Crib blanket size - which one do I need?
When you go looking for a nice crib blanket, it is important to choose the right size! Always choose a crib blanket for a crib. A cot blanket is really far too big, and if you tuck it in, the mattress will bulge due to all the extra fabric you have to deal with. This also applies to the pram and co-sleeper; the right size blanket is just as important there as it is in the crib, otherwise the mattress will bulge there too.
Which crib blanket is suitable depends on the size of the bed. It is important that the crib blanket can still be tucked in properly at the sides of the crib.
One crib is narrower than another. In general, you need a crib blanket with a width of at least 65 cm.
The right size crib blanket contributes to safe sleep!
Where can I find the best crib blanket in the right size?
Pure Baby Love has lovely crib blankets in its range. These are made of 100% pure new wool. Soft lamb's wool from New Zealand. This provides optimal temperature regulation for your little one! And recently, we also have merino wool in the collection. This wool is super, super soft!
Ideal for newborns who cannot yet maintain their temperature well. But also if you want to be sure that your little one is never too hot or too cold. Wool is the perfect material for that.
Wool is one of the safest materials for a crib or cot blanket. This is due to its perfect temperature regulation and the fact that wool is breathable.

What is the difference between the Bee, Duo, and Print blankets?
The blankets are the same in terms of the type of wool. They are all made of 100% Pure New Wool and are true 4-season blankets. Warm in winter, cool in summer. That is the beauty of wool; it regulates the temperature optimally.
The Duo and Prints are slightly thicker than the Bee blankets. Within wool, however, this does not make too much of a difference in warmth, because wool insulates. That works differently than blankets made of cotton or polyester.
TOG rating
TOG ratings; wool works a bit differently than other materials. It works as an insulating layer. Wool releases heat if your little one is warm and retains heat if your little one is cold. Of course, there is a difference in the thickness of the blankets. But wool is suitable for every season! And if it is cold, with wool it is best to work in layers. The TOG rating you can best use for comparison can be found with our blankets in the shop. This is because it differs per design.
