<p>Hi! I’m a rising sophomore and lived in Donlon last year, but I believe all the mattresses are the same. Personally, I had three mattress pads- one for comfort, one antibacterial one, and one anti-bedbug one. Not sure if it was all necessary, but my bed was very comfortable! You should probably get at least one mattress pad. I recommend going to Bed Bath and Beyond if you live somewhere near one and checking out their packing list (it’s probably posted online as well) and then doing what they say! They also have a store in Ithaca.</p>
