The Best Comforters for Kids' Rooms
Creating a cozy, inviting bedroom for your child is essential for restful sleep, and a comfortable comforter they love is a key part of a kid’s bedding setup. When choosing a kids’ comforter, you want to focus on comfort, style, and durability. Here, we’ve rounded up our top picks for the best comforters for kids’ rooms so you can find the perfect top layer for your child’s comfy bed.
Printed Percale Comforters
Cotton percale is one of the most popular bedding materials for kids and adults alike, and for good reason: It’s crisp and cool to the touch, durable and low maintenance, and has a matte finish that looks lovely on the bed. Our kids’ bedding collection includes a wide range of cotton percale comforters featuring exclusive prints we update every season, so there’s always something new to suit your kid’s evolving tastes.
Why We Love Percale for Kids
Printed comforters provide the perfect opportunity for kids to showcase their favorite things—think rocket ships and space-inspired prints for the aspiring astronaut, fairies and unicorns for the child who loves make-believe, or charming forest scenes for explorers and adventurers-at-heart. Stripes, dots, checks, plaids, and florals are perfect for kids of any age—but especially for tweens and teens who are too “grown up” for the whimsically patterned comforters from our collection. Coordinate your kids’ comforter with solid-color sheets in a hue pulled from the pattern, or pair favorite prints with geometric designs—like stripes or checks—to create a vibrant, bold look.
Cotton Jersey Knit Comforters
With its durable construction, breathable nature, and t-shirt–soft feel, cotton jersey knit is the quintessential fabric for kids’ rooms and college dorms. Cotton jersey knit comforters are soft, comfortable, and cozy any time of year, and ours are machine washable, making them a low-maintenance bedding option.
Why We Love Cotton Jersey for Kids
Durable cotton jersey knit comforters are easy to wash, so they’re great in mess-prone areas like a kids’ room. Plus, they’re super soft and stretchy, perfect for snuggling up. Casual and comfortable, jersey knit comforters come in a veritable rainbow of solid colors, making it easy to mix and match with printed kids’ sheets for a pop of hidden fun beneath their top bedding layer. Keep your comforter the same but swap the sheet pattern to suit the season, flowers or animals for spring, beachy prints for summer, forest scenes for fall, and festive designs for the holidays.
Down Alternative Comforters
Our kids’ comforters feature lofty down alternative fill that mimics the feel of down or a high-quality synthetic polyfill that’s lower maintenance without sacrificing comfort. Even if you don’t want to shop exclusively from our kids’ collection, we still recommend hypoallergenic down alternative comforters over pricier, thicker down-filled options when shopping for a kid’s bed: Down alternative comforters are every bit as comfortable but less of an investment, so they’re better for little ones whose favorite things frequently change.
Once you’ve chosen the best comforter for your child, layer a comfy kids’ bed by adding in sheets, blankets, pillows, and other layers to create a snuggly sleeping space.
