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. 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 massive difference in how comfortable your teen will be as they adjust to sleeping in a dorm room this fall.
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 countless other kids have slept on them, 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 is allergen-proof, too.
Weighted Blanket
It can be hard to fall asleep in the dorms sometimes, so 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 roommates, making the room look more cohesive.
Move-In Bags
These are the very best bags to use for both packing dorm supplies for move-in day and under-bed storage for the extra sheets and towels.
Most of the stores on our list offer great deals on dorm bedding. Look for free shipping, discounts with email or mobile sign-up, and student discounts, and take advantage of any “Black Friday” type deals.
Since so many companies compete for the college market, there is no reason to pay full price once you have discovered these tricks.
