Braided Bed Bumpers

Braided bumpers: safety, comfort and style for baby

Braided baby cot bumpers provide soft, reassuring protection in your baby's bed. Thanks to their thick velvet braiding (80% cotton, 20% polyester), they cushion knocks against the bars, prevent arms and legs slipping through the slats, and create a cosy environment ideal for encouraging sleep.

Modular and flexible, they adapt to all bed sizes: from barred cots to convertible beds, and attach easily using the included straps, whatever the type of bars. Their anti-allergic silicone down filling offers a soft, voluminous texture that adapts to your child's movements without creating hard spots.

Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification: no harmful substances in the fibres, dyes or filling. All our braided bumpers meet this requirement, for completely safe contact with baby's sensitive skin.

Height according to braid: a 3-strand braid offers a height of approximately 15 cm, a 4-strand braid approximately 20 cm. The choice depends on the child's age and the spacing of the bars.

Braided mattress and bed reducer: a reassuring space from birth

The detachable braided bed reducer fulfils two functions: it surrounds baby like a reassuring cocoon in the first weeks, then detaches to fix to the cot bars and become a classic bumper. It reduces the space around the child for more peaceful sleep, both during naps and at night.

Available formats: 50x100 cm (crib) and 70x140 cm (convertible baby bed). Price: €115 for the Almond reducer/bumper. Made from certified materials, our reducers ensure optimal support and long-lasting use.

Decorative accessories: the knot cushion for a harmonious nursery

To complete the room, the braided knot cushion adds a mix-and-match design touch. Available in almond, beige and bouclé (€38), it pairs perfectly with bumpers and reducers to create a coordinated, cosy nest.

The braided floor mattress (€130, ecru bouclé and almond colours) extends the braided universe to the floor: ideal for naps, playtime or reading. Pair it with your bed braid for a completely cohesive bedroom.

Tubular bumper: the minimalist alternative

For a more discreet silhouette, the tubular bumper is the cylindrical, smooth version of our braided range. The same soft Oeko-Tex certified velvet, the same colour palette: almond, cappuccino, powder pink, sage green, but a cleaner aesthetic, halfway between a classic bumper and a bed cushion. Ideal for Scandinavian or natural-style nurseries, it pairs perfectly with the 3-strand braid for a harmonious cosy-nest effect.

Which bed braid size to choose for your child's bed?

Choosing the length is the first question parents ask. Here is the complete matching guide according to the exact dimensions of the bed:

To remember: the braid attaches with the included straps, whatever the type of bars. For 90x190 house beds, the 4 m braid is the reference for covering the entire perimeter.

3-strand or 4-strand bed braid: which braid to choose?

The 4-strand is recommended for little ones whose movements are still poorly controlled, and for beds whose bars are closer together. The 3-strand is perfectly suitable from 6 months, especially for house beds whose bars are generally more widely spaced.

Bed braid for house bed: the wood and velvet combination

Mon Lit Cabane house beds (90x190 format) are directly compatible with our 4 m bed braids, designed to cover all the side bars and the foot of the bed. It is the brand's signature combination: braided velvet comes to dress the wooden structure to create a coherent, warm children's bedroom universe.

Unlike most competitors who offer standard braids for baby cots, our 4 m models have been specifically designed for house beds and tipis. Braided velvet + natural wood structure = a unique aesthetic that stands the test of time.

Available collections to coordinate braid and décor theme: Boho, Forest, Flowers — each collection declines its colours across the braid, cushions, bed canopy and bedding for a fully coordinated bedroom.

Colours and materials: matching the bed braid to the room

Available colours: beige, almond, sand, light grey, classic grey, white, cappuccino, mustard, butter yellow, sage green, ecru bouclé, latte bouclé, peach bouclé, soft bouclé off white.

Terracotta and natural tones trend: sand, almond and ecru bouclé marry perfectly with wooden furniture, jute rugs and natural furnishings. For a terracotta room, sand and cappuccino are the safe choices.

Materials: velvet (80% cotton, 20% polyester), bouclé fabric, honeycomb depending on the model. Bouclé offers an even softer touch and a textured relief particularly appreciated in natural-spirit bedrooms.

Which bed braid for a 90x190 house bed?

From birth, in a bed empty of any other accessory. The recommendation is to use the bumper in a bed without duvet, without pillow and without soft toys, in accordance with infant sleep safety recommendations. Choose the 4-strand before 6 months for reinforced protection.

What is the difference between 3-strand and 4-strand?

- The 3-strand measures approximately 15 cm in height by 9 cm in width: light protection, suitable for babies over 6 months and house beds with spaced bars.

- The 4-strand measures approximately 20 cm in height: reinforced protection, recommended from birth and for beds with side openings or close-set bars.
