Cypress vs Meadow vs Breton Stripe: Cot Sheet Print Guide

Start with condition, then print

The three sheets share the same organic cotton jersey blend and general fit, so the real decision comes down to two things: whether you want a first-quality sheet or a seconds item, and which print suits your nursery. Cypress and Breton Stripe are both first-quality sheets from the 2026 collection, while Meadow is offered as a seconds item with minor imperfections. That condition difference affects price, returns and what you can expect on arrival.

What each sheet is

• Cypress Organic Fitted Cot Sheet: Cypress Organic Fitted Cot Sheet is part of the 2026 collection and is made from a GOTS certified 95% cotton / 5% jersey blend, Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified. This is a first-quality sheet with the same certified organic fabric as the others, so you can choose it on print alone if condition is your priority.

  

• Breton Stripe Organic Fitted Cot Sheet: Breton Stripe Organic Fitted Cot Sheet is also from the 2026 collection and uses the same GOTS and Oeko-Tex certified organic cotton jersey blend. Like Cypress, it is a first-quality option; the stripe print is the main difference if you are comparing the two.

  

• Meadow Organic Fitted Cot Sheet - SECONDS: Meadow Organic Fitted Cot Sheet - SECONDS is sold as a seconds item with minor imperfections such as slight colour variations or a very minor snag, and returns are not accepted. This is the trade-off: a lower price in exchange for accepting possible flaws and giving up the right to return.

Fit and sizing: check your mattress before you choose

All three sheets are designed to stretch over standard cot mattresses. The Cypress and Meadow sheets are listed at 130 x 70 x 19cm and can stretch to 140 x 80cm. The Breton Stripe sheet is listed at 130 x 77 x 19cm and can stretch to 140 x 85cm, so it offers slightly more width. If your mattress is close to the upper end of these ranges, measure it first. The product information lists specific cots and mattresses that fit and do not fit, so check your model against those lists before ordering.

Fit evidence for each sheet

• Cypress Organic Fitted Cot Sheet: Cypress fits a range of standard cot mattresses including Boori, Babyletto, Stokke and Mamas & Papas models, but does not fit certain cots such as the Bellamy Lotta Cot Bed or Pinolino Jasper Cot Bed. Use the fit list to confirm compatibility; if your cot is on the 'does not fit' list, this sheet is not the right choice.
• Breton Stripe Organic Fitted Cot Sheet: Breton Stripe fits many of the same mattresses as Cypress, including Boori, Babyletto and Stokke, but also does not fit the Bellamy Lotta Cot Bed or Pinolino Jasper Cot Bed. The fit lists are similar, so if your cot is compatible with one, it is likely compatible with the other; the choice comes back to print.
• Meadow Organic Fitted Cot Sheet - SECONDS: Meadow seconds shares the same fit guidance as Cypress, including the same list of compatible and incompatible cots. The seconds condition does not change the fit, so you can use the same compatibility check.

Print and colour: what you see is not always what you get with seconds

Cypress and Breton Stripe are first-quality sheets, so the print should match the product images closely. Meadow is a seconds item, and the product information notes that you may encounter slight colour variations from the images provided online. If exact colour matching matters to your nursery, a first-quality sheet is the safer choice. If you are flexible on shade and want to save, Meadow's imperfections are described as minor and often on the fabric bag rather than the sheet itself.

Care instructions shared by all three sheets

• First wash: Wash separately in cold water with a mild detergent to avoid colours running.
• Routine washing: Machine washable; avoid washing with dark coloured items or anything that may snag the fabric, such as velcro, zips or hooks. A wash bag is recommended.
• Drying: Hang out to dry. Do not dry clean, bleach or tumble dry.
• Ironing: Use a cool iron if needed. Keep away from heat or flame.

Price and value: what the seconds discount buys

The catalog prices show Breton Stripe at USD 44.36 (comparison price USD 59.95), while Cypress and Meadow are both listed at USD 37.77 (comparison price USD 59.95). That means Cypress is currently priced the same as the Meadow seconds, so the usual reason to choose seconds—saving money—does not apply here. If the prices are still the same when you buy, Cypress gives you a first-quality sheet for the same price as the seconds option. Breton Stripe costs a little more but offers a slightly wider stretch.

How to decide

If you want a first-quality sheet and the lowest current price, choose Cypress. If you prefer a stripe print and need the extra width, choose Breton Stripe. Choose Meadow only if you specifically want that print and are comfortable accepting minor imperfections with no returns—and check the price first, because it may not be lower than the first-quality Cypress. In all cases, confirm your cot or mattress appears on the fit list before ordering.
