Shopping for tweens can be challenging. Although the exact age range varies a bit (depending on which source you check), most tweens fall somewhere between the ages of 10 and 14 years of age. Keeping up with tween trends can be a challenge but certain themes seem to be popular for now. Listed below are some of the most popular sites for twin sizes of bed skirts to help complete a bedroom look.
Why bed skirts are an important part of tween bedroom decor
Compare tween bedding with and without bed skirts and you’ll quickly see that a truly coordinated look often feels truly complete when the bed skirt is put in place. Not only is dust kept away from the mattress but any unsightly clutter (and, let’s face it, tweens often have clutter) can be hidden from view under the bed. Bed skirts give tween rooms that custom designed look.

Twin bed skirts for tweens at L.L Bean
I have a soft spot for L.L Bean because of their generous return policy and high quality. While they don’t offer a wealth of choices when it comes to twin sized bedskirts that suit tween agers, the striped bed skirt was purchased by a friend and has been a hit. You can find it at the L.L.. Bean site at : www.llbean.com
