Woolen underlay/blanket co-sleeper natural
merino wool
50x90cm

The wool underlay for the co-sleeper keeps your little one wonderfully warm. The underlay is made for a co-sleeper in the size 50x90 cm. If your co-sleeper's mattress is a few cm smaller, that's not a problem. You can fold it inwards at the top/bottom to make it fit nicely.

This wool underlay fits, among others, in these co-sleepers: tiSsi Maxi Boxspring, Childhome Co-Sleeper 50×90, Childhome Evolux, Novi Baby Goodnight.

These co-sleepers are just slightly smaller, but the underlay still fits: Chicco Next2Me Dream, Kinderkraft Neste Up 2, Chicco Next2Me Essential, Chicco Next2Me Magicca.

To keep your little one wonderfully warm, it is often a better option to buy an underlay instead of a thicker blanket. A lot of cold comes from below, cold air sinks, and so it is colder near the floor.

Children love sleeping in wool. You can choose to put a sheet over it, but most customers let their children sleep directly on the wool. The underlays are not comparable to a mattress topper for adults but are a lot thinner. They have the thickness of a single-layer wool blanket. It is not good for babies to sleep on a soft surface.

The underlay is often bought in combination with a wool cradle blanket. This way the child lies fully insulated in wool, stays nicely at temperature and is wonderfully comfortable.

Caring for a wool crib underlay

We recommend washing the wool crib underlay as little as possible. Ventilation is often sufficient to make the pad smell fresh again. Speaking of smelling fresh, a wool crib pad can have a (sometimes quite strong) sheep scent when purchased. This will go away automatically, but if you find it very unpleasant, first let the pad steam in the mist or in a steamy room. For example in the bathroom in the steam from the shower. Then dry the pad lying flat on, for example, a laundry rack in a well-ventilated area.

Wash merino wool underlay

If an accident has happened and you cannot avoid washing the crib pad, do this by hand to damage the pad as little as possible. Wash the wool underlay at 30 degrees with wool detergent. If necessary, let the underlay soak for a while. Then lay it flat (for example on a clothes rack) to dry.

If you are going to wash it in the washing machine, follow the washing instructions on the label. Please note that if your washing machine is a bit older and does not have a special wool washing program, it is not suitable for washing wool. Older washing machines often first run cold water into the drum, which causes the wool to shock and shrink. Wool can also shrink from (too) cold water.
