Hello!
Desperately trying to find a waterproof mattress protector and blue fitted sheets for sons new shorty bed.
Anyone any ideas please?! I didn't think they'd be this hard to find!

I gave up and bought normal length and just tucked the excess underneath.

I used to shorten everything,
but I did it from the top and without cutting so I could unpick and use on the big bed when they got one.

Amazon have fitted sheets for shorty beds.

Tempted to do this myself, does it not go really baggy though?

It didn't for ours but it was a very thick mattress wedged into a custom built cabin bed so it was very well kept in on all sides. Not sure how well it would stay on a standard bedframe.

I swore I would never again have a bed that was so difficult to make 😅

If anyone can tell me where to buy a shorty duvet I'd love to know. It needs to be narrower than a single as the bed is 75cm wide.

I’ve always just used normal single sheets. But I am not super houseproud.

I know it's about a year since this was posted, but I stumbled across it looking for bedding for my daughters bed so maybe others will do the same.

In Dreams Bedding and Bedtime Comforts Ltd both do shorty fitted sheets in a range of colours.

And i found a junior duvet actually fits better than a single.
