Top Fitted Sheets
Put the fun back in shopping for kids’ top fitted sheets – or is this easier said than done? Hunting for and selecting bed linen for children can and should indeed be quite a pleasant experience (or adventure!) if you follow a few golden rules. Quality of linen for children’s bed needs to be of a high standard – for obvious reasons. Gone is the excitement of children if the linen they chose and loved start tearing, shrinking and fading after a short period and a couple of washes. Children need hard-wearing linen to avoid these disappointments. You should therefore be an informed, cautious shopper when purchasing bedding for kids.
Kids’ personalities and tastes
Children all have their own personal tastes when it comes to bedding for their own little domain and these should be humored – without sacrificing quality.
It is very important to create a fun-filled, cozy sleep environment for kids. Comfortable linen and blankets, like you get from Nautica Emma, are imperative to ensure peaceful nights – not only for the child but also the parents! Hard, scratchy bedding is not conducive to restful nights and could result in irritable behavior.
Part of allowing your child to express and develop his or her personality is to grant them the right to select top fitted sheets with themes or patterns of their choice, as this is a reflection of their personal characters. The golden rule here is to ensure that the linen of their choice is well made and of good quality and construction. Not an easy balance to maintain but a solution is to make a selection of a variety of top quality bedding and allow children to select from these the patterns they prefer.
Guidelines for selecting quality children’s bed linen
As an adult you will tend to look for bedding with high thread count and extra deep fitted sheets to assure long lasting, hard usage and frequent washing.
On the other side of the coin, kids are more interested in colorful, interesting designs and a soft and smooth ‘feel’. Kids’ bedding is mostly manufactured from cotton or a polyester-cotton blend, which is readily accepted by children.
Virtually any bedding made from percale with a thread count of 120 – 180 will also feel soft and smooth like high count cotton. The quality of kids’ bedding will very much depend on the quality of the raw materials used and the standard of sewing, hemming and in the case of comforters, the quality of filling used.
With an extensive range of high quality brands kids’ top fitted sheets on the market for example: Olive Kids, Dan River, California Kids, Kids Line and many more, it could be great fun for parents and children to go on a bedding hunt!
When money is a bit tight we struggle sometimes on deciding how much we should spend. You can get some very good mixture cotton sheets nowadays, which are very comfortable. For example, Carters do a good range and then at the other end of the scale there is IS-Cal with their king size sheet sets with soft and elegant 300tc Sonoma satin with a fitted foot on top sheet. So what to do!
