What to look for in baby boy bedding

As you begin looking for baby boys bedding, the big items that you'll want to pay attention to are quality, ease of cleaning, price and the design of the bedding.  Quality is an obvious thing because you'll want to keep the bedding for a while and since every baby has accidents in the crib, it's important that bedding is easy to clean.  Price is an issue for most parents and also the design of the bedding is something that you'll have to choose based on your baby's nursery theme. 

You'll only want to buy crib bedding for your baby boy once, so it's a good idea to purchase higher quality bedding in the beginning.  Your baby will sleep on his
bedding each night for many months, so it needs to be of good quality.  Baby boy bedding that is of high quality is stitched together well, has non-fade colors, is soft and made from cotton or a cotton poly blend.  Another tip off to good quality is that designs are sewn or embroidered on the fabric instead of simply printed on.

Bedding that is high quality is less likely to become a danger to your baby boy.  Cheap stitching or weak fabric can rip and tear, making holes in the bedding that can endanger your child.  Whenever buying baby boy bedding, check that all stitches are sturdy and the fabric cannot be easily torn.

Your baby boy will spend a lot of time on his crib bedding.  So over time messes will be made - spitup, drool or other fluids can spill onto your baby boy's bedding.  Soiled bedding can breed bacteria so it must be cleaned immediately - bedding that is machine washable is an absolute must.  You will not have the time to handwash your son's bedding, so its best to get bedding that can be thrown in the washing machine whenever it gets dirty.

The design of baby boy crib bedding you choose is completely up to you and can be almost anything you can imagine.  You'll probably want a design that will go well with the rest of the nursery, so start from there for theming ideas.  As far as pricing goes, you can usually save money buy getting bedding online and checking out department store websites for internet sales. 

Different Designs for Baby Boy Nursery Bedding

You can find baby boy crib bedding in all sorts of different designs, colors and motifs.  The theme of the bedding for your baby boy's crib will carry over into the general theming of the nursery.  So before you go shopping,  consider the type of theme you would like for your baby boy's nursery.  Do you want to do animals or characters?  Maybe you'd like to use transportation as a theme with trucks or boats?  And do you want calming colors like blue or green pastels or would you like playful colors like bright red or navy blue? 

When you ask yourself these questions, it will help you to stay focused when shopping for bedding and it will help you make sure all of the boys crib bedding you buy matches and goes with the overall theme for the nursery.  When you're ready to hit the internet or hit the stores, you'll find that there's a large array of designs available for baby boy bedding.  

Some of the more popular designs include transportation vehicles like airplanes, boats, cars and trucks, sports like football or baseball, animals like turtles, fish, monkeys, elephants, farm animals or jungle creatures and characters like Winnie the Pooh, Snoopy or the Looney Tunes.  If you don't like any of these choices, you can also find baby boy nursery bedding with more ambiguous designs like stripes, gingham or polka dots.  Your baby will go to sleep and wake up next to the designs on the bedding, so pick something that will be good to greet your child every morning.

Where to buy boys bedding

It is easy to find baby boy bedding as it is available at a lot of different places.  First of course, you can always find low prices and a wide selection of baby boy nursery bedding online.  There are internet stores completely devoted to selling baby bedding as well as the websites for big stores like Pottery Barn Kids that have clearance items listed on their sites.

Some other places to find boys bedding are the usual suspects Walmart and Target.  You can also find high end bedding at Pottery Barn Kids or at some department stores like JC Penney, Sears and Macys.  Typically these stores will carry an entire crib bedding set complete with additional decoration items (like lamps or wall decals) that you can use in your baby boy's nursery.

Which baby boy crib bedding pieces do I really need?

Although you can easily buy a complete crib bedding set for your baby boy, if cost is an issue, you do not have to purchase every piece of bedding that's available.  A few well chosen bedding pieces is really all you need for your baby.

Most baby boy bedding sets come complete with a fitted crib sheet, a crib bumper, comforter and sometimes a crib dust ruffle.  Its nice to have all of these items to coordinate with, but if you're going for the bare minimum you can just stick with a fitted crib sheet and possibly a crib bumper.  If you want a comforter too, it can also double as a wall hanging. 

If you are good with only using a fitted crib sheet, then that's the least expensive way to go.  If you want a crib bumper and a comforter, it's often around the same price to get a complete bedding set with all of the pieces.
