Most people these days have at least heard of a bed in a bag, but many don't fully understand what it consists of. While the specific items included with bed in a bag sets vary depending on the package, most sets include a set of sheets, a pillow, and sometimes even comforters. No, a bed in a bag is not literally a full mattress in a bag, but it's just about everything else you would need to sleep comfortably.
There is a lot of variety in bed in a bag sets. You can find sets with one sheet, one fitted sheet, and a pillow only, and others with 7+ pieces. One of the most popular sets includes a comforter, 2 shams, 2 cushions, 1 neck roll, and a bed skirt. This set is commonly sold at department stores, as well as online. If you're considering buying a bed in a bag, I recommend shopping around a bit first. Since there are so many options, you can afford to be picky. Yes, the main goal of this product is to save time and money, but that doesn't mean you need to make a decision too quickly.
Most of the time, bed in a bag sets are available in 3 different sizes: twin, queen, and king. Obviously the smaller-sized sets are cheaper than the larger ones, but prices vary from store to store regardless. It seems like all the best prices are online, so it would be wise to buy from a website. However, if you'd like to see the set in person and get a feel for the look and feel of it, head down to your local JC Penny or a similar department store and check the sets out!
Prices for bed in a bag products vary depending on the size and set. However, generally you can expect to pay $20-$150 for a set. Obviously the nicer ones cost more, and specific designs may cost more than others. However, for what you're getting, these sets are extremely affordable. If you were to purchase each piece separately, you would have to spend a LOT more overall. Plus, with bed in a bag, you know everything is going to match and look great together, and you don't have to shop around too much to find what you're looking for.
