Last year, Bed Toppings made a splash with their innovative designs that turn single beds into giant objects (their bestseller is the iconic giant Chocolate Bar). Now they’ve turned their playful eye towards smaller customers, with the launch of beautiful unisex cot linens. The “Sleep Tips For Newcomers” sheet features a too-cute list of hints for new bubbas such as “all you have to do is close your eyes and think about happy things, like elephants and sunshine”. Or if that seems a little ambitious, you can lay your little egg on a gorgeous printed bird’s nest (helloooo photo opportunity!) Made in Australia using Supercale cotton, eco-safe ink and ethical processes. We love!
Available from Bed Toppings – $52 (introductory price)
