This summer is flying by and many college students will be heading off to campus in just a few weeks. If your child happens to be in that group, then you’ve probably been hearing about all kinds of decorating ideas. As much fun as decorating a new space can be, it’s important to remember that comfort should also be a top priority. These 3 easy tips will be helpful in creating a much more comfortable living space, even if that space happens to be the size of a large closet.

1. The first thing to tackle is that questionable dorm mattress, which often comes with mysterious stains and odors. A featherbed will help to make it more comfortable and a quality mattress protector will help separate your child from all of the allergens, bed bugs and dust mites that could be lurking. Our Student Bed Protection Kit is a great option, as it includes protectors for the mattress and pillows. Plus, it has earned the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval.

2. In addition to bed protection, soft sheets are also essential for sleeping comfortably. Finding high-quality sheets in twin XL, however, can be a struggle. Our 350 thread count twin XL sheets won’t fall apart after years of use, and come in a variety of colors to match any room. They’re also easy to clean, which your child will definitely appreciate!

3. Since space is limited and dorm room chairs can be uncomfortable, reading and studying away from the desk often happens. When studying in bed, reading pillows are great for helping your child sit comfortably. And when studying or hanging out in the student lounge or common area, cozy slippers are definitely necessary. UGG® slippers are warm, comfy and also trendy!
