What could be better than settling into a beautifully made bed, nestling in for the night between super soft sheets? As adults, we love such luxuries especially as they help us get the restful sleep we need.
With this in mind, perhaps we should be thinking along the same lines when it comes to what we put on our children’s beds too. We don’t mean silk sheets and gilded four posters, just simple, good quality children’s bedding. Afterall, a good night’s sleep is the ultimate aim and every little helps.
From single and double duvet sets to luxurious mattresses and quilts, there are plenty of reasons why children’s bedding should be at the top of your home furnishings list!
Children's duvet sets
There is plenty of children’s bedding to choose from on the high street but before you get mesmerised by pretty patterns and striking designs, it would be wise to do a quick quality check. Cheap price tags don’t always equate to materials that will make your child comfortable at night. Polyester for example is prone to clinging to skin and therefore creating discomfort.
Pure cotton is the ideal material for children’s bedding. Breathable, soft and with the ability to give space and prevent sweating during sleep, it is certainly worth the investment.
Organic cotton is even better, made from 100% natural fibres and hypoallergenic as a result. This may be a little more expensive than other options but is extremely kind to the skin and creates a clean sleeping environment that your child will love. For allergy sufferers this is especially recommended. To complement your organic bedding, why not go for a wool all seasons duvet too? These have been awarded the Allergy UK Seal of Approval and can be used all year round.
Children's bedspreads and quilts
Beautiful bedspreads and quilts can make a huge difference when dressing children’s beds. Not only do they bring colour and texture to brighten a room, they also add that little extra weight to ensure a super secure sleep during cooler nights.
Used for added warmth over a duvet in winter or alone during summer months, they are a versatile and practical addition to any child’s bedroom. If you choose to buy plain or neutral duvet sets, a lovely bright bedspread is all you’ll need to create a fresh and cheerful bedroom.
Children's mattresses
Without a good mattress, the finest bedding in the world is pretty much useless when it comes to getting a good night’s sleep.
The growing spines of children require something firm yet comfortable which has good support. Pocket sprung mattresses are highly recommended, as opposed to memory foam, which can put the spine under stress and shape the body over time.
A mattress which is spacious and supportive is as crucial for our children as it is for us. At Little Lucy Willow, our luxury children’s mattresses have an inner miracoil spring system and rest perfectly against the slatted base of our beds.
Children's cushions
Children love to have that little something extra on their bed, whether it’s a favourite cuddly toy or a whole gang of teddies!
When they get a little older and the furry friends get relegated to the cupboard however, they’ll need something else to take their place and a cushion or two is the answer.
Create a cosy and comfortable day bed with gorgeous cushions that your child - and their friends - will love. Somewhere to read, talk or play, all thanks to a pretty cushion or two!
In our Little Lucy Willow children’s bedding collection, you will even find cushions to match our quilts and bedspreads. From paisley and patchwork to stars and stripes, there's a colour and pattern for just about everyone!
