Investing in New Bedding for Your Kids? Follow These Guidelines

When buying new bedding for their children, many find themselves confronted with a lot of questions like, What thread count should you get? Do you need a mattress protector? Why do you need a mattress protector? Is a waterproof crib sheet necessary?

If this sounds all too familiar, take a step back and read some of the following guidelines first. You’ll have new sheets picked out before you know it.

A Key to Thread Counts

Not sure what route to take when it comes to thread counts? It can be confusing and hard to know whether or not spending extra money on higher thread counts is worth it. Threads are woven horizontally and vertically into the fabric, and the thread count is based on the number of these per one square inch of fabric.

If you want something that is durable and will not wear out quickly, anything from 200 thread counts to 800 thread counts is recommended. The lower the thread count, the lighter the sheet, so if you are not looking for something heavie

3 Baby Items that Parents Started Using

Let’s be honest. Babies have the sweet life. They get to sleep constantly. Party and stay up all night. They get full and constant attention whenever they demand it. Then on top of all that, they get great products too? The funny thing is, before you know it you might end up using some of the products yourself. That’s when you know you’ve spent too much time around your baby’s things. Here are 3 baby items that are so great parents and other adults use them too.

  1. Baby Food
    That’s right, there are people out there eating baby food. But let’s be honest, you were probably not that surprised. We’ve seen it on tv shows like “Friends” for years now. Some people make a big deal of it, and others enjoy baby food like it’s no big thing. Some enjoy the food as a little snack with a low calorie count, and some get nauseous just thinking about it. To each his own.
  2. Baby Wipes and Lotions
    Everyone wishes that their skin could be as smooth as a baby’s. Their soft doughy complexions are ironically the goals of many women (and some men) out there. This shows in how the products we use on baby skin are also things we all love to use on ourselves as adults and as parents. Baby wipes do wonders for removing makeup from our and clearing out some of our pores. In addition, lotions that we normally apply on babies also apply well on our own dryed out skin and protects us from uv rays too. We may not be as smooth as our children, but with these products’s help we are getting close.
  3. Waterproof Mattress Protector
    Lastly, kids can pee in their little beds for up to many years after they’ve left the baby phase. In fact, 15% if them wet the bed up to when they are 5 (and some keep going from there). If you don’t want to have to worry about these night time incidents, then it’s best to invest in waterproof sheets. You can start off with baby crib sheets and work up from there if need be. The weird thing though, these sheets are amazingly comfortable and easy to clean. Before you know it, you’ll be buying one for yourself just for the comfort factor, and that’s ok! So get under those waterproof mattress protector sheets, put your head over your pillowcases, and enjoy the sweet relief of comfort.

Parents spend a lot of time with their babies. While it’s true that kids grow up taking and mimicking personality traits they got from their role models (aka us), the parents do some copying too. So enjoy those baby food snack sessions, use those baby wipes to remove your makeup and pursue an ever clearer complexion, and have fun rolling around in your new waterproof mattress protector. There’s nothing wrong with enjoying quality products, so bask in them.
