Bunk beds are very nice if you are looking for extra space in a room or if the children need to share a room. Kids love them and they come in a wide variety of styles. One drawback to bunk beds, however, is the issue of bedding. They’re hard to do and hard to keep looking good. The covers come off in the middle of the night and fall to the floor. Quilts cover and hang from the top bunk. That’s why you need a Hugger.
Huggers, sometimes called Bed Caps or Snugglers, are simply quilts designed for bunk beds. The lower end of the hugger is adjusted to better stay on the mattress. Since bunk beds don’t have that box spring to cover, there’s no need for bed skirts or “floor length” quilts. The only thing you need to cover is the mattress. So a fitted snuggler is perfect for that. It will give your bed the appearance that the comforter is tucked in around the mattress.
Bed caps make it easy to “make the bed.” Just pull the bed cap to the pillow, put on a cover and viola, clean and tidy bed. Even if the bed is turned upside down during the day, a fitted comforter will stay in place better to keep the bed tidy.
At night, when tossing and turning can sometimes bring regular bedding down a level to the floor, there will still be a snuggler on the top bunk. Going downstairs at night to retrieve your blankets can be risky if you’re half asleep and the room is dark.
Loose bedding hanging off the top bunk can cause a serious safety issue. If your child falls and gets tangled in the bedding, he or she could strangle. Bed bumpers conform to the mattress eliminating any bedding below the mattress level.
Huggers aren’t just for bunk beds. This bedding is ideal for loft beds, captain’s beds, and even regular beds that have a wide wooden frame that covers the box spring. They work with any bed where you don’t want or need the extra fabric to hang down to cover part of the bed. Get creative and show off the bed frame.
Finally, many people feel like they can save a few bucks here and there by using something they already have or can get from someone else. But when it comes to bunk bedding, it’s worth that little bit of extra money to buy the right bedding. It makes all the difference in how your bed looks, how secure it is, and how much less frustrated you’ll be with it. It will be money well spent to keep your bunk beds looking their best. They might even look as good as those bunk bed pictures that sold you on a bunk bed in the first place.
