Wanting a little big kid bed

[Babybear2006]

Thinking about buying a twin size bed and mattress and putting guard rails on it. Then going to get a cute kids bed spread. I'm also going to have a mattress protector on it, which every little bedwetter must have.

What characters would you have on your matress?

Good question I'd have to look at what Walmart has might have to get the girl bed spread even though I'm a little boy.

Sounds super fun. My dream is to be able to have a bed like that too. Fun cartoon characters and an audible crinkle when you sit or lay on it to let you know a bedwetter sleeps there.

That’s pretty much what I have but I had to go without a cloth mattress protector so I don’t get the crinkle factor…. Being in Florida the plastic protector just makes the mattress too hot.

I know that feeling well, I'm in Texas but I have a window unit in the bed room

You’re in the same boat with the heat. Right now we only have the central air.

And we have a crazy cat so we have to close the door at night if she will just come in and wake you. So it gets too hot in the room because the thermostat is in the common area.

Going to talk to the hvac guy to see if they can add a additional thermostat in one of he rooms to improve it but haven’t gotten to it yet.

I got a race car bed …

I had central air until it went out 2 years ago and going to cost 1300 to replace. I've only got a dog inside that sleeps on the couch but I have a baby gate to keep him out of the hallway.

I want to do something similar. My current bed has kiddie covers and stuff and a protector but I can't really do what I want because I'm not alone where I live. I would prefer something similar to what you described above with like a paw patrol or another younger print on it.

Did every single thing you mentioned, and elevated it so my dog can have a den underneath . Words of advice: Walmart sheets are easy to come by and cheap, but the quality is poor. Pottery Barn Kids has all kinds of character sheets in 100% cotton, and worth every penny! Quality is unbeatable, and they're super comfy. I have Star Wars on right now!

Bed rails are good, but they also make twin sized toddler beds if you are so inclined. Here are the Spiderman and Lightning Mcqueen versions.

I have a normal queen-size bed, but have a variety of kids standard pillowcases and twin or full comforters that I put on and cycle through.
You can definitely get away with having a double/full size kids comforter fit on a queen-size bed. Even a twin won't be the end of the world - if you like to just wrap yourself in blankets it won't really end up mattering that much lol
If you're sharing the bed with another person, you may also opt to have 2 comforters for each person in case one person is a blanket hog.

I also have a mattress protector, I think it's a combination of cloth and plastic? Not sure. I got it with the mattress partially for protecting the warranty, but also because it provides peace of mind if I ever have a leak.

Most of my kids pillowcases and comforters are from Walmart, Amazon or eBay, with a few exceptions.

If you want to dip your toes in the water, perhaps start by getting a comforter and pillow cases and speak to your little side and go from there?

Sadly they seem to be unavailable since many years now, and I had discovered about them much too late but alas probably for the best

Not sure if there's anything else that is like that still available now

Something I was envious of as a kid was a racecar bed. I don't know if I need a racecar bed but I like the idea for kiddie bed sheets.

I was the same as a child, my Christmas list every year had a race car bed on it. I was finally able to get myself one when I moved out on my own and loved it ever sense.
