Get Multiples!

In case it's hard to keep up with the laundry in your house, you should definitely have more than one set of sheets and pillowcases for your child's bed. But you may also want to have more than one comforter, as well, as kids' tastes change as quickly – if not faster – than they wear through things!

Having a different themed comforter or one for a different season – perhaps lighter-weight for summer or in a flannel cover for the winter – will give you and your child design flexibility, and may help you get more wear out of the bedding in the long-term. If you go this route, you'll want to look for kids bedding that is good value, so that the bedding changes remain as practical as they are intended to be.
