Decorating your nursery with designer baby bedding
When equipping your nursery, the beddings should probably be a top priority. Choosing the right ones for your baby’s crib can bring a whole new light on the whole room. Designer baby beddings are usually a bit more expensive than regular ones, but come with top quality, both in the looks and the texture. The fabric and materials are softer, the colors last longer and the overall feeling the baby will get is of fussiness and warmth.
Remember that your new born baby has a sensitive skin, and rubbing it against low-end bed sheets can cause all sorts of rashes, so you should choose a top quality set, with high thread counts to ensure softness. This article tries to outline a few tips that will help you choose the right designer baby bedding.
What’s in the box
A designer baby bedding set should usually include a quilt, bumpers, a crib skirt and a fitted sheet. It could be wise to open the package and make sure everything is inside before buying it. Granted, if a designer puts his name on a product then such “accidents” shouldn’t happen, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
Thread count
The thread count, or threads per inch, is the number of fabric threads that lie on a one by one inch square. It’s easy to figure out that the higher the value, the softer the bed sheets will feel. Don’t settle for anything less than 200 – as a matter of fact look for TPI’s of 250 or higher.
Look for extras
It’s quite often that designer baby beddings are bundled with other products, like toy boxes, wallpapers or even pieces of furniture. It could be a wise idea to purchase more items by the same designer to make sure your baby’s room has a consistent look.
Possible rebates
Especially with nowadays economic crisis, we are all looking to get the best possible value for the dollar spent, and this shouldn’t be different when purchasing designer baby bedding. If you can buy more than one set and are offered a discount, go for it. It would be wise to get at least three or four of these, as you will have to clean them quite often and it’s not always that you have the time to do it.
Last, but not least, don’t forget that your baby needs its share of fun. Don’t go for dull looking designer baby bedding, when there are so many cheerful, vivid colored ones to choose from. Pick bed sheets with cute animals, cartoons or even action super heroes. Be creative!
