About the collection

A pram sheet keeps the carrycot mattress clean and feels soft against your baby's skin. Elasticated sheets stay in place and don't wrinkle. Check the carrycot mattress dimensions before ordering.

The full description

Pram Sheets are practical kids' room textiles that help keep babies comfortable and the sleeping surface clean, both at home and when using a pram. This selection includes fitted sheets and soft fastening options that stay in place on the mattress and help prevent the sheet from slipping. There is a choice of materials, including bamboo viscose and cotton, which are also suitable for more sensitive skin. Pram sheets are primarily intended for babies

and toddlers, but the same solution also works when children use a cradle, car seat or carrycot. An important selection criterion is the right size (e.g. 80x50 cm for a pram or 90x40 cm for a cradle) and whether the sheet suits the height of a particular basket or sleeping surface. Functional features are also useful: the material may help maintain temperature balance, while printed patterns make kids' room textiles feel coordinated.

Pram Sheets for Babies and Toddlers

Pram sheets are designed to provide babies with a comfortable, breathable sleeping surface in a pram, cradle or car seat. The elasticated edge keeps the sheet securely in place, preventing the textile from rolling up or slipping off the mattress during use. Children are active, and caring for the bed and carrycot is part of the daily routine, so a secure fit is important.

The focus in this category is on practical sizing and materials. Some sheets are a universal size for prams, while others are designed for specific options such as a Moses basket or different cradles. This makes it easier to choose textiles for the nursery and everyday use.

Materials that are also suitable for more sensitive skin

The choice of material for pram sheets is one of the most important considerations for a child's comfort. Bamboo viscose sheets are known for their softness and gentle feel, making them a good choice for those who may find ordinary fabrics irritating. Cotton and cotton-blend fitted sheets are also breathable and suitable for everyday use.

The texture of the knit also plays a part. Jersey bedding for a cradle is stretchy and soft to the touch, helping the sheet fit securely and keeping the tension even. Printed patterns (e.g. boho, animal themes or sky and floral motifs) make it possible to coordinate kids' room textiles in neutral or softer shades.

How to choose the right pram sheet size and fit

The right size helps prevent the sheet from being too loose or from failing to cover the sleeping surface adequately. When choosing, consider exactly where the sheet will go: in a pram, Moses basket, cradle or car seat. The height of the mattress or base is often important too, as the elasticated edge needs to fasten securely.

  • Size and fit: for example, a pram size (e.g. 80x50 cm) or options for a cradle/car seat (e.g. 90x40 cm).
  • Mattress height: the fitted sheet should extend far enough over the edges to stay in place.
  • Material: bamboo viscose for a soft feel and temperature balance; cotton for breathability and classic everyday use; jersey for a stretchy fit.
  • Use: everyday pram rides, sleeping at home, or use in a car seat or carrycot.

Practical care and everyday use

Pram sheets are used frequently, so caring for them is part of the daily routine. Fitted sheets are designed for repeated use, and retaining their texture and stretch helps keep them just as comfortable next time. The choice of material also affects how the skin responds to the sheet, so softer-feeling fabrics are worth choosing if skin is sensitive.

If your baby sleeps in different places, pram sheets are also a convenient option for a rotation of spare sheets. Using the same size helps keep routines consistent at home and on the go, with a suitable colour or pattern close at hand.

When should you choose a pram sheet?

  • If you need a sheet for your baby's pram that stays in place and provides a comfortable sleeping surface.
  • If you are looking for textiles to cover a Moses basket or sleeping surface and want a secure fit.
  • If your child uses a cradle or car seat, where the elasticated edge helps the sheet keep its shape.
  • If breathability and a soft feel against the skin are important, especially for more sensitive skin.

Pram sheets are part of kids' room textiles, combining practicality and style. Choosing the right material, size and colour makes it easier to keep your child's surroundings tidy and comfortable, both at home and on the go.
