Bedding Suggestions
DS turned 2 on 11/25. I am trying to settle on a theme for his room because he is graduating to a big boy bed this weekend (full size bed). Although he is a big Sesame Street fan, I ordered the Thomas The Tank Engine set because it was on sale at the time ( 2 days ago). I just got a price adjustment on Sesame Street for the same price( just went on sale today). Anyway, both are now the same price. Right now he is a bigger fan of Sesame Street than Thomas.
Which set do you like better:(I think the Sesame is a little too busy)

if I do a solid color comforter it would show every stain. I hear you on their taste changing, I was not brought up on themes either but neutral sets started at $249.00 just for the comforter and pillow shams. Once I settle on a set I will only be paying for 3 sets of full size sheets, a comforter with matching pillow shams ($178.00) sale ends tomorrow at Macy's. Should I actually get three sets of sheets or two? I know once he starts potty training I def. need more than one!

Re: Bedding Suggestions
What about something like this set?http://www.overstock.com/Bedding-Bath/Tommy-Hilfiger-All-American-Classic-Navy-3-piece-Comforter-Set/6143921/product.html?rcmndsrc=2#custreviews You can get fun sheet sets from Target, but this would grow with him. FWIW, I got DS his quilt from the Land of Nod - Department of Motor vehicles. I got stripe, star and blue sheets for him. I got the bedding set when he was two and I hope that it will last for a few more years.

I am a fan of a neutural comforter and character sheet sets. DS is 9 and we have been through sprots teddys, speed racer, and spiderman. Now Im getting "characters are not for 8 year olds". His basic navy comforter is holding up well.

Re: Bedding Suggestions
Thing is I am only paying $76.00 for the comforter and shams and $34.00 for the sheets. Your set is almost double the price and I will expect a lot more mileage out of it ... I doubt that stuff like sheets and a comforter where they jump up and down will last that long ... it is nice ... maybe when he turns 6.

Re: Bedding Suggestions
Please don't take it the wrong way but my question was not "do I go with these or neutral bedding?" I was asking which pattern seems more aesthetically pleasing to the eye?

Re: Bedding Suggestions
I like the SS one better. I would buy the sheets that match the set. (or they come with it, IDK) Then I would buy cheap solid color sheets, a red set, and blue.... Whatever you think will match the set.

Ditto. How long will a child be into SS and Thomas for? Maybe 5 years old max? I wouldn't worry about it holding up, because your child will probably lose interest in it before it wears out.

Re: Bedding Suggestions
How much cheaper could you get for something that will stand up to several washes? These are only $34.00 for a full size set.

Re: Bedding Suggestions
I buy the jersey sheets from Target. They are $15-$20 per set. They wash fine and I don't feel bad if I have to throw them away. I have 3-4 extra sets.
Like everyone else said, the kids get over theme bedding quickly. We have already been through Sesame Street. Now we change between dinosaurs and spiderman.

Thomas. He will grow with it a little longer.
The sesame street one looks a lot too "babyish" for a 2 year old. It's more of an infant - 12 month bedding.

Re: Bedding Suggestions
If I had to pick one of the two I would get the thomas, but frankly, I would get a generic train or car set. I know Target has a cute set by Circo for about the same price as the ones available at Macy's. I only knew one person IRL who had that Thomas set and it did not hold up to repeated washing. I know for my own son, while potty training I washed his quilt a couple of times. I too got a theme style set. I did a transportation theme. It is well made and I can see it lasting a few more years. DS is 4. Eventually I want to get him a full size bed so I was ok getting a twin size child set.
