Tween boys are a funny group of kids; they're obviously not little children anymore, but they also aren't teens yet. However, they are definitely opinionated, and those opinions can be about everything from what's for dinner any given night to the best video game out there to the sheets on their bed.
My own tween is pretty into his bedding — for him, it's a fun way to express part of his personality. He has always gravitated toward bright bedding (Ikea is a constant favorite) and character bedding (so much Star Wars!), but we've both noticed that as he's getting older, it's harder to find bedding he likes that isn't striped, covered in trucks, or sports-themed. There's nothing wrong with those options, but they just aren't him.
Here are some ideas for bedding for tween boys that is cute, comfortable, and a little out of the ordinary … just like your favorite tween boy.
