Kids Bedsheets

Kids Bed Sheets in Pakistan

Kids bed sheets are cotton sheets cut for a child's bed and printed in designs children pick for themselves. A child's single bed takes a narrower sheet than an adult single, so size matters more here than in any other bedding category. Ours are cotton, made in Lahore, sold online with cash on delivery anywhere in the country.  

What size sheet fits a child's bed

This is where most parents go wrong, and the market does not help. Kids single sheets in Pakistan are sold at two common widths, roughly 58 inches and roughly 70 inches, both about 96 inches long. Shops list both as single. They are not the same, and one of them will not tuck properly on your child's bed. So measure before you order. Take the length, width and depth of the gaddha with a tape, then check the measurement on the product page rather than trusting the word single. Every listing on our site carries its own size.

• Child's single bed: The narrower cut. Standard for a first bed after the cot.
• Bunk beds: Usually the narrower cut as well, and a fitted sheet is easier on the top bunk since you are not tucking in at arm's length.
• Older children sharing a double: Take a double or king size. Many kids designs are printed in both.

If the sheet keeps coming loose at night, a fitted sheet solves it properly. Children move far more in their sleep than adults do.

Which fabric suits a child's bed

Cotton, for one practical reason above all others. A child's bed gets washed two or three times as often as yours, and cotton takes repeated washing without going stiff or losing its shape. It also breathes through a Lahore summer, which matters when load shedding takes the fan out at two in the morning. You will see sellers promise fabric that is gentle on sensitive skin. Ask what the fabric actually is. A soft finish on a synthetic blend feels smooth in the shop and holds heat on the bed. Pure cotton with a plain weave is the safer choice for a child who gets prickly heat or wakes up sweating.

Designs: cartoon characters and themes

Our kids range has two kinds of design, so you can pick what suits your child:

• Cartoon and character prints: Superheroes, game and cartoon characters that children ask for by name.
• Animals: Jungle, farm, dinosaurs, panda, cats and birds.
• Space and vehicles: Planets, rockets, cars, trains and aeroplanes.
• Sport: Football and cricket prints.
• Fantasy: Unicorns, castles, stars and rainbows.
• Simple repeats: Dots, stripes and small shapes in bright colours.

Character prints are the ones children get most excited about. Theme prints tend to stay in favour for longer, which brings us to the next point.

Choosing something your child will still like next year

A five year old picks a favourite character and drops it within two years. The sheet does not wear out in that time, so you buy again. Themes age better. A jungle print or a football print stays acceptable to a nine year old in a way a cartoon face does not. A middle path many parents use is to let the child choose the pillow cover and cushion while you choose the sheet. The child still gets to pick, and the expensive piece stays usable. Cushion covers are cheap to replace.

Washing a child's bedding, and the dust mite question

This is the one place where the usual bedding advice and children's health advice pull in different directions, so it is worth being clear. For colour, cold water is better. For dust mites, which trigger asthma and allergy symptoms in a lot of children, hot water is better. The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America recommends washing sheets and blankets weekly at about 130 degrees Fahrenheit, roughly 55 Celsius, to kill mites. Mayo Clinic gives the same figure. There is a real caveat for a house with children. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology notes that keeping home water above 130 Fahrenheit raises the risk of scalding, and advises keeping it no higher than 120 with weekly washing instead. It also points out that a cold wash still removes more than 90 percent of the allergen even though it does not kill the mites, since most mites die by drowning rather than by heat.

What that means in a normal Pakistani home

1. If nobody in the house has asthma or a dust allergy, wash cold or warm and weekly. The colour lasts longer and the allergen still comes off.
2. If a child does have asthma or allergy symptoms, use hot water, but heat it at the machine rather than turning the geyser up for the whole house.
3. Turn the sheet inside out. Skip bleach and softener.
4. Dry in shade. Lahore sun fades a print faster than the machine does.

Kansas State University Extension adds that washing at the wrong water temperature causes dye loss and shrinkage, which is why the two goals need balancing rather than one simply being right.

Bed wetting and protecting the mattress

Nobody advertises this and every parent deals with it. A waterproof mattress protector under the sheet saves the gaddha, and it costs far less than replacing one. Put the protector on the mattress, the fitted or flat sheet over it, and keep a second sheet folded in the cupboard so a change at three in the morning takes two minutes instead of twenty.

Moving from a cot to a first bed

Most children in Pakistan move out of the cot somewhere between two and three and a half. Buy two sheets rather than one at that stage. The first months in a big bed bring more accidents and more spills, and a spare means the bed gets made the same night rather than the next day.

Do you need separate designs for boys and girls?

Not really, and it limits you. Animals, space, sport and star prints suit any child, and they work better when two children share a room or when the bedding gets handed down. Pick by the colours already in the room and by what the child actually likes. If your daughter wants a football print, buy the football print.

What comes in a set

• Single set: one sheet and one pillow cover.
• Double set: one sheet and two pillow covers.

Matching quilt covers and duvet covers are listed separately for the winter months. Each product page names the exact pieces included.

What kids bedding costs

Across Pakistan this category runs from roughly Rs 1,200 to Rs 5,000. What moves the price is the cloth, whether the design is printed on pure cotton or a blend, and how many pieces are in the set. The price for each of our designs is on its own product page. We manufacture and distribute, so there is no middle layer added. Buying two of the same design at once is worth doing. The second one means there is always a clean sheet ready for the bed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size bed sheet does a child's single bed need?

Kids singles come in two widths here, around 58 inches and around 70 inches, both about 96 long. Measure the mattress before ordering and check the size on the product page, because shops label both as single.

What kind of sheet do you use for your kid's bed?

A cotton sheet in your child's bed size, laid over a waterproof mattress protector, with a spare of the same design in the cupboard. A fitted sheet holds better than a flat one for children who move a lot in their sleep, and for the top bunk.

How often should a child's bed sheet be washed?

Once a week. That is the interval allergy specialists recommend for keeping dust mite levels down, and it suits a child's bed anyway. Keep a spare sheet so the bed can be made straight away.

Should I wash kids bedding in hot or cold water?

Cold protects the colour and still removes most of the allergen. Use hot only if a child in the house has asthma or a dust allergy, and heat the water at the machine rather than raising the geyser temperature for the whole house.

Which fabric is best for children?

Cotton. It survives frequent washing, stays cool in summer, and does not trap heat the way a soft synthetic blend can. Check the listed fabric rather than the word soft.

Do you sell character bed sheets?

Yes. Our kids range has cartoon and character prints alongside animal, space, sport, vehicle and fantasy themes. Prices for both start from Rs 1,899.

Is cash on delivery available?

Yes, across Pakistan. You pay the rider when the parcel reaches your door, or order on WhatsApp at 0324 492 4274.
