Kids sleep

Natural-fiber sleep essentials with age-specific use and no added chemical flame-retardant treatments.

Fitted bedding and wearable sleep layers have different roles, but both should make their fabric, fill and treatments clear.  We favor natural materials and exclude added chemical flame retardants.  Choose for the child's age and sleep setup; bedding for an older child is not automatically suitable for an infant crib.
