<p>Well, I can testify that—after my son’s freshman year in college—the quality of the “upgraded” sheets that I purchased in August from Residence Hall linens is such that I’m throwing them in the trash. The contour sheets are completely shot (no elastic at all). The comforter still seems fine, and the mattress cover is barely usable, though he might get one more year out of it. Most of the things that came in the package (fan, light) were in cheap boxes that were falling apart. Honestly, I think you could do better in a dollar store. I must admit that it was very convenient, but I think (am not certain) that you can get something similar at Bed Bath and Beyond, although I can’t speak for the quality. I did find it hard to shop for that extra-long twin bed, which is why I went with the Residential Linens place. I wouldn’t do it again, but I would start shopping in March or April, or throughout the year.</p>
