Philadelphia Sports Fan Team Store Bedding, Gifts and Merchandise
If you're from Philadelphia, you are brought up as a sports fan from an early age. Between the Philadelphia Eagles, the Sixers, the Flyers and the Phillies, this blue collar town is one of the most loyal sports towns in our nation.
Our web site, FamilyBedding.com, is proud to offer a wide selection for any Philadelphia sports fan. Whether you are looking for sports related gifts for your husband, wife, brother, sister, son, daughter, niece or nephew, we have the perfect Philadelphia Phillies, Philadelphia 76'ers, the Philadelphia Flyers and the Philadelphia Eagles room decor, merchandise and gifts.
My favorite gifts are the blankets and throws. The Donovan McNabb woven tapestry is perfect your future quarterback. The tapestrt is amazingly detailed and colorful. Our blankets and throws can be used at the game, on a picnic, in the bedroom, or cuddle under it in the den while watching the game. Use it as a room accent, bed covering, throw blanket or wall hanging. We offer a wide variety in all four Philadelphia sports teams; Phillies, Flyers, 76ers and the Eagles.
Another popular boys gift is our Philadelphia 76ers bean bag. There's fun and function all in one with this Sixers bean bag. These bean bags are stitched with overlocked seams and feature a screen-printed Sixers logo. Of course, there is also a Philadelphia Eagles bean Bag and a Philadelphia Flyers bean bag. Body pillows are great teenage boy gifts for hanging around with friends playing video games. A wide selection of toss pillows, including the four sports, come in a number of sizes to fit your needs. Eagles, 76'ers, Phillies and Flyer fans will love the bed rests for reading the latest Flyers, Eagles, Phillies and Sixers news in Sports Illustrated before bed.
If you are re-doing your boys room with a NBA Philadelphia 76ers basketball theme, our Philadelphia 76ers 7" tall wallpaper border or a 5 1/4" tall wall border in colorful red, white and blue, will be the perfect detail. Brand new this year are the NFL Philadelphia Eagles peel and stick wall borders. Self-stick, removable, and reusable wallpaper borders are the easy way to decorate and won't damage your walls; just peel and stick.
Of course, a new Philadelphia room must include new bedding. A wide selection of bedding in all four sports are there to make the room. In the Eagles, we offer four different styles, our most popular is the new Eagles MVP line from Sports Coverage. This Eagles logo bedding is unique in its appeal to the young and more mature tastes. The Eagles comforter has Eagles colors with a soft leather, texture-printed stripe; ultra soft and washable micro suede fabric. The comforter is reversible to a jersey solid. The matching jersey sheets are 100% cotton, soft and durable.
The Side Lines collection is available for the NHL Philadelphia Flyers and the NFL Eagles. The comforters sets are available in queen, full and twin size. The logo color comforters look like a real jersey; made from 100% polyester jersey mesh. These bedding sets also have the matching t shirt feel, the jersey sheets are 100% cotton, soft and durable.
Another bedding and sheet selection include a denim bedding collection from Dan River, available for the Sixers, the Phillies and the Eagles. Matching percale pinstripe sheets with a team logo pillow case make these bedding ensembles a great choice.
Acrylic rugs are the last touch for decorating your Phillie room. Durable and attractive; these tufted rugs are made of tough acrylic material with a non-slip foam rubber backing.

So What's the Deal with Thread Counts
Interesting reading in today's paper, Saturday, February 9, 2008, Sun-Sentinel...an article talking about how many overseas bedding manufacturers are deliberately deceiving consumers by falsely claiming high thread counts in their sheets so they can get higher dollars.
Many sheets claiming 800 to 1,000 thread counts can sell for very high dollars. Recently, many linens manufacturers have touted thread count as the best way to choose a sheet. But others point out that the quality of the fibers and finish are more important to the sheet's comfort and durability. In fact, sheets made of linen, flannel, or jersey (think "T-shirt" sheets) have low thread counts due to the type of fabric. A high thread count would eliminate part of the appeal of these sheets.
According to Consumer Reports, cotton and cotton-blend sheets with a thread count of 180 to 200 stand up to wear and tear and provide satisfactory comfort.
