Little Bamboo | Jersey Fitted Cot Sheet | Cot | Marle Whisper

A jersey-knit fitted cot sheet from Little Bamboo, in the Marle Whisper print — a softly marled blend of white and pale green. Made from a 60% cotton / 40% rayon bamboo blend. Sized 135 × 77cm with a 19cm depth to fit a standard Australian cot mattress. 

Why jersey-knit fitted sheets work well for cots

• Stretchy, snug fit. Jersey is a knit fabric (not woven), so it has natural give in all directions. The sheet stretches over the mattress and stays in place even when active sleepers shift it around.
• Soft and smooth feel. The cotton-bamboo blend combines cotton's familiar softness with the smoother fibre surface of rayon bamboo. Cotton-dominant blends are often chosen by parents who want a "natural cotton" feel with added smoothness.
• Breathable. Both cotton and rayon bamboo are breathable, absorbent fibres. The jersey knit structure adds airflow compared to tightly-woven sheet fabrics.
• Easy care. Jersey doesn't need ironing — it returns to shape after washing.
• Machine washable. Designed for frequent washing, which matters for baby bedding.

Care

• Washing at 55°C or hotter kills dust mites (McDonald & Tovey, 1992, Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology); cold-washing still removes most allergen if hot isn't possible
• See product label for detailed care instructions before first use
• Tumble dry on low or line dry — high heat can affect the elastic and reduce softness over time

Frequently asked

What is a "marle" finish?
Marle (also spelled "marl") is a yarn-mixing technique — two or more differently-coloured yarns are twisted together before knitting, producing a fabric with a flecked, heathered look rather than a single uniform colour. It's the same effect you see in marle sweatshirts and t-shirts. For this sheet, white and pale green yarns combine to give a soft, textured appearance.

Is this 100% bamboo?
No — this sheet is a cotton-dominant blend (60% cotton / 40% rayon bamboo). If you're looking for a pure bamboo or pure natural-fibre sheet, this isn't it; the cotton-dominant blend is for parents who want primarily cotton with added smoothness from rayon bamboo. For pure single-fibre alternatives, see our hemp cot sheets.

Is bamboo really antibacterial?
Bamboo as a raw plant has some natural antimicrobial activity. The rayon bamboo manufacturing process, however, can alter or remove those compounds — which is why we don't make antibacterial claims for this sheet. The cotton component doesn't carry antibacterial claims either.

Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
We don't make safety claims for specific medical conditions. Cotton and rayon bamboo are both commonly chosen by families managing sensitive skin — cotton for being a mechanically processed natural fibre, rayon bamboo for the smooth fibre surface. Every child is different. For advice specific to your child's situation, talk to your GP, paediatrician, or dermatologist.

Why is this called "Jersey"?
Jersey is a fabric construction (a type of knit), not a fibre. The name comes from the Channel Island of Jersey where the knit was historically produced. Jersey fabrics stretch in all directions, which makes them well-suited to fitted sheets that need to flex over a mattress.
