What bedding is needed in a college dorm?
Your bedding should consist of fitted sheets, pillowcases, blankets and comforters. When you buy sheets, go for a higher thread count, which signals a higher quality. Buy two or more sets of sheets and pillowcases; you might not have the time to wash them as often as needed once school has started. Buy a mattress pad to make your bed more comfortable to sleep in. Dorm mattresses are notoriously uncomfortable and can be very painful for your neck and back. If you have a bad back, you might want to do yourself a favor and buy a comfortable twin mattress.
