Toddler Bedding Sets

Don't know where to shop for toddler bedding sets? Or the stores that you go to have very limited choices?

Where To Shop

Toddler bedding sets are indeed hard to find, especially if you want sets that come with 100% cotton sheets. One brand that sells mainly 100% cotton sheets is Olive Kids. Buy their bedding sets if you want to give your toddler a good night's sleep on full cotton sheets. But if your toddler prefers characters such as Disney cars or Princess bedding sets and you are not too fussy over the type of fabrics used, you can also try going to Amazon. It is one place with a very wide selection of toddler bedding sets and you are bound to find one that you would like there.

Anyway, you might ask what type of sheets should I buy and would be suitable for my toddler? If this is what you want to know, let's explore further.

Cotton vs Cotton-Polyester Bedding Sets

Toddler bedding sets usually come in 100% cotton or a cotton-polyester blend. Most people choose sheets for their toddler based on the characters or patterns rather than the type of material of the sheets. But if most of us would prefer sleeping on a full cotton sheet, why would we want to buy anything different for our toddler, given the fact that they would be sleeping more hours than we do.

The main difference between a 100% cotton and cotton-polyester sheet lies in its crispness and "breathability". Imagine lying on a 100% cotton sheet on those hot summer nights. Absorbent, cool and you won't feel "trapped" in your own sweat. It also feels crisp to the touch and tends to last longer for those with higher thread counts, thus saving you money in the long run. Usually, bed linens with a thread count of 180 to 400 would be able to provide a soft and smooth feel while withstanding numerous washings. Generally, 100% cotton bedding sets are also more expensive than the cotton-polyester blend.

On the other hand, polyester sheets have fewer wrinkles and would make a bed look neat and tidy. I have learned that polyester materials absorb dyes better and perhaps, that is why they are often used for kids bedding sets because they make the sheets more colorful. Although a polyester sheet may feel soft, it does not breathe as well and it tends to develop a "pilling" effect. This is when the polyester breaks down and results in small bumps or balls all over the sheet. When this happens, it is time you shop for another bedding set as your toddler might just find herself sleeping on a piece of sandpaper.

Apart from fabric, you also need to decide between simple patterned and Disney or cartoon character bedding sets. The risk of buying character bedding sets is toddlers may fast outgrow them. For instance, how long do you think your toddler's fascination with Elmo would last? One practical guide is to use timeless patterns such as stars, flowers or animals if you think you would be using the sets for more than a year. If you have the habit of changing bedding sets yearly, then buy sheets and comforters with cartoon characters on them, if you must.
