So you’re shopping for kids bedding. Fun! Well, it seems fun, until you realize you’re probably faced with two groups of products: prints of garish, neon cartoon characters that make you feel weirdly uneasy when you make eye contact with them; and boring, plain bedding that’s more suitable in a hospital than a toddler’s room. Finding bedding that’s soft, comfortable, gorgeous, affordable and fun for kids (but that doesn’t beat you over the head with Sesame Street characters) is hard — harder still when your kids’ personalities are ever-changing and they suddenly decide they’re no longer obsessed with unicorn stuff and what were you thinking, Mom??
But before you decide to buy six sets of solid-gray bedding and call it a day, we’ve rounded up some of this year’s top kids bedding that checks all the boxes — and is truly gorgeous. Your kids might even be excited about bedtime now. Gasp!
From its adorable brand name (kids ARE just little human rookies learning the ropes, aren’t they?) to its one-of-a-kind artist-designed bedding, Rookie Humans hits all the marks to make for a well-rounded whimsical bedroom/play-space for your kiddos to rest, imagine, and dream.
