Cocalo Crib Bedding Sets - Batters Up Baby Crib Bedding
Cocalo, a designer of moderately priced baby crib bedding since the late 1990's, first became popular for its crib bedding sets sold under the Baby Martex, OshKosh, and Kimberly Grant brand names. Priding itself on creative and fashionable designs, Cocalo has had substantial success in the category, apparently giving them the confidence to introduce new patterns under the Cocalo brand. Batters Up baby crib bedding is one of these new Cocalo crib bedding sets, first made available for sale in late 2005, featuring baseball in boys sports bedding category.
Batters Up baby crib bedding is sold as a 4-piece crib set, consisting of a comforter, four-sided crib bumper, dust ruffle, and fitted sheet. Cocalo, following the lead of other manufacturers, is increasingly introducing new patterns in 6-piece crib bedding sets which include a diaper stacker and valance.
Unfortunately, none of the pieces of the Batters Up 4-piece set baby crib bedding is available separately, thereby reducing consumer choices. In particular, an extra fitted sheet, frequently desired by consumers, is not available for Batters Up baby crib bedding.
For Batters Up baby crib bedding, Cocalo provides a relatively standard selection of nursery room accessories to assist new moms in dressing up the baby's room. Creatively combining many of the same fabrics and decorative features used in the bedding set, they make available: musical mobiles, valances, diaper stackers, lamp shades, rugs, pillows, wall border, wall decorations, and blankets.
All of the nursery room accessories coordinate perfectly with the Batters Up baby crib bedding set. The bedding pattern will work very nicely in the nursery with different combinations of blue, tan, or green wall colors, providing consumers with a wide variety of decorating options.
Cocalo uses a creative combination of plaids, stripes, and corduroys in all of the major set pieces of Batters Up baby crib bedding, along with embroidered appliqués of various baseball features. I was impressed to see that a number of the plaid fabrics were of the higher quality woven variety. In woven fabrics, differently dyed or colored threads are woven together in a manner to create the desired pattern.
Contrast this with printed fabrics, where a pattern is imprinted on the surface of a solid colored fabric. Woven fabrics are superior to, and more expensive than, printed fabrics, being more vibrant, durable, and color-fast. All embroidery on this baby crib bedding appears of high quality, with thick and smooth stitching and no discernible "bleed through" of the underlying appliquéd fabrics. All patchwork sewing appears well done, assuring durability.
Sports themed crib bedding sets are very popular among consumers looking for something for their baby boys bedding. Almost every major baby crib bedding manufacturer has at least one in their lineup. Consumers should take the time to review a few of them before settling on Batters Up, including the following baseball baby boys crib bedding sets: American Pastime by Glenna Jean, if you are seeking a more sophisticated look for the nursery; Baby League by Lambs & Ivy; and Home Run by Kidsline.
