These Are the Best Sheets for New Mums
Posted: 03 October 2025
Being a new mum is a 24/7 job.
When your nights are cut short, only the softest sheets will do.
For new mums, sleep can feel like a rare luxury. Between late-night feeds and early mornings, caring for a newborn, and getting comfortable in bed often feels impossible.
That’s where our linen sheets come in. Soft, breathable, and naturally temperature-regulating, they make getting comfortable, easy (even on the most exhausting nights).
Here are 5 reasons these sheets could make your nights a little sweeter.
1. Linen Sheets Are Soft From the First Night
When you’re exhausted, you don’t have time for stiff and scratchy bedding. You need to be able to get into bed and feel an instant relief. That’s a perk of our linen bedding.
Why it matters: Soft sheets feel comforting the moment you lie down, helping your body relax faster which is crucial when sleep is broken.
Why linen works: French flax linen comes beautifully stonewashed and softens naturally with every wash, giving a gentle, lived-in feel that wraps you in calm.
2. They Keep You Cool (Even During Night Feeds)
Hot, sweaty nights only make exhaustion worse. Whether it’s a sticky summer evening or hormones not playing ball, having sheets that are cooling should be high on the priority list.
Why it matters: Overheating disrupts sleep and can make night feeds uncomfortable.
Why linen works: Linen is breathable and moisture-wicking, adapting to your body temperature so you stay comfortable even when you’re up multiple times a night.
3. These Sheets Handle Accidents & Messes
New mums deal with spills, milk, and the occasional nappy mishap, so you don’t need high-maintenance bedding.
Why it matters: Easy-care linen sheets reduce stress and save time, letting you focus on your baby (and maybe squeeze in a quick nap).
Why linen works: Strong, durable, and naturally stain-resistant, linen survives repeated washes while staying soft. Our Hotel Cloud Mattress Topper is also great for adding a bit of extra comfort and protection to your mattress.

4. Linen Sheets Move With You, Not Against You
Heavy or stiff bedding can feel suffocating when all you want is a few minutes of comfort.
Why it matters: Sheets should glide over your skin and keep their shape, so you can adjust without tugging or fussing.
Why linen works: Linen drapes beautifully, giving freedom of movement and a relaxed, comforting feel that makes getting into bed effortless.
5. Our Sheets Make Your Bed Feel Like a 5-Star Hotel
When life is chaotic and sleep is limited, your bedroom should feel like a 5-star retreat.
Why it matters: Calm, inviting linen bedding can mentally signal relaxation, helping even a short nap feel restorative.
Why linen works: Soft textures, natural fibres, and a timeless look create a bed that feels luxurious, calm, and comforting, which is exactly what every new mum needs.
