AeroBed for Kids Reviews

I really love AeroBed for Kids. I bought 2 of these for my twins when they were 3 and we needed them for a vacation rental (where my family got the room with 1 king bed.)

My kids love AeroBed for Kids and they still use them (they are 9 years old now.) Easy to inflate, deflate, roll into bag. We usually travel with only one pump (since it is heavier) and we roll the bed, included cover, a fleece kids blanket and a travel pillow right in the included duffle.

The incluced cover very nice and stays put, but it looks more like a matress pad and is white(!), plus its a little hot on your skin and slightly scratchy since it is quilted.

I looked for regular cotton sheets that would fit over the pad, but didn’t see anything. It seems regular fitted sheets are too long. I may sew a casing on a regular flat twin sheet and put elastic all the way around. Maybe attach another flat sheet to the bottom of this (so the top sheet would always be attached to the bottom one?) I am lazy, though and haven’t done it yet! I would welcome any comments from someone who may have done this already with tips (e.g., do I need to sew corners? Would it be easier to simply shorten a regular fitted sheet with a seam near the feet? etc.)

The AeroBed for Kids itself has held up extremely well, no problems (even with active kids who aren’t exactly gentle with it.) Great for sleepovers with friends, too.

Edit: I did buy a regular twin set of sheets and just added shorter corner seams on one end. Perfect. I also sewed 2 seams (to make a corner) on the flat sheet so that my kids don’t pull on it exposing their feet. I also did the same to a fleece blanket (that I got here on amazon) so the top sheet and blanket stay well on the bed (no endless tucking!) It all fits right in the duffle.

 

A Look A Duvet Cover Sets

Posted by outside_voices on Wednesday, 4 November, 2009

When it comes to buying duvet covers we all know that it is cheaper buying it as a set than buying the items individually. This also ensures that the items that you buy will match each other. A normal set of duvet covers will also have matching pillow cases as well. Some even have a fitted sheet included in the package as well.

Amongst some the topics that will be discussed in this article are: cheap duvet cover set, twin duvet cover sets, queen duvet cover pattern

There are a few reasons why buying a set works out to be cheaper. If you consider the price of a single cover and then consider the price of the set you will see that it makes sense to go for the set as there is little difference in price between the two.

Besides instead of having to shop around for pillow cases that match the cover that you’ve bought the whole task is made simpler for you when you get everything in one pack. The duvet covers will differ when it comes to things like material, finish and design. You can choose between plain colors, to uniformed patterns and designs. You also have covers with elaborate designs that have embroidery in the style.

Choosing a particular pattern or style should not be a problem. Just think of all the things in your bedroom that you can match your covers with. It could be the furniture, the wall paint, the carpet or anything that you are drawn to and you feel will give your room that look that you want.

When buying duvet covers choose a material that is strong and durable so that your covers remain usable for a long time. Some material does not react very well when it is washed in a washing machine. Do yourself a favor and choose your set wisely.
