We know moving into a dorm can be a bit overwhelming, especially when it comes to setting up your perfect bed. To help you out, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about dorm bedding. Let’s dive in!
#1: What Size Bedding Do I Need for My Dorm Bed?Most dorm beds require Twin XL bedding. This size is longer than a standard twin bed to accommodate taller students. Be sure to check your dorm’s specific requirements before buying. #2: How Many Sets of Sheets Should I Bring?Having two sets of sheets is ideal. This way, you always have a clean set ready when the other is in the wash. Opt for durable, easy-to-care-for materials like cotton or microfiber. #3: Do I Need a Mattress Topper?Absolutely! Dorm mattresses are often hard and notoriously uncomfortable. A mattress topper, such as memory foam or a quilted cover, can make your bed much more comfortable. #4: What’s the Best Way to Keep My Bed Clean?Use a waterproof mattress coverto guard against spills, stains, and allergens. Wash your sheets weekly and your comforter or duvet cover monthly. Spot clean any spills or stains immediately to keep your bed fresh. #5: How Can I Maximize Storage Space in My Dorm?Utilize under-bed storage bins for extra sheets, blankets, and seasonal items. Bed risers can help create more space beneath your bed. Consider multi-functional furniture like storage ottomans to keep your room tidy. #6: Should I Bring Extra Blankets?Yes! Extra blankets are perfect for those colder nights or for adding an extra layer of warmth. Even if you live in a warmer climate, they’re great for lounging around during study sessions or movie nights. #7: How Can I Make My Dorm Bed More Comfortable?Don't skimp on quality! It might be tempting to grab inexpensive bedding from big box discount stores, but you truly get what you pay for. Opt for premium bedding from AB Lifestyles.
