Bedding The teen has a twin size bed in the room so you DO NOT need to buy a bed. But you need to buy new bedding. What is bedding? It is sheets, comforters, blankets, quilts, pillows. Do you need to buy all these items. No! You do need to buy sheets, pillows and something for warmth

Bedding Vocabulary Sheet Set – 1 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet and a pillow case Bed in a Bag – 1 sheet set, a comforter, pillow sham and maybe a bed skirt Pillow sham – A decorative cover for a pillow that usually matches the comforter Comforter or bedding set – the number of pieces in the set will determine what comes in the set. A 4 piece set will have a comforter, bed skirt and 2 pillow shams. The more pieces the more items Duvet or quilt cover – it is like a giant pillow case that fits over a down or fiber fill comforter. Remember even if the picture shows them none of these items come with pillows that you sleep on
