Every parent wants a safe and cosy space for their baby. Soft fabrics, gentle textures, and breathable materials play an important role during early months. In a baby’s first year, skin is delicate, sleep is frequent, and routine care items are always in use. The right products help parents create a calm and clean daily routine. The Baby Collection from The Towel Shop has been developed for this purpose. It offers a complete range of towels, bedding, sheets, blankets, pillows, and essentials for newborns. Each item in the collection is designed for comfort and made from soft materials that feel gentle on sensitive skin. 

Materials Used in Our Baby Collection

The materials used in baby products must be soft, breathable, and durable. The fabrics in our Baby Collection support comfort and temperature balance while staying lightweight and washable.

100% Cotton

Cotton is the most popular baby fabric due to its natural softness. Cotton is hypoallergenic, which is ideal for newborns with sensitive skin. It also absorbs moisture well and withstands regular washing. 

Zero Twist Cotton

Zero twist cotton towels offer a fluffier and lighter feel. The yarn is not twisted during the weaving process, creating a soft and plush finish. These towels dry fast and feel gentle on the skin, making them ideal for newborns. 

Terry Cotton

Terry cotton is known for its thick looped texture. It absorbs water fast and dries efficiently. Our terry cotton baby towels are soft and fluffy, offering comfort during bath time. The loops help dry delicate areas like the neck, behind the ears, and between tiny fingers and toes. 

Soft Knit Cotton

Soft knit cotton is used in cot bed sheets and pillowcases. Knit fabric stretches well but stays secure once fitted. This helps the sheet remain in place even when babies move during sleep. The knit texture feels smooth and breathable. 

Lightweight Fleece

Baby fleece blankets offer warmth without weight. The material feels very soft and stays gentle against the skin. Fleece holds warmth but still allows breathability. It is ideal for nap time, prams, car seats, and travel. The fleece used in our blankets feels snug and easy to handle. 

Bubble Texture Fabric

Bubble blankets use raised bubble patterns that add softness and comfort. The gentle texture is calming and often used for sensory support. These blankets are warm but lightweight, making them ideal for newborns and toddlers. 

Anti-Allergy Fillings

Our cot duvets and pillows use anti-allergy hollowfibre fillings. These fillings help reduce dust mites and irritants. They also offer soft support without adding weight. Anti-allergy fillings are important for children with sensitive breathing or easily irritated skin. 

Products Available in Our Baby Collection

The range includes bedding, towelling, blankets, and everyday essentials. Each item is designed to support comfort, routine care, and safe sleep for babies.

Baby Fitted Sheets: Our fitted sheets are made from soft knit cotton or smooth cotton fabric. They offer a secure fit for cot beds, cribs, and Moses baskets. These sheets stay in place even when babies move during sleep. 

Baby Flat Sheets: Flat sheets made from 100% cotton offer a lightweight cover for warmer months. They can be layered during colder seasons. The smooth cotton provides a soft surface that feels gentle against the skin. 

Cot Bed Duvet Covers and Pillowcases: Cot bed duvet covers and pillowcases provide a soft and safe sleeping environment. The natural fibre ensures reduced irritation and maintains softness even with regular washing. 

Anti-Allergy Cot Pillows and Duvets: Cot duvets and pillows use hollowfibre fillings for lightweight warmth. The anti-allergy design reduces common irritants. These products balance comfort and breathability.

Baby Hooded Towels: Hooded towels offer comfort after bath time. The hood helps retain heat, and the cotton fabric dries water gently from the skin. Options include Terry cotton hooded towels, 

Baby Muslins: Muslin cloths are essential for feeding, burping, swaddling, and daily care. Muslin fabric is breathable and lightweight. It absorbs spills and dries quickly. Baby muslins in our range come in generous sizes that offer multiple uses. 

Baby Blankets: Blankets in fleece or bubble fabric offer extra warmth. They are soft, light, and comfortable for sleep or travel. The fleece blankets provide a smooth warmth while bubble blankets offer a sensory texture that calms babies. 

Travel Cot Mattresses: Travel cot mattresses in foam or pocket spring designs offer supportive comfort for sleep. Foam mattresses provide consistent support and are easy to transport. Pocket spring mattresses offer increased comfort and airflow.
