OUR BEST FEATURES - TWIN XL SHEET SETS


Why buy just one set? Let's face it, laundry day doesn't come around as often as it should. Luckily, our Microfiber sheet sets are affordable enough to buy a spare set. Endless color options let you customize to their school colors or mix and match to create a signature look.

Many dorm beds are extra long in length, and therefore will need special sheets. Our fan-favorite Microfiber Sheet Set is available in Twin XL size, which is guaranteed to fit these extra-long mattresses.


How About Organic?


An alternative to microfiber is organic cotton. As eco-friendly and sustainable living becomes more popular, it's no surprise that graduates are looking for ways to incorporate green practices into their lives.

One easy way to do this is to switch to organic cotton sheets. Not only are they better for the environment, but they're just as soft and comfortable as conventional cotton sheets. Try our 400 thread count Organic Cotton Jersey sheets, which are also available in Twin XL.

DON'T FORGET THE MATTRESS PAD


In a cramped dorm room, a comfortable bed can be the difference between tossing and turning and a good night's sleep. However, many dorm beds are far from comfortable. Enter the humble mattress pad, which will provide an extra layer of cushioning for the support and comfort that your graduate needs.

In addition, a mattress pad can help to keep their bed warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. An essential piece of bedding for any college student, a mattress pad can turn an uncomfortable dorm bed into a cool retreat.

STAY COZY DURING STUDY SESSIONS WITH A FUN THROW


A comfy, warm throw blanket is a great gift for any graduate. They can drape it over their shoulders while walking to class or use it to stay toasty while studying in the library. Plus, it's a great way to add a touch of luxury and glamour to their dorm room or first apartment.

And with so many cute designs and colors available, it's easy to find the best one to match their style. Try Bare Home's Faux Fur Throw or Sherpa Throw, which are sure to make study time extra snuggly.

REDUCE STRESS WITH A WEIGHTED BLANKET


College can be stressful. That's why a weighted blanket is a great gift, as it can help to ease anxiety and promote relaxation. The weight of the blanket provides deep pressure input that can help to reduce stress and calm the nervous system.

Weighted blankets are also great for people who have trouble sleeping. The added weight can help to increase the production of serotonin, which has a calming effect on the body. And because weighted blankets are so versatile, they can be used during the day as well as at night.

Whether your graduate is headed off to college or starting a new job, a weighted blanket is a great way to help them stay calm and relaxed. Read more about weighted blankets here.
