Extra Long Twin Comforter Set

The Way To Stylish Sleep At College

Every high school senior knows the nervousness and excitement of going off to college. It is the first time you will know freedom, and the first time you won’t be sleeping in your cushy well-loved bedroom and comfortable bed.

Instead you get to share a room with one or more strangers and sleep on a cot that looks like some version of a little kid’s twin bunk set. This is known as your first experience with your college bed, and that will most likely call for new linens since most dorm room beds are twin extra-long in size. So, why not make your room more interesting and take the opportunity to find the perfect twin extra long comforter set to make your first style statement at school?

First you should make sure that the college you intend to attend does have twin extra long beds. This information will also likely come in an orientation packet after your acceptance. Then the search is on because not every place that sells linens will stock twin extra long comforter sets all year long. This is because they usually sell most of them in July and August just when students are thinking about getting ready for school.

However, if you are too anxious to wait this long the larger stores like Bed, Bath & Beyond and Linens & Things often carry a small selection as do many online stores. That said, your best bet for selection and price is to start shopping in July for your twin extra long comforter set. You can inspect the products in person and most stores send out advertisements with coupons, or they have sales to attract the college crowd before orientation.

Each year the selection seems to be getting better and better. Much of this is due to the fact that retailers are recognizing the fact that teens have more purchasing power than ever before and more of an opinion on style.

Pottery Barn has even recently launched a Pottery Barn teen line available online and through catalogs. Target has a popular Todd Oldham line, and even Wal-Mart is starting to jazz up their selection. Sets are even available in beach themes, Hawaiian prints are very popular, and the modern geometric shapes with bold colors are also quite popular.


However, plain sets and designer sets with sophisticated patterns are also available if that is more your style. If you know your roommate, you can always try to coordinate a look ahead of time. Most stores will even have dorm friendly accessories like study lamps, storage bins and wall hanging to coordinate with your choice.

It is likely that your tastes will change while you are in college. However, your budget, like many college students, may not allow for many alterations until you actually graduate and get a job. A little planning can save you from living with a twin extra long comforter set that you just can’t stand. Think simple, neutral and duvet cover.

If you choose a fairly neutral set you can always spice it up by changing the duvet cover or even creating your own duvet cover. This also provides you with a fail safe plan for when you spill your macaroni and cheese dinner all over your bed while you are surfing channels late at night. You can simply pull off the duvet cover and keep using your comforter while you wash the linens.

College is an exciting adventure. It is about independence and self-expression, and one of the first ways you will be able to stretch you newly found wings is to choose your twin extra long comforter set.
