CREATE A DORM ROOM YOU LOVE
BACK TO SCHOOL BEDDING AND ESSENTIALS
Although dorm rooms can be small, you do not have to give up on creating a space that is comfortable and reflects your personality. Remember, this room is going to be your home for at least the next year. Spend time planning, thinking about what you might need and what you might add to make the space work best for you.
If you are like many college kids, your bed will be your home base and the main feature of your room – you will want to make it cozy and comfy. First thing you will want to check is the size of your bed. Many schools have extra-long twin beds (Twin XL) – you will want to make sure that whatever bedding you buy, it will work with your bed.
In addition to a comfortable sheet set, you will want to purchase a mattress topper and a mattress protector. For a layer of warmth you could consider a comforter or a quilt. A duvet is a great option as it gives you flexibility in picking a suitable weight inner and is also really easy to wash. Think about a cozy blanket and a couple of decorative pillows. This combination should give your room just the feel you have been looking for.
Think about adding some of these items to finish off your room: a plush rug, a cute lamp, maybe a set of bed risers to give you some extra space under your bed and some storage bins to make that area well organized.
Be thoughtful and don’t go overboard, with a little planning you can create a perfect haven.
Frequently asked questions
Most college dorm rooms use Twin XL mattresses, which are typically about 39 inches wide by 80 inches long. Because a Twin XL mattress is longer than a standard Twin, look for Twin XL sheets or sheets specifically labeled to fit Twin/Twin XL mattresses. For comforters, quilts, and duvet covers, check the listed dimensions to make sure you’ll have enough coverage for your dorm bed.
The main difference is length. A standard Twin mattress is typically about 75 inches long, while a Twin XL mattress is about 80 inches long. The widths are generally the same at approximately 38–39 inches.
That extra length matters most for fitted sheets, so a standard Twin fitted sheet may not properly fit a Twin XL dorm mattress. Some top layers, such as comforters and quilts, may be designed to fit both Twin and Twin XL beds. Always check the product dimensions and size information before ordering.
Often, yes. Unlike fitted sheets, comforters do not need to match the mattress dimensions exactly. Many Twin comforters provide enough length and width to work on a Twin XL dorm bed, and some bedding is specifically sized as Twin/Twin XL.
For the best fit, check the comforter dimensions listed on the product page and compare them with your dorm mattress size before purchasing.
It depends on how you like to sleep and how much flexibility you want from your college bedding.
A comforter is an easy all-in-one top layer and a convenient choice for move-in day. A quilt is typically lighter and works well for warmer rooms or for layering with a blanket when temperatures drop. A duvet cover with a duvet insert gives you more flexibility because the cover can be removed for washing or changed when you want a different look.
Whichever option you choose, check what is included in the set and select a size that works with your dorm mattress.
Most Levtex Home bedding products are machine washable, making them a practical choice for everyday dorm living. However, care instructions may vary by material and product.
Always check the care instructions on the individual product page or product label before washing. Choosing easy-care bedding can make laundry simpler when you’re working with shared college laundry facilities.
