7 Layers of Dorm Bedding: Learning The Layers Of A Great Night's Sleep
Despite what you’ve heard about the prevalence of all-nighters during college, you’ll spend a lot of time sleeping atop your dorm bedding. On it’s own, though, that old, school-issued mattress will provide more back-ache than comfort. And speaking of that mattress, here’s where you’ll face your first college test: do you know how to assemble your dorm bed for maximum comfort and sleep-ability? With all the layers and ingredients needed, your bed is almost like a big, layer cake—not as tasty, but far more comfy. ![]() Layer 2.) Mattress Encasement - There’s no guarantee the previous student who slept on your Twin XL mattress had decent hygiene. And the old mattress your college gave you has certainly never seen a shower. So wrap the whole thing in a hygienic mattress encasement to seal off its unkown history. You’ll also protect yourself from potential allergens or bed bugs lurking within the dorm mattress itself. ![]() Layer 4.) Mattress Pad - A mattress pad will provide an extra boost of comfort (and take as much as you can get when it comes to comfort!). You might not feel a pea beneath all these layers, but without significant cushioning, you’ll still feel the bumpy unevenness of that school-provided mattress. Layer up! The mattress pad is also an easy and cheap way to protect that high quality dorm bed topper below. ![]()
