How To Outfit Your Twin Extra Long Bed
If you have been accepted to college then you are likely to need to find specially sized bedding for the extra long twin beds they use in residence halls. These twin xl beds are the same width as normal twin beds but are 5 inches longer. While that extra length does not sound like much, your bed becomes your couch/guest/dining/tv watching/video game playing and of course bed in a 15 x 15 size room for several months a year.
Don't freak out as we will showcase to you what special size bedding you need to invest in as well as ways to stretch your limited dorm décor dollars for the end goal of a comfy dorm bed. While not every school uses twin xl beds we have seen statistics show that 90% or more of college dorm rooms use a 39 x 80 size bed – or as we call it a twin xl bed (or xl twin bed). These dorm beds are designed to be used in several ways including loft style bunk beds or the symmetrical room layouts of your imagination.
In general we always liked the non loft bed set up's because of the practical nature of dorm rooms. For example if you decide to go with loft style bunk beds and your roommate has a friend come over – they will likely want to sit on the bottom bed to watch TV. So if you're the ‘bottom' bunk person your space is seriously crimped. The dual or side by side bed layouts allow a functional walkway with equal sides of the room – thus keeping everyone happier.
Not all of your bedding needs to be ‘twin xl' only some specific items need to be so – especially your sheet sets, mattress pads and for the lucky feather beds. Dorm mattresses are firm and usually covered in a bio hazard like plastic material to prevent spill seepage. This means your sleep experience will be stiff, hot (because plastic does not breathe well) and crunchy at best. So we recommend a couple bed toppers plus your twin xl sheet set to be labeled ‘twin xl'. Items like your comforter would be nice if they were longer but they are not a firm requirement – only your basic bedding is. Actually to call it basic bedding is a misnomer because the bed is basic – those items are added for comfort.
When it comes to adding comfort to your dorm room – we recommend a mattress pad and a feather bed for maximum comfort. The twin xl featherbed needs to measure 39 x 80 and will add 3 to 4 inches on top of your mattress. Feather beds provide soft squishy comfort like home. An xl twin mattress pad on the other hand provides protection from the bed as well as preventing any stray feathers from poking through. As for materials – down and feather blends are the ultimate choice for softness, plus feathers allow air to circulate versus being trapped like plastic or foam. Sometimes finding a twin xl down mattress pad is touch so we recommend even adding an extra twin comforter on top of your twin xl featherbed in place of a mattress pad. This will make the feather bed extra soft and create bed envy amongst the dorm.
Finally sheets are pretty straight forward – make sure you buy two sets for laundry changes and be sure the fitted sheet is 39 x 80. The flat sheet is optional and in a pinch you can grab an extra one from home assuming it matches and you like it.

What is the best type of mascara that makes your lashes extra long & thick?
Hi Guys!
I am trying to find a great mascara that makes my eyelashes extra long and thick!
I have already tried cover girl lash blast, and that other stuff in the yellow tube.
& it doesn't really give me what I'm looking for.
Do you guys know of anything?
Thank you!
Franki (:
If you want a great mascara that will really give you dramatic thick, super long, and dark lashes check out Maybelline XXL Extensions. This was a great surpise for me because I usually hate all Maybelline mascaras. This one is definitely a keeper. It`s a double ended mascara that has a primer on the end that seriously builds and thickens your lashes and then you put the mascara on top and you have an instant thick and long fringe of lashes. This wins in all categories for me: length, volume, no smudging, no bad smell, not messy, etc. I have tried over twenty different mascaras and this is definitely so far my favorite even out of the expensive ones like Dior, Clinique, and Tarte. I really recommend this to you because it will give you everything you are looking for at a great price too. I found this at Wal-Mart for $6.50 and it might be a little more at drugstores. I have tried Lash Blast too and thought that it was just average, but hello I don`t want average, LOL! Please don`t buy Revlon mascaras either because they are all clumpy and horrible. Also the worst one that you don`t ever want to buy is Lash Stiletto. Words cannot even describe how awful this one is, Ha Ha! It gave no length at all, zero volume, was messy, smelled so bad it gave me a headache, and there was no patent leather shine like they said there was, LIARS, LOL!! but I just returned it and bought XXL Extensions and I am sooo glad that I did because it`s my new favorite. Hope I helped!
