Quilts, Pillows and Mattress Protectors

When deciding on bed linens for your child's room, it can be difficult to settle on a theme or design plan. Little ones often have a lot of wide-ranging passions, and their interests can change on a whim - one day it's all dinosaurs all the time, and the next, they can talk about nothing but undersea creatures. Opting for quilts and quilt covers instead of comforters gives you more flexibility and allows you to mix things up from month to month. When browsing Pottery Barn Kids' quilts, you'll also want to check out their collection of other bed essentials like mattress protectors and pillow inserts.

The Details

Pottery Barn Kids' collection of quilts, mattress covers and pillow inserts allows you to create a comfy foundation for your little one's bed. These are the essential starting points to which you will add the sheets, pillowcases and quilt covers that bring in the colour and fun that any kid's room demands. First up is the actual base layer of the bed - the mattress protector. Whether you're shopping for a baby, a toddler or an older child, a mattress protector is a worthwhile investment. Accidents, as they say, happen, and it only makes sense to plan for them. Pottery Barn Kids offers cotton-top mattress protectors with waterproof laminate backings for cots, singles, doubles and king singles.

Once you've selected a mattress protector, you'll want to pick out pillows and a cosy quilt to keep your little one comfy and warm. The Pottery Barn Kids collection includes two styles of mid-weight quilts. The first is the Quallowarm™ Down Alternative Quilt, which is made with a hypoallergenic, synthetic alternative to down. The second option is the Natural Down Blend Quilt, which is filled with 70% white goose down and 30% Lyocell fibre. Both 230-thread count quilts are tailored with end-to-end box stitching that keeps the filling in place and prevents bunching, and both quilts have exteriors made of 100% cotton with a tight weave that provides softness, durability and breathability. When it comes to pillows, you again have the option of natural down or a luxurious down alternative. The natural down comes in one standard size, and the Luxury Loft down alternative pillow is available in ten sizes, including toddler, square and lumbar.

Complete the Look

Once you've laid the foundation for your child's bed, you can start to add colour and personality with sheets, quilt cover, bed skirt and throws. Whether or not you opt to include all of these elements, you'll find everything you need to design a bed that is comfy, fun and perfectly suited for your kiddo. Pottery Barn Kids' collection of bed linens includes sheets and quilt covers adorned with everything from sharks and safari animals to butterflies and ballerinas. You'll also find plenty of options bearing the images of your kiddo's favourite characters, including Mickey Mouse, Snoopy® and all the Disney princesses.
