<p>I got a quilt instead of a comforter. I think a thick comforter is just too warm. Also, you could try Lands End for XL twin cotton sheets.</p>
<p>JC Penny online has some really pretty xl sheets that are currently on sale.</p>
<p>The XL jersey sheets are great and they fit well. We had a problem with the mattress pad. It was XL and wouldn’t go on the bed at all, in fact we ripped it trying to force it on, we bought the mattress pad at Kohl’s. The best thing was the egg crate, my son was happy with that. He never even took his comforter out of the package and sent it home after the first couple of weeks. I’d ask him as it got colder if he’d like to have the comforter and the answer was always no. He had a cotton blanket and a fleece blanket that a girl made him, you know the kind, it was maize on one side and blue on the other and the fringes are tied. He used that for his whole first year. I sent him with 5 towels, he used 2 for the whole year. So, be conservative. If you need more things, buy them after you get to school. The dorms seemed to be overheated, at least at U Mich they were.</p>
<p>Anyone have the current code for free shipping from Penney’s? I checked other sites and couldn’t find it.</p>
