Kid bedding




Kids even as young as toddler age have a notion of what they like and don’t like and that includes what they would like to see on their bedding. They may have favourite colours or characters and these can be a great starting point for choosing bedding that your kids are going to love seeing on their bed.

When choosing your children’s bedding it is useful to include them in some part of the decision making process. A child’s room is an expression of their personality even at toddler age and they will undoubtedly want to have some say about how they want their room to look, particularly their bedding. The following are some things to consider when choosing kids bedding.

The safety of bedding fabrics and fillings is an important consideration. Some children can be allergic to particular fabrics and/or fillings for duvets and pillows. With regard to duvet fillings it is wise to avoid duck feathers or down fillings. Opt for 100% fibre-filled duvets e.g. polyester or other suitable artificial fibres. Always check the labels. With regard to pillows the same rules apply. Opt for foam or other synthetic fillings for pillows. Some manufacturers advertise their products as having ‘anti-allergic’ materials inside.
