College dorm bedding checklist 

Make it easier to get through the daily grind of college life by being well-rested with some help from our comfy dorm bedding. IKEA offers all the essentials to turn your humble dorm bed into a relaxation oasis!

Before you head off to campus, be sure you’ve bought everything you’ll need for your bed, including…

Mattress protector: A waterproof mattress protector helps protect your mattress against accidental spills that are all-but-inevitable in a crowded dorm room space. This is the first dorm bedding layer you’ll add to your mattress. For added comfort, opt for a padded mattress topper with extra loft.
Bed sheets: A fitted sheet will go on after your mattress topper, securing to your bed with elastic at each corner. Some folks also opt to add a flat sheet, which serves as an additional layer between you and your blanket, duvet or dorm comforter. While most dorm room beds use Twin or Twin XL size sheets, it’s best to check with your school if you’re not sure. Some larger dorm rooms or student apartments may have full size beds.
Pillows and pillow cases: Now that your mattress is protected and covered, add one of our plush bed pillows in an easy-care pillow case for dreamy softness.
Dorm comforters and duvets: IKEA offers a varied selection of dorm comforters and duvets to suit every student’s sleep style and preferences. Once you’ve determined the right size, browse our neutrals, soft and bold colors, and unique patterns and prints to suit a range of aesthetics. Also consider how warm you want your dorm comforter or blanket to be. We include a warmth rating on all our comforters to help you find the right fit for your sleep style and climate.

And those are the essentials! You can further customize your college dorm bedding comfort with throw blankets, throw pillows, and—of course—a few of our soft toys would make for great nap buddies!
