You might have heard the term kids bed in a bag mentioned before; it?s quite ubiquitous on the internet. Bed in a bag is used interchangeably with bed in a box. Largely, both terms refers to the same thing.� The question might have gone through your mind, what?s a bed in a bag/box? A Bed in a bag is just a random m�lange of bed linen such as; comforter, duvet, quilts, coverlets, pillowcases, pillow shams, sheets sets, bed skirts, bed huggers, and even accent pillows.
The first time I heard the phrase bed in a bag talked about the first thing that came to my mind was that it was a kind of portable fold up bed that?s used at night and folded up during the daytime, a space saving device of some sort. I later learned that a bed in a bag was not a bed but actually bedding, a mishmash collection of just about any of the aforementioned items of bedding, in any variation that suits a bedding retailer?s fancy.
I have no idea who invented the term, my theory is that ?bedding in a bad? or bedding in a box is a bit of a tongue twister, so it was shortened to bed in a bag/box, I don?t know that?s just a guess. Try saying it out loud, and you might see that my theory is not too far-fetched.� If I?m right then I would like to congratulate the creator of that phrase, notwithstanding the fact that it?s somewhat misleading.. I guess he or she thought the phrase would catch on eventually, it caught on indeed.
Now fully equipped with enough knowledge and information, I will try to dispense a little bit of information you might find useful if you decide to purchase anything of those thing with the weird name; bed in bag.
The key thing to do before making a purchase is reading the information provided by the seller.� I have discovered from my research that they don?t always do a good job of explaining what comes in the package, if you are in doubt, either call the retailer or take your business elsewhere, any seller who fails to explain what they are selling does not deserve your business. Also, I have seen cases where a bed in a box is just a sheet set.
What should you expect to see in a bed is a bag? The answer is simply, there is no set type of bed in a bag, you just have to read the information provided.� Just to highlight the difference you may find from bed in a bag to the other.� I did a quick check online can came with the following variations:
