When you are setting up a nursery or a child's room, choose functional furniture that will last for years. Opt for multi-purpose furniture such as convertible cribs that will grow with your child. Once you have equipped the child's room with smart furniture, it's time to look for comfortable bedding. Choose a playful baby bedding set that will provide peaceful sleep and comfort to baby.

Getting a set or two of baby bedding for the nursery is a good idea as babies need their sleep to be well-rested and playful. A baby bedding set usually consists of a fitted sheet, a quilt, a crib bumper, a sham and a crib skirt. Opt for bedding made from natural fabric such as pure cotton or organic cotton, as it is cozy and safe for the baby.

When choosing baby bedding, the safety aspect is very important. Make sure to choose fitted sheets that closely fit the mattress to avoid slips when baby is sleeping. The bumper should be tied securely to the crib to prevent it from coming off during baby's nap time. It's also a good idea to remove the bumper when baby is able to sit up unaided, as he or she may try to tug it off.

Quality is equally important when choosing baby bedding. Choose crib sheets in natural, breathable fabric such as cotton and opt for a thread count of 200 or more. Select a soft quilt with pure cotton batting to create a comfortable sleep space for your baby.

Girls bedding for toddlers and preteens also has to be chosen with the same amount of care. Select bedding in vivid shades that your little girl will love. A girls bedding set includes basics such as fitted and flat bed sheets, quilts and duvets for warmth and colorful pillow shams. To give the bed a finishing touch, introduce some decorative accents such as playful throw pillows.

To create a bedroom she will truly love, ask for your little girl's help when choosing girls bedding for her room. She will be delighted if you select quilts and duvet covers in her favorite colors. You can choose from delightful themes such as sports-inspired bedding, bedding with floral appliqu©s or bedding with a beach theme.

Create a room that lets your kids study, play, and sleep in style with the help of functional furniture and stylish bedding.
