What is the difference between GOTS-certified and non-GOTS certified organic cotton?
An organic label states that the cotton seeds used to produce that fabric are non-GMO and do not use pesticides!
The GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) is an independent body that certifies the entire production chain, not only if the seeds are organic. It takes into consideration human and environmental aspects like slave work and water pollution as well.
Choosing the perfect organic crib sheet
The AAP and the CPSC recommend using only fitted crib sheets for the first year. And that’s it! No blankets, bumper, toys, pillows to avoid suffocation and SIDS. If this is all new for you, check our Easy steps to the AAP safe sleep guidelines.
So, with safety (and your sanity) in mind, the basics you should look for in a crib sheet are:
Fitted: not too loose, not too small.
Machine washable: I don’t have to extend myself here. 😉
Durable: a regular crib matters will last until toddler years, good sheets should last more than 1 year!
As usual, all sheets featured here are loved by real parents and caregivers! Also, all of them suit the 3 basic criteria above (fitted, washable, durable), according to most parents reviews, not only manufacturers description!
And finally, as each manufacturer is different, always check their washing recommendations to prolong your sheets life!
