Train Bedding With Thomas and Friends

When we speak of train bedding, some of us instantly think about bed time bed wetting and not about powerful steam engines. Since the scope of this article is on bedding design, let's look at trains. There is something about steam engines and the raw power of a train that draws boy's and men's attention. For children, the choice is very simple. For adults, it becomes more complex because of limited options. So let's look at train bedding for kids.

Are you familiar with Thomas the Tank Engine? He might also be known as Thomas the Steam Engine. If not, you should be! In 1945 the hit series "The Three Railway Engines" made its debut and was a hit. Children everywhere loved looking at the daily lives of these trains who had faces and could communicate to each other. Now the hit show is known as Thomas and Friends.

Thomas and his friends are now imprinted on various styles of train bedding. Thomas the blue tank engine, James the red engine and Henry the green engine make their appearance.

The Thomas the Train sheet set comes with a pillow case, flat sheet, and a fitted sheet. The biggest issue is that it doesn't feel soft on the skin and is a bit thin in thickness. The reason for this is because it is 60% cotton and has only a 120 thread count. However, for most boys, the design with trains on them will overrule any potential discomfort. For $19.09, it is a small investment that will help make bed time that much easier.

Changing your boy's bed to a bigger one can be a challenge. Of course train bedding can do that provided Thomas the Engine is there to protect him. The comforter is a real steal at under $30. It could be softer but again the thread count is 132 and only 55% cotton.

There is a set that tops almost all kids bedding sets I've seen before. For $82 including shipping gets you a twin comforter, pillow case, fitted sheet, and curtains. All you would have left to do is add wall paper and a lamp. The quality falls in line with the individual items but buying it as a bed set saves you a lot of money.

How about the Little Tikes Thomas bed box? This is a complete stylish bed that allows you to sleep inside of a train engine and complements very well with your other train bedding. One thing that you should take notice of is, that the mattress needs some sort of support or it will rest on the floor. The best way to fix that is to use some plywood or 2x4 boards. Unfortunately it doesn't contain these boards in the package. Something they should have made a lot clearer. This bed box will cost about $250 and should be okay for children up to 4 or 5 years old depending on how tall they are since it can only handle a crib mattress. And it doesn't just house a mattress. It also contains store space for books and toys. It also has a track for cars to go on.

Thomas train bedding can be found easily at Walmart, online at Amazon.com, or similar shopping web stores.

If you don't want Thomas and Friends, you can opt for Olive Kids planes, trucks, and train bedding. It is not completely train oriented, more like sports bedding, but it should still suit any prospective train conductor. Unfortunately, train bedding has been faded from the market for adults. The closest thing that you might be able to come across is rail road bedding. But honestly, it's just not the same.
