May 1, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment 

Finding the right bedding for a toddler can be quite difficult. It is hard to find a place that sells bedding for toddlers and when you are able to find one you have to see if it is right for your kids. Children are very easily swayed by commercial advertising and because of this will begin to scream out for the Dora explorer back pack set that they saw on a bill board or the SpongeBob lunch box they saw on a commercial. But, we as parents can not be swayed by these sudden fads that our children go through especially when it pertains to their bedding. Instead we must look at, the price, thread count, and the over all quality combined with a design they will love to find the right bed set for our kids.

No one seems to do this better than Olive kids. Providing your child with all their bedding needs. They saw quality is in the details, well this is also shown off by their custom pillow cases that have your child’s home stitched in to the fabric given them something to cherish for years to come. When looking for bedding we usually all come to the realization that we will not be able to find everything we need and are looking for all in one place but, with Olive kids if you are able to find something you are interested in like their olive kids out of this world than you will also be able to choose from their matching comforter, pillow case, sheets, duvet cover sets, and more. Their designs are top notch, no longer will you worry about your child’s fading fads. Instead they provide classic designs that have stood the test of time. So if you are looking for bedding for your toddler there can be no better choice.

Modern And Classic Kids Bedding

drseuss 191x300 Modern And Classic Kids BeddingKids bedding is one of those things in life that may be expensive, and in a few years parents have to repeat the process of buying all new sets once their children grow out of their present ones. When shopping for the comforters, quilts, sheets and blankets, there are so many thousands of design options that parents can start to sweat when they try to decide which one to buy that their child will be thrilled enough with to go to bed without much of a fuss. Kids interestingly enough seem to like solid colors and bold, simple prints as well as cartoon character bedding, so the real factors that come into play are the price ranges that you are comfortable with, the color scheme you want to stick to and the quality of the products you are paying money for.

Whether you are interested in one of the many classic designs like animals, transportation or princesses or you are searching for modern looks like geometric shapes and solid stripes, you may want to begin your search on the Internet. There are some very informative online resources that can be of great help to you when trying to coordinate color schemes and designs for your little one. Once you have an idea in mind about colors, characters or shapes, you can then start to narrow down which stores or websites have sets that fit your ideal criteria. You might have a store in mind already that you enjoy shopping at that you might want to try. If you are interested in going to auction websites like eBay, you can start there and see what you find.

Just be sure that you are as specific as possible when you are entering your search terms into a search engine or a website. This way you wont waste a lot of time trying to weed through too many kids bedding products that only somewhat meet your criteria. You might be interested in very particular features for the products, such as blue cotton airplane sheets or organic pink princess patterns.

Speaking of organic items, if your little one has a tendency to suffer from allergies or skin irritations you may want to consider purchasing kids bedding that is certified organic. Be careful though, because just because a label has the words organic or natural on it does not mean that it was grown and processed without toxins and chemicals, so you must make sure that your organic kids bedding has a tag or certificate on it that states that it is certified organic and absolutely free of any dangerous toxins and chemicals.

Things to Consider when Choosing Kids Bedding

jump2 300x200 Things to Consider when Choosing Kids BeddingKids 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.

Choosing these products means the allergy issue is dealt with. Pillows can accumulate a lot of dust even with regular washing. Pillow dust covers are useful underneath the pillow slip. It is recommended that pillows be replaced every few years or sooner for kids with known allergies.
With regards to the choice of fabric, choose natural or organic fabrics. You cannot go wrong with 100% cotton bedding or at least a cotton/polyester mix.

The grown up consideration of safety dealt with, it’s now time to turn your attention to the style and design of the bedding. Time to consult your kids! It’s here where your kid’s imagination and preferences should be used to good effect. It is also with regard to bedding design where your child will be spoilt for choice. Choosing characters from your child’s hobbies helps to narrow down the choice. Choosing characters or themes that appear in bedding sets of sheets, duvet covers and pillow cases, can give an overall co-ordinated feel to the room. Of course you can also find these themes in other kid’s room accessories like kids door knobs, bookends and kids curtains and rugs. Be careful when choosing age and gender specific designs as kids outgrow particular characters. Before you invest in expensive character bedding try to check out if your child’s love for these characters is a lasting feeling or just a passing phase. If you go for age-related character favourites, be prepared to replace them frequently. On the other hand, choosing themes like fairies, bears, and the ocean for example you may be able to change things less frequently as children’s fascination with themes may last longer than a faddy interest in the latest TV character. Kids duvet covers with well chosen themes can last through into teens.

