Do you sell sheets that fit the Joey Baby Mattress? What bedding do you recommend?Updated 7 months ago
Koala does not sell matching sheets, but these are widely available from many retailers.
Please just make sure that your sheets are designed to fit a mattress of dimensions 132cm x 70cm and a thickness of between 11.4cm and 12.6cm in height.
Red Nose recommends the use of lightweight bedding made from natural fibres such as cotton, or a safe infant sleeping bag with baby’s arms out, well fitted around the neck and chest and with no hood, or a lightweight blanket, firmly tucked in and pulled up only to baby’s chest height.
Remember that the baby should always be placed on their back to sleep, with their feet at the bottom of the cot. Never place additional layers or folded blankets on top of the mattress – this makes the surface too soft and increases the risk of baby overheating or suffocating.
Never place additional items in the cot such as bumpers, pillows, toys, lambswool or bulky bedding – this significantly increases the risk of sudden infant death.
