Captains Bed Bedding:
Get Specialty Bedding for Captains Beds of All Sizes
Captains bed bedding is designed specifically to fit the traditional captain bed style that is noted for its platform mattress frame, built-in storage drawers, and solid headboard and footboard features.
Conventional bedding, such as sheets, comforters, quilts, pillows, mattress toppers and duvets can generally be used for a captains bed. However, they are sometimes not constructed to fit this type of bed design as neatly or as functionally as captains bed bedding.
Measurements are Key in Choosing the Best Bedding
There are many different captain bed sizes and the dimensions can vary greatly, so choosing the best set of bedding made specifically for this bed style can be tricky.
For example, if you're looking for captains bed sheet sets, you should measure the mattress, since many of these can run a bit smaller than traditional mattresses.
A mattress made specifically for this bed frame, can sometimes be an inch or two different in dimensions than a conventional mattress design. So, be sure to measure your captains bed mattress before choosing such items as sheets, bed toppers or mattress pads to ensure a correct fit.
Don't forget to measure the depth of your mattress as well, since they can range anywhere from 4" or 5" to well over 10" thick.
Some mattresses can as thick as 25"! Ah...luxury! Since this bed frame requires only a mattress, you won't have to deal with a mattress box spring set.
Measuring your mattress correctly is the key to getting a great fit for any captains bed bedding that you choose, especialy sheet set, toppers and mattress pads.
TIP: Remember that when making up this particular bed style after a night's sleep, you generally will be tucking the sheets under the mattress at all sides to expose the unique workmanship of the bed and the drawers underneath for easy access. This is part of the special appeal of a captains bed, so keep this in mind when you choose the best size and style for your sheet sets.
