Moving into a dorm room is a great excuse to get your student some new bedding, especially since most dorm room beds require twin XL bedding. A dorm bedding set is an ideal way to brighten their space and add a homey touch they’ll appreciate during their college transition.
Since they’ll likely be sitting on their bed almost as much as they’ll be sleeping in it, washability is key. Most of these sets include a comforter or duvet cover, as well as a pillow sham and occasionally, a throw pillow.
Some sets also include sheets which adds an extra value, but with many, you’ll need to purchase sheets separately to complete their bedding. Another way to keep them cool when finals time heats up is to get them a cooling pillow that will help them sleep soundly and wake up test ready.
If you’re like me and find yourself overheating while sleeping at night, you should opt for a quality, lightweight sheet set for your dorm room bed. That’s where the Mellanni Twin XL Sheet Set with extra deep pockets comes in.
This cooling sheet set is super soft and is perfect for extra thick mattresses. They’re also easy to care for as they’re fade, stain, shrink and wrinkle resistant.
There are many different color options available, so you’ll easily find one to match your dorm decor.
These sheets are the number one seller on Amazon in the category, and for good reason. They provide a great balance of price and quality, giving your dorm room a much-needed luxurious upgrade.
