Dorm Bedding - Don’t Count All Your Geese Yet!

It’s common knowledge that college beds are only a bit more comfortable than the floor. So when you plan for dorm life this fall, you have to look at getting yourself some quality featherbeds and duvet covers. Most students heading to college already know about memory foam and comforters. But duvet covers and featherbeds are the biggest kept secret to having quality sleep while away at college.

Featherbeds, like memory foam and egg crate mattress pads are what you sleep on top of. These featherbeds can only be compared to sleeping on a cloud. (Yes, that comfy!) The mattress topper can be filled with either duck feathers, geese feathers, down filling or a combination of any of these. And because they are designed with a “baffle construction”, this keeps all the fluffy feathers in place. When you find the right featherbed for you, a fitted sheet is another must have. This will help keep the featherbed literally locked down to your bed and prevent any shifting.

Duvet and Duvet Covers are what you sleep under. A duvet is basically a mattress comforter. You will find many great comforters at dorm supply sites like DormCo. The term duvet actually has its origins from northern Europe, where the winters were harsh and the waterfowl plenty. So you can rest assured (pun was intended) that you will sleep in comfort. College students know that washing comforters is always a pain, especially at college. Duvet covers slide over your duvet much like a pillow case and pillow, facilitating the cleaning process for college students.

It is now time to break out of the flock of college students who always look towards microfiber and memory foam bedding accessories. While both are very high quality dorm supplies, sometimes students like you want something a little different, something not as mainstream. These natural options are sure to impress you.
