Choosing the best crib bedding set available online can put a new mother into a quandary. Crib bedding sets come in four-piece, six-piece, nine-piece and ten-piece varieties depending on the brand. Sets are designed neutrally as well as in prints specifically for girls or boys. Brands include Trend Lab, Doodlefish, Gustav Maxwell, Alli Taylor and Nursery to name just a few.

What’s Included

Ten-piece sets can come with quilt, bumper pad, fitted sheet, crib skirt, diaper stacker, valance, wall hangings and mobile. If you choose a nine-piece set, you can usually expect to receive a quilt, fitted sheet, crib bumper pad, skirt, diaper stacker, pillow, toy bag and a couple valances. Six-piece sets can contain a crib bumper pad, quilt, sheet, crib skirt, diaper stacker and valance. Included in the four-piece bedding set is a bumper pad, quilt, fitted sheet and crib skirt.

Regardless of the set you choose, nearly all crib sets come with a crib comforter, crib bumper, crib skirt and fitted crib sheet.

Accessory Items

Additional accessories can also be included such as hampers, musical mobiles, rugs, storage containers, frames, chairs, lamps, shades and ottomans.

Of course, one does have to be cautious when choosing any crib bedding sets
as you don’t want your baby exposed to any risk of suffocation. Therefore, make sure what you do select is durable and soft and is placed in your baby’s crib with safety in mind.

Your Best Bet

If you want to keep the crib bedding sets for future children, probably picking neutral colors is your best option. In addition, if you want to stay within your budget as well as decorate your baby’s nursery with more ease, probably a 9 or 10-piece bedding set is your best choice. If, for example, you buy a 4-piece set along with any of the accessory items, the cost will be higher than if you begin with buying the 9 or 10-piece set. Therefore, if you plan to accessorize when buying a 4-piece set, your best bet would be to pick any of the crib bedding sets with 9 or 10 pieces.

The Best Fabrics

Fabrics are also important to consider as the texture can affect a baby’s tender and sensitive skin. The best fabrics for any baby crib bedding sets should be made of natural fabrics like cotton, bamboo or flannel, (any hypoallergenic sheets material). Fabrics with satin or silk finishes may look nice but they aren’t the best fabrics to put into a baby’s nursery. Organic crib bedding a great choice if you’re concerned about the environment. In addition, when purchasing a mattress for the crib, make sure that it is stain resistant and waterproof. It should fit snugly into the crib as well.

Practicality and Style

Generally, if you purchase two crib bedding sets, you can use one bedding set while the other one is in the wash. When you begin decorating your child’s nursery, you will find that by selecting the crib bedding set first, you are setting the theme. You can choose from a variety of styles, prints and colors. Neutral colors normally are available in yellow, green, white or black. Popular bedding prints include ocean life, insects and animals. Floral patterns, gingham and quilted patchwork can also be purchased, as well as famous and well loved characters like Winnie the Pooh.

Safeguards

No matter what you choose in a bedding set, keep focused on the issue of safety. Remove unnecessary pillows, blankets and toys when you put your infant to bed so he or she can sleep comfortably as well as safely.

Safety also includes how the sheet fits on the crib. Make sure then that the sheet fits snugly and that the material doesn’t gather, especially if your baby routinely has trouble falling asleep and is active in their crib. If you’re purchasing a quilt or fitted sheets make sure that they are well made even if the price tag is a little higher. You don’t want to sacrifice value for a lower cost. This is also important to keep in mind if you want to keep the bedding for use with a future child.

Your baby is one of the most important people you’ll ever know. Give him or her the very best in comfort and security. There are many crib bedding sets on the Internet to help you do just that.
