Almost a third of his life, a small child spends in a dream. Yes, and it is very important for older children to get enough sleep and have a good rest - their activity, working capacity and mood for the whole next day depend on it. And the guys would like to go to bed more in a soft, comfortable bed, rather than in a bed where there is a “hard sheet” and a “bite blanket”. And the key to a comfortable and relaxing sleep, of course, is a well-chosen bedding.
Baby bedding: size, pattern, quality
You can talk a lot about how ideal children's underwear should be. Which kit to choose: colorful with bright and large drawings or simple with a little abstraction? And maybe completely monophonic? From calico or chintz? However, one fact will remain undeniable - it is necessary that the bedding is of high quality, and it should be comfortable to sleep on them.
Nowadays, there are a variety of bedding options for children - with the image of your favorite characters from fairy tales and cartoons, sleepy teddy bears and affectionately smiling little stars. For each age, you can choose the appropriate pattern and color. The main thing is not to make a mistake with the choice of the manufacturer. How often, when buying cheap goods of foreign origin, immediately after meeting with the washing machine, we are horrified to see that the laundry has faded, the pattern has turned into a blurry faded stain, and the dimensions of the bed steel are several times smaller.
How to determine the size?
The usual set, whether it’s adult or children's, consists of a sheet, a pair of pillowcases and a duvet cover. However, the size article is different for everyone. For example, the dimensions of baby bedding in a newborn’s crib will look like this: a pillowcase - 40x60, a duvet cover - 112x146, a sheet - 127x146 centimeters.
When choosing a bed for a child, it is important to remember that children's skin easily responds to any dye added when coloring clothes. Therefore, do not chase so fashionable drawings of princesses and cars, ponies and cartoon characters. For the crumbs, a monophonic kit with a small, discreet pattern is best suited. The set of newborns is supplemented with a protective side, canopy, pillow, mattress cover and side pockets, which are also worth choosing in one color scheme.
For older children
The sizes of baby bedding in the crib are slightly smaller than the standard ones for an older baby. For a child of kindergarten age, it is better to purchase a kit with the following dimensions: a sheet - 100x145, a pillowcase - 40x60, a duvet cover - 110x145 centimeters. It should be said right away that there are also Euro sizes, which are much larger than domestic ones. Therefore, before buying, you should definitely look not only at the colors, but also at the sizes of baby bedding. The table is usually drawn on the kit label.
You also need to carefully study the composition. The material (chintz, calico, linen, satin, cotton) should not contain toxic compounds, as well as smell strongly - this will directly show that the paint contains unsafe dyes. When buying a children's bedding set, the sizes need to be considered. In this case, it is worth abandoning accessories with seams. They will give the child constant discomfort.
Bedding for teens
The sizes of children's bedding, of course, differ from the options sewn for teenagers. For children of this age, there is a standard size chart. For example, a pillowcase should be at the level of 50x70 cm, a sheet - 150x220, and the size of the duvet cover will increase - 145x215 centimeters. One thing remains unchanged - the choice of quality when buying. Looking at the color options, one can safely use imagination. The brightest and boldest decisions are suitable for teenagers: starting from avant-garde and ending with new-fangled heroes of fairy tales, animated series, films.
Again, it is worth paying attention to the woven composition. It is better to abandon the kit, the synthetic content of which will exceed the natural basis. Despite the fact that the skin of older children is not as susceptible as that of babies, it is not worth risking health. So, what should we know first of all, picking up baby bedding? We must study the size and composition of the material.
What you need to know more?
What can happen if you choose the wrong baby bedding? The size of the selected set must match the dimensions of the bed. Usually standard values are given, but today many bedrooms are made to order, and, therefore, the data may simply not match. Going for linen, it is worth measuring the length and width of the bed in advance, so that subsequently it does not turn out that the bed is simply small.
How can I find out the sizes of baby bedding? The table is usually located on the kit label - in any case, from domestic manufacturers. Questions may arise with Chinese bedding, the composition and size of which is usually indicated in their own language. It is best to immediately abandon such acquisitions, no matter how profitable and inexpensive they may seem.
Why is it important to choose bedding by age?
In fact, this is really important when you buy baby bedding. The size, seemingly having a slight difference, can not greatly affect the child’s sleep. In fact, it can. It directly depends on how comfortable the baby will feel in a dream.
For example, baby bedding. The sizes are given for three age groups, with the calculation of the child's mobility, his body weight, as well as pastime on the bed. After all, if the baby sleeps most of the day, then the teenager spends only night hours on the bed.
So that the newborn does not get confused in a dream in a sheet, it is made a little more than the one that is included in the standard set. The sizes of children's bedding in a crib will differ from sleeping accessories for teenagers - it’s even funny to imagine an adult young man sleeping under a duvet cover, which only half covers it. Quality, composition and size are the main factors that determine how comfortable a child will be during sleep.
