10 Gorgeous Floral Crib Sheets for Whimsical Nurseries

Everything's coming up roses with these totally gorgeous floral crib sheets.

10 Gorgeous Floral Crib Sheets for Whimsical Nurseries

After finding the perfect mattress for your newborn, you probably invested in a couple of sheets. Little did you know that babies go through crib sheets the way they go through baby wipes—and there's only so much laundry a parent can do. But stocking up on this newborn checklist item doesn't have to be a chore. And adding floral crib sheets is a perfect opportunity to update the decor of your little one's nursery with some color and whimsy.

Bedding for babies and kids often comes in solid pastels or cute animal prints, but we love the idea of floral crib sheets. Whether the print is small and Liberty-inspired or big, bold and tropical, florals—like the botanicals themselves—can breathe new life into your baby's room. And if you're wondering how many crib sheets you need, a bunch. Stock up.

What to look for in the best floral crib sheets

When shopping for crib sheets, you want to look for fabrics that wash well, because they'll be in the washing machine a lot. There are a few options available. Cotton and cotton blends are soft and gentle on baby's skin and can be washed again and again. Cotton muslin is even softer—and only gets softer with use—but can be delicate.

Jersey blends are stretchy and feel like your favorite t-shirt. Often made with polyester, jersey can be durable but the spandex that makes it stretchy can degrade in high heat, so be sure to line dry or keep the dryer at a low temperature. Remember to wash your new flowery sheets before putting them on baby's bed!
