Your baby's bedding influences his sleep, so it is important that your child is very comfortable in his bed. Bonsoirs offers you everything you need to accompany him to sweet dreams: duvets, cozy bed sets with tender and childish patterns... Be careful, however: before the age of two, it is not recommended to use a duvet for your baby due to the risk of suffocation. You should prefer a sleeping bag, also called a sleeping bag, for your little one's nights. After the age of two, baby can leave his cot and sleep in a convertible bed. This is when you will need to choose your baby duvet. Here are three criteria to help you make the right choice for your bedding.
The size of the duvet
Around the age of two, your child is able to remove his sleeping bag on his own. This is a sign that he is ready to regulate his body temperature while he sleeps, so it is best to give him the choice of covering or uncovering himself during the night by opting for a duvet.
This change of blanket for sleeping is generally accompanied by a change of bed: baby moves to his big bed, which can be a convertible bed or simply an open bed. The size of your child's bed will determine the size of their duvet. There are baby duvets of different sizes, 60 x 120 cm for the first months, then 100 x 140 cm for older children.
You should still know that most baby mattresses have a standard size of 60x120 or 70x140. A 100x140 duvet is more appropriate provided you have an open bed, without bars, which allows it to spill outwards. If you choose to leave your little one in a small bed, this size is also sufficient to cover him during the night despite restless sleep . Even if your child fidgets, he or she will remain partially covered.
If you opt for a convertible bed with an extendable mattress that will accompany your child until adolescence, a standard size Bonsoirs duvet for one person will do the trick, that is to say 140x190 or 140x200. The excess duvets will not bother your child and you will be able to tuck them in correctly.
The warmth index of the duvet
This index is on a scale of 1 to 5. This selection criterion will vary depending on your region of residence and the season you are in. If you live in a warm region, in other words where the temperature does not drop below 20°C at night, choose a light duvet with index 1. If you live in a colder region, where the night temperature is between 10°C and 20°C, you can choose an index 3 duvet. The ideal temperature for a child's bedroom is between 18°C and 20°C, so it is unlikely that your child will need 'a very warm index 5 duvet designed for temperatures below 10°C.
It should also be noted that some children feel warmer than others during the night. It's up to you to check if he's sweating profusely or if his hands and feet are cold. However, we advise you to take an index 3 baby duvet and to regulate your child's body temperature with more or less warm pajamas, with or without a bodysuit. A simple blanket can sometimes be enough in the summer. Cozy baby blankets are also great options. What matters is the comfort of your little one to avoid nocturnal awakenings!
The material of the duvet
There are several possible fillings, with synthetic or natural materials. The important thing is to ensure that the duvet does not contain any harmful substances and meets European safety standards. You will find this information on the label of the model of your choice. Bonsoirs duvets are all certified compliant.
Each material has its advantages and disadvantages: a synthetic duvet will be more soft and fluffy; while a cotton duvet will provide a greater feeling of envelopment due to its weight on the body. In any case, follow the care instructions and wash your duvet regularly to avoid allergies.
The same goes for the pillow: while babies and toddlers don't need a pillow, a two-year-old can use a flat or extra-flat pillow. It will be important to wash it regularly. For a larger child, from 6 years old, you can opt for a synthetic pillow ultra-soft , as we have the secret at Bonsoirs.
All you have to do is find a pretty bedding set to make your baby's room a cocoon of softness conducive to peaceful nights ...
