Complete Your Bedroom Oasis With Comforters
Consider the different types of materials that children's bedding offers when making your purchase. Cotton is usually the way to go when it comes to dressing a child's bed. This fabric is breathable so they will stay cool on summer nights, yet it is thick enough to also keep them snug in the winter. Additionally, cotton is very durable so it will last through many washings and wetting accidents.
Being able to keep the baby protected in the crib is always important. The use of crib bumpers is something to watch for in bedding sets. Many sets will include these bumpers that will be placed around the bars of the bed. This is so that a good cushion can be placed around the walls of the bed. The baby will not be harmed in the event that the baby rolls into the bed walls.
Duvets go back at least 250 years to Europe, where they were filled with the down feathers of the eider duck, known for their warmth and lightness. Nowadays duvets can be filled with any of a variety of materials, such as silk, wool, down, feathers, or synthetic polyester. Unlike comforters, which go on top of sheets and blankets, duvets are intended to be used by themselves. In some cultures, one duvet goes underneath and one on top. (The bottom duvet is similar to what we might call a feather bed.) In this way duvets take the place of sheets, blankets, and quilts--simplifying bed making.
Consider Making Your Own Bedding. You don't have to be an expert seamstress to make your own crib linens. Your baby isn't going to be picky and you don't even need a sewing machine. You could pick up a cute fitted sheet and then create a baby blanket using soft fabrics such as flannels or fleece.
The feel of the bedding you have can also affect how well you sleep. If you have cheap, itchy sheets, you are likely to not be as comfortable. Also, some of the poor Bedding sets out there sound like paper as you move around in bed, which could wake up a light sleeper. On the other hand, having a quality bedding set can offer you the right amount of softness and comfort necessary to help you sleep. They are usually noiseless when you turn over so they do not disturb you while you are asleep.
As for baby nursery decoration, if the parents know the baby's gender, this obviously makes a big difference. For boys, toys like cars, airplanes, fire trucks and the like make a great finishing touch. And of course for girls, barbie dolls, fairies, butterflies, etc. Of course non-gender specific baby crib bedding sets are also available and can be considered if the gender of the baby is not known, or if the new parents find something in this category to their liking.
The temperature of your bedroom is important when you are trying to sleep. However, no matter how warm or cool the air is, you may still not be able to sleep without quality bedding. If you find that you covers are keeping you too hot or too cool, you may want to change to a better fabric for the season. Having a bedding set that will help regulate your body temperature can help you get a restful night's sleep.
