I’m popping in today to share our daughter’s bedding. The reason is because it’s been life-changing over here. When we decided to go with a daybed it brought about the dreaded, “How do we make the bed?” question. They really are a challenge to make. Couple that with a 10-year-old who does not gravitate towards the tidy end and it’s a disaster in the making. So we solved the problem with a zipper. An easy to make bed is a win for everyone in the house!
WHY GO WITH A DAYBED?
So let me breakdown the daybed decision. It was a few factors. First and foremost her room is a lovely size but the windows and layout make it difficult to have a large bed and still maintain a good amount out floorspace. For dance parties, of course! She is 10 after all. Couple that with her desire to have friends over and use the bed more like a couch, the daybed was the obvious choice. But making a daybed and changing the sheets can be a logistical nightmare. So we went with Beddy’s. Have you heard of them? Genius. And how cute are the ruffles? Perfect for the neutral room she is hoping for.
EASY TO MAKE
The bedding is all one piece and this style is Chic White. Holla! No fitted and flat sheet and no blanket. Speaking my language. The entire piece fits around the mattress and serves as the fitted sheet plus soft, cozy blanket.
HOW IT WORKS
It zips on both sides. It doesn’t feel like a sleeping bag because they created longer side panels that wrap around the body. Plus it’s the softest material inside. It reminds me of those really soft baby blankets everyone has. In the morning, she literally zips up her bed and tosses the pillows back on. It’s a mommy’s dream because I am a bed maker and it secretly drives me nuts when the kids don’t make their beds. Just keeping it real.
We chose to go with lots of textures on her bed but keeping to the whites and creams. It’s slowly coming together. The toss pillows are HomeGoods finds.
I borrowed this table from our loft space and it might just have to stay here. I really like the way it ties in the mirror above her bed.
TEXTURE AND TULIPS
I promise to show you more once we actually do anything with the rest of the space. My husband is considering building her a window seat but we shall see. Our DIY days are few and far between with how much we are on the fields these days.
If you have little ones, daybeds or just any bed that you would love to see made in a snap, I highly recommend the Beddy’s. It has been life changing over here and just what we needed for this room.
I am over the moon because my daughter comes home from science camp today. Having her gone all week has been much harder than I thought. I am so ready to hug that sweet little girl. Happy Friday, all.
*Thank you to Beddy’s for partnering on this post with me.
Beautiful Courtney. Your daughter is a lucky little lady. That rug is gorgeous too! I just ordered the dash beddys set for my daughter bc I had a 20% coupon. Same bed-making problem in our house. This bedding is genius.
Very pretty room Courtney and a beautiful daybed! I love the ruffle detail on that bedding and how smart to just zip it right up and have the bed made! So perfect for kids. I’m with you on bed making. I cannot have an unmade bed in the house. I grew up that way. That rug is gorgeous! I bet R and all of her friends just adore her room. Thinking about you today as you anxiously await her return. xo
I LOVE it! Such a beautiful space. I’m wondering if you are a little nervous about keeping the white clean? I have a 12 year old who is rather neat, but accidents do happen. Again, it’s so pretty!
Can you perhaps explain more about the “beddy”. How do you WASH the sheets “if you will” and remove the Beddy for regular washing??? I try not to come on line and ask questions about “what color is your lipstick”, but this time, I HAD to post a question. I DO understand the part where your daughter makes it each morning, I don’t understand the regularly scheduled sheet washing we mom’s are usually in charge of “assisting with” or doing??? Thanks for more general information about the product. If that info is included (and I missed it), my apology!
NEVERMIND! I GET IT now… It just come on and off easily like the fitted/bottom sheet!
Thanks!!!
Yes!!! Sorry . . just seeing this. Feel free to ask questions any time. I should have explained better but you are exactly right. Comes off just like a fitted sheet and gets tossed in the wash! Have a great weekend!
How cool! This would’ve been so nice for my lofted bed in college. Looking forward to seeing more of the space, it’s off to a beautiful start!
This is amazing!!! Thank you for sharing this. My daughter has a daybed also and the bed making has been a challenging for her too. I am ordering this asap.
Hi Courtney, beautiful???? can u share that beautiful carpet source ? Thank you and have a great weekend
Thank you for sharing! We have bunk beds and they are such a pain to make and always look messy.
What a beautiful bedroom for a young girl ready for something a little more grown up! I was wondering where you found the mirror above her bed?
Thank you for the nice comment about her room. She is very excited. I think I picked that up at Hobby Lobby a few years ago. I know it’s been a while but they always seem to have a great collection of mirrors.
Thank you so much!! We redid our daughter’s bedroom last year for her 12th birthday and used a Ballard’s trundle daybed. Making it has been a challenge. I finally sort of gave up and would fold the white twin coverlet in half and lay it across the top of the mattress as opposed to having to tuck it all in. This looks like a great alternative. Thanks again!
Wanted to add that this is also very timely as we are putting a Murphy bed in our carriage house and it looks like this is perfect for that, as well as bunk beds. We have regular comforters in our basement bunk room, and those beds are a pain to make. Fortunately they are not used every day!!
I am you mothe in laws friend Karol. WE just got a day bed for granddaughter who is 13. Like this bedding though ours will be a print. No white in this house..shedding black dog and cat. Love the white though…in my next life white.
