| same here cartera. we will most likely order mine from jcpenny's, but are making a trip to a local sears outlet to see what they have.
i'm going to make the assumption that most of you have recieved the RHL catalog from your respective school (Residential Hall Linens). there's a thread or two on the website discussing the company and the lack of quality of their products. i also have a couple of websites saved on my computer that i'll put the links to at the bottom of this post. anyways, my mom and i were originally going to get the super package from RHL since it seemed like it had a lot and i liked the colors. we got the latest jcpenny's catalog, compared prices of what it would take to build a similar package to what RHL was offering, and it was just about the same, if not a little bit more.
the typical sheet that RHL sends/has on order is an 80 thread count, if i remember correctly, but in any case it's below 100. in general they don't hold up very well, tend to bleed profusley after multiple washes, and don't last long.
twin XL sheets are not hard to find, you just have to look in the stores a little closer. i know for a fact that wal-mart is starting to put a lot of twin XL sheets and related bedding items out in stores. the thread count i believe is 200 or a little higher. they didn't feel too bad, probably softer after you wash them a couple of times. you also don't need a comforter and/or throw that says its size is twin XL. a regular twin blanket will work just fine.
my mom, gran, and i are making that trip to the sears outlet this tuesday. i'll try to take some pictures and post a report on what they have so far.
