Where to find cute boys' bedding?

post #1 of 14
Thread Starter 
I'm thinking of redecorating DS's room to be more of a "big boy" room and less of a nursery. Unfortunately, DH and I are having a hard time finding anything that DS and us would all like. We won't do any characters, and there just isn't much selection in non-character sets. We need something full sized, not twin, which seems to be adding an extra level of difficulty to the search. Links please!

Thank you.

Most of the links above offer bedding in full/double size. Most of the bedding is character free. Some of the stuff is pricey, but look for sales and a lot of pottery barn/land of nod stuff will show up on ebay. Or you could get a patterned blanket/duvet/quilt and get less expensive solid sheets to match.

We found a full size comforter and sheets at Target. It's cute..just roads and cars and trucks and trees. We don't do characters either!

I love this solar system bedding from Garnet Hill. http://www.garnethill.com/solar-syst...verlets/117627

(Sorry, can't get embedded links to work right now!)

We have some cute jungle-themed bedding for our boys from Pottery Barn kids.

Don't forget to check eBay or Craigslist--they often have new pieces from PB if you know what you're looking for.

Our boys theme is cars/trucks in primary colors. We found everything in thrift stores in a period of about 2 years. Well, my mom found most of it. She repainted a chest of drawers and put some wooden cars and trucks on the front. She found several sheets with a similar theme, and turned one into a blanket for my oldest. She found a double comforter and cut it down to twin size for two of the boys. I used some of the sheets to make curtains, and more to make a fleece-backed blanket. It all turned out very cute.

We found DS' bedroom set at Pottery Barn Kids. It was on clearance since it was a set they were not continuing. They tend to have some fairly cute, non-sports themed, non-character themed stuff there, but it can be expensive. Another thought is IKEA, but I am not sure if they have many of their cute kid stuff in full. DS' bed is a full sized bed too, DD is even harder though she has a queen and very few places make kids bedding for a queen bed.

I second (or third, or fourth) Target. That is where I got ds1's full sized bedding a few years ago and I still love it.

I like Ikea for cute bedding and accessories http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/60107734

Oh I saw some great stuff at Pottery Barn Kids too!

As an aside, I just wanted to say that when I was buying bedding for DS's "big" bed, my SIL advised me to just get a plain comforter and then get the theme pillow cases and shams. I am SO glad I followed her advice! With a plain blue, high-quality comforter, we were able, four years later, to swap out the construction-themed pillow cases and shams for Star Wars ones for less than $100, and it seems like a whole new room!

Plus, this way you can spend more on accessories!

Have fun shopping!

YES!

These are all the places I searched. I ended up with something by Freckles and I could not be happier with the quality.

I LOVE Olive Kids, and Kohl's actually has some really cute non-character bedding. I got my daughter a set from Kohl's about two years ago, & it has held up really really well on a 4-year-old's bed. Granted, she doesn't sleep in her bed much, though.

I found DS some cowboy stuff at target last year on clearance, I think they have something similiar again this year. He also has a 'surf board' set from Kohls, and something else I cant remember but again from target. Target kids does carry Full size both in store and online. I usually wash 1x a week, sometimes more, DS has asthma and frequent washes help him breath better, and the CIrco brand holds up well.
