DKNY Bedding Set

First time homeowners and apartment dwellers face many challenges, not the least of which is acquiring all the items required to simply set up house. Some items may be borrowed while other things will need to be purchased; most bedding will need to be bought brand new and usually right away since sleeping accommodations are necessary right off the bat.

Whether the box spring and mattress are borrowed or brand new it’s essential to invest in a mattress protector – this will protect against dust and dirt and help to prolong mattress life. A mattress pad or mattress enhancer is especially useful on an older mattress; there are many kinds available with various features.

After the mattress has been squared away it’s important to select at least two sheet sets (experts recommend three, with one set on the bed, one set in the wash and one set at the ready); the typical sheet set consists of a flat top sheet, a fitted bottom sheet and two standard pillowcases.

When shopping for sheet sets it’s a good idea to consider seasonality – you may wish to pick up a flannel sheet set for colder weather, a cozy jersey knit sheet set for whenever and a crisp cotton sheet set for warmer weather.

After selecting sheets you will need a quilt or comforter set; these typically include a bed skirt, a quilt or comforter and two decorative pillow shams. You may wish to splurge on luxury bedding or you may decide to stick with the basics – either way, it’s easy to browse and shop online at the major bed and bath stores and have the goods delivered directly to your new place; with so much to do, this can be a real time-saver.
