I have another surprise for you… we have a new product…. and it’s not a SOLID color.   The Trendy Bed has added a printed product,   and here it is….

You are invited to experience the comfort, luxury, and softness of our new Luxurious Bloomingdale Bedding.  Silky soft made from 100% Egyptian Cotton, quality linens like this one are available only at selected Five Star Hotels.    The beauty of this 9 piece Bed In A Bag  is that you get one set with two looks.   The back colors of the duvet cover and shams are the opposite print of the front… so by turning the duvet cover and shams over, you will get a new look in 10 seconds. 

This 9 piece ensemble includes:  Duvet Cover, Pillow Shams, Euro Shams, Fitted Sheet, Pillow Cases, and a Down Alternative comforter.  The Bloomingdale Bedding comes in five different 2-tone color combinations:  Taupe & Black,  Navy & White,  White & Black,  Chocolate & Blue, and Blush & Chocolate.  

I have done other articles on the benefits of these ensembles, check out Trendy Bed In A Bag  as to why these are cost effective and trendy!

Have you been shopping for some new bedding on line and seen a term that was totally foreign to you?   At The Trendy we’ll help you take the guess work out of your next shopping experience with this list of essential bedding terminology.

Bed Spread:  A bed cover with sides that do go to the floor, does not “require” a bed skirt.

Comforter:  A bed cover that is filled and quilted and usually reversible,  does require a bed skirt to complete that “Trendy Bed” look, sides go about halfway to floor.  (Picture above)

Thread Count:  The number of thread ends per square inch in a woven fabric.

Bed Skirt:  Also called Bed Ruffle or Dust Ruffle – a decorative piece of bedding used to cover the box spring and legs of the bed.  It usually fits between the mattress and box spring and hangs to the floor. 

Drop:  The length of the Bed Skirt.

Pleated:  Sew in folds like a fan.

Flanged:  A decorative band of fabric that is straight or “tailored”;  often used to describe pillow shams.

Pillow Shams:  A decorative covering for pillows, often designed with trims, ruffles, flanges or cording.  Shams are normally placed behind the pillows used to sleep on.

European Sham or (Euro Sham):  A decorative pillow covering which fits a large 26″ x 26″ pillow.

Tailored:  Simple in line or design.

Boudoir Pillows or Breakfast Pillows:  Small rectangular decorative throw pillows.

Many people find themselves unsure when placing an Internet order.  Placing an order online can be easily perceived as difficult… your monitor may not reflect the true color of the products as each monitor is set differently.  Then you find yourself asking questions like:  Will I like the items when they arrive?  What will happen if I don’t?  How long will I have to decide if I like it or not?  How do I educate myself about the products and the company I am ordering from before I place my order?

First of all, before actually placing an order read all you can on the merchant’s website.  Look for the company’s policies, is there a return policy?  How long do I have once I receive the purchase?  What restrictions are there regarding returning?  What is considered a special order?  What are Non-returnable items?   How does the merchant charge you?   This way, when placing the order you agree to the terms and conditions of your order and understand what that is. 

We have found the above to be the best advice we can offer to our customers and potential customers of The Trendy Bed, we truly want satisfied customers.

Many online businesses must charge a restocking fee for returned items.  This is because the vendors the merchant deals with will also charge them for returned items, and some will not accept returned bedding unless defective.  It is not uncommon for this fee to be upwards of 30%.    Due to the great savings and bonuses like free shipping, merchants cannot absorb the restocking fee. 

Other things to keep in mind when ordering online…. when you do receive your purchase, inspect them thoroughly.  If you find a defect in any of your items report it immediately to The Trendy Bed, or your merchant.  If you wait too long there may be nothing customer service can do for you.  Hold on to your original packaging for a little while as many merchants require you to return your products in the original packaging.    Please confirm your merchant’s policy regarding returning items once opened.   I would like to note there are Federal Health restrictions regarding bedding once opened, just like restrictions on returning bathing suites.

Any questions you have regarding ordering, or returning can be answered by simply calling the merchant’s customer service department or emailing them with your concern.   At The Trendy Bed we would welcome your questions or concerns before you order, than after the fact.

This is a picture of the New and Improved Stay Tidy Bed Skirt pins that I have come across – they work great!

We all know that some bed skirts can slide around while you’re in the process of changing your sheets or even making the bed.  These bed skirts pins stop that from happening. 

How to install:   Slide your mattress over about 4 – 6 inches, make sure your bed skirt is where you want it;  the top, the bottom, the drop is right, etc… then looking at the drawing above, you place the pin about 2″ from the end of the mattress and push it in and twist your wrist to make the bend in the pin and your done.  The bend in the pin is what actually stops the pin from falling out.   At The Trendy Bed we carry these “Stay Tidy Bed Skirt“ 12 pins in a package - that’s 4 pins for each side and the end.   Each package should do one bed.

