Moses Basket
I received the moses basket grey B-Sensible bedding as a parent tester. It arrived neatly packaged in a small box and was in the perfect condition to take out of the box and use straight away.
As a mum to a small baby with reflux I was really looking forward to trialing this product due to it's built in waterproof lining - no more changing a mattress protector and sheet in the middle of the night in a half asleep state. This definitely made changing the bedding much easier and the waterproof lining was able to withstand quite large vomits.
The dark grey colour also matched my existing sheets and moses basket which is great. It has washed well and you can chuck it in the tumble dryer for extra ease if needed. The only downside to the sheet is that it's a little large for the mattress so some of the lining shows at the side of the mattress. This didn't effect it's performance as baby doesn't sleep right at the edge but it means it does tend to look a little less neat.
My moses basket is the shnuggle moses basket which reports the mattress measurements are 74x30cm (this particular moses basket is a larger basket than many). The B-Sensible moses fitted sheet lists its measurements as 76x29cm so there is a slight difference, but there does appear to be more than a cm of lining showing at the sides.
Despite it not being the perfect fit, which is easy to identify prior to purchase from the product description, I still feel this product is definitely worth using if your baby tends to vomit and/or have nappy leaks as it certainly makes night time bedding changes much easier. I would recommend!

Crib
Every parent knows the joy of a middle of the night nappy leak or spit up of a milk that means a speedy sheet change and a prayer that the mattress isn’t soaked through. With our first baby suffering with reflux this was a regular occurrence for us.
This is why I was so pleased to receive the B Sensible crib sheet to review. It’s a beautifully soft fitted sheet and mattress protector in one which makes things so much easier.
It arrived in its own little box with all the information detailing the benefits of the sheet and I quickly put it to use.
It fits my Shnuggle crib mattress well and I really like the grey colour. Baby Ned seems really comfortable and, just two weeks in, it has already saved the mattress from a couple of nappy leaks.
Overall I’m really pleased with the B Sensible sheet and will definitely by buying the next size when he moves into his cot.

Cot Bed
The item arrived extremely swiftly and was wrapped in fully recyclable package. I found this very thoughtful and caring by Natural Baby Shower to make an effort in reducing waste and protecting our environment.
As I opened the package, I noticed that the item was nicely folded in a carton box, with all the information relative to the product and how to care for it. The very pretty pink colour I chose was just as I expected and reflecting the picture on the website. I unpacked the bed sheet, which felt of very high quality and well-made and followed the instructions on how to wash it correctly before the first use. The item can be washed in the washing machine, with the textile facing out, as well as tumble-dried and it hold it’s colour very well in the further washes. If air-dried, I suggest to turn the laminate side facing out as the waterproof material needs longer to dry. The bed sheet was also extremely easy to put on the mattress, as the skirt is extensible and very stretchy, fitting all mattress thicknesses.
Despite being waterproof, the bed sheet feels very soft, even more after the first wash, and it also doesn’t make the classic crackling noise typical of waterproof materials, which was very pleasant.
But what I loved the most about the B-Sensible Fitted Sheet was how gentle and kind the fabric is on my daughters’ skin. I have tested the item with both my 2 years-old daughter, who suffers from severe eczema (dry and itchy skin) as well as my twelve week old daughter, who has mild baby acne. Over a month of alternate use, I noticed that both my daughters’ skin was softer, less blotchy and less sweaty, as the material is very breathable and made of natural fibres, and overall their conditions on their faces improved.
I would highly recommend the B-Sensible fitted sheet through all stages of your child’s development. Being so soft, antibacterial, natural and odor-reducing, it is truly a piece of mind for bed and nap times. The item is also available in different mattresses sizes and delicate pastel colours, to complement any nursery.
