One of the most common questions when preparing for dorm life is, "What size are dorm beds?" Dorm beds typically come in two standard sizes:

• Twin XL: This is the most common size for dorm beds. Twin XL mattresses are 39 inches wide and 80 inches long, providing extra length for taller students. When shopping for bedding, make sure to look for "Twin XL" sizes to ensure a perfect fit.
• Standard Twin: Some dorms may have standard twin-sized beds, which are 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. While these are less common, it's essential to double-check the size with your dormitory before purchasing bedding.

Now that you know the size of your dorm bed, it's time to select the perfect bedding. Here are some tips to consider:

• Comfort: Invest in high-quality, comfortable bedding. Opt for soft, breathable sheets and a cozy comforter to ensure a good night's sleep.
• Durability: Dorm life can be tough on bedding. Look for durable materials and easy-to-wash options to keep your bedding looking fresh all semester.
• Style: Express your personality through your bedding. Ever Lasting offers a wide range of stylish options to match your taste and dorm room decor.

Apart from bedding, there are several essentials you'll need to make your dorm bed a comfortable and functional space:

• Mattress Pad/Topper: Dorm mattresses can be on the firmer side. A mattress topper or pad can add extra comfort.
• Pillows: Choose pillows that provide the right level of support for your sleep style.
• Bedside Storage: Consider under-bed storage solutions or bedside organizers to keep your essentials within reach.
• Desk Lamps: Good lighting is essential for late-night study sessions. 

Your dorm bed is the centerpiece of your dorm room, so don't forget to add your personal style. Ever Lasting offers a variety of trendy options to help you create a space that feels like home:

• Boho Chic: Embrace earthy tones, woven textures, and eclectic patterns for a relaxed and cozy vibe.
• Minimalist Modern: Clean lines, solid colors, and simple designs create a sleek and sophisticated look.
• Classic Comfort: Stick with timeless patterns like stripes or plaid for a comfortable and inviting atmosphere.

To make the most of your dorm bed, follow these tips:

• Layer Your Dorm Bedding: Add layers with a throw blanket or decorative pillows for both style and warmth.
• Adjustable Bed Risers: These can help you create extra storage space under your bed.
• Wash and Rotate: Regularly wash your bedding and flip or rotate your mattress for optimal comfort and cleanliness.
• Invest in a Quality Mattress Topper: If your dorm bed is uncomfortable, a quality mattress topper can make a world of difference.
