How One Simple Bedroom Change Boosted My Teen's Mood (and Mine)

I didn’t think a doona cover could change much until it did.

Rebecca, B. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My 14-year-old son had hit that phase moody, messy, and glued to his headphones. His room? Dark, cluttered, and definitely not somewhere he wanted to spend time (unless he was gaming in the dark).

So I took a chance. I ordered a personalised quilt cover from Little Squiffy one with a bold, basketball design and his name splashed across it like he was in the NBA. I figured if nothing else, it might make him smile for half a second.

🎯 The Impact? Instant Confidence

The day it arrived, he actually said, “That’s sick.” Which, if you know teens, is basically a love letter. He made his bed without me asking. He even posted a pic to his mates.

Suddenly, he wanted to be in his room. He rearranged his desk. He cleared the clutter. That one design that one choice gave him a little spark again.

🛏️ Why Bedding Makes a Bigger Difference Than You Think

We always think about what’s on the walls or what furniture to buy. But the bed is the biggest thing in the room. If it looks fresh, the whole space does. And when it reflects your kid’s interests — sport, stars, colour, animals, whatever — it gives them something to connect with, something that feels like theirs.

🎨 Designed to Be Theirs

Little Squiffy’s designs aren’t off-the-shelf. They're bold, customisable, and creative. You can personalise most quilt covers with a name, initial, or favourite colour combo. From galaxy vibes to football fever, it’s not just bedding  it’s identity wrapped in a doona.

💤 Oh, and It’s Actually Comfortable

This isn't just about looks. The fabric is soft, breathable, and kid-approved. Machine washable (tick), long-lasting prints (tick), and even better? It passed the “won’t wake up cranky” test.

🛒 The Best Part? It Didn’t Break the Bank

As a single parent, I’m always looking for the sweet spot: practical and cool. With flat-rate shipping, free delivery over $150, and Afterpay, I could give his room a real refresh without stressing the budget.

💬 Real Talk: It’s More Than Just Bedding

It’s about giving your kid a space that feels safe, personal, and positive. That little moment of pride when they see their name or their passion printed big and bold — it matters.

So if your child’s room needs a spark, start with the bedding._
