Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets - Organic Cot Sheets Australia for Sensitive and Eczema-Prone Skin

Bamboo Bubby by Nella Vosk was born out of desperation. My own little one had eczema, and after countless nights of broken sleep, scratched skin, and trying every cream and clothing brand we could find, I knew there had to be a gentler way to help babies like mine sleep through the night without scratching. So I created the original Bamboo Bubby Sleeping Bag — designed by a mum who'd been there, made from gentle bamboo with covered hands to help protect delicate skin while babies sleep.

These bamboo cot sheets were created with the same philosophy — because every layer touching your baby's skin matters. If you're in the thick of it right now, I see you. I'm so glad you're here.

My baby's cheeks are raw from rubbing on the cot sheet. What's gentler?

Babies with itchy cheeks rub their faces on whatever is under them. Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets have a smooth, silky sateen surface in 100% organic bamboo, so there's less rough texture under her face. Keep her nails short and follow her skin routine. If her skin is weeping, bleeding or getting worse, see your GP or child health nurse.

My toddler wakes up sweaty and scratching. Could his cot sheets be too hot?

Many children itch more when they overheat. Bamboo breathes and wicks moisture, so Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets feel less clammy than synthetic sheets. Dress him for the room, keep the room comfortable, and check his chest or the back of his neck to make sure he isn't too hot.

We change the cot sheet every day because of nappy leaks and creams. Will bamboo last?

Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets are pre-shrunk and made for frequent washing. Wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. Skip bleach and fabric softener. Line dry in the shade or tumble dry low. Keep two or three in rotation so a clean sheet is ready at 2am.

Our cot sheets pull off the corners and bunch under my baby. What fits better?

A firm, flat fit matters for safe sleep. The fitted sheet in Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets measures 135 x 77 cm with a 20cm pocket, so it wraps under a standard Australian cot mattress. Check the sheet sits tight and smooth with no loose fabric each time you make the cot.

Will they fit my cot?

Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets fit standard Australian cots and toddler beds. Each set has 1 fitted sheet, 1 flat sheet and 1 pillowcase. The fitted sheet measures 135 x 77 cm with a 20cm pocket, and the flat sheet measures 160 x 140 cm. Measure your mattress first. For an imported or non-standard cot, email info@nellavosk.com.au before you buy.

Will they fit a bassinet or portacot?

No. They're sized for a standard cot mattress. A sheet too big for the mattress leaves loose fabric, which isn't safe for a sleeping baby. Use sheets made to fit your bassinet or portacot mattress, and keep the bamboo cot sheets for the cot and the toddler bed.

What colours are there?

Seven colours: Sage Green, White, Ice Blue, Silver Shimmer, Charcoal, Aqua Splash and Blush Pink. Choose with the selector above Add to Cart. White and Silver Shimmer suit any nursery, while Sage Green, Aqua Splash and Blush Pink add a soft splash of colour to Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets.

Are bamboo cot sheets warm enough in winter?

Yes, with the right sleepwear. The cot sheet sits under your baby, so warmth comes from what they wear. In winter, dress your baby in a sleeping bag with a TOG to suit the room. The Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag with Scratch Sleeves is a light 1 to 1.5 TOG for mild rooms.

Can my baby sleep on them with creams on?

Yes. Apply creams, give them a few minutes to soak in, then dress your baby. Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets feel smooth on cream-covered skin. Thick creams build up in any fabric, so wash the sheets more often in heavy cream weeks. Avoid fabric softener, as it coats the bamboo fibres.

How do I fit the cot sheet safely?

Pull each corner of the fitted sheet under the mattress, one at a time, then smooth it flat. The sheet should be tight with no loose fabric. Follow Red Nose safe sleep advice: baby on their back, face and head uncovered, and no pillows, bumpers or soft toys in the cot.

How do I wash bamboo cot sheets?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild liquid detergent. No bleach and no fabric softener. Line dry in the shade or tumble dry low. Iron on the lowest setting if you want. A fragrance-free detergent suits eczema-prone skin best, and Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets soften with each wash.

What are they made of?

Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets are 100% organic bamboo, woven as a 400 thread count sateen. There's no polyester and no synthetic blend. The fabric is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, which means it has been tested for harmful substances. It's pre-shrunk, so it keeps its fit after washing.

Are they safe for newborns?

Yes, when the sheet fits your cot mattress firmly. Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets are designed for delicate, eczema-prone baby skin. Check the fitted sheet is tight and flat. If you use the flat sheet, tuck it in firmly at the sides and place your baby's feet at the bottom of the cot, as Red Nose advises.

What does OEKO-TEX Standard 100 mean for my baby?

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 means the fabric has been tested for harmful substances. That's one less thing to worry about for a fabric touching your baby's skin for hours each day. The softness comes from the sateen weave of Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets, so they feel smooth from the first night.

Bamboo or cotton cot sheets for a baby with eczema?

Both are natural fibres. Bamboo sateen feels smoother and silkier than standard cotton, and bamboo breathes and wicks moisture. For a baby who rubs her face or runs warm, Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets are a gentle choice. If cotton already suits your baby well, there's no need to change.

Do I still need scratch sleeves with bamboo cot sheets?

Yes, if your baby scratches. Soft sheets change the surface under your baby, but they don't keep little hands off skin. Bamboo Bubby Eczema Mitten Sleeves cover hands and arms day and night. With Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets underneath, every layer touching your baby is gentle.

Do cot sheets replace a sleeping bag?

No. A cot sheet covers the mattress. A sleeping bag keeps your baby warm without loose blankets. Use both: Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets underneath, and a sleeping bag on your baby. For a baby who scratches at night, the Bamboo Bubby Baby Sleeping Bag with Scratch Sleeves keeps hands covered.

How many cot sheets do I need?

Two or three. Nappy leaks, reflux and night creams mean cot sheets get changed often. With a spare set of Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets in the drawer, a 2am change takes a minute, and the next set dries while your baby sleeps.

Are they a good baby shower gift?

Yes, especially for a family with a history of eczema or sensitive skin. Bamboo Bubby Bamboo Cot Sheets are practical and used every day. Pair them with Bamboo Bubby Eczema Mitten Sleeves in newborn to 6 months, or the Bamboo Bubby Nap Ninja Bamboo Baby Bodysuit, for a gentle-skin starter gift.

What does delivery cost?
