Toddler Bedding Sets

They grow so fast

So the day has finally come for your child to graduate from the crib and move into a little bed of their own. Picking a toddler set for them can be a daunting task, especially for first time parents who don't know what to look for. There are several things you should keep in mind before buying your toddler a bedding set, aside from just the colors and patterns. Below is a list of tips that should help you out when buying a toddler bedding set.

1. Think fun. Remember that you are dealing with a toddler, so choose bright colors and interesting patterns for your toddler bedding set.

2. Accessorize. Include matching window valences, lamps, accent pillows, wall clocks, growth charts, and even rugs, to fill out the entire room in a uniform manner.

3. Be aware that toddler bedding sheets typically only include a single comforter, a single fitted sheet and cover sheet, and one pillowcase. Usually, additional matching pillowcases can be purchased along with your set or purchased separately.

4. When it comes to the fabrics available for toddler bedding sets, you don't have very many options to choose from. This is probably a good thing. You can generally choose from 100 percent cotton sheets, or flannel cotton sheets for the colder winter months. There's no need for silk, satin, or velvet here.

5. Since most toddlers are still in the potty training stage of their life, a quilted, waterproof mattress pad might be a good thing to include in your toddler bedding set.

6. Lucky for you, most toddler bedding sets are safe for both washing machines and dryers. True, cotton tends to shrink a bit when it is washed, but most manufacturers understand this point as well and adjust their sizes accordingly.

7. Some of the higher end toddler bedding sets come with pre-pasted, matching wall borders to aid in the overall decorating process of your toddler's room.

Bedding set styles

Toddler bedding sets, like most bedding sets for kids of all ages, prominently feature various themes such as sports, animated characters, Barbie, teddy bears, etc. So finding a pattern or design to fill out your toddler's bedroom should be a breeze, whether boy or girl. You might choose a cute gone fishing theme for your male toddler, or a more elegant design featuring Victorian throw pillows for your little princess toddler. The options are virtually limitless.
