Prepare Before You Shop for NASCAR Bedding

1. Measure the thickness of your child's mattress. You'll need to have this measurement in order to select the correct-sized pockets on fitted sheets.
2. Look at your child's bedroom with a decorator's eye. Take note of the color of the walls, carpet and curtains. You'll want to get bedding that compliments these colors.
3. Find out which drivers your child likes best. Shop for bedding that pertains to those drivers.
4. Decide if you just need a few pieces or an entire bedding ensemble. For the casual fan, a NASCAR blanket or pillow may suffice. The die-hard follower may appreciate a NASCAR quilt, sheets and even a sleeping bag.

Buy NASCAR Bedding

5. Go right to the source. The NASCAR.com Superstore (see Resources below) is the official online store for all NASCAR-themed merchandise.
6. Patronize a children's specialty store. Such stores carry a wide variety of themed toy products and furnishings for many different interests. You will find plenty of NASCAR bedding products among their offerings.
7. Visit the children's section of a department store. Large department stores often carry themed merchandise that appeals to children, including NASCAR bedding.
8. Try a secondhand store. As the children of the world outgrow their NASCAR bedding, their parents may see fit to donate it to stores such as these. This is your opportunity to snag some nice NASCAR bedding at a good price.
9. Go to a garage sale. Check listings in the local newspaper in advance to see what types of items will be sold there. If you see a garage sale advertising sporting goods or children's bedroom accessories, be sure to go to that sale. You may find just what you need.

Tips & Warnings

• NASCAR bedding is typically found in the bedrooms of very young children. If your child is over the age of 12, be sure to ask if NASCAR bedding is something she would want before you buy it.
• Cotton bedding is best. It's durable and can be machine-washed. Synthetic fabrics may not hold up well under multiple washings and may even require dry cleaning.
