College Bedding Drop

items College son just graduated & college daughter just finished freshman year…I’ve bought quite a bit of bedding over the years. Here are my personal recommendations from basic to fancy. My son liked basic and my daughter requested some higher end it...
This Full-Queen Down Alternative Comforter would be perfect for a “lofted” dorm extra long twin mattress. That way, the sides of the comforter can drape down to hide a bit underneath. NOTE: if the bed is not “lofted” an Xtra Long (XL) Twin comforter ...

Twin/Twin XL Floral Scallop Comforter and Sham Set Blue for Dorm - Threshold™
