What exactly is a Waterproof Sheet?
Our 2-in-1 Waterproof Sheets combine a soft fitted sheet and a waterproof mattress protector — all in one! They’re designed to make parenting easier by keeping your baby’s mattress dry, fresh, and protected with just the one product.
They also act as a barrier to help protect the mattress against dust mites and allergens - promoting a clean and healthy sleep environment. Cool huh?

WATERPROOF SHEET FAQ'S
Our waterproof sheets feature a smart three-layer design to keep your little one dry, comfy, and safe.
Top Layer: 100% cotton, which is soft and gentle against delicate skin.
Middle Layer: A thin polyester fill that wicks away moisture and keeps the sheet’s structure flat and firm, and helps prevent pooling on the surface.
Bottom: Polyurethane Laminate (PUL) This specialised material has microscopic holes that allow air to travel back and forth, whilst trapping water molecules on the surface. This means the sheet allows air flow, but stops liquids from leaking through.
Not at all. Our sheets are quilted and designed to feel just like premium bedding — soft, quiet, and comfy. You’d never know they were waterproof.
We are tempted to shout “the limit does not exist!” But if we had to pick a number it would be 3.
Three sheets means that you can have two sheets layered + a spare!
Nope! Our sheets are mattress protectors. They are not only snuggly soft and breathable, they shield the mattress at the same time. They also help to protect the mattress against dust mites and allergens. You’re welcome!
Bambella sheets are built tough, and are designed to withstand frequent washing. Simply toss them in the washing machine, and they'll come out as good as new for snug fit every time.
Yes, on cool - but line drying will extend their life and keep the waterproof layer strong.

SHEET Sizing FAQ'S
Basically it comes down to size and fit. Our Moses/Oval Bassinet sheets are slightly smaller and slimmer, with oval shaped edges. They measure 76cm x 36cm x 4cm and are designed for smaller, and slimmer bassinets such as the Snoo, or Moses style baskets. We have created them using elasticised ends to secure the sheet in place, but without putting too much pressure on thinner mattresses that tend to bunch up if the sheet is too tight.
Our Standard Bassinet Sheets are a rectangular in shape, and feature wider edges and sides to fit a variety of bassinet mattresses and change pads. They measure 80cm x 46cm x 13cm - with the generous sides featuring elastic all the way around to ensure a snug fit on the bassinet mattress.
