Why the Maia Collection stands out
-
Premium materials & craftsmanship: The pieces in the Maia Collection are made from certified pure organic cotton - delivering softness and quality that cares for your baby’s skin. Gaia Baby
-
Elegant, muted palette: The colour-story is subtle and timeless - choose from Soft White, Sand or Blush, and mix & match items to create a calming aesthetic. Gaia Baby
-
Award-winning design: The collection has been recognised for its design quality, gaining the Junior Design Awards 2024. Gaia Baby
-
Versatility for nursery & play: The items aren’t just for those first months — things like a generous canopy, playmat or braided pillow enable the space to evolve as your child grows. Gaia Baby
Key pieces worth highlighting
-
Maia Muslin Canopy - A generous canopy that drapes over a cot or becomes a feature in a toddler’s reading/play nook. Gaia Baby
-
Maia Muslin Playmat - Soft, washable and perfect for tummy time or toddler play. Gaia Baby
-
Maia Braided Pillow - Adds texture and interest as décor, either border of a playmat or on a bed; note: not intended as a cot bumper. Gaia Baby
-
Maia Muslin Blanket & Fitted Sheets - The blanket (120×120cm) doubles as a swaddle or light throw, and the fitted sheets come in two sizes (60×120 cm & 70×140 cm) to accommodate growth. Gaia Baby
-
Maia Muslin Sleeveless Sleeping Bag (2.5 tog) - Prioritises safe sleep: fully breathable cotton, sleeveless for better arm movement, 1-way zipper for night changes. Gaia Baby
Designing your nursery with Maia in mind
Here are a few ideas to make the most of the Maia collection.
-
Start with a neutral base: Use the Soft White or Sand fitted sheet as your foundational tone for the cot.
-
Add texture and softness: Layer in the muslin blanket and playmat - muslin’s airy nature gives softness without overwhelming the space.
-
Create a mini-zone for play or reading: Drape the canopy over a cot corner or small armchair, pair with the braided pillow and playmat to define a cosy spot as the baby grows.
-
Accent with blush: The Blush tone offers a gentle pop of colour - whether it’s a decorative pillow set or a subtle throw - and will age well into toddlerhood.
-
Growth-proof setup: Because the collection is designed to adapt from newborn to toddler, you’re investing in pieces that carry through for years rather than just months.
Safety & care best-practices
-
Decorative pillows (like those in the Maia Decorative Pillow Set) should not be used in a crib or cot due to the risk of suffocation. They can be used under adult supervision in a play area. Gaia Baby
-
Braided pillows should not be used as cot bumpers. Gaia Baby
-
For the blanket: wash in cold water with a gentle, fragrance-free detergent, avoid fabric softeners (which can reduce breathability), either dry on low heat or air-dry to preserve softness. Gaia Baby
Who this collection is right for
-
Parents seeking a calm, minimalist nursery aesthetic rather than bold, bright themes.
-
Families who value quality materials and longevity - not just items for the first few months.
-
Those wanting a collection that evolves with their child - from baby’s sleep zone to toddler’s play or reading nook.
-
Anyone who prefers mix-and-match flexibility within a cohesive colour palette rather than one fixed theme.