Finally, kids bedding can get dirty very quickly and require regular maintenance, therefore remember to choose fabrics and fillings that are durable and machine washable. Again you cannot go wrong with durable cotton and organic fabrics.

Three Tips When Buying Linen For Your Childrens Bedroom

February 27, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment 

Everyone wants their kids room to look great, but as with everything in life there is more to consider than just the look.

I have two boys and they have taught me more about kids than any book ever could.

1. Practical – Firstly it is worth remembering that most colored fabrics can only be washed at thirty degrees and usually you cannot use stain remover on them.

So, if your child never has food or drink in their room maybe you think that the bedding won’t get that dirty? I had one awful week where between my sons they managed to have a nosebleed, vomit and wet the bed. These are all symptoms of high fevers, so totally unavoidable.

2. Attractive – During the day you may rarely have time to consider the design of your kids bedding, but when you check in on them at night, you want to see them sleeping soundly in a beautiful calm which they deserve after an active day. At these times you may not want to see spider man or a dalek looking back at you!

3. Affordable – When they get a nosebleed and it leaves a stain, you don’t want to be angry that your beautiful bed linen is stained. Or when they leave a pen to leak on it you want to discipline them for not putting the pens away, not for ruining the bed linen. If they don’t mind that there is a stain on their duvet cover they probably won’t understand why it is bothering you so much.

If your child is still at the age when they wet the bed it is worth buying bet mats. Pampers have a very good design, it is very absorbent and unlike plastic sheets, it doesn’t crinkle and the kids are not even aware of its presence.

Finally, how much do you need? You can certainly get by with two sets, this allows for one to be in the wash or drying. If you are choosing two different designs then it is a good idea to keep them similar so you can mix and match pillow and duvet covers if you need to.

Kids Bedding Gifts

February 27, 2010 by admin · Leave a Comment 

kidsjumping4joy 300x200 Kids Bedding GiftsGiving kids bedding and bedding accessories as gifts.   I want to tell you that this certainly is one of my favorite subjects.  I enjoy watching how much excitement is generated by a room when that room is well decorated. Remember the first time your child saw his/her room after it was redecorated? Could you ever forget the excitement and joy your child displayed?  It is a natural thing for kids display their emotions. They do it without thinking about it. Who hasn’t noticed how kids react to things that make them happy?  Children do not pretend at a time like this.  Their reactions are spontaneous.

Just to see kids jumping on their beds and snuggling in the blankets with that big smile on their faces and to watch them as they dance with joy.  These are some of the things that leave us memories that most of us will never forget.  These memories are priceless both for the children and the giver of the gift. That is why most of us do things that excite our children.  It is the joy that children express by having their own room with their things in it.  Things they have picked out for themselves.  Perhaps they have selected the pictures on the wall.  Maybe they helped to choose the color of the paint on the walls.  And if they are really lucky they helped to picked out the bedding on their beds.  They choose what they like best and that is reflected in the blankets and sheets on the beds.  That is why we should know what they like and dislike.  It all reflects in their personalities.

When we think about what would be a great gift for our children or grandchildren.  Sometimes the answer can be as simple as something for their rooms.  This could be the best gift that you could give (not counting your time of course).  As parents and grandparents this should be something that we keep in the back of our minds.  So when the time comes to give a gift to our children or grandchildren we will remember that giving something for their rooms will always be welcomed.  How about giving them a growth chart?  This is where they can check to see how much they are growing.

Getting big is a big deal for children.  This is just one way to give them something that will delight them.  Or, how about considering giving them a clock, or a picture for the wall?  Another idea may be a rug for the floor by their bed.  There are so many different things that we can select from.  Of course it is important to know the personality of the child so you can give them what they really want.  If you go online you will be able to find a great variety of bedding accessories.  And that is why kids bedding and bedding accessories is one of my favorite interior design subjects.  It brings such joy in the lives of children and that helps make life worth the living.
