Summary: Buying bedding for kids growing up isn’t the easiest.
When it comes time to send your grown-up child to college, you may be devastated but it is certainly a move in the right direction for you and your child. As the parent, you may want to help any way possible to make this transition an easier one. One way to accomplish this goal is by knowing what to look for when it comes to college dorm bedding.
Consider the Mattress Size
One thing you will want to be aware of before you make the bedding purchase is the size of the mattress. This is necessary to ensure you buy sheets that will fit. These will usually come in four sizes which includes the twin, double, queen or king.
Consider the Gender
Is your college student male or female? This can make a difference when making the right sheet selection. Males may prefer bolder colors, but you may have more color options, such as pastels, when it comes to shopping for bedding collections.
If you choose a pink comforter and matching sheet set for your son, you may not like his reaction.
Consider the Theme
It is important to consider a theme before you purchase the bedding accessories for your college student. This will help the entire ensemble look better in the dorm room.
Vera Wang bedding, for example, has an almost vintage feel to it. That might clash if the rest of your son’s room is plastered in posters and memorabilia for his favorite professional sports team.
Regardless of your final bedding decisions, you are sure to be of a huge help to your college student who is getting an education for entering the real world one day.