Thread count is determined by how many threads are in one square inch of fabric. This is generally calculated by multiplying the number of vertical and horizontal threads woven within this square inch. This formula was agreed upon by the manufacturers a number of years ago. As many of these sheets are now imported from overseas, some of these overseas companies started twisting two threads together and then counting the two-ply strands twice.
For example, with 250 thread count sheets, one square inch of fabric would have 100 threads going in one direction and 100 threads going in the opposite direction. Add the 125 with the 125 and that equals the 250 thread count. So now with the "two-ply" method, these sheets would now be counted as 500 thread count and fetch a higher dollar.
Unfortunately, bedding retailers have beat it into our consumers head that thread count is the most important thing. It is the most frequently asked question we answer regarding sheets. Yet our two largest manufacturers, both try and drill into us that thread count is not the "all important" determination in selling quality sheets. Sheets should be chosen by touch, not thread count. Combed cottong will be much softer. Lower thread counts may be more durable because the yarn is thicker.
"Combed cotton" is when cotton fibers are obtained from the seed of a cotton plant. Combing separates the long desirable fibers from the short immature fibers to create a stronger smoother yarn.
"Pima Cotton" and "Supima Cotton" are very strong, high-grade cottons of medium staple developed from selected cottons in the southwest United States.
"Egyptian Cotton" is grown exclusively in Egypt and the longest fiber staple in the world. This means less linting, more durability, more luster and a softer feel.
"Percale" for U.S. standards simply means that the material is a minimum of 180 threads per square inch, however, many European mills, as with Italian bedding, will refer to their 100% cotton bedding as Percale or Percalle which in this case means that the material is a 100% cotton and a type of construction which is consistent with percale in the U.S, meaning a non sateen 100% bed sheet.
Our top selling sheets are the jersey knit, t-shirt sheets and the 100% cotton, 250 thread count sateen sheet sets, both available in a large selection of colors and very reasonably priced.

Celebrate New York NY Giants Super Bowl Champship with Bedding, Room Decor, Gifts and Merchandise
Congratulations to my original home team (Jersey Girl here), the New York Giants, in their spectacular win against the New England Patriots. My eldest son and my nephews in New Jersey all have their bedrooms decorated with NY Giants bedding and room decor.
There is actually three styles of officially licensed bedding to choose from. Our best selling is the NY Giants Side Lines bedding collection. The Giants comforters feel like a real jersey; made from 100% polyester jersey mesh. The matching sheets are 100% cotton jersey knit, soft and durable, t-shirt like sheets.
The Locker Room Giants bedding is also the same jersey mesh with the difference being the Side Lines has the bold red stripes running down the "side lines" of your bed. These New York Giants comforters and sheets are sold as sets or separately. The matching NY Giants bedding collection includes bed skirts, valances and drapes all coordinate with the comforters and are also made of jersey.
The Side Lines and the Locker Room are long lasting. I have had jthe Giants jersey comforter for over 3 years on my son's bed. I have always washed on cold and hung to dry, so logo is still in tact. The jersey sheets have really softened up. I also have a second set of sheets, the pinstriped sheets from Dan River; these also match up great and the pinstripes add a bold statement in the room. The NY Giants blue pillow cases from Dan River are blue with the Giants logos on both sides.
We recently added the NY Giants denim bedding from Dan River. If you are looking for a softer look to the room, this blue denim bedding will give you that look. The matching NY Giants pinstripe sheets add a bit of color to the set.
All three styles of New York Giants bedding is available in twin, full or queen sizes.
As for NY Giant merchandise and the perfect gifts for boys, teens and husbands, we offer Giants blankets and throws, great for hanging out watching the games on the couch in the winter. We even have a NY Giants baby woven jacquard throw, great gift for your Giants friends who are new parents. The Jeremy Shockey throw was our best seller last holiday season.
NY Giants body pillows, bean bags, bed rests, rugs and throw pillows are also great gifts! We have just recently added a lamp collection featuring stained glass lamps, motion lamps and rice lamps.
Please contact us with any questions online or feel free to call our toll free number at 1-866-925-6650. Go Giants!
