- Waterproof sheet with elastic band... This special category includes baby bedding that does not allow moisture to penetrate deep into the mattress.
Colors
Experts suggest that you should choose calm, monochromatic shades of bedding that will harmoniously blend with the interior of the room.
Here are some recommendations from design professionals.
- If you have wallpaper or other types of finishes with large prints, bedding sets should not have bright colors. Otherwise, the color accents will be washed out.
A good example is the Scandinavian style, in which white, light and dark linen look harmoniously.
- With a soft design, the berth can play the role of a central accent.
Color solutions can be varied, which allows the modern textile industry. For children's rooms, there are various options for multi-colored products with mysterious fairy-tale and space prints that contribute to the quick and calm falling asleep of children.
How to choose a set with a sheet?
When choosing a product, the main emphasis should be placed on its dimensions. It should fit securely to the mattress - all sizes are important here. The best option would be if the height of the sheet is with a small allowance, for bending from the back of the mattress. So, with a mattress with dimensions of 160x200x20 cm, a sheet with parameters of at least 160x200x25 cm will be just right.
Determining the dimensions of the product, it is assumed that it should be hidden under the canvas from 4 sides.
That's why the current formula will look like this: "mattress width + 2 heights = sheet width"; "Mattress length + 2 heights = sheet length"... Nevertheless, if possible, insure yourself, you should purchase the canvas with a certain margin, since it shrinks, especially during the first wash. In addition, the actual dimensions can be obtained by reading the label, where the required data is usually indicated by the manufacturer.
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing products.
- Materials (edit)... Sheets with elastic bands are sewn from similar classic materials. Therefore, natural fabrics remain a priority, they "breathe" productively and do not cause allergic manifestations. Their practicality remains a relevant factor - durability and ease of maintenance. Some useful qualities of certain species are also relevant. So, the smooth, sliding surfaces of satin and satin create a feeling of coolness, it is time to use them in hot summer.
Flannel, coarse calico and terry products are more suitable for cool weather. Children's sleep accessories are subject to stringent conditions for safety and environmental friendliness, air permeability and hygroscopicity, the level of heat transfer, comfort, and ease of care.
For obvious reasons, only cotton is used when sewing children's accessories.
- Exterior design and quality of tailoring... Here are relevant: strong threads, the degree of accuracy of the seams, the absence of marriage. Of course, the product should look beautiful, harmonize in color and patterns with other elements of the bed.
- Price... The bedding accessories that we have been in contact with for a relatively long time are not the items on which to save money. Inexpensive products often lack quality, they soon become unusable, negatively affecting our health. Low prices often indicate the use of synthetics in the manufacture of fabrics.
Therefore, when buying products, you should be interested in quality certificates, and if they are absent, it is better to hold onto your resources.
It is useful to be guided by a number of selection criteria.
- Study the labels for the dimensional values of the products. They reflect the overall parameters of the canvases, and the height of the stitched corner is often indicated. If there is no information, then, by expanding the element, estimate the parameters visually.
- Attention should be paid to the fabric of the product.
- Evaluate the type and quality of the stitches, if the seams begin to diverge when pulling, then it is better to refuse such a product, it will need to be redone. The best sewing option is a double stitching with medium-sized stitches. We also check the absence of wrinkles, folds, cuts and threads in the fold areas.
- We recommend taking textiles from trusted brands.
- It is important to check the quality of the elastic. Latex elastic bands can crack and soon stretch after washing, and therefore it will not be possible to tighten the product reliably. Holders in such cases will not save the situation, therefore it is necessary to check both the thickness and width of the elastic, as well as the ability of its contraction after stretching.
- After checking the quality of the goods, they are determined with its colors.
