There's no denying that children love mythical creatures such as mermaids, so when choosing your toddler's bedding set, you might want to opt for a mermaid duvet cover.
When you transition your little one from their cot into their own big kid bed, you want to make sure they have everything they need from the right toddler duvet to bedding you know they will love to snuggle into at night. But as any parent knows, a child's bed is a place for dreaming, story times and bedtime snuggles, so their bed should be a space for their favourite characters, making a mermaid duvet cover perfect if your little one is mermaid mad.

What to think about before buying a duvet
When it comes to choosing a duvet, there are so many things to think about, including a couple of important safety aspects that shouldn't be ignored.
• From the tog and size to the type of cover you want, it can be hard to know exactly which type to choose for your tot.
• According to the NHS, duvets aren't recommended for infants under the age of one (12 months) as this could result in suffocation.
• Toddlers are advised to use a duvet of 4.0 togs or less. Younger children can't regulate their body temperatures, so you don't want to give them a duvet that's too heavy.
• Older kids can have any duvet up to 9.0 togs (for the winter months).
Another thing to consider is that your child should be in a toddler bed before using a duvet.
Are mermaid duvet covers a good gift?
We can understand how a regular duvet cover may not seem like an exciting gift for a child but with a magical touch like a mermaid design, it can transform a practical gift into a fun one. You could even pair it with a mermaid toy to take the theme further.
If your little one loves The Little Mermaid, whether it's the animated or live-action Disney film, you could get a duvet with that design or some The Little Mermaid toys too.
