Dark Gray Bed Braid

Dark gray bed braid: a soft touch for the bedroom

Our dark gray bed braid adds texture and depth to a child's room. Braided in soft velvet and padded with cotton, it dresses a bed, marks off a reading nook or highlights a headboard.

Key benefits

• A soft, warm decorative touch.
• Easy to install and to move around as you like.
• Available in several lengths: 1m, 2m, 3m, 4m.
• An item that grows with your child: toddler bed, floor bed, sofa, headboard.

Using it properly, depending on your child's age

Official sleep recommendations are clear: a baby's bed must stay empty while they sleep, with no bed bumper, pillow or soft object. The Assurance maladie (the French national health insurance) reminds parents that "a bed bumper is not recommended."

• Before 12 months: use the braid as daytime decoration and remove it before every sleep, naps included.
• When your child starts to pull up to stand: remove it from the crib, as it could be used as a step.
• After that: it lines a toddler bed or a Montessori-style floor bed, or decorates a sofa.

Materials

Velvet that is soft to the touch, cotton padding. Dust with a low-power vacuum cleaner and spot clean with a damp cloth.

Frequently asked questions

• Can the braid be left in the bed while the baby sleeps? Not before 12 months: sleep recommendations rule out any bed bumper and any soft object in an infant's bed. Put it in place during the day for decoration, and remove it at bedtime.
• What is a bed braid used for? To decorate the room, to mark off a space and, later on, to line a toddler bed or a floor bed.
• When should it be removed from the crib? As soon as your child starts to stand, so they can't use it to climb.
