What bedding do you need for a college dorm?
Most college dorm beds take Twin XL bedding, which is 5 inches longer than a standard Twin. A complete dorm bed needs a waterproof mattress cover, a mattress topper, a fitted and flat sheet set, a comforter and a pillow. Olive + Crate makes every one of these in Twin XL, all OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified.
