Bunk Bed Bedding

Bunk beds have been a popular choice for families looking to save space in their child’s bedroom. And kids love them, because they’re different and fun! But if you’re tired of constantly having to straighten up the sheets, pick up the blankets, and otherwise tidy up the bed, then this article is for you. You’re about to learn why bunk bed bedding is a better choice than regular bedding, and can make your life much easier…and neater!

The first major problem with using regular bedding on a bunk bed is the comforter. If you’ve tried using a regular comforter on a bunk, then you know what happens…it ends up on the floor more than it stays on the bed. Not only is that annoying, but could be dangerous. You don’t want your young, sleepy child going up and down the ladder in the middle of the night to retrieve his blanket.

Instead, you need to get a bunk bed cap. Bunk bed caps are special comforters designed specifically for bunk beds. They are fitted with an elastic band along the bottom, so they fit snugly to the mattress and stay in place through the night. Many retailers have a limited color selection, so be sure to shop around…some places have matching pillow shams, which makes the bunk bed look more stylish and complete. Also, make sure that the cap is easily washable and made of a durable fabric because on a kids bunk bed, it’s going to go through a lot of wear and tear!

Another problem is using regular fitted sheets on a bunk bed. If you’re like most people, your kids bunk beds are up against a wall. That makes the beds safer, but it also presents a big inconvenience for you when you’re making the bed…all that crawling across the mattress to secure the bottom sheet, then tucking and tucking the flat sheet so it all stays put and looks neat.

A good solution for this is to use attached sheets. Attached sheets are a top sheet and fitted sheet stitched together, either attached at the center foot or side attached. Side attached is easier for bunk beds. The sheets are sewn together down one side and at the bottom. Once the set is on the mattress, all you have to do to make the bed is grab the flat sheet and pull it across the bed. It’s so simple, that even your kids will have no excuse not to make their beds! And they keep the beds looking neat and tidy, even if your child is a ‘kicker’ or otherwise messy sleeper.

If you haven’t tried specialty bunk bed bedding yet, you owe it to yourself to have a look. With a fitted cap and attached sheets, your child’s room can finally look as crisp and put together as you’ve always imagined it. And because it’s so easy to use and maintain, your child can finally take over the responsibility of keeping it that way!
