American Flag Bed Set
Set a Budget. Boy crib bedding sets and bedding sets in general can be quite expensive but you don't have to spend a fortune. It's important to know how much you can afford to spend before you actually go out and buy crib linens. You don't want to go shopping without a budget because you could potentially go broke.
You will also need to check with the parents to see what type of crib has been purchased. Some colors go best with certain finished cribs. Also, others will convert to toddler beds, daybeds or full size beds and you will want to coordinate the bedding set to make the overall theme of the room.
When it comes to sheets, you need to consider thread count. What exactly is thread count? It's the number of vertical and horizontal threads in a square inch of fabric. In linens thread count ranges from 80 to 700, although most sheets sold commercially are in the range of 180 to 320. The higher the thread count, the softer and silkier the sheets feel. Sheets with higher thread counts are usually more expensive as well. But be aware, some manufacturers make questionable claims of higher thread counts.
Another popular option for baby crib Bedding sets is polka dot, as it allows you to choose absolutely any color. For example, it can be yummy vanilla and mocha, juicy kiwi and cherry, bright tangerine and lime, fresh raspberry and avocado, or calm tin and sand. Polka dots can create a very specific feeling in your baby's room, such as soothing or energizing, chic or traditional, classic or modern.
The fabric your baby bedding is made of is of utmost importance. Make sure it is durable and easy to wash because you sure will have to wash it frequently!
Also try look for sets that are made of cotton or wool. Those that are made of wool are extremely comfortable, while those are made of cotton are usually hypoallergenic. Hypoallergenic is always a good choice for babies, as you never going to be sure what allergies they may have. Keep this in mind looking for you sets, if you may be bombarded it with cotton sets that are not hypoallergenic. If you do want to go with one that is made of cotton, ensure that is hypoallergenic for the safety and comfort of your baby.
First and foremost, be sure your crib is a standard size. Like full-size bedding, baby bedding is designed to fit a certain size crib. You might want to buy the bedding first and design the room around it - this will avoid clashes or impossible-to-match wallpaper and/or paint. Baby bedding should be made of durable, washable fabrics and be well-constructed. If you choose a crib that's neutral in color, it will be easier to coordinate the bedding with it.
Aside from the above factors which are most important of course, new parents must decide how to assemble the baby bedding set. There are two choices when it comes to this. Each piece can be bought separately, but this tends to be the more expensive route. In our experience, buying a bedding set is the most economical and practical choice. Not to mention, it's easier to match the bedding set with the overall theme of the nursery and there are fewer considerations for color coordination.