These can also be used to hold your sheets in place, if you are one of those people that toss and turn during the night and you feel like every morning it’s like making your bed all over again, these could be your saving grace.  They will hold your sheets in place and the pins will not pull out if installed correctly.    To test this, install the pin and then pull on the sheet, if it does pull out, turn the pin around and install the “bend” the other way.  The angle of the pin should anchor the pin against the force of the pull in installed correctly.

What is the difference between “Made to Order” and “Custom” and what does this mean for you?

The term “Made to order” describes products that are manufactured per request. These products are made with a pre-determined size and style in mind.  Each order is actually cut and produced for that individual customer.  Most companies that create made to order merchandise offer the highest quality products available.  

Some consumers can be discouraged or order from a “made to order” on line company, like The Trendy Bed because of the wait.  In reality, making a product to order not only preserves the quality of the merchandise, it prevents damage to the product, such as fading of fabrics, and ensures that the customer will receive a well made piece of merchandise.  Not to mention that, as a consumer, you can feel good about knowing that your order is especially made and packaged just for you!

The term “custom” refers to a company that will actually make a product to the discretion of the customer’s needs.  Custom work is often more costly and takes longer, but is worth the wait.    Custom work is a great way to recreate a product that has been discontinued, or no longer available retail.    Custom work is also an effective way to create an absolutely unique and original look to your room.  Most companies who offer custom work require that you contact them directly so they can provide a quote based on your individual needs. 

I hope this helps in defining the difference between “Made to Order” and “Custom”,  at The Trendy Bed more than 50% of our products are “Made to Order” and most of them ship out within 10 to 15 business days.  We do offer rush shipment which actually means rush production at the textile mill and these orders will ship out within 72 business hours.   (No weekends)

Visit The Trendy Bed for all your made to order bedding items, we specialize in:  Bed Skirts, Comforters, Sheet Sets, Daybed beddng, Duvet Covers, Satin Sheets, Satin Comforters, Eyelet Comforters, Flannel Bedding,  Denim Comforters, Cap Comforters, Inseparable Sheet Sets,  2-Tone semi-custom comforters, down comforters, mattress pads, and Stay Tidy bed skirt pins and more…

I am always looking for new items for The Trendy Bed and I came across these Incog-Neato  Decorative Leak proof Pads and what a GREAT idea.

INCOG-NEATO leak proof protectors are comfortable, yet durable.  Designer style bed protectors that were originally intended for use by children with bed wetting challenges.  (I don’t like the word “problems”)    These not only make the children feel special, they aren’t embarrassed by the look.   It looks just like a cool cover with quilting for extra comfort that kids love.

Incog-Neato Bed protectors soak up bed wetting accidents, so sheets stay dry.  Simply lay the bed protector over the bottom sheet.  When an “accident” happens, just take the Incog-Neato off the bed and toss it in the laundry.  Machine wash warm, delicate cycle, non-chlorine bleach only, and tumble dry low.

Here’s just some of the other uses for the Incog-Neato:

Bedding:  Protects against all kinds of bed accidents – babies, children, children when sick,  Moms-T0-Be, sick adults, invalids, dogs sleeping on the bed, and more.

Baby/Changing pad:  Mat protects any surface and protects child from environment.  Is designed to be folder up in three sections to fit in you diaper bag, large purse, or carry on luggage.

Furniture:  Protects fine furniture from spills and pets.

Cars:  Protects seats from wet bathing suits, spills, and pets.

Dog use:  Protect any surface and great for dog beds.

Boat use:  Protects cabin seats from web bathing suites.

#1     Satin Pillow Cases.   Do you know that satin pillow cases are good for your skin, and your hair.  Cotton being a natural fiber draws the moisture out of your skin during the night and you hair gets caught in the cotton fibers and breaks off.  At the Trendy Bed you can order Standard, Queen,  King and 3 different  Body Pillow sizes in our Bridal Satin or Luxurious Satin in more than15 colors. 

#2   Bed Skirt Pins.  Great stocking stuffer for any Mom.  Keep that bed skirt in place and having that “just made” bed is any mothers dream.  Easy to use, you don’t have to move your mattress but only a inch or two to install these pins into your box spring to hold that bed skirt in place.

Bedding / Comforter Storage Bag

 #3   Bedding / Comforter Storage Bag.  These bags are great to store that down comforter in for the warmer months,  has front pockets for pillow cases or fitted sheet straps.  These are also a very helpful bag when taking your bedding to that summer vacation retreat.  Renting a house at the Beach, Lake, or going to the Mountains to enjoy the snow and you have to take your own bedding.   Do you have a RV or Boat, where do you store your bedding?  This bag say “Trendy Bedding” all over it!

#4   Sheet Set.   Our Egyptian cotton sheet sets come in 300 thread count, up to 1500 thread count.  Wrap yourself in the Softness of the luxurious 100% Egyptian cotton sheets like those found in World Class Hotels.  Imported from the Land of Cleopatra, these fine luxury bed linens are crafted from long staple Giza cotton grown in the lush Nile River valley since the time of the Pharaohs.  Comfort, quality and opulence set our luxury bedding in a class above the rest. Elegant yet durable, their softness is enhanced with each washing.
