Boy's Bedding vent

steverstever member
in Parenting after 35

We've had these posts before about clothes, but I've come to think most thing's for boys are just an afterthought.

Example: I've been thinking about bedding for when we move M to a big boy bed. I settled on what I want and I really like it, but I think I really like it because it's so different from other boy's bedding.

I mean, girl's bedding could be bought when they're 2 but still be appropriate when they're 10 - not that it would last that long.

Boy's bedding is all sports themed or outdoor themed or has something to do with Star Wars. Well what if, in a few years, he hates baseball and camping and, God forbid, could care less about Star Wars? Where's the cute, non-themed stuff for boys?

    PBK has cute plaids that are nice for boys.

    But, yes, I know your pain. The same thing was true 19 years ago when I had Nate and it wasn't any better when I had Alex.

    *ETA* What did you pick out? PIP/linky please.

    I started looking and think I am going to do what I did with my own bedding, go with a solid color comforter/duvet cover and then go crazy with the sheets. Okay my sheets aren't crazy but YKWIM.

    I found some cool comforters that have an elastic at the bottom so they fit like a fitted sheet half way down.  Matt moves all over the crib now so I don't think he would like it until he gets bigger and cannot squirm around so much.

    We have Beatrix Potter right now because that is what Mommy likes.  We will change when Michael is old enough to have an option.  Wink

    Yeah, my Mikey's crib bedding is Winnie the Pooh, but when we move him to a big boy bed - which, admittedly, won't be for a while - I want something that is neutral enough to last for a while without looking like something for a grown up.

    Like I said I finally found one set I like, but it still makes me sad that little boys either have to be into sports or Disney characters. Or boats, boats seem to be big too.

    I hate monkeys and safari type stuff.   So that weeded out 90% of the stuff you find for boys.   

    C has a NauticaKids discontinued set that's maroon and tan with tugboats.  I can live with that, since it's a bit different than the usual boat motif.

    DH is a rocket scientist, so we might be going with a space theme when he's bigger.  Rockets, stars, planets, etc.

    We are all about the safari theme in our house, so that's what he has now.  If he hates it later on, I guess I'll let him pick something out (and pray I can stand it!)
