Tips for choosing bedding for girls

If you choose bedding for a young lady, then you should be guided first of all by its color. No, of course, the basic rules of choice - quality, hypoallergenicity, pleasantness to the touch - have not been canceled, but girls (both small and adults) first of all look at how this linen looks. Therefore, your task as a parent is to choose a store with high-quality underwear in advance, and then bring your child there and give him a choice.

When choosing a kit, first of all, you should focus on the fabric. Of course, it must be natural, since allergens in the body begin to accumulate from childhood, why give them an extra chance. Several natural fabrics are often used.

Calico bedding is the toughest of all, so if the child has normal skin, then you can safely take this option. The linen has a light massage effect and stimulates the baby's blood circulation well. But remember that coarse calico is different and the comparison of domestic and imported fabric, unfortunately, is not in favor of the former. Russian coarse calico loses to imported, primarily in prints and tactile sensations. Foreign manufacturers make children's prints on fabric (from ordinary bears to recognizable cartoon characters for girls), and of very good quality. They also produce companion fabrics, so children's sets always look stylish. Domestic calico has mainly floral or geometric prints and quickly loses its appearance.

Children's kits made of this material are very practical, domestic manufacturers produce a lot of colors. Poplin breathes, does not accumulate allergens, lasts a long time and is softer than coarse calico. However, poplin always shrinks well after washing, so if you find a beautiful single piece, then first of all look at the sizes. They should be at least 5 cm larger than you need. If a manufacturer sews laundry without a shrinkage margin, this is a bad manufacturer, after washing the laundry will have to be thrown away. Of course, you can stretch a shrunken pillowcase over the pillow, but this will harden the pillow and cause discomfort in the neck.

This is an elite underwear for a baby cot. It differs greatly in price from the other two fabrics (for comparison, a meter of poplin and coarse calico costs from 220 to 300 rubles, a meter of satin will cost from 450 rubles and more). However, if you do not stand behind the price, then according to the rest of the characteristics, satin wins. It has a shine that does not fade over time, due to the special kind of weaving of the fabric. It is smooth and very pleasant to the skin. Satin linen is cool in summer and comfortable in winter. At the same time, the fabric does not slip, stretches well over the mattress and is easy to iron.

Girls under the age of 3 do not care what is laid in their crib. The main thing is that the fabrics are calm colors. Bright and rich colors make the child nervous and restless. Starting at the age of three, the young lady identifies herself in the world and begins to realize what she likes and what does not. Therefore, when choosing a bed with your daughter, you need to be prepared for the fact that she will opt for prints with bears, birds, dogs and other funny animals. In cases where a girl is familiar with cartoons, she can choose a model with a cartoon character, but at the same time it is not so important for her whether Peppa's pig or characters from Paw Patrol will be on the duvet cover.They will work equally well as both are recognizable.

From the age of 5, the child already has stable favorite cartoons and characters. If you are sure that your daughter's favorite character is the kitty Caramel, then feel free to buy a set with the cartoon "Three Cats", she will be glad to anyone. From the age of 10, children choose their own underwear. Even if you are sure that your daughter loves Monster High, it is better to let her choose the print herself.

Teenagers are the hardest category. From the age of 13, you shouldn't interfere with the choice of bed linen at all. Any of your advice will lead to the fact that the daughter can choose the exact opposite. And that's okay. If you insist on your own, there is a risk of buying something that the teenager does not like (if only not what you advised), and then receive a categorical refusal to go to such a sleeping place. And yes, never criticize your daughter's choice, her taste.
