Dorm Bedding at Just Boys Bedding

High School graduations will soon begin and seniors are looking toward Fall when they take that next important step in the school careers - College.  If your senior is going away to college and will be living in a dorm room, he will need the right size bedding for a dorm bed.  Typically, dorm beds are twin size but are longer than a standard twin bed and therefore require sheets and bed skirts in a longer length.  At Just Boys Bedding, we have put together a collection of bedding that is perfect for the new college freshman to take with him for his dorm bed to make him feel at home and comfortable.

Pictured above is a solid color bed in a bag that includes the sheet set, comforter, bed skirt and shams in a Twin XL length.  Twin XL is the size you will need to buy to fit a dorm room twin bed.  I particularly like this set as it is 200TC 100% cotton percale and is made in the USA by Mayfield Manufacturing.  It is available in several colors such as Red, Burgundy, Navy Blue, Royal Blue, Light Blue, Hunter Green, Black, Chocolate and Khaki.  The bed skirt to this bed in a bag set is available in either a tailored or ruffled look.  All of these colors are popular with teen guys and they will find this bedding easy to launder.

Perhaps, he already has a favorite comforter or quilt he would like to use but just needs the appropriate size sheets.  Consider these 300 TC Egyptian Cotton Sheets from Blancho Bedding that are available in many solid colors. Buy 2 sets to send with him, one to use and one to wash.  Cool and comfortable, good quality cotton sheets are a must have for that all important nights sleep after a long day of classes and fun.

Another "cool" idea in dorm bedding is the Caribbean Coolers bedding collection  that offers both the sheets and bed skirt in the Twin XL length.  This bedding is available in Indigo (shown), Rainforest, Sky Blue and Pomegranite Red.  The Comforter only comes in the traditional Twin length but is generously sized at 90" in length (normal is 86 inches) and will work nicely on a dorm bed.

It is not too early to begin thinking about what a young man will need and want to take with him as he begins this newest part of his life's journey.  Summer will be over before you know it and it will be time to make that trip to college with a packed car with all his gear.  Make sure he has great looking, comfortable dorm room bedding for his home away from home.  Visit Just Boys Bedding and let us help you meet all your boys' bedding needs.

Classic Boys Bedding for the Classic Boy's Interests

Boyhood is that wonderful time in a little boy's life when his fanciful imagination can run wild and his dreams are as big as all outdoors. It is a time when he can ride his bike like the wind, play ball in the park and hunt critters in the woods and come into the house with half the dirt outside on his clothes and think that life is great! And, it is!

Nurture and encourage that free spirit and give him a space of his own that reflects a young boy's personality using classically styled boys bedding. For example, is his dog his best friend that romps with him and follows him everywhere he goes? Consider this adorable bedding option called Doggy and Doggy. Not only does it feature a variety of dogs, it is wonderful shades of blue, a color so popular with boys.

Does that special boy in your house like sports? There is just a plethora of boys sports bedding available in the marketplace featuring everything from team sports to extreme sports. A true favorite, though, is the Classic Sports Quilt which features icons of baseball, football, basketball and soccer in a traditional patchwork quilt. This is a particularly versatile quilt not only because of the general sports theme but also for the combination of blues, browns and reds that make it easy to use in any color scheme you may be using without the need to repaint.

Perhaps, his imagination reaches far into the clouds and he has a fascination with all things flying. Make his bed the center of an aeronautical themed bedroom with bedding featuring airplanes. One of my favorite airplane bedding sets is Fly Away, an all cotton quilt featuring vintage airplanes on a white background. This quilt comes with matching shams and also has sheets and bed skirt for a complete decorator look. No matter how big a boy's dreams and plans may be, foster and encourage those hopes and aspirations. You may just see them all come true one day.

All of the above boys bedding sets can be seen and purchased at Just Boys Bedding, where we feature bedding for your little man.

