We’ve researched online retailers that offer kids’ styles, giving you cozy and colorful options to help babies, kids, and teens cuddle up in the room of their dreams. Based on selection, price range, and return policy, we gathered our favorite picks, including sustainable options from Primary, whimsical prints from The Company Store, and beautiful bundles from Brooklinen. Read on for the best places to buy kids’ bedding both you and your kids will love. Aside from the whimsical patterns, the Company Store promises cotton construction that remains crisp and comfortable even after washing. Many patterns include embroidered details that won’t fade over time, leading to long-lasting bedding that fits easily with any nursery or kids’ room decor. In addition to duvets, linens, comforters, and quilts, the Company Store also offers fun hooded blankets and sleeping bags that makes great gifts for animal lovers or future campers. The retailer offers elegant selections of linens and bedding sets that won’t go against a curated aesthetic. We also love the large selection of personalized pillows and shams that add a custom touch to any bedspread. Additionally, these products are Oeko-Tex certified, which promises that your kids’ bedding is free of harmful chemicals and toxins. The two moms who founded this brand wanted to make sure kids could feel comfortable being themselves without fabrics telling others who they are. Their mission also extends to sustainable practices—for instance, avoiding seasonal trends that could end up in landfills by next season, and using sustainable materials, packaging, and manufacturing partners. While you won’t find any character-themed bedding, Crate & Kids appeals directly to parents with cohesive colorways that put artistry first. We especially love their organic printed cotton quilts that come in neutral tones that make it easy to style a coordinating nursery or bedroom. They also have a wide variety of decorative pillows that make an adorable addition to any room. If you prefer in-person shopping, Bed Bath & Beyond has the best of both worlds, often with bedding displays that make it easy to envision how a comforter or duvet will look like in action. The retailer provides a healthy mix of trendy pieces and classic, neutral options. Opt for West Elm when looking for interesting textures to add to your space, from velvet sheets, puffy comforters, stitched quilts, pintuck duvets, and more. For easy shopping, West Elm Kids also offers a “build your own set” option in which you choose one duvet cover, two shams, one flat sheet, one fitted sheet and two pillowcases in the size and color you choose. This gives customers the freedom to build a cohesive set or mix and match different colors for a unique decor choice. Perfect for babies and toddlers, Brooklinen’s bundles and bed sets make it easy to shop for everything you need all in one place. The selection, though limited, makes the online shopping experience quick and easy, making this a great pick for new moms or those looking for a baby shower gift. Modern Nursery also offers products include bassinet sheet sets, nursing pillows, water-repellent crib covers, changing pads, and other essentials you won’t find at other retailers. The easy-to-use filters set this site apart, allowing parents to search by brand, color, size, and even certification, for eco-friendly, sustainable, and OEKO-TEX certified picks. Garnet Hill organizes their picks in different shops, some featuring all linen or cotton, and others only showing OEKO-TEX certified products or monogrammed options. However, they are known for their flannel bedding that thousands of happy customers claim are cozy and soft for the wintertime, dubbing them worth the splurge. In-person shoppers will appreciate Macy’s easy browsing, beautiful displays, and frequent steals. Those shopping online will be happy to see filter for popular brands, as well as beloved designs including unicorns, space, mermaids, and dinosaurs. Target’s in-house brand Pillowfort is one of our favorite collections for bedding—it is the perfect blend of childhood whimsy and works-for-the-whole-house style. With in-person, pick-up, and shipping options, Target makes it easy to find the right bedding for you and your child, as well as the perfect way to shop for your lifestyle. Consider who you are buying for to find the perfect online shop that will have age-appropriate bedding and styles—whether it be babies, teens, or anyone in between. Many of the retailers on this list include all of the above, while others are more suited for one age group. With everything needed to make a bed, from sheets, pillowcases, duvets, and comforters, look for sites that offer bundles to simplify this process. Some sites sell additional accessories like throw pillows, bed skirts, fun blankets, and even sleeping bags. A one-stop shop may be the most convenient option, but other options often include artistic touches or customization that add a bit of interest to a room.
Designs
For newborns, parents can choose understated designs that match their nursery, but once kids begin to speak and develop interests, they may demand more of a say in their bedding decor. If you’re trying to appeal to a younger crowd, big box stores like Target and Macy’s will offer licensed products from Disney, Marvel, Paw Patrol, and more that feature popular characters.
Material
When buying beddings, especially for kids, parents should look for material without harmful chemicals or toxins. Luckily, many retailers offer explicit details about the makeup of their bedding. You can choose from cotton, flannel, linen, cashmere, and more. Look for picks that are OEKO-TEK certified, which ensure all the materials are safe and clean. Some retailers even allow you to only look at products that match this certification. Others offer sustainable and eco-friendly options, so after looking at safe products for your kids, consider how important other factors like sustainability impact your shopping process. Material also affects the care process. For easy care, look for machine-washable options. This is especially important for kids who are prone to accidents and spills. Even when opting for more luxurious materials, it can’t hurt to take a peek at the care details to see what’s in store on wash day. Pro tip: cotton is notoriously easier to care for than cashmere.
Return Policy
Even after browsing hundreds of options and taking care to choose the right one, sometimes things just don’t work out the way we planned. That’s why reviewing a retailer’s return policy is always a good idea. Luckily, many options on this list make returning easy within a specific period in case something arrives incorrectly or your child doesn’t like your pick. At some places, you can even return your products in-person. Be aware that items bought on sale won’t always guarantee a refund.
