I wasn't sure where to post with this as it's not a review as such, just a query regarding the new Bambi Cottina Cotton Blanket for a single bed.

 

I'm thinking of getting an extra blanket for the winter.  Although my LO is well off moving to a big bed, I thought this blanket would suit us now and for later.  But then I see that this same brand does a 100% cotton quilt.  It is also pictured with the cotton blanket in the Save Our Sleep® ® online store. 

 

I know Tizzie says a duvet is ok to use in the big bed.  But just clarifying what a duvet exactly is??  Is that the same as a quilt, also sometimes called a doona??  I know they all called something different, depending which country you grew up in probably!!

 

But does Save Our Sleep® ® know anything about this Bambi cotton 'quilt'??  Or maybe are they considering stocking it?  Alot of quilts/'continental quilts', as they have also been called, are polyester filled and my partner HATES them coz he gets too hot.  So I'm guessing polyester filled quilts/duvets might be best avoided, too?? 

 

Hope I haven't caused confusion with the quilt/duvet/doona business!  Look forward to hearing the good oil from the team

thanks

 

Firstly - yes you could use this blanket now and in the future. When using it in the cot you would just need to fold it in half just like you do the cot blankets when you have new born.

 

Second - yes this brand does do a 100% cotton quilt - I am sorry about the confusion with the picture but it was the only one the manufacturer could send us. A Duvet, quilt and doona are all the same thing - yes depends what you call it as to where you gre up LOL

 

We have not yet considered stocking the quilts as they are quite big and bulky items and we need to consider how we would go about sending these but as for this brand we have been very impressed so far with their 100% cotton mattress protectors and the single bed blanket so this would likely be a good quilt for you to consider to purchase when making your choice. Once your child is in a bed it is really personaly preference as to which type of quilt/duvet you would like to use unless your child has allergies and then we suggest you consult with your childs doctor about what may be best.
