Young children love to play, learn their study lessons and sleep. Indeed, children must get as much sleep as possible for better health and mental fitness. The right bedding and sleeping conditions determine whether your child gets good sleep or not.
Let your tiny tot have a say in what you buy for their bed. After all, they are going to use it, and if they don’t like it, they will not be enthused about bedtime or keeping their sleeping area neat. So sit down with your child when you start buying their bedding online. Here’s a handy tip to begin with: pick something exciting like a Disney Kids collection in bedsheets and your kid will be thrilled to bits! Now ask yourself these questions when you start buying:
The younger the kid, the more careful you have to be about the kind of bed linen you buy. If it’s an infant, then you must have cool cotton bed sheets for their crib – babies cannot regulate body temperature as well as older children can. Use fitted sheets for babies cribs. If the child is a toddler or adolescent, then they will like colourful bed sheets – try Disney cars double bedding and matching Disney cars towel to get their attention! You don’t necessarily need a fitted sheet for an older child’s bed, though it is easier to snap on.
Children have sensitive skin. The fabrics in both their clothing and bedding should be super soft and breathable. Cotton bed sheets are best for them, especially hygro-cotton that becomes softer with every wash. If you are worried about seasonal infections and viruses attacking your sleeping child, get antibacterial/antiviral bedsheets from leading brands. These kill a multitude of bacteria and retain their power even with regular washing. Steer clear of satin and silk sheets for your child’s bed even if they insist on getting them – these are not skin-friendly fabrics. Avoid cotton and synthetic blends, too.
Picking the right size of bedsheet and comforter is key. Usually, the bedsheet should be about eight inches larger than the mattress on all sides if you are using a flat sheet. If the sheets are too small, they will just slip out from the corners and sides and make a mess. On the other hand, overlarge sheets will not get tucked under the mattress all the way and will bunch up under your child’s body. Measure their mattress first before you pick the right size of bedsheet. If their bed is a single one, a single sized Disney cars comforter will do splendidly.
This is a big consideration for children’s bedding. Young children may have accidents in bed while they sleep, or they may eat food or drink a juice in bed and spill it by mistake. Or they might jump on the bed during play and get grubby footprints everywhere. Their bedding must be cleaned regularly to avoid stains from setting in, and from bacterial and fungal growths from setting up base in the bedding. Fungal growths are bad for the skin, hair, eyes and respiratory tract. Make sure you wash your child’s bedding the moment it looks dirty. Otherwise, washing after one week of use is sufficient. Do not dry clean or bleach the bedding, and do not dry in direct sunlight. Which tips do you use when buying children’s bedding? Tell us in the comments section below.
