"A Beautiful Thing is Never Perfect"
The biggest obstacle to shopping at Baby Brown's is price. If you're just looking for crib sheets, you'll find some adorable ones at reasonable prices. If you're looking for an entire nursery...the price will be higher.Pay close attention to fabrics when you're choosing your set. Although silk may sound nice, remember these will be spit up on, leaked over, and drenched with drool. Either be okay with new dry cleaning costs, or choose something you can wash at home.
In all, you can't go wrong shopping at Baby Brown's for your designer baby bedding. In fact, it is one of the things they are most well-known for. It's an easy 5-out-of-5 rating.

Designer Baby Bedding:
Baby Because
Things You'll Love
If your baby has sensitive skin, or if you prefer to have an all-natural nursery, the organic crib sheets will be your lifesaver. Besides bedding, they also have safe co-sleepers and organic mattresses, things that are relatively hard to find.

"A Beautiful Thing is Never Perfect"
Baby Because offers the basics, but that's all. No bumpers, no "pretty" designer baby bedding sets. The design here is mostly in the quality of fibers.However, the sheepskin floor blankets and Taggies blankets (also for floor use) are unique to Baby Because. I found that Baby Because was a mile wide, but only an inch thick in many areas (including in the area of baby bedding). I counted 21 bedding products to choose from.
Although the quality is top-notch, the limitation of choices has forced a 3 out of 5 rating in the area of crib bedding.
Designer Baby Bedding:
Baby Catalog
Things You'll Love
So, if you want to have an "ocean" or "jungle" theme, shopping at Baby Catalog is a good start to your search. Prices are very reasonable, and it's not uncommon for them to have free shipping coupons or other offers.

"A Beautiful Thing is Never Perfect"
It's petty, but my biggest complaint is the website. It seems cluttered to me. From a design standpoint, I think they could do much better. Usually when I click through, my eyes are instantly overwhelmed and I have to take a moment to remember what I'm searching for before looking for the right link. (But that could just be me...) However, good prices could make a visit worth your while.As for the bedding, they tout three designers, but really only two have any selection. (The third, JJ Cole, had only 1 set listed as of this writing.) Again, if you like characters and themes, you'll love what they have to offer. If you prefer patterns (rather than pictures) you're better off searching elsewhere.
In all, it's a great bedding site. Is the bedding as designer as at other sites? No. But I highly recommend visiting anyway.
Designer Baby Bedding:
Baby Earth
Things You'll Love
Also unique to Baby Earth, they have the first bumper-free designed crib set I've seen. Many parents are wary about putting bumpers on their crib sets. If that's you, the "Babylicious Island" set provides a similiar style, bumper-free. I've pictured it here.

"A Beautiful Thing is Never Perfect"
I'm at a loss to come up with any negatives with Baby Earth in regards to their crib bedding. I guess if you pushed me, I would point out that not all the sets say "organic". You will have to research those non-labeled manufacturers on your own to determine if their products are considered all natural or 100% organic.
Designer Baby Bedding:
Bunnybury Baby
Things You'll Love
Girls, boys, unisex, modern, traditional...the layout makes searching so much easier. Instead of hundreds on a single page to thumb through, each section has a handful, according to that category.
Some sets are custom-made according to your order, so double check before placing your order. Those labeled "custom" will not be available for rush shipping. (See my suggestion at the top of this page about when to order your crib sets.)

I noticed a few crib sets at Bunnybury also available in other bedding boutiques. Some quick research revealed that the pricing was almost exactly the same, so you may want to make current coupons and sales your deciding shopping factor.
On the other hand, you could forget about the coupons altogether and start browsing at Bunnybury Baby right away.

Designer Baby Bedding:
Dimples and Dandelions
Things You'll Love
You can request free fabric swatches from most of the bedding sets they sell. If you already have a painted nursery, or have other items (like a chair) you need to match, these swatches are a godsend. No more having to buy and return several times while you search for the best match.
Besides looking around at sets, their website has given me nursery decorating ideas as well. Most sets are displayed in a nursery setting, and I love "stealing" their trendy and beautiful designs. Click here to peek at their beautiful crib bedding sets.

Dimples and Dandelions is a pretty up-scale boutique. Finding designer baby bedding under $200 is rare. If you're on a budget crunch you can A) start saving now, or B) check to see if there are any coupons you can use.If you can afford it, the designer baby bedding at Dimples and Dandelions is definitely top-notch, definitely designer.

Designer Baby Bedding:
Giggle Outfitter
Things You'll Love

The filter purifies the air, while the fan gently pushes the air up through the mesh surface and removes exhaled carbon dioxide from around your baby's face, which is particularly important if your baby prefers to sleep on her tummy. (And one of the suspect causes of SIDS.)
The mattress also removes allergens and other irritants from the air. Naturally, it's not going to feel like a standard mattress. However, doctor's recommend hard mattresses for babies, so don't be tricked into thinking your infant needs something "more comfortable". Safety first!
I know that this isn't designer baby bedding, but it is such a great product, found in such few places, that I thought it warranted a mention. It's a little more expensive than a normal mattress, so check here for coupons. Not sure if you're interested? Visit their site here (click on "Nursery") to look at it more closely.

