I don’t know about you but the sheets I have on my kids beds have always been white and after a few years of horrors in the night
they are now a slightly off-white really. This is despite my commitment to white washes – there just always seems to be a coloured sock in there doesn’t there? So what a fabulous idea right from the heart of Hove with the launch of a stylish and modern organic baby bedding brand called Magnus & Mouse. These beautiful soft, safety tested, organic cotton sheets will help to create a truly beautiful nursery and the scandi-inspired range will have you wishing they did double and king-size!
I’ve never really come across anything interesting in the bedding department especially for babies and toddlers. I also kept both of my kids in sleeping bags, and in cots for that matter, for as long as I possibly could. My thinking was, even if they could potentially climb out of the cot, the sleeping bag provides the ultimate deterrent to lifting their leg over the side – it’s just not possible. So to avoid bumps in the night my sleeping bags were used for some years.
Getting your little one to sleep is so important in those early years, they are happier after a sleep and therefore so are you! So creating a calm and relaxed atmosphere in their nursery/cot is a top priority, less is most definitely more.
Magnus & 
Mouse have solved the problem of how to create that calm space by repositioning the importance of a good-looking stylish sheet, and have branched out from standard pinks, blues or Disney characters, to deliver a gorgeous selection of 100% organic cotton bedding that is so soft on the face as it comes out of the tumble dryer you just want to snuggle up with it. Don’t get me wrong I love the Egyptian cotton on my bed, but it can be cold in winter, so it is with slight jealousy I’ve been making my sons bed recently with his new “Roary the Lion” fitted sheet. The packaging is gorgeous so it makes a lovely gift if you know someone who is expecting, or a really useful and stylish birthday gift.
Penny and Isobel, the brains behind Magnus & Mouse, met in University Halls over 14 years ago, and bring 
combined experience from some of the UK’s well known brands including Lloyds TSB, Cadburys, River Island, Fenwick department stores and The White Company and they trained in marketing and textile design respectively. Having decided to leave the corporate world to spend more time with their families in sunny Brighton the business fits perfectly with their family life and has the potential to be one of the hottest new kids brands internationally. Magnus & Mouse are in fact their children only Mouse is really Maisie’s nickname.
The range which includes fitted cot bed, cot, crib and moses basket sheets and blankets, is specifically created for newborns and the toddler years. All the bedding is super soft, safety tested, easy to use, and stands up to the rigours of the washing machine, which we all know is endless when you have children! The collection has been designed with parents and safety in mind and the fully elasticated fitted sheets are tailored specifically to each standard mattress size, for the added reassurance of a secure fit so no more hourglass shaped sheets on your babies bed at last.
