Purchasing Baby Bedding with Confidence: Important Details to Remember
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009 Subscribe To Our Feed
The perfect nursery usually starts with the perfect crib set. So you’ve chosen the whole nursery decor, right down to the stuffed animals that will sit on the dresser… but aren’t you forgetting something? Babies sleep a lot and so their bedding is very important. Take these things into account before making a decision:
- Choose natural, soft fibers like 100% cotton.
- Keep in mind that you’re not going to have a lot of time with a new baby in the house, so you will want bedding that’s as easy to care for as possible – in other words, make sure it’s machine washable.
- The crib sheet has to fit the crib mattress properly, or there could be a saftey concern. If your sheets don’t fit as well as you’d like, but a set of elastic straps that go under the mattress and make the crib sheet fit more tightly.
- A bedding set might seems like the most economical way to buy bedding, but this is not necessarily true. A three piece bedding set includes a comforter, a crib sheet, and a bumper pad. But, the American Academy of Pediatrics questions the safety of crib bumpers and recommends against using loose blankets or comforters on a baby under one year old. Purchasing separates can be smarter and cheaper than buying a bedding set. Buying separates has the added advantage of giving you a lot more freedom in choosing bedding – you can mix and match to get a truly unique look.
- And finally, after taking everything else into consideration, consider the theme of the room and coordinate with the furniture and other accessories you already have.
Consider how long you will need to use the bedding when planning your budget. By using a convertible crib or a toddler bed that takes standard-sized crib sheets, you can continue to use your bedding for several years. If you’re just starting your family and think you might have more children, try neutral baby bedding like the Vintage bedding set, so that you can use it again. On the other hand, if you are sure there will be no more babies, or if you like to redecorate frequently, cheaper bedding is probably more cost-efficient. But whatever you decide, you should make sure you have several sets on hand – you’re going to need them!
