Getting your child all set up with the right kids bedding is kind of a big deal. Whether they’re transitioning from a crib to a toddler bed or you’re getting them ready in a big kid bed, this is a huge step for your little one!

That's where zipper toddler bedding from Beddy's comes in. With Beddy's bed sets, you can outfit your kids with high-quality, easy-to-wash, easy-to-make beds they will love. We're here to walk you through everything you need to know about zipper kids bedding.

What is Zipper Bedding?

Zipper bedding is bedding that is all one piece, held together by two zippers that start at the foot of the bedding and zip up each side. Your fitted sheet, top sheet, and comforter are all included, with a super durable fitted sheet that ensures that the bedding won’t slip and slide after it’s been put on the bed.

When you use traditional bedding, you pull the pieces over the mattress individually, which can take a minute. Even if you take your time, the fitted sheet might still move around, leaving an awkward fit for your bedding. 

And that’s not even taking into account trying to teach a toddler or child to make the bed themselves. 

With this toddler bedding set, it's all done in one swift motion, with a sewn-in fitted sheet and a zipper-attached blanket and cotton cover. The high-quality, invisible zippers run the length of the bed on both sides, making it look like a fitted quilt that’s perfectly tucked on every side and in every corner.

This bedding style makes it easy for toddlers and kids to make their beds and keep a clean and tidy room.

It is important to note that our zipper bedding is not intended for children under the age of three. It’s recommended that children between three and five years old sleep with one side of their zipper bedding fully unzipped. Safety first, then sweet dreams!

Perfect For Bunk Beds

Have you ever tried to make a bunk bed using traditional bedding? There are few things more frustrating than trying to straighten out sheets and comforters while sitting on top of the bunk – and that’s as an adult! It can feel like an impossible task for a child or toddler to accomplish.

Zipper bunk bed bedding is the easy solution to this problem. All your child needs to do is straighten up the comforter and zip. It’s really that easy. This is also a great solution for beds in corners, which present a similar challenge. Bunk bed bedding makes it super simple to get that clean, orderly look with little effort.

Machine Washable

As a busy parent, supplying yourself with a low maintenance toddler bedding set is a must. No one wants to carry out a lengthy, complicated process for washing kids' bedding.

Beddy’s zipper bedding is completely machine washable. Just unzip the top portion and wash each piece individually in cold water with liquid detergent. Make sure to avoid pods here! Once it’s been washed, just throw it in the dryer and then you’ll be set.

Keeps Your Kids Snug Throughout The Night

Zipper bedding is like a big warm hug throughout the night! When your kids jump into bed and get ready to sleep, they can just pull the zipper down and slide right in. As your kids get older, they may want more room to move and stretch their legs. With Beddy's zipper bedding, they can move the zipper back as far as they wish for more room to move.
