<p>Hi, can any parent whose already bought bedding for college help me out please. Im gonna be a freshman next year and have had some trouble finding an extra long twin comforter. Are they really necessary or will a regular sized twin one be ok since comforters are made slightly large? Also how many sets of sheets did you or your s/d need? thanx</p>
<p>Two sets of sheets is plenty - one in the laundry and one on the bed. XL comforter is not necessary - I did get my daughter a full/double size though and that seems to have worked well for her. Even in a top bunk, it doesn’t hang over too much (might also be because I don’t think she’s ever made the bed!).</p>
<p>Thanx a lot for the advice fredo</p>
<p>Just to confirm–you do not need an XL comforter–my D uses a regular twin and it is ample (does use XL sheets though, but as you know they are easy to find at this time of year and into the summer).</p>
<p>And you just need one set of sheets… stick them on the bed, take them off to wash and stick them right back on the bed!</p>
<p>The problem with one set of sheets is when the student forgets to dry the sheets in time for bed or the machines are busy. I know even here at home I have a habit of striping the bed in the morning, wash sheets, run errands, and go upstairs to bed in the evening only to find I didn’t put sheets back on the bed!! Doesn’t happen often, but boy am I mad at myself when I do that.</p>
<p>You don’t need one apparently, but Company Store (<a href=“http://www.thecompanystore.com%5B/url%5D”>www.thecompanystore.com</a>) has great ones. They even sell X-Long duvet covers.</p>
<p>great, thanx a lot everyone for all the tips, really appreciate it.</p>
