Convince your children to go to bed on time with these alluring bed sheets

No child wants to go to bed, there's too much life they haven't yet explored, but having the right duvet and bed sheets can help tilt the cat and mouse game in your favor.

We’re not making any promises, but they might even stay put longer in the mornings, too.

Bedding sets come in a variety of different sizes, so make sure the one you choose will fit your child’s bed and duvet.

You'll also want to look closely at the fabric quality. For maximum comfort and breathability, go for 100% cotton. If you’re looking for extra comfort, we'd suggest super soft jersey cotton.

Finally, accidents happen – so it’s vital that bedding for kids washes well without fading and dries quickly so you can pop it back on in time for bedtime.

Our testers loved this when we gave it to them, it makes their bed the centrepiece of the room. If only they did duvet covers for grownups.

Catherine Lansfield Stars and Stripes Double Duvet Set: $23.40, bonanza

A great value set for teens and tweens. It’s a polyester/cotton mix, hence the affordable price tag – but the fabric quality is good for a set that washes well without fading and can be tumble-dried.

The stars and stripes color are bright and bold, and look great in a rooms with red, white or blue accessories without being too, well, patriotic.
