Toddler Bedding — Bed Skirts & Sheets for a 28" x 52" Mattress
A toddler bed takes a crib mattress. That one fact is why this collection exists — the 28" x 52" pieces from the nursery still fit the bed that replaces it, and the one that doesn't, the skirt, just needs a shorter drop. Everything here is cut and sewn by hand in our Alabama studio from 100% washed cotton, in the same colors and silhouettes we have made for cribs since 2015. Free shipping on every order.
What's in this collection:
- Toddler bed skirts — also called a toddler bed dust ruffle — in our farmhouse and ruffled cuts, with a 12-inch drop measured for a low toddler frame
- Fitted crib sheets — the same 28" x 52" size a toddler bed uses, so the sheets from the crib fit the new bed exactly
What sets ours apart:
- A 12-inch drop cut for toddler beds specifically, not a crib skirt relabeled — ready-made crib skirts run 14 to 22 inches and heap on a low frame
- Gathered on all four sides, not just the front
- 100% pre-washed cotton, so it arrives soft and will not shrink at home
- Any color we carry, and we will match a paint chip or a fabric you already own
- Made to order, one at a time, in Alabama — never mass-produced
- Machine wash cold, tumble dry low — it lives on the floor, and it holds up
Converting a crib instead of buying a toddler bed? Most families do. Drop the mattress to its lowest setting, take the front rail off, and the frame stays exactly the same — but a skirt cut for a higher mattress setting will now be far too long. Measure from the top of the mattress platform down to the floor: most land between 7 and 11 inches, which is what our 12-inch drop is built for. Need a different length? Leave the measurement in your order notes and we will cut it to size.
Which pieces carry over from the nursery? Fitted crib sheets fit exactly — same mattress, same size. Crib blankets and quilts work as a toddler bedspread. Crib rail covers do not, since toddler guardrails are shorter and shaped differently. Our Crib Fit Guide walks through measuring, and custom lengths are always available.
