Mulberry Silk Standard Cot Sheet
Before Silk, After Silk
Calmer Cheeks by Morning
Cotton can rub and chafe delicate cheeks overnight. Silk’s glass-smooth surface lets skin rest without rubbing, and calmer mornings follow.

Smooth Hair Mornings
Bedtime friction turns fine baby hair into morning knots. On silk, hair glides instead of catching, so brushing is quick and tear-free.

Protect Those First Curls
The back-and-forth rubbing of a cot mattress can wear away soft newborn hair. Silk lowers that friction, helping tiny bald patches fill back in.

The questions parents ask most
Still not sure which size you need? Message our UK team
Which size do I need?
Measure your mattress and match it to the size in the buy box above. Bedside cribs and bassinets take the 83 × 53 cm sheet, standard cots take 120 × 60 cm, and cot beds take 140 × 70 cm. If you are between sizes, message us before you order.
Is silk safe for a baby?
Our silk is OEKO-TEX certified, which means it has been independently tested and found free from a long list of harmful substances. The sheet is fitted with elasticated edges so it stays put on the mattress, and it should be used the same way you would use any fitted sheet, following your cot manufacturer's safer-sleep guidance.
How do I wash it?
Cold machine wash at 30°C in a delicates bag, on a gentle cycle, with a mild detergent and no bleach or fabric softener. Hang to dry away from direct heat. Silk is far less fragile than its reputation suggests — ours go through the machine every week.
Will it really help with hair?
Silk is a low-friction surface, so hair slides across it instead of catching and rubbing the way it does on cotton. That is why silk pillowcases are so widely used by adults. For babies, who turn their heads constantly against the same patch of sheet, less friction means less pulling on very fine new hair.
Won't silk make my baby too hot?
The opposite. Silk is naturally temperature regulating: it moves heat away in summer and holds a gentle warmth in winter, without the clammy feeling cotton can leave behind. It is one of the main reasons parents tell us their little one stops waking up damp.
What if it is not right?
Unopened items can be returned within 14 days. If something arrives faulty or is not what you expected, email our UK team and we will sort it out.
Why silk, and why this silk
Built for delicate sleepers
Cotton is woven from short, rough fibres that drag. Mulberry silk is one long, smooth filament — which is why it behaves so differently against new skin and first hair.

Why Choose Sleepy Teddy
The Sleepy Teddy Standard
Why 22 Momme Mulberry Silk?
The Sleepy Teddy Standard
Why 22 Momme Mulberry Silk?
Naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites, mulberry silk is a gentle choice for babies from their very first nights. Our bedside crib sheets bring that calm right next to your bed.
Momme measures the density of woven silk, and more silk per square metre means a smoother, more durable sheet. Our standard cot sheets carry all 22 Momme through countless naps, wriggles and washes.
Cot bed years are busy years, and 22 Momme silk holds its smooth, gentle finish through all of them. Each sheet is generously cut for little ones who are growing fast.
