I’m Seeing Stars over Clouds & Stars
My children’s cribs have a very-annoying-runs-for-only-ten-minutes- has-no-remote-control baby entertainer in them which make it very difficult to get the mattress in and out to change the sheets. Even when I remove the annoying appliance from the crib first, I still have to take the mattress out of the crib and wrestle with it on the tiny floor of the bedroom in order to change the sheet. And then I still have to put it back in. For that reason, my kids’ sheets don’t get changed as often as they should. Gross, but true.
It was, anyway, until my recent discovery of quick zip crib sheets from Clouds and Stars. These things are absolutely genius! You place the mattress in the zipper base, lay their brilliant flat mattress pad on the mattress and zip on the top. Then when the top sheet is dirty, you simply unzip it and zip on a clean zipper top. With no need to remove the base, the mattress wrestling is a thing of the past. The base covers the bottom and all four sides of the mattress so it stays in place with no risk of popping off. The zipper is completely covered and never touches baby. The entire set is made of 200-thread count preshrunk 100% cotton and there is an organic option.
I also tried out the new playyard sheet which is as fabulous as I’ve come to expect from this company. It’s like a pillow case that slips over the mattress from the side and is secured via velco at the other side safely under the edge. I tried the cotton version and it’s luxuriously thick and soft.
Invented by two moms, the Clouds and Stars quick zip sheets are the easiest and most logical bedding option available. Only a frustrated mother could come up with something so perfect. And I’m so glad they did. These are definitely a TOP pick for me!
Win it! Clouds and Stars will send one winner a sheet set with an extra top and even include a mattress pad (which you may be tempted not to replace when you purchase these sheets but I assure you that you totally need it!) This ‘everything you need‘ set is valued at $71.99. To enter, leave a comment on this post before April 28 with your colour choice from those listed at the site.
