There are a lot of factors to consider when shopping
for a quilt for your child. It’s not just about appearance, fit and price;
factors such as durability, safety and weight are all considerations you should
take into account. Not sure what to look out for? We’re going to jump into each
of these factors in a little more detail in this article so keep reading.
Safety
Safety may not be the first thing that comes to mind
when shopping for bedding but hear us out. Ensuring the sheets and doona you
buy is safe for your child is crucial and you’ll understand why come the end of
this paragraph. Let’s talk about material choice and choking hazards. Does your
child suffer from an allergy? Do they dislike materials that make them feel
warm and itchy? If so, the materials you choose must be breathable and
hypoallergenic. What age is your child? If he/she is young and in danger of
choking, you must ensure that the bedding you buy has no embellishments or
loose threads.
Durability & Care
Kid’s bedding, in general, will be to be washed more
regularly than your own. This is where a washable wool quilt will deliver on all counts of
durability and easy maintenance. Choosing a high quality material like wool
also ensures the bedding lasts the test of time and withstands the high levels
of wear and tear that children are known for. Care instructions vary so be sure
to read the fine print in detail before you make your final decision. A washable
wool quilt that can go into the machine will save you a lot
of time and money down the road so think of the future and the accidents you’ll
inevitably have to clean up.
Weight
Weight matters when choosing bedding. Quilts that are
too heavy leave kids feeling smothered and restless. Bedding that’s
light-weight, in contrast, can leave them feeling cold and unable to get to
sleep. It’s all about balance when it comes to choosing the perfect bedding
that’s lightweight but provides enough warmth and comfort. Top tip; it’s a good
idea to invest in an all-season quilt that will adapt to the changing
temperatures and last right through the seasons.
So now you know what to look out for, are you ready to go shopping to find the perfect bedding that ticks all boxes in terms of style, fun, fit, weight, durability, and safety?
