What are dry sheets and why do I need them for my baby?

Dry sheets (also called waterproof mattress protectors) are placed under your baby on the bed or crib mattress. They protect the mattress from urine, milk spills, or other accidents. The top layer stays dry to the touch while the waterproof bottom layer prevents any liquid from reaching the mattress.

Are dry sheets safe for newborns to sleep on?

Yes, dry sheets are safe for newborns when used correctly. Place the dry sheet flat and smooth on the mattress — never use it as a loose covering over the baby. Ensure it fits snugly without any bunching that could pose a risk.

How often should I wash a baby dry sheet?

Wash dry sheets every 2-3 days or immediately after any accident. Keep 2-3 on rotation so you always have a clean one available. Machine wash in cold or warm water with gentle detergent. Avoid bleach, which can damage the waterproof layer.

Will a printed dry sheet fade after multiple washes?

Zikku dry sheets use skin-safe, non-toxic prints that are wash-resistant. Washing in cold water and air drying (rather than machine drying on high heat) will keep the colours vibrant for longer.

Dry Sheets

Waterproof dry sheets that protect your baby's mattress, cot, and changing area. A good dry sheet keeps the surface clean and dry during nappy changes, oil massages, and sleep. Our dry sheets feature a soft absorbent top layer and a fully waterproof backing — so leaks stay on the sheet, not on the mattress beneath.