"A Beautiful Thing is Never Perfect"
Besides the "miracle mattress" above, it has only a few blankets and sheets. This would be a poor review page if I gave them 4 or 5 stars for only a handful of products! So, despite the great mattress, they get only 3 out of 5 in regards to designer baby bedding.
Designer Baby Bedding:
GiggleBrush Designs
Things You'll Love
Are you handy with a sewing machine? GiggleBrush Designs has fabric by the yard available for purchase. Save money by making your own window treatments, accent pillows (for chairs, not inside the crib!), or the entire crib set itself.
Prices range from $140 to over $1000. You're almost guaranteed to find a price that fits your budget.

"A Beautiful Thing is Never Perfect"
GiggleBrush does not offer low-price bedding sets. However, they have a pretty good list of coupons that can help make a purchase easier. If coupons don't interest you, browse their store online.There were a few sets I saw at Dimples and Dandelions for less. However, they don't completely over-lap, so looking around is still worth your while.
Designer Baby Bedding:
The Land of Nod
Things You'll Love
They have a healthy mixture of picture- and pattern-focused prints. I especially like that their picture-based prints are not overly commercialized. (I'm not a fan of Disney-themed crib sets. I promise, you won't find those here...)
Unlike many other bedding boutiques, Land of Nod sells each item separately. This allows you to choose the exact items you want and leave the rest. This is especially helpful for mothers on a strict baby budget!
Stretch that budget even further with coupon codes. Or, go directly to look around The Land of Nod.
Designers and Brands
Organics are available. All the bedding found at Land of Nod is designed by individual designers like Susan Lazar and Jill McDonald (among others) and is sold under the Land of Nod brand name. This means that all their bedding is exclusively found at their store. You will only find these bedding sets at Land of Nod."A Beautiful Thing is Never Perfect"
The Land of Nod is known for great design, and they don't disappoint in the realm of baby bedding. They only scored a 3 out of 5 for their clothing selection (see clothing reviews here), but they've moved up for bedding.They also very cost-effective. You can pick and choose which pieces you can afford at that moment and add the rest of the pieces later (if ever). This flexibility brings Land of Nod up to 5 stars.

Designer Baby Bedding:
My Strollers
Things You'll Love
They also have a "Price Match Guarantee" on all final prices (even after rebates). If you purchase an item at My Strollers and see a better price somewhere else, within 2 weeks, let them know and they'll refund you the difference.
This level of customer care is becoming increasingly rare. Needless to say, they've managed to impress me.

All their crib sets are pretty busy. The only exception to this would be the "Nature's Purest Sleepy Safari Organic Set". This set uses base neutral tones as a backdrop for a few lions, elephants and giraffes. If you don't like characters or "themes", you won't like the bedding here.However, if you like your nursery to be interesting with trucks, animals, or flowers, they have a great selection of designs that I've not seen at other stores. This selection of unique bedding awards One Step Ahead full marks in designer baby bedding.

Pink Taffy Designs

If you're a regular blog subscriber to the EiR (and if not, you should be!), you probably already know that Pink Taffy Designs is one of my "Best of the Best Baby Boutiques". Their products are eye-popping unique and are considered to be trend-setting across the "baby" market.

Besides the designers mentioned below, Pink Taffy also has a wide-variety of custom-made bedding. Order early! It will take around 8 weeks for delivery. Becuase of this specality, many sets are found only at the Pink Taffy website.Caden Lane |

The site, although pretty, is a little clunky. It may take a little time to find what you're looking for (but in the mean time, it's fun to see all they have available!). At first, you may be tempted to think it's a "girl's store" due to all the frills and pinks. Au contraire mon fraire! Make that mistake, and you'll be missing some incredibly great designer baby bedding sets for your little boy.Expect to pay more for the bedding here than at other non designer baby bedding stores. You're purchasing double-stitched bedding with top-notch fabrics and individually-designed patterns. Those extra perks cost extra!

Designer Baby Bedding:
Posh Tots
Things You'll Love
I've looked at a lot of bedding in researching for this article, and I must confess that I found their selection to be fresh and one-of-a-kind. I was impressed with the "Retro Sock Monkey" design, awed by the bedding sets designed specifically for round cribs (something generally hard to find), and flabbergasted at the sheer volume of choices available (over 250!). Amazing toile, soft chenille, fabrics that wish the bedding was yours!
I'm not even ashamed to admit that I looked through all 14 pages. It was way too much fun, and even harder to choose a favorite. And did I mention that all the bedding ships for free?
Designers and Brands
Posh Tots has their own exclusive line of designer baby bedding, besides those listed below (in fact most of the bedding they sell is from this exclusive line). They are, quite simply, astonishing. They are also, as you might guess, custom-made to your order.Serena and Lily |

"A Beautiful Thing is Never Perfect"
The sets here are not intended for strapped-for-cash parents. I found one set at $250, and several sets on sale, but the majority of designer baby bedding sets were in the $500-$800 arena.
Once in a while, Posh Tots offers some valuable coupons worth using. Otherwise, you can
feel free to browse around by clicking here.
Posh Tots is, well, posh. Their prices reflect that. If you go in expecting to see high-end products with high-end prices, you won't keel over when you see price tags in the $500 - $1200 range. If those prices don't make you break out in a cold sweat, I highly recommend looking around.
Their unique bedding sets almost guarantee you'll be happy with what you find.


If you've enjoyed this article found it helpful, I've written a similiar article reviewing some of the top baby clothing boutiques on the web. You can see these clothing store reviews here.
I just want to remind you: Not buying the most expensive set isn't going to communicate a lack of love to your baby. My first crib set came from a second-hand shop. Lauren feels just as loved as Elena. Your baby will have no clue what she's drooling on, so don't break your budget in order to buy "the best".
