Brushed cotton cot sheets?

I am looking anywhere and everywhere for brushed cotton for cot sheets. Do they not make them anymore and/or is there a reason? His sheet feels cold to the touch and despite the room being a comfortable temp at night, if he stirs it’s like putting him onto a cold surface and he wakes immediately.

can anyone advise or please tell me where i can get these. I hate normal cotton myself in the winter, why is this so hard to find for babies??

I bought brushed cotton sheets from Amazon for my bed. If you can't find cot size can you cut down from a double? Cut on the diagonal (aka bias) to stop it fraying.

If you also have a sewing machine you could zigzag or overlock stitch the edges as well.

My 3 year old hates a cold pillow which you get with 100% cotton. So I bought pillowcases from M+S not cotton but like a boulce/fleece. Very cosy. 2 for £10. They do the sheets too. They are a bit pricy. Last year we got the sheet from somewhere for cheap but cant remember where…..

Not exact same thing but Mamas and Papas used to do a cotton jersey sheet which was lovely and always felt so much softer and warmer than normal cotton

I don't think I have even heard the phrase brushed cotton for about 20 years! My sister used to love brushed cotton sheets, I haven't ever seen them in shops, I think they have gone out of fashion. Perhaps you could get some on ebay or vinted?

We had fleecey (polyester but fleecy style) cot sheets for winter, they have a warmer feel.

Asda do them. All my family prefer brushed cotton (probably because I can't stand anything else so they've been brought up with it) and I saw cot sheets recently when buying some Xmas bedding online👍

I’ve bought brushed cotton bedding in Primark in single, double and king.

Asda, Tesco, Dunelm, B&Q, Amazon, just had a quick look. There’s loads out there, you’ll find some!

I've got 2 really lovely Terry cotton super soft towel effect ones from John Lewis, 100% cotton. I can pop onto vinted if you would like to buy them from me? I don't want much for them. They were used about 10 times on the cot at my parents house... my kids refused to nap in the cot 🤣 so have hardly been used. From a pet free and smoke free home.
