staceyobu Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'm thinking I need something that isn't very puffy for the top bunk. Any ideas? I'm looking for girly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I'm thinking I need something that isn't very puffy for the top bunk. Any ideas? I'm looking for girly. We have quilts, thinner than a comforter but quite warm. ETA: both are cotton filled, one from PBK and one from Land of Nod (gifts). They have held up very well- they are 5-7 years old and both look all but new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janie Grace Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Cotton-filled quilts like the ones they sell at Pottery Barn. I'm sure you can find them cheaper, I just got a great deal on matching ones for my boys' bunk beds. They have held up SO WELL and the fact that the filling is cotton (not polyester or down) makes them lie flat nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 We actually took a regular comforter to a sewing shop, had it cut in half and re-sewn as two comforters. Perfect fit for our IKEA bunkbeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb in NZ Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 We use duvets & covers with a fitted bottom sheet (no top sheet) This is the easiest style of bedding for bunks we've found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
besroma Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 We use lightweight, washable down comforters. They are easy for the kids to tuck in, and to "throw" across the other side when a little one is making the top bunk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in Neverland Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 When we had bunk beds I bought cute matching twin size quits from Target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Fitted comforters. They aren't as long on the sides and one end is fitted like bottom sheets. I think we got them at JC Pennies years ago. Or we just fold a regulate twin comforter long ways and it just lays on the top rather than be tucked in. If the sheets match, no one ever notices.

myfunnybunch Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 We also have cotton quilts. A decent quality quilt should last for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

violamama Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 LIke Mrs. Mungo we bought a queen sized thing we liked and cut it in half, then hemmed the sides to make two from one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 If you want more blanket weight, that is girly - how about matelasse? you can get duvet covers or coverlet plus shams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 We just use comforters - they work fine on the top. We have captain's beds these days, but used to have bunks. ETA: we use comforters with covers and no top sheet. So it's just a fitted bottom sheet and a comforter with cover - very easy.

Pamela H in Texas Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 After another thread, we stopped using top sheets (well, sometimes, at least; old habits and all that jazz). We'll probably go back to top sheets (with blankets being decoration only, not used at night) in May. My mom made fleece blankets for my three (and most of our other foster kids though we made the last three). This seems to work for us fine. Of course, we're in Texas so don't need much warmth out of our bedding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnificent_baby Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Where can I get a cute girly one? Target usually has a few at any given time with matching accessories. Dd has had hers for a few years now and it still looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Where can I get a cute girly one? Years ago I got a darling one with butterfies from JC Penney, but I just looked and they don't have anything similar (online). Bed Bath & Beyond has some cute ones: http://www.bedbathan....asp?SKU=207339 http://www.bedbathan....asp?SKU=132266 They have a lot to choose from and in other colors, too, in case the pinks aren't your thing.

Amy in NH Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 bunk caps I think we got our reversible ones at JC Penney. I don't know if they sell them any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lea_lpz Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 We have quilts with a fleece blanket underneath. Not so bulky but still warm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
