Bedding & Mattress Tips For "Big-Kid" Toddler Beds

Big-kid beds call for big-kid bedding. The toddler bedding at ToddlerBeds.com has that grownup style toddlers love, but it's also made with a toddler's unique sleeping needs in mind (shhhh, don't tell your toddler). As you browse our selection of comforter sets, sheets, and mattresses, use these shopping points to find the best bedding for your little crib connoisseur.

Comforters Most crib mattress-sized bedding sets on the market these days are either too expensive or too infant-oriented in style. The comforter sets at ToddlerBeds.com are designed to provide classic all-ages style at an affordable price. Our bedding colors and themes inject contemporary style into bedroom decors, yet they're always kid-conscious, and will appeal to boys and girls even beyond the age of two or three. Comforters should be comfortable, especially for kids. Our comfy comforters are made from 220-thread count 100% cotton percale. A comforter, top sheet, fitted sheet, and pillowcase are included in our four-piece comforter sets. The comforter and top sheet are fitted at the end to help keep bedding in place during the night. Some of our sets also feature reversible comforters and pillow shams.

Sheets
The versatile contemporary colors of our toddler sheet sets may be the first thing you notice, but it's their functional design that ensures a good night's sleep for toddlers. They include pillowcases that are designed to keep the pillow in the case where it belongs, and sheets with foot-end gathers so the sheet stays put and feet stay warm throughout the night.

Like our comforters, our sheets are washing machine-safe, and made from comfortable, non-irritating 100% cotton with a 220 thread count. Our three-piece sheet sets include a top sheet, fitted sheet, and pillowcase.

Mattresses
Our toddler beds are sized for crib mattresses; this helps parents save money in the transition from crib to bed. However, you may find that the mattress needs of your toddler change with the big move to the big bed. A firm mattress is best for cribs, but toddlers often prefer a soft mattress. To plan ahead with a best of both worlds solution, we recommend a two-in-one, dual firmness toddler mattress, which is firm on one side and soft on the other.

Points to look for in a toddler mattress include firm edges to prevent sagging, and easy-clean antibacterial surfaces. Our selection includes innerspring and memory foam toddler mattresses. To prolong the life of your mattress, we recommend topping it with a waterproof, hypo-allergenic mattress pad.
