Bunk Beds

In general we always liked the non loft bed set up's because of the practical nature of dorm rooms. For example if you decide to go with loft style bunk beds and your roommate has a friend come over - they will likely want to sit on the bottom bed to watch TV. So if you're the 'bottom' bunk person your space is seriously crimped. The dual or side by side bed layouts allow a functional walkway with equal sides of the room - thus keeping everyone happier.

Not all of your bedding needs to be long, only some specific items need to be so - especially your sheet sets, mattress pads and for the lucky feather beds. Dorm mattresses are firm and usually covered in a bio hazard like plastic material to prevent spill seepage. This means your sleep experience will be stiff, hot and crunchy at best. So we recommend a couple log bunk bed toppers plus your twin sheet set to be labeled. Items like your comforter would be nice if they were longer but they are not a firm requirement - only your basic bedding is. Actually to call it basic bedding is a misnomer because the bed is basic - those items are added for comfort.
