Here’s the most comprehensive list of stores that sell dorm bedding that we could put together for you. To make our list, retailers had to stock twin xl sheets but most offer many other dorm essentials, too. We have highlighted store discounts and deals for students to take advantage of and will update these all summer long.

Dorm bedding accessories we love
Mattress topper
Dorm mattresses are slabs of thick foam covered in industrial strength vinyl – not the best combination for comfortable sleeping. An egg crate topper, featherbed, or something like this memory foam topper (which gets great reviews) will make a huge difference in how comfortable your teen will be as they adjust to sleeping in a dorm room this fall.
Oversize Pillow
There are typically no headboards on dorm beds and it’s much more comfortable to have a big pillow, in addition to the one your teen will sleep on.
Pillow
Your teen can bring one from home or you can treat them to a new pillow, like this COOP Home Goods one that gets over 30,000 ratings on Amazon and top reviews at Good Housekeeping.
Mattress encasement
Not only are college mattresses uncomfortable but they have been slept on by countless other kids, ewww. A mattress encasement zips over the mattress and topper, creating a much cleaner environment for the brand new sheets to go over. This Allerease encasement has a bedbug barrier, is waterproof, dust mite, and allergen-proof, too.
Project Repat T-Shirt Quilt
A personalized quilt made up of memories from home is one of our favorite freshman dorm ideas. We have only heard wonderful things about Project Repat and, when you sign up for their emails, you will be notified of the promotional deals they offer all year long.
Weighted Blanket
It can be hard to fall asleep in the dorms sometimes, which is why having a weighted blanket can be helpful for teens who have trouble sleeping.
Throw Pillows
Throw pillows are a cute addition to a dorm room. Students can even get complimentary ones for themselves and their roommate, which will make the room look more cohesive.
IKEA Frakta bags
These are the very best bags to use for both packing dorm supplies for move-in day and for under-bed storage for the extra sheets and towels.
Most of the stores on our list offer some pretty great deals on dorm bedding. Look for free shipping, discounts with email or mobile sign-up, student discounts and take advantage of any “Black Friday” type deals.
Since there are so many companies competing for the college market, there is no reason to pay full price once you have discovered these tricks.
