1. Cheerful patterns for the children's room
Children's bedding can feature cheerful patterns and bright colours to create a playful, child-friendly room. Designs from byGraziela or Ferm Living offer a lovely selection. If you'd prefer a calm, harmonious room for sleeping, choose plain children's bedding instead, for example from Georg Jensen Damask.
2. Children's bedding sizes
Children's bedding is much smaller than adult bedding and is made to fit the corresponding mattress size. The standard size for duvet covers is 100 x 135/140 cm, while pillowcase sizes vary depending on the manufacturer. Common sizes are 40 x 60 cm or 40 x 45 cm.
Toddlers sleep best in even smaller bedding with a duvet size of 70 x 100 cm. The matching pillow size is 40 x 45 cm.

3. The perfect material for children's bedding
With children's bedding in particular, it's worth choosing an easy-care material. Cotton is especially suitable, as it can be washed at high temperatures. Cotton is also a very good choice for people with house dust allergies, as mites cannot penetrate high-quality woven cotton bedding. What's more, cotton drapes beautifully and feels pleasantly light on the skin.
Linen is a lovely alternative to cotton. This fine material, made from the flax plant, absorbs moisture quickly and dries just as fast. It feels pleasantly cool and airy on the skin, which makes it the perfect material for summer.
4. How to care for children's bedding
The right care is key to making sure children can enjoy their bedding for as long as possible. Here are some helpful care tips.
How often should you change bedding?
Textiles are everyday items – and they're used every day. Up to eight hours of sleep is normal, and children sleep even longer. During this time, the body releases moisture and sheds skin flakes. For hygienic sleep, wash the bed linen roughly every two weeks. However, this depends on your own standards of hygiene and sleeping habits.
How to wash and dry bedding:
Cotton and linen can withstand high temperatures – but with colourful children's bedding, take care to protect the colours. In this case, 40 °C may be the right choice. When drying, it's important to hang the sheets and covers up carefully and smoothly; otherwise, linen quickly develops unsightly creases. Many of our covers are also suitable for the tumble dryer – please check the care instructions on the product pages.
Why you should wash bedding inside out:
Textiles gradually lose their colour intensity, especially at high washing temperatures. To preserve the colours of your bedding, it's best to wash the covers inside out. You should also close any zips before washing – this prevents smaller items from getting caught inside the cover or snagging on the zip.
5. Summary
- Colourful bedding with cheerful patterns is perfect for the children's room. For a calm atmosphere at bedtime, a plain look is a good choice.
- Children's duvet covers measure 100 x 135/140 cm. The matching pillowcase is 40 x 60 cm.
- Children's bedding should be made of an easy-care material. Cotton is particularly suitable because it can be washed at high temperatures, absorbs moisture well and is gentle on the skin.
