It's That Time of Year:
Kid-Friendly Flannel Bedding

All-Aboard Train Flannel Duvet Cover, Pottery Barn Kids

The heat in our apartment building kicked on for the first time yesterday - a seasonal rite of passage. Another, for many folks, is taking out the flannel bedding. Last year at this time, I rounded up some cute, kid-friendly flannels and I've done the legwork again to see what's out there this year.

Solid flannel sheets and duvets are easy to find, but you have to turn some rocks over to find patterns. Time to get toasty!

Target always has flannel sheets and duvet covers, and in patterns. The quality is not tremendous, but for less than $25 you can't beat it.

Okay, I looked at the moose bedding on Land of Nod. Is the duvet cover not available or being sold? All I see is the sheet set.

I would like the glow in the dark space ships and ponies in king for my own bed, thankyouverymuch.

Cute comforter, but I've never seen so much white in a kid's room! My nephews would have this soiled in ten minutes haha

A lovely selection! I love flannel even though I'm well beyond childhood. It's so very cozy, and I enjoy the extra heft. Freshly washed flannel duvet cover + down comforter = heaven.

Are flannel sheets just for kids? I have a plaid flannel duvet, and several sheets, from the Company Store that I absolutely love. It's so cozy.

Kid friendly? I want that first one!!

Me too...

And it's not even that expensive...

Ooooh! I'd love to cozy up to any of these flannels. Thanks for digging them up and sharing them. The glow in the dark space one is so awesome. I bet my nephew would love them!

Such great options!

a little late - but until 11:59 p.m. CST on 10-9-12 lands end is offering 40% off on a single item (and free shipping if it's over $50). i'm sure a google search will turn up the promo code.

I just go the boys strip flannel from land's end with the 40% it came out to $50!! Thank you cookiemomster....

ok meant to say got and stripes!!! I was to excited typing..lol...

I LOVE Garnet Hill flannel, but I did find some darling polka dot flannels for my kiddo at Target and they are so soft and have a great weight to them! :)

I recently saw some really cool bedding sets for kids here:
