Bed In A Bag

If you're like most people, you probably use your bedding for years. When you find a style you like that also fits your bed and feels great against your skin, you don't want to spend money on a new set that may not feel as soft or have sheets that keep sliding off your bed. With a bed-in-a-bag set, you get the top bedding you need. All of the pieces match and can transform the entire look of your bedroom.

Bed-in-a-bag sets come in different sizes. A twin bed in a bag usually has just one pillowcase and a comforter. Some also include both a flat sheet and a fitted sheet. While the comforter may have a fun design, the sheets and pillowcases are usually solid colored. Don't assume that a twin set will fit in a college dorm room though. Many dorm rooms have twin beds that are the same width but slightly longer. When you need a set for your dorm room or a loved one's dorm, look for twin XL designs. They come in a variety of colors and patterns.

With both a king and queen bed in a bag, you have more options because brands offer different things in each set. Though you will get a comforter, the other items included in the bag will differ. An eight-piece set will usually come with a comforter and both sheets and matching pillowcases. You might get a pillow sham too. Unlike a pillowcase that has an open end, a pillow sham has a pocket in the back that wraps around your pillow. They're great for adding a decorative touch to your bed and for using a pillow that you may not need when you sleep.

Some sets come with even more pieces and help you decorate your entire bed. In addition to a comforter and sheets, you might get a bed skirt that matches the color or pattern. Designed to fit under your mattress, the skirt surrounds the bottom of your bed and helps keep clutter out of sight. Throw pillows are also helpful. Not only do they match the bed-in-a-bag set, but they make your bed more comfortable as you lay down or sit against the headboard. Sets that include a throw blanket are also available. That blanket is a great size for adding a little warmth on a cold night, but you'll also love curling up with it in other rooms.

Not all bed-in-a-bag sets come with a comforter. You might prefer one that uses a bedspread or a quilt inside. Quilts are often lighter and are great for hot summer nights while bedspreads are often long enough to cover the bottom of your mattress. Consider the material used in the set too. Are you a fan of cotton bedding or love microfiber bedding that feels as comfortable as your favorite sweatshirt? Get a set that uses that material for your bed.
