Guides to Choosing the

Best Quilt

For a child to grow and flourish in the best possible conditions, your child first and foremost needs a comfortable and restful night’s sleep. It is essential to ensure that you provide a suitable environment made up of many elements such as a quality mattress, a bed suitable for its age and size, or even an ergonomic pillow. A quilt can also be known as a “duvet.”

But one of the essential accessories is Baby’s quilt, which must sufficiently cover without being too warm. And we must admit that choosing a baby’s quit is slightly more complex than choosing an adult duvet since there are more characteristics to consider.

To help you find the one that will allow your little one to rest optimally without you having to undertake long and tedious research, we will explain clearly and step by step how to choose a baby’s duvet. You will be able to find the best Baby’s duvet that best suits you, which will have the particular advantage of drastically reducing the risks of disappointment or dissatisfaction linked to your purchase.

Choosing Quilts for babies

To make choosing a baby’s duvet easy for you, we will list the five main criteria to consider. Note that the quality of a duvet is of paramount importance for your child’s excellent development and health, safety, and well-being.

When you start your research, be uncompromising and respect each of the characteristics that follow. Indeed, if a model interests you but does not meet all the conditions, we advise you to go your way and continue your research, which will have the effect of guaranteeing you satisfaction. As you can see, today there are dozens of products, each more different than the next.

Therefore, it is certain that there is at least one children’s duvet that will meet all of your expectations. Finally, before starting your research,

The Age of the Child

First of all, the first criterion that to be taken into account is your child’s age. Indeed, if you are looking for a baby duvet, the model to choose will not be the same as if your child is already six years old. And for a good reason, a child of several years will need a duvet that is more covering but also adapted to the size of his bed, a point to which we will come back later. Regarding the Baby, this is a question of comfort, but also safety. To continue its development serenely, the newborn will sleep many hours a day and should not be awake due to any discomfort whatsoever.

During the first months of his life, your little one will not have the reflex to push back the quilt if it bothers him or hangs on his face, which could cause the risk of suffocation. You will therefore have to be very careful when choosing a very light children’s duvet.

Most of the time, parents prefer sleeping bags, which are much more secure and just as covering. We advise you to wait at least the first birthday of your Baby to equip it with a duvet, while of course, knowing that your vigilance must be unwavering. Beyond that, it may be interesting for you to choose an all-season duvet that will allow your child to enjoy the same comfort whatever the time of year.

Dimensions of the Quilt

To find the perfect Baby’s duvet, you will need to take a look at its dimensions. You will have to focus on two different data: the size of your Baby and that of his bed. It will be vital for your child to sleep comfortably without being bothered by a too-large product or too small. Of course, a child grows up fast, hence the importance of choosing a duvet that will accompany him for several years, which will prevent you from having to buy this type of equipment every year.

Child Comforter

There isn’t a recommended duvet size; however, by opting for a standard 140 x 100 centimeter, you should be fine for a few years. There are also quilts with more specific dimensions, which you should choose if they match your child’s bed dimensions. However, we would like to point out that it can sometimes be challenging to find suitable bed linen.

The Weight of the Child’s Quilt

For adequate rest, your child must benefit from an adequate temperature at all times. The Baby must not be too hot or too cold. This requirement can be challenging to manage, especially if your home is sensitive to temperature variations. To offer the best sleeping conditions for your little one, you will therefore have to take a very close look at the weight of the duvets that interest you. The duvet should not be too thick. Otherwise, it can only be used in winter, nor too thin, in which case it would only be helpful to you during hot weather. Finding the right balance is, therefore, not as easy as it seems.

In concrete terms, we recommend that you choose a duvet with a grammage ideally between 200 and 300g / m², which allows it to be adapted to all seasons of the year. But as we will see, this grammage is not sufficient in itself since it must also be correlated with the materials used for its design.

Finally, know that there are some models, scarce, which are modular. A modular duvet allows you to change the weight according to the seasons, which can be practical in ensuring that you provide your child with the best possible comfort in any situation.

Quilt Materials

Most often, quilts are made from cotton or polyester. Of course, these two materials are very different from each other, and so are the benefits they offer. To help you see more clearly, we will present them to you separately, allowing you to make your choice much more quickly.

Cot quilt is necessary when putting a baby to sleep as it will protect them against temperature rise. Cot quilt and pillow offer a baby a comfortable night’s rest.

Quilt for cot is not always necessary but can cover Baby’s feet which protects them from cold. Quilt for cot bed will also serve Baby’s need against the weather.

Cot quilt size must not match the size of the cot’s size as not to take up the whole space.

Cotton

Cotton is a viral material because it retains heat and is very soft to the touch. However, it can also suffer from some faults, such as increasing the child’s risk of sweating and reducing his comfort when his room has an already high temperature. This is why it is not recommended to choose a cotton duvet for children if they suffer from skin problems or allergies; otherwise, these could be amplified.

Polyester

Polyester is a much more hypoallergenic material that will regulate the child’s duvet’s temperature because it is a light and breathable material. Also, some duvets are treated against dust mites to reduce the risk of allergies further. Some polyester duvets are equipped with TopCool technology, a process by which Baby’s body heat will be conducted to the outside of the duvet always to be able to maintain an ideal temperature. Ease of Maintenance of the Baby’s duvet

Finally, the last criterion to take into account, and not the least, is the ease of maintenance of Baby’s duvet.

Indeed, when he sleeps, your little one will sweat regularly, but it may also happen that he has a few accidents during the night.

Washing your child’s duvet will not be exceptional but a very regular task. This is why it is vital to choose a children’s duvet that is washable very quickly. Fortunately, today, almost all models can be machine washed, as long as the water temperature does not exceed 30 ° C.
