with the upper age limit depending on the product ClevaFoam® is used in.
For example, the ClevaFoam® Baby Pillow can be used from birth but the Toddler Pillow is not recommended before 12 months. The ClevaSleep® Positioner is also made out of ClevaFoam® and can be used until the baby starts moving in their sleep, usually at around 5-6 months (this will vary from baby to baby). Is this pillow suitable to use with babies who suffer with asthma or allergies? Manufactured using Hypo-allergenic foam, it is PH balanced and toxin free making it suitable for babies who suffer with asthma and allergies and the removable cover allows for machine washing. The Airflow™ fabric, which draws away moisture and increases airflow, is Oeko-Tex 100 certified for babies. The fabric is also PH balanced and guaranteed to be gentle on your babies skin. Is ClevaFoam® itself washable and if so how? Hand wash using a mild detergent, allow to air dry on a flat surface. Yes, because of the manufacturing process and the open cell structure ClevaFoam® is breathable.
