Exactly What Size is Cot Bed Bedding?

Posted on

Choosing the right bedding can make or break a camp stay! For your camper’s restful nights while away, it’s imperative to select bedding that will fit snugly and provide comfort.

Finding the Right Fit: What Size is Cot Bed Bedding?

Our Cot Bed Bedding Sets are super cozy for your camper.

25-30 inches wide and 75-80 inches long. 

Sheets specifically designed for these dimensions ensure a snug and secure fit, maximizing comfort and practicality.

Loose or ill-fitting sheets can shift during the night, creating discomfort and interrupting a camper’s sleep. Choosing bedding designed specifically for standard cot dimensions ensures not only comfort but also a sense of security, which is especially important for kids adjusting to a new environment.

The Proper Camp Bedside Manner

All parents want their child to excel at camp and that includes getting a good night’s sleep after ‘light’s out’. Sleep not only restores their energy but also sharpens their focus, lifts their mood, and strengthens their ability to soak in the lessons and memories of camp life. 

Make sure your camper is tucked in cozy tight with our Cot Bed Bedding Set.We offer the perfect sheets for camp cots so your camper is set up for success, one peaceful night at a time. Not just some organic cotton deal either, we offer cot bed bedding sets constructed of a durable combed microfiber material with a pillowcase included.

Dimensions: Typically 25-30 inches wide and 75-80 inches long (63.5 - 76 cm x 190.5 - 203 cm).

Features: Lightweight and durable materials designed for portability and ease of use.

Best For: Campers who need compact and functional bedding options for outdoor trips.

How to Choose the Best Cot Bed Bedding Set for Your Camper

Get Cot Measurements: 

You'll want to start with accurate dimensions to guarantee a proper fit, so it's important to contact your camp and ask for the dimensions of their cots. This way you can be sure that you're purchasing the right size. 

Picking Right Material: 

For outdoor use, prioritize fabrics that are lightweight, quick-drying, and durable. For use in the cabin or other indoor accommodations your camp offers, the material's resilience is less critical. While durability is still a bonus, the focus can shift to comfort and coziness. Cotton blends, for example, offer breathability and softness, making them a great option for indoor settings where environmental factors are less of a concern.

Ultimately, the right fabric depends on the specific needs of your camper's environment, but by considering these factors, you can ensure a restful and hassle-free camp experience.

Guarantee your camper gets great nights of sleep while your camper is away with our Cot Bed Bedding.Look for Easy-to-Clean Bedsheets: 

Camping can get messy, so a duvet cover and other sheets that are machine washable and stain-resistant can save parents time and hassle when it’s time to unpack.

Consider Cot Bed Bedding Sets: 

Many options come as sets with fitted sheets and blankets designed to work seamlessly with standard cot sizes. You can find our Twin Bed Bedding Sets available right here as well!

We’re dedicated to providing campers with the gear they need for a successful adventure. From durable camp sheets to expert guidance, we ensure you’re prepared for every step of your journey. Explore our range today and rest easy knowing you’re in good hands.

Embrace Your Inner Glam with Caboodles: The Evolution of Cosmetic Organization

Posted on

Lookin’ good, Camp Folks!

1987! The same year that Craig and Nancy Cornell crafted the first C&N camp trunks, Caboodles launched the On-The-Go Girl Makeup Box. Caboodles revolutionized the world of cosmetic organization, inspired by a simple, yet ingenious idea—a tackle box!

The Caboodle name pop into place in bubbly font.
It was just the year prior that the iconic Vanna White (the graceful and beautiful assistant on the long-running Wheel of Fortune gameshow) was spotted using a tackle box—you know, for fishing. But instead of storing hooks and lures, she used it to keep her makeup essentials in order. Recognizing the need for a stylish and functional solution for makeup storage, Plano Molding Company introduced Caboodles.

Two girls stand with smiles and their Caboodle travel makeup kit.
Since its inception, Caboodles has been empowering makeup enthusiasts, neat freaks, and fashionistas alike to keep their essentials neatly organized in style. While trends may come and go, Caboodles products remain timeless classics, sought after for their efficient organization, smart design, and retro charm.

Thanks to Vanna’s innovation and resourcefulness in her repurposing of a tackle box, summer campers now have a stylish and functional solution for storing makeup essentials. This addition to the Everything Summer Camp gear lineup was a no-brainer, providing campers with a convenient way to keep their cosmetics neatly organized during their summer adventures.

As Caboodles continues to boldly redefine cosmetic organization and inspire individuals to embrace their inner glam, we’re thrilled to now offer this bubbly brand name to our shoppers! When you're organized AND glamorous, there's no limit to what you can achieve! Thanks for reading, Camp Folks. And, as always, Happy Glamping!

Unpacking the History of Camp Trunks

Posted on

Hey, History Buffs!

Ever wondered about the story behind those trusty camp trunks that tag along on all your summer adventures? Well, buckle up because we're about to take a trip through time and unravel the fascinating history of these nifty storage buddies!

The Ark of the Covenant is a hidden treasure of knowledge. In the end, just a storage box.

Blast from the Past: Biblical Trunks

Ancient times and epic tales from The Bible call upon some seriously legendary trunks like the Ark of the Covenant and Noah's Ark. Ark is just an old word for chest. The Ark of the Covenant, described in the Old Testament, was a sacred chest believed to house the stone tablets inscribed with the Ten Commandments.

Then there’s Noah's Ark. You might think to yourself, but that was a giant boat, not a trunk. They called it an Ark for a reason, though. This massive vessel had to keep all its passengers—humans and animals—safe throughout a colossal flood.These legendary trunks symbolize protection, preservation, and divine guidance.

Trunks known as Limber Chests were used on the battlefields of the Civil War.

Warriors and Their Trunks: Civil War Edition

Fast forward to the American Civil War, where soldiers had a different kind of trunk on their hands – the limber chest. These bad boys were like the superheroes of storage, carrying all the essential supplies and ammo right into the heart of battle. Talk about tough trunks serving on the front lines!

 

Read how young women used storage trunks back in the days of old.

Dowry Chests

Now, let's zoom into the cozy corners of domestic life, where hope chests, also known as dowry chests, took center stage. Imagine young brides-to-be collecting treasures like linens and dishes, dreaming of their future homes and happy lives. These magical chests were like time capsules full of hope, love, and big dreams for the future!

 

Fast forward again to modern times, where camp trunks are the unsung heroes of summer camp adventures! From storing your snazziest camp gear to keeping your favorite snacks safe, these trusty trunks have your back. They're not just containers – they're symbols of freedom, fun, and friendship at camp!

So, there you have it, folks – the incredible journey of camp trunks through history! From biblical sagas to wartime heroics and domestic dreams, these versatile trunks have seen it all. So, the next time you're packing up for camp, remember the epic tales behind your favorite summer sidekick—your camp trunk! Thanks for reading, Camp Folks! And, as always, Happy Camping!
