How to Select Barbie Bedding

Little girls (and big girls, too!) love to keep their Barbies close to them. Barbie bedding is a fun way to bring the energy and prettiness of America's favorite doll to bedtime. There are a number of places online and in retail stores where you can find your choice of Barbie bedding.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Select Barbie Bedding

1. Decide what type of bedding you want. You can buy sheets, comforters, pillowcases or doll bedding. You can also buy other products, such as bedskirts, window coverings, canopies and even lamps.

2. Choose a theme. Barbie bedding comes in many different styles. For example, you could choose glamorous Barbie bedding for the youngster who likes to dream of stardom or sports Barbie bedding for the young athlete.

3. Select Barbie bedding as part of your overall plan for decorating your child's room. For example, if your child wants to be a ballerina, choose Barbie ballerina products. You may also want to select a bedding theme based on the availability of companion products (e.g., matching or complementary window covers or wall borders).

4. Choose the newest style of Barbie bedding for the trendy youngster who wants to keep up with the other girls in the neighborhood. New Barbie designs come out periodically. Ask your retailer to let you know what the newest or most popular styles are at the time you shop.

5. Choose Barbie bedding with images of shoes, dresses and princess-style crowns for little girls who love shopping, and select Malibu Barbie-themed bedding, with pictures of swimsuits and sunglasses, for Barbie fans who love the beach.

6. Select an entire bedding set. Online sites like Collector Connection sell a full range of Barbie bedding products you can use to make up an entire bedroom set that includes pillows and bedskirts (see Resources below).

7. Shop at a bed and bath store like Domestic Bin to see a wide selection of currently popular Barbie bedding (see Resources below). Let your child choose her favorite.

Tips & Warnings

• You can often find Barbie bedding at good prices on eBay (see Resources below).
• Comparison shop at a number of retailers and consider buying close-out merchandise if you want to save money and your child does not have her heart set on a particular Barbie design.
