Crib Bedding

So I think this is what we have decided on:


My question is, did any of you actually use the crib skirt?  Especially for those who have boys.  I don't want it to be too girly or just a hassle to deal with.  They have a set that comes with the quilt, sheet, and skirt.  Or I could just buy the quilt and sheet separately.

Re: Crib Bedding

  • I don't have bedding yet, but I can imagine wanting a skirt in case you want to store clothes for upcoming seasons/extra diapers and such under the crib and non visable
  • Yeah, I also know some people who use the under crib area for storage. Others have just bought some cute baskets to store things in under the crib and went without the bed skirt. So it could really work either way :)

  • We use a crib skirt. I didn't buy a bedding set just a fitted crib sheet and bed skirt since they can't have anything in the crib with them anyway.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • We used the skirt both times until we lowered the crib.  At that point it was too close to the floor to look nice.  Also at that point you can't fit much under the crib anyways that you'd want to cover.

  • I wasn't able to find a crib skirt I liked, so we went without.  I still kind of want one, though.  I'd get it.  Also, I'm SUPER excited you're going with one of the bedding sets I picked out for you!!!

  • I had a bed skirt on Lexi's bed. She still has it no matter how much I lowered the crib. Her bed is a convertible and we still have it when we changed it to a day bed. It wasn't a hassle and just looked nicer to have it than not have it. 

    BTW I love that bedding set.

  • Can't wait to see how your nursery turns out!

    And we used a skirt, like PPs said, it hides storage. I would get it.

  • We are using crib bed skirts. Our nursery is small and I have storage bins under there. Skirts cover that.

  • The skirt was on M's crib until we had to lower it. Then the skirt was dragging on the floor because there's not another place to tie it higher.
