Have you looked on Pottery Barn Kids? They have some nice ones! My main reason is I think a duvet will be too "fluffy" for LO's twin bed. Especially since we have a guardrail we are going to install. What color are you looking for? Serena and Lily also has some nice quilts ($$$ :sad: ). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/duvet-or-comforterquilt-for-a-toddler#post-2112043 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 15:51:22 +0000 tysonja 2112043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think either is ok, but we went for duvet and cover. try ikea if you haven't already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/duvet-or-comforterquilt-for-a-toddler#post-2112028 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 15:45:04 +0000 LuLu Mom 2112028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally went with a comforter, the duvet seemed too bulky. My LO runs warm so I bought a lightweight comforter and then in winter throw on an extra throw if she needs it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/duvet-or-comforterquilt-for-a-toddler#post-2111976 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 15:03:57 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2111976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jone0603: Ooooh heyyyy fellow Minnesotan ;)</p> <p>I haven't really bought him bedding yet - he is three. He is still small enough that all the blankets we've had from infancy fit him just fine! (He is in a toddler bed though)</p> <p>Personally I'm in LOVE with this quilt and need to find someone to make it for my son: <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/284430532691992547/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pinterest.com/pin/284430532691992547/</a></p> <p>For a three year old I don't think duvets or quilts are too bulky. I think either is fine! Personally I like the softness of duvets a little more than quilts, but you can find soft quilts too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/duvet-or-comforterquilt-for-a-toddler#post-2111970 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 14:59:16 +0000 littlejoy 2111970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have an IKEA? I would suggest their lighter weight alternative down + a duvet cover. We actually have a level 1 and a 3, and use them at different point of the year.</p> <p>I tend to wash a duvet more often (just throw it in with the sheets), so I feel like it's a little cleaner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/duvet-or-comforterquilt-for-a-toddler#post-2111953 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 14:42:20 +0000 Astro Bee 2111953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There are some thin summer-weight duvets that you can buy. Ikea might be a place to start - I know they have several different weights there. One might be light be light enough for your toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/duvet-or-comforterquilt-for-a-toddler#post-2111948 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 14:38:58 +0000 Jone0603 2111948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are in MN. It does get hot and humid, but we crank up the A/C, so something is usually needed. </p> <p>I also don't want to wait until fall when I need something because I will be in the trenches of newborn-dome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/duvet-or-comforterquilt-for-a-toddler#post-2111943 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 14:31:20 +0000 lamariniere 2111943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Duvet, then you can change the cover more economically as your child gets older and wants a new style.</p> <p>@blackbird: same. We don't use it in the summer, just an AA swaddle at most to cover them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/duvet-or-comforterquilt-for-a-toddler#post-2111937 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 14:24:10 +0000 blackbird 2111937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you need one for the summer? It's too warm where I live to even bother with PJs on my kid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/duvet-or-comforterquilt-for-a-toddler#post-2111929 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 14:18:37 +0000 Jone0603 2111929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to be transitioning my LO to a twin bed on the floor when she is about 28 months old. I am looking into bedding and it seems like everything I like is a duvet, but it seems like that might be pretty bulky for a toddler. A comforter/quilt seems like something she could manage more, but I can't find any I love that go with the room's paint color. </p> <p>I am torn and only have about 1 month left to make a decision. </p> <p>I have looked all over (land of nod, pb, zara, target, etc.) </p>
