But what is it about the oceans that fascinates and engages children worldwide – even children that live hundreds of kilometres from the coast? “The deep seas and their inhabitants have always been part of myths and stories that we tell each other,” says Barbie. “It’s a world of its own under the surface, something mysterious and exciting that brings the imagination to life.”

Product details
Your child sleeps well all night since the cotton/lyocell mix absorbs and transports moisture away, which helps the body maintain a comfortable and even temperature.
The percale-woven fabric feels soft and crisp against your child's skin – made for beautiful dreams and a good night's sleep.
The zipper keeps the duvet in place.
The zippers on our children's products have no pull tabs. This makes them safer for small children, but just as easy to open for older children.
Easy to keep clean; machine wash hot (60°C).
Goes nicely with other products from the BLÅVINGAD collection.
5 of the animals found in the pattern on this duvet cover are also available as cuddly soft toys in the BLÅVINGAD collection.

Reviews
Disappointed Anonymous reviewerWe always buy different kids’ bed accessories from IKEA as a treat for my son, and we’ve had many duvet sets from them before. We never doubted IKEA’s quality- until this duvet set.
It’s stiff, almost like waterproof material. My son tried it for one night and found it too uncomfortable to sleep in because it’s unbreathable.
Fabric feels awfulAnonymous reviewerThe fabric feels tough and like it has a layer of oil on it, unlike any other bedding set I've ever bought. I absolutely loved the design and was so disappointed. I've tried fabric softeners and all sorts but ended up taking it to th4 charity shop as my son wouldn't go near it because it feels so odd. We have the dinosaur set at well which feels completely normal. Most strange.
I love it’s a matching set but expensive Anonymous reviewerReally nice
Comfortable Anonymous reviewerVery soft and crisp, my daughter loves them in her new big girl bed
Under the seaAnonymous reviewerLovely bedding - my 6 year old loves it! Good quality and nice bright colours.

Story
Dive down into a world of wonders
Surfing dolphins, curious turtles and playful octopuses. The big deep sea is an enchanted world that triggers the imagination. It inspired us to create the BLÅVINGAD collection. Working with the project, we also realized that many children are worried about the oceans and their inhabitants.
“Children are engaged and well-informed about the pollution of the world’s oceans and how it affects the animals that live there. They want to do something about it and encourage us, adults, to do the same,” says child psychologist Dr Barbie Clarke. She regularly participates in the work with our Kid’s Advisory Panel, where we interview children in different countries about their opinions on various topics.
Mysteries below the surface
Discover the world
Stories, games and movies about life in the deep sea give children access to a world that is different from their own everyday life. “When children are between 3 and 6 years old, they fantasize the most, and when they get a bit older, they want to learn facts and understand how the oceans work,” says Barbie. She adds that when children are absorbed by something, it’s more than a game; they forget their worries, explore the world and broaden their horizons – just like a giant blue whale that floats off to explore the sea.

"We’re all dependent on clean and vibrant oceans full of life. That’s why our work with the BLÅVINGAD collection felt extra important. When choosing the animals to focus on, we began by studying their appearances and expressions. Using sketches, we then decided what could work as a pattern, a soft toy or a print on a cushion. We hope that the playful products create a feeling of being surrounded by the ocean and spark curiousness about all that lives below the surface."
