Luxury Baby Bedding - What To Look For Before You Buy

When buying luxury baby bedding, perhaps first decide what
style and fabric you like best. When you decide what luxury
baby bedding you want, mix and match colors and patterns on
your babys bed. Different flower fabrics mix well with solid or
stripe materials, for example, but keep them all in the same
color family.



Be sure and consider which fiber is best for your baby bedding.
You should be able to find and choose from the following
materials when shopping for bedding:



. Cotton - percale, sateen, flannel or organdy. Cotton is a
natural fiber that breathes well, and it tends to be durable,
easy to machine wash and to dry.



. Linen - linen, damask or venise. Dry-clean this natural fiber
to avoid excessive shrinkage. It is a wonderful fabric to use
during the summer as it stays cool in warm weather.



. Silk - brocade, charmeuse, chiffon, organza, doupioni or silk
satin. This material gives a very luxurious look and feel to
your bedroom. Silk is a natural protein fiber that is very
smooth to the touch. When washing your silk bedding, be sure
and follow the instructions of the manufacturer's label.



. Wool - flannel, felt, jersey, tweed, merino or gabardine. It
is another natural fiber, durable and soft to the touch. This
type of bedding is usually very warm, and it should be
dry-cleaned unless the manufacturer's label says otherwise.



. Synthetic fiber - acetate, acrylic, nylon, polyester.



Thread count in luxury baby bedding is important. Thread count
is defined as the number of horizontal and vertical threads
that exist in one square inch of fabric. Thread count in sheets
can range from 80 to 700 - most are in the range of 180 to 320.
Higher thread count in luxury baby bedding does not mean that
the fabric will last longer. What it does mean is that you will
enjoy a better quality of fabric that also has a softer feel.



Blue and white bedding are classic colors that can be combined
with any decor. If you decide to select floral fabrics for
bedding, they can go with a traditional or contemporary room
decor. Rich and bold colors like blue, red, yellow or perhaps
black tend to be used in childrens rooms and teenagers rooms.
These are stimulating colors associated with energy, and they
will bring drama to any room. Pastels can be mixed with
different colors and patterns, and they will give you a
relaxing and beautiful room. These colors like pink, blues,
light yellow and lilacs are frequently used in luxury baby
bedding, nurseries and babys rooms.



Do not be surprised when buying luxury baby bedding that it has
a mild crisp feel to it. This crispiness is normal, because
manufacturers use starches or stiffening products on the
bedding to help it stay wrinkle-free and looking new. When you
purchase machine-washable luxury baby bedding or any other type
of bedding, be sure you wash it before using it. A great benefit
of washing quality luxury baby bedding is that it will become
softer and even more comfortable over time.



Make sure to read the bedding labels to be certain the baby
bedding materials are flame resistant. And if choosing a baby
bedding theme is important, look for nursery bedding
collections that come with coordinated accessories. You can
save considerably if you can find luxury baby bedding on
clearance, even though there will be few or no coordinated
accessories. You can use the savings from the baby bedding to
create your own baby nursery theme.



Enjoy the process. Later, the child will have their own
opinions, but have fun for now! Decorating the babys room can
give everyone the chance to add their touch to this special
room for this very special person.
