The Best Duvet Covers for Kids: Fun Designs and Easy Care
With so many fun designs and comfortable fabrics to choose from, it’s no wonder we love a duvet cover as a primary bedding layer for kids. We’re here to help you find the best options for your kids’ rooms. In this guide, we’ll talk about what to look for when narrowing down your duvet cover options. You’ll also find our expert recommendations for the best kids’ duvet covers depending on your needs—from layers that transition easily from toddler to kid to teen, to easy-to-coordinate covers for a shared kids’ room.
What to Look for When Choosing a Kids' Duvet Cover
There are many factors to consider when choosing a duvet cover for any age. When selecting bedding for kids, you’ll also want to consider how easy the cover is to wash, what will be most comfortable, and how they’ll feel about the design as they grow. Consider these factors to find a versatile, durable duvet cover for your toddler, big kid, tween, or teen.
- Material: Easy to care for, durable materials—like cotton—stand up to active kids and all the associated messes. Breathable cotton is also your best bet for keeping children comfortable all year long. Plus, the natural fibers are soft and gentle against kids’ delicate skin.
- Style: Fun designs and vibrant colors capture kids’ personalities, imagination, interests, or preferences. From sports balls to sweet florals and colorful rainbows, our collection of exclusive prints includes designs to please any child.
- Safety: Safety is key when buying any bedding, but especially when choosing layers for little ones. You and your child can rest easy: All of our kids’ duvet covers are certified to STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®, which guarantees they are free from a list of more than 1,000 harmful chemicals.
- Duvet Cover Sets vs. Separates: Our kids’ duvet cover sets make it easy to decorate your child’s room. Each set includes the duvet cover and one or two coordinating shams (depending on the size) for a perfect match.
- Size: Duvet cover size should match the size of the insert and the bed. Our kids’ duvet cover sets are available to fit Twin/Twin XL, Double, and Queen beds, so you can find an option to suit.
Expert Picks: Our Favorite Duvet Covers for Kids
Now that you know what to look for, let’s turn to our recommendations for the best duvet covers for kids. Whether you’re looking for a durable option to stand up to high-energy little ones or want ideas for adding seasonal style to their spaces, we’ve got a duvet cover set that will please picky kids—and their parents, too.
Best to Grow With Kids: Solid-Color Jersey Knit Duvet Covers
Our jersey knit duvet cover collection includes a rainbow of solid colors kids can choose from. A solid-color duvet cover is bedding that grows with your child, and soft, stretchy jersey knit feels as comfortable to kids as their favorite t-shirt. Pair your chosen duvet cover with printed or solid sheets that reflect their evolving tastes or the season.
All-Around, All-Seasons Best: Cotton Percale Duvet Covers
Crisp, breathable cotton percale is cool to the touch but still warm enough for winter, especially when paired with the right insert and layered with cozy blankets or a quilt. Our cotton percale duvet covers for kids come in classic solid hues and a host of exclusive, imagination-inspiring prints we update every season. Or choose from our solid-color percale duvet covers in subtle, sophisticated shades—including blues, grays, whites, and creams—for a minimalist, understated aesthetic. Mix and match your cotton percale duvet cover with other coordinating layers to create a comfy bed your kids will love to lounge, cuddle, and sleep in.
Best for Shared Spaces: Printed Kids' Duvet Covers
Create a coordinated look in a shared kids’ room with duvet covers designed to mix and match. Choose pastel hues to create a calm, soothing environment for a good nights’ rest or select from our kid-friendly prints and patterns to bring their own unique style to the space. Whether you’re moving your little one in with their older sibling or decorating a bunk bed for twins, it’s easy to coordinate kids’ bedding from our collection—and our baby and toddler bedding features designs to suit, as well. For best results, keep the pattern and color scheme consistent across duvet covers, or opt for similar designs in different hues.
Best for Kid-Friendly Festive Flair: Flannel Duvet Covers
Add winter warmth and festive style over the holiday season with a flannel duvet cover featuring a charming print. Known for its soft, fuzzy surface, cozy flannel is a favorite fabric for winter bed sheets, but it can be a great option for a kids’ duvet cover, too. Classic plaids and imaginative prints add seasonal style to any child’s room; we also have solid-color flannel duvet covers to pair with printed holiday sheets. Slip on the new duvet cover when you’re ready to get in the spirit or add extra warmth, then replace it once the holidays have passed.
Create a comfortable spot for kids to sleep by filling your chosen duvet cover with an insert in a preferred weight; we recommend a lightweight or all-season insert for versatility. A waterproof protector between the insert and cover can block spills or stains. Then, layer in sheets and other bedding for a space that’s all their own.
