What bedding do you need for a cot?

For cots and rest beds, the base usually starts with well-fitted cot sheets and light bedding suited to the baby’s daily routine. Cotton is the main fabric, valued for its soft feel, breathable surface and easy care. A mattress protector can help keep the base fresh, while spare textiles make changes easier during the week. In the nursery, folded bedding, storage baskets and soft cushions placed outside the cot can keep the space practical and balanced.

How do I choose the right cot sheets?

Choose cot sheets by checking the mattress size, the type of fit and the feel of the fabric against the skin. A fitted design helps create a smooth sleeping surface, while washable cotton is useful for frequent changes. Zara Home cot sheets include plain tones, stripes and small prints that coordinate easily with cots and rest beds, allowing the nursery to feel simple, neutral and well arranged.

What size are cot sheets?

Cot sheets should correspond to the exact mattress measurements of each cot or rest bed. As a general reference, Zara Home fitted cot sheets usually measure 75 x 100 cm, while cot blankets usually measure 70 x 100 cm. Before choosing, review the product details and check both length and width, as formats can vary. A correct fit helps the sheet sit flat without excess fabric and keeps cots and rest beds easy to prepare.

What cot accessories are useful for a nursery?

Useful cot accessories are those that support everyday care without adding unnecessary volume. Mattress protectors, spare cot sheets, light covers and textile organisers can make the routine more fluid. Zara Home also includes nursery pieces such as baskets, cushions and decorative items that help organise nearby surfaces while keeping the cot clear. Combined with cots and rest beds, these cot accessories create a practical, coordinated baby area.
