MWFB: Carousel Designs - Review

As soon as B and I found out we were expecting, we started talking about and planning baby's nursery. I am a "major" planner, so I thought we were doing great when we finally agreed on this specific gender neutral nursery theme. However, everything changed as soon we had our anatomy scan and the sono-tech announced we were having a baby girl. That is when B revoked all of our ideas of going gender neutral and replaced them with everything girly and pink. I was shocked!! I quickly became overwhelmed with all of the different bedding options, colors, and patterns. And it didn't help that B and I couldn't agree on any of them. Until we found Carousel Designs.


More about Carousel Designs:

From its start as a small family business in 1988, Carousel Designs has grown to become an award-winning national online retailer and trusted brand of premium baby bedding, twin bedding and home décor. Jonathan Hartley continues the family tradition of ownership as CEO with his business partner Allan Sicat, President. The two dads of young children are both graduates of the United States Military Academy in West Point, NY and are U.S. Army veterans. Hartley and Sicat take special pride that all Carousel Designs baby bedding products are proudly made in the USA.

Carousel Designs has an amazing selection of baby bedding in a wide variety of designs/styles and fabrics! In addition to a huge selection of pre-designed crib bedding, they also offer a really cool Nursery Designer tool, where parents can design their own baby bedding from a selection of 300+ high quality fabrics and preview their design in the virtual nursery online. You can even order fabric swatches to get the true color, texture, look, and feel of the fabric(s) to better help your design and decision making. With so many options, you are sure to find the girl crib bedding, boy crib bedding, or the custom crib bedding you have always dreamed of having for your baby's nursery!


Carousel Designs also offers a Crib Bedding A la Carte section on their website that allows individual crib bedding pieces -- such as the crib sheet or crib skirt -- to be purchased separately. This is also a great option because it allows you to mix and match the Carousel Designs crib bedding patterns.


I actually had the opportunity to review the adorable Carousel Designs Pink Circles Crib Sheet, which can be found in the Crib Bedding A la Carte section.

My Thoughts!
I can definitely tell the Pink Circles Crib Sheet from Carousel Designs is quality made. The crib sheet is made out of 100% cotton that feels soft to the touch, has a nice solid weight to it, and has easy care instructions of machine wash and tumble dry. I love the fact that it's American made, too!

I also love how the fitted crib sheet features deep, 9-inch pockets with elastic all the way around the edges. The deep pockets of the Carousel Designs Pink Circles Crib Sheet makes changing the crib sheet very easy and hassle free (great for those sleep deprived, middle of the night sheet changes that I keep hearing about). And the elastic edges help ensure a tight and secure fit. Both of which are very important -- time saving for mommy and safety for baby!
