What Are College Bedding Sets?

College bedding sets include all the bedding basics you need to have a cozy, comfortable and stylish bed when you're away at college. One of the best ways to shop for all you need this semester is to start with a bedding set and then add to it by selecting throws, shams and other elements as you go.

• A comforter set includes a comforter, sheets and a sham pillowcase. This is the perfect start for a dorm bedroom.
• A sheet set usually includes a flat sheet and a fitted sheet with a sturdy elastic that hugs the edge of the mattress. Shams are pillowcases that tend to be a little weightier.
• You can select dorm bedding sets that trade out the comforter in favor of a quilt or a duvet, too. If you choose a duvet bedding set, be sure to double check you have both a twin XL duvet insert and a twin XL duvet cover.
• What is a duvet? A duvet cover is the fabric covering that acts as an envelope for a duvet, which is usually white and filled for softness. Duvet covers are a favorite for dorms because they let you refresh your bedding design without having to replace everything.

Twin XL Dorm Bedding

When shopping for dorm beddings sets, keep an eye out for twin XL bedding bundles. This size distinction is important if you're going to live in a dorm room.

• Twin XL sizing is a unique bedding size that borrows from other popular bedding sizes. A twin XL bed is as wide as a traditional twin bed but has the length of a queen-sized bed.
• Many dorms include twin XL beds because the narrower width allows roommates to share a dorm comfortably, while each bed still has enough length for older teens to sleep with enough space.
• If you have a twin XL bed, you need sheets, comforters and other blankets that are the right size. Usually, standard pillowcases are just fine, because you can still use standard pillows, just like you would on a twin bed.

Enjoy shopping for high-style college bedding sets as the next semester begins. A beautiful bed makes dorm life something special to remember forever.