Boys Sheet Sets at Just Boys Bedding

A great set of cotton sheets is a must have in boys bedding, well actually, everyone needs great sheets, but for overall comfort and durability in boys bedding it is worth a little bit of extra money to invest in sheets that are 100% cotton or mostly cotton. The more cotton, the softer touch to the sheets as well as more comfort.

An example of better quality sheets for kids are those that are made by Hillcrest in their Fine Linens line. Hillcrest sheets are 100% cotton and are 310TC, the higher the thread count, the softer the feel of the sheets. Although, I personally feel anything over 400TC is probably does not compensate in feel for the extra price you pay. The mid ranges of 200-300 TC are perfect for kids. Shown to the left is Pirate, sheet set by Hillcrest which features icons of crossed swords, tall ships, treasure chests and more on an all white background. The Hillcrest sheets for boys are available in several patterns, all on crisp white. The one shortcoming, if you will, to this line of sheets, is that they seem to be made only in twin size., or at least that is all I have found so far.

Another nice set of sheets for boys is from Martex Kids made by WestPoint Home. These sheets are in the Varsity pattern and are 250 TC. Martex Kids sheets are cotton rich with 60% cotton, 40% polyester. A nice feature to this cotton/polyester blend is the non-wrinkle effect when pulled from the dryer. All cotton sheets wrinkle in the dryer while sheets with polyester or percale sheets will wrinkle far less. The Varsity sheets are true boy sheets with shades of blue and sports icons from a boy's favorite sports.

At Just Boys Bedding, we feature cotton or mostly cotton sheets in solid colors as well in themes such as the sports, airplanes or pirates, and our sheet sets are coordinated to the bedding patterns that are offered for a boys bedroom. So, when purchasing a comforter or a quilt for a boys bed, don't forget to pick up those matching or coordinating sheets you see offered. He will be glad you did!

Just Boys Bedding is a specialty bedding shop and really is just for boys!

Make My Home Where the Animals Roam - Animal Theme Bedding for Boys

There is no denying the affection and attachment boys feel for their animals. Many times, a pet is their first opportunity to be responsible for another living creature. Perhaps, your boy just loves the outdoors and all the critters out there and wants to bring them in at night so they won't be cold, wet or hungry. Of course, we can't do that as he will learn, but you can bring an animal theme to his room with his bedding choice. At Just Boys Bedding, we have a category dedicated to animals and wildlife that may give you that animal bedding choice he likes.

Shown to the left is Doggy and Doggy Quilt Set from Pem America. Doggy and Doggy is a handcrafted quilt featuring a boy's best friend. Does he have a dog pictured here? Perfectly framed dogs in blues with red accent make this quilt very desirable in a boys bedroom. This is sold as a mini quilt set meaning it is the quilt and sham(s) in either Twin or Full/Queen. A bed skirt and accent pillow are also available to round out the decor.

Forest Friends by JoJo Designs is another cuddly critter bedding collection perfect for a younger boy in love with the great outdoors. All the little forest animals are here, fox, raccoon, owls, squirrels and deer, to enchant your little guy as he drifts off into dreamland at the end of a busy day.

Starry Nights at Just Boys Bedding

It seems those designers at Jo Jo Designs just keep coming up with the best ideas in kids bedding. New this week is Starry Nights, a bedding collection in blues and brown that is so perfect for little boys. I see this bedding as an ideal collection for boys, perhaps 8 or younger. It would be great decor for the little astronomer who likes to point to the stars in the night sky.

Starry Nights brings a boy feel to the room not only in the blue colors, but also with the designer coordinated blue and brown stripe in the bed skirt, sheet set and accents on the accessory pieces. The print comforter and, in fact, all the bedding is made of cotton and is completely machine washable.

What I like about all of the Jo Jo Designs bedding collections is the fact they are fully accessorized. You can start with the basic comforter set and add to the room decor as much or as little as you like. Each collection includes coordinating drapes, wall hangings, lamp shade, clothes hamper, wall borders, shower curtains and accent pillows. As each piece is sold separately, it is convenient for other family members, such as grandparents, to buy gifts to add to a boy's room decor.
