Dorm Room Bedding Basics

Check with your institution first to determine whether the school-supplied beds are standard or extra-long. Moxii recommends the following for each bed:

1-2 Euros (shams and inserts)
2-3 decorative pillows (shams and inserts)
Sleeping pillow (sham and insert)
Top sheet
Fitted sheet
2 quilts
Egg crate for additional cushion from hard mattresses and springs.
Zippered allergen mattress protector, guarding against mold, mildew, and bedbugs.
Feather topper- (Moxii recommends a down alternative feather bed with baffled channels).
Mattress pad to hold everything in place.
