Moses Basket Bedding

For your Moses basket, you’ll need a firm mattress with a waterproof mattress protector, fitted sheets that wrap tightly around the mattress, a padded liner for inner layering and a sleeping bag or breathable blanket tucked firmly into the sides.

Explore our Moses basket bedding guide for a full checklist of the essentials, plus advice on the best materials for each item.

To dress your Moses basket, place your liner inside the basket, pull the edges over the rim and secure the ties so it fits tightly in place. Next, prepare your mattress by securing your mattress protector and fitted sheet, then place this in the basket so it fits snugly. Lastly, if you’re using a blanket, make sure it’s tucked in securely around the sides.
