| Personally, I love having extra lengths/widths in my own bedding. But really, most kids do not care. Students' beds will go unmade, or hurriedly covered, for days and weeks (and months???). Nor do most kids, particularly the boys, care about what their beds look like. The college rooms I've seen (for both S and D) are an eclectic mix of parental attempts at college chic decor and students' accessories which clash with that. Unless your child wants the bigger size (kicks off covers easily, etc.), I wouldn't spend the extra $$. As for hiding what's stored under the bed, neither of my kids nor their friends found that to be important. |
