Is Zipper Bedding Worth It?

We’re sure by now you’ve caught a whiff of the zipper bedding craze! People are totally obsessed with this fresh take on bedding.

But is it worth it? Is it really as good as people make it out to be?

To put it simply, we think zipper bedding is totally worth it!

That’s what we’re going to dive into in this blog. We’ll cover what zipper bedding is and what sets it apart. We’ll also talk about what some of the key benefits are, and answer some questions to help you decide if it’s worth the expense.

What is Zipper Bedding?

Zipper bedding is two-piece bedding that features zippers that connect the two pieces. The zippers connect the bottom fitted sheet to top sheet and sewn-in comforter so it’s all one piece. The zippers start at the foot of the bedding and zip up each side.

Zipper Bedding vs. Traditional Bedding

The main difference between zipper bedding and traditional bedding is the all-in-one bedding experience that the zippers provide. While traditional bedding typically calls for a fitted sheet, top sheet, comforter, and maybe an extra blanket, zipper bedding gives you all of those pieces in one easy-to-use set.

One of the good things about traditional bedding is that the set up is familiar. You know the drill – put on the fitted sheet, tuck in the top sheet, layer on the comforter, and then maybe top it off with a throw blanket for fun.

There are also seemingly endless styling options with traditional bedding. You can walk into any store anywhere and find a set of sheets and a whole wall of comforters to choose from.

4 Key Benefits of Zipper Bedding

In terms of zipper bedding, there are some serious perks that it provides. Here are a few of our fave benefits:

  1. Easy Bed Making: a tidy, well-made bed is just a zip away. Whether you’re trying to teach your child the responsibility of maintaining their room and making their bed or you’re trying to make busy mornings easier for your own bed making, zipper bedding takes the gold in time saving bedding solutions.
  2. Perfect for Tight Spaces: Because there’s no tucking involved, zipper bedding is super ideal for tight spaces, like bunk beds, RVs, corner beds, and murphy beds. All you have to do is line up the top and zip. No more trying to fit a big, bulky comforter in small spaces.
  3. Kid-Friendly: Bedding that zips up is seriously easy to use and kids love it. You could even turn it into a game! Each of you take a side of the bed and see who can zip it the fastest, the slowest, the silliest, you get the idea. It’s a totally kid-friendly bedding set!
  4. Time-Saving: Find a faster way to make the bed. We dare you. We’ve yet to find something faster than zipper bedding! It makes this necessary daily task so simple. And while we’re only talking about minutes that are saved, the benefits of making the bed and having a tidy, well-kept space are priceless.

Who Should Consider Zipper Bedding?

Now here’s the thing, we think that EVERYONE needs zip up bedding! But if we had to narrow it down, here are the people that should especially consider adding zipper bedding to their beds!

Parents

With everything that you have on your plate, you deserve some easy solutions to help simplify things. Your kids, whether they’re entering preschool or heading out to high school, will be able to quickly make their bed every day. No more constant reminders or having to do it yourself!

College Students

If I say “Picture a dorm room,” we can pretty much guarantee that that mental picture includes an elevated bed with storage underneath it. Zip up bedding is an awesome solution for these set-ups! You don’t have to deal with comforters hanging too low, and with the limited space you’re operating out of in a dorm, you want to keep things as tidy as possible. This zipper dorm room bedding makes things a million times easier.

Bunk Bed Owners

Have you ever watched your child try to make a bunk bed? Have you found yourself trying to make a bunk bed? So you know it’s practically impossible. Bedding that zips up is beyond perfect for bunk beds – in fact, it’s the reason it was invented! We wanted to find a way to simplify the process of making the bed in a bunk bed, and zipper bunk bed bedding was born.

RV Owners

RVs are notorious for having hard to reach beds, and if you’ve ever had the “pleasure” of putting bedding on one of these beds, you know how tricky it is. And even when you’re finished, the bed often looks rumpled and unkempt. Zip up bedding is perfect for RV beds; you put it on, it stays in place, and getting in bed at the end of a long day of adventures is just a zip away.

Murphy Bed Owners

How nice would it be to unfold your Murphy bed and have everything ready to go and looking amazing? Just throw a set of zipper bedding on it and you’re set. Instead of having to store the bedding for your Murphy bed somewhere else, you can keep it on the mattress even when it’s folded up.

Individuals with Limited Mobility

Bedding that zips up can be a great help for people with limited mobility because it eliminates the need to lift heavy blankets or maneuver around the bed to tuck in sheets. Instead of struggling with traditional bedding layers, simply zip the bedding closed and you’re good to go! Plus, it's easy to clean and maintain, so you can simply toss it in the washer and dryer when needed. Talk about peace of mind!

Zipper Bedding FAQs

If you’re still unsure about zipper bedding, we get it. It’s a big change! Here are a few frequently asked questions and their answers to help you out a touch.

Q: Why is the cost for zipper bedding higher than it is for traditional bedding?

A: The fact is zipper bedding as a whole costs more than average bedding. But when you factor in purchasing sheets, a comforter, and a cuddle blanket for extra warmth and coziness, it all starts to add up and even out. With zipper bedding, you have your base sheet and comforter all in one piece, with the comfy lining of the comforter serving as a cuddle blanket!

Another big part of the cost of zipper bedding is that we prioritize high-quality materials. From the soft, cozy fabric to the ultra smooth zipper, we think you deserve the best. 

Beyond that, it’s good to consider: how much is my peace of mind worth? Think about making the bed in the RV and your child making the bunk bed. How much is that worth? Does it make the cost of the zipper bedding worth it?

Q: Is zipper bedding only for kids?

A: No, zipper bedding is not only for kids! Anyone can have zipper bedding on their bed. Here at Beddy’s, we have zipper bedding available in sizes that range fro toddler bed up to a King size bed.

Q: Will the zipper be bothering me while I’m trying to sleep?

A: No one should have to worry about a zipper bumping them in the night. Beddy’s zipper bedding all have patented comfort panels, which are pieces of fabric that extend down from the edges of the comforter. When it is unzipped, you have these comfort panels to provide a little extra coverage and to make sure that you’re not coming in contact with the zipper.

Q: Is it comfortable? I’m afraid it will feel like sleeping in a sleeping bag.

A: Zipper bedding is super comfortable! There is no right or wrong way to sleep in zipper bedding. You could zip yourself in nice and snug, you could keep the sides unzipped so it lays like a regular comforter, or you could even unzip the top completely and wrap yourself up burrito style. Try doing that in a sleeping bag. It’s totally up to you!
