To choose the right children's covers you have to consider your child's tastes and preferences. There are also many choices of fabrics, prints, trimmings and color. Durability and quality should also be considered. While it can be a wonderful feeling for adults to wake up in white or cream-colored sheets, which blend with almost any kind of décor or color scheme, white duvet covers for children is not a good idea for obvious reasons. The duvet cover color should be darker than the comforter or duvet it is intended to cover. If the fabric of the cover is not opaque, the color or pattern of the comforter will show through.

Beading and intricate details are wonderful adornments to look at but they are not practical features for children's covers. Children tend to thrash about during the night and adornments which might get entangled or cause marks on the skin are not good for children's beds. Parents should make sure that they buy duvet covers that can be washed at home. It could be a strain on the budget to get the cover dry cleaned frequently and this may happen if your child has friends regularly staying over necessitating more regular cleaning.
