Boys' Sheet Sets

You've been putting it off and putting it off, but you need new sheets and have finally decided to pull the trigger. It's common to get paralyzed by the endless options, but it's worth investing a little time for research. The bright side is, once you find what works for you, you can start shopping with confidence. This will help when you're out and about and find a sheet set you love, because it's always a good idea to have an extra set or two. Here are some pointers to help you narrow down your search and get you the perfect set of sheets - for you and your bed.

Size

Eliminate the guesswork and know the exact size of your mattresses. Do you have a twin, full, queen or king size bed? A twin and a full are not created equal, and the last thing you want is you bedding to look sloppy.

Bedding

Does your bedding or his room need another pop of color? Have fun with the sheet and choose a cool design or style, like a chevron stripe or cartoon characters. You can also match sheets with a throw pillow or two, making them the source of inspiration for all kinds of accessories for your bedroom decor.

Weather

If you're experiencing cold winters, is nice to have a set of quality flannel sheets, in addition to standard linens. Flannel will keep you warm at night, and they're easy to launder. Also, consider having flannel blankets for extra warmth. The right colors can turn them into great accessories.

Quality

Look for quality brands that launder well. Check the label and go for wrinkle-resistant if you can, that will keep the top sheet looking beautiful and smooth. Give yourself something soft wrap around yourself when you're heading to bed. If you have a duvet, you only need a fitted sheet. If you have a standard bedding set, look for a 4-piece sheet package with a fitted sheet, a top sheet, and pillow cases.

Color

If you're trying to match things perfectly, make sure you launder the top sheet and fitted sheet together to keep things from fading at different rates. If you're looking at new bedding sets, consider the accent colors you'd like to enhance and use your bed sheets to bring out the richness in something subtle.

Touch

Make sure you like the fabric of the sheets. Sometimes a trendy pattern can provide the look you want, but the sheets are uncomfortable and not of sound quality, or the material makes it too hot or cold for comfort. Choose something that will not only look good but will also feel good.
