Ok... So if you've read the last few posts on Dorm Bedding you might feel you have the gist of it, until that is if you decide to shop for down comforters and duvet covers for your Twin XL bed.
Why? Because no matter how you try you won't find a true Twin XL Down Comforter and if you do you should be worried because you certainly won't find a Twin XL duvet. The reason being is that it's just not necessary!
Dorm Beds are 80" Long and Twin Down Comforters are typically 86" - 88" long. This is more than enough length for your dorm bed.
So what's the problem?
Really there is no problem except it has been drilled into your head that you need Twin XL ... Twin XL ... Twin XL... Twin XL. And in the case of down comforters you simply need twin (just as long as it is 86" or longer). Since retailers know that you often need to see the word Twin XL (even for comforters) they have gotten savvier and will call a Twin Down Comforter, "Twin/Twin XL Down Comforter". This subtle move helps you have peace of mind that your quality twin sized down comforter and duvet will fit the dorm beds.
TIP: Remember Twin is fine except if the dorm bedding product is fitted.
