Bedding Essentials for Every Dorm Room

This year two of my kids went away to college. One is going about 45 minutes away from home, while the other is almost 2 hours away. While we knew going into this that it would be a really hard adjustment, for both my kids and my family as a whole, we also know the importance of feeling at home, even in a new setting.

One health tip that I always instilled in my kids was healthy sleeping habits. This is especially important for college students as it seems as though they have a quiz or test almost everyday. When my kids decided they were going away for college, I knew I wanted to outfit them with the best bedding possible.

Saybrooke Pillows

After having neck surgery earlier this year, I have grown to appreciate the need for a good pillow. Pillows are really the make or break feature of my bed and an obstacle that makes sleeping in hotels harder than at home.

I wanted to make sure that my kids had the best pillows possible to help foster a good night's rest, which is why I was so excited when Saybrooke Sleep offered to send a few things for their dorm. 

Saybrook Pillows offers a wide variety of pillows in any size needed. Our favorite feature about the Saybrooke pillows are that they are completely adjustable. I can not count the amount of times I’ve ordered a pillow, been super excited for it, and then it arrives hard as a brick. With Saybrooke, you’re able to adjust the stuffing to your desired firmness. And they even offer extra stuffing to add if you like a firmer pillow!

My kids’ favorite pillow from Saybrooke is easily the body pillow! The body pillow is perfect for the bed in their dorm since it adds a necessary support, while still fitting on the dorm size beds. If I have one bit of advice, it’s to splurge and buy the pillow protectors! They’re so worth it, especially when there is so much that can spill or drop onto the pillows. They have so many things to worry about while in college, knowing that they’ll be coming home to a bed with comfortable pillows, helps give them something to look forward to.

Quince Bedding

While it is not completely feasible to replace the mattress in my kids’ dorm rooms, I am able to help make the bedding as comfortable as possible. With the help of Quince, my kids are able to sleep in comfort. When given the choice one of my kids chose the Bamboo sheet set, while the other chose the luxury organic sateen. Personally, the sateen is my favorite! 

On the weekends when my kids come home they are constantly raving about how much they love their sheets! They refuse to use any other sets while their current ones are in the wash.

One thing I love about Quince is their color selection. They have sheet sets ranging from sage, to baby blue, and gingham designs too! The diversity of options was one of the things that really attracted us to Quince. 

As a mom, I always want the best for my kids, and helping add a little bit of luxury to their lives is a great way to help them feel more at home when away. Thank you so much to Saybrooke Sleep and Quince for sending us these products to try out, and for helping elevate my kids’ dorm rooms! If you’re looking to give the gift of luxury this Christmas, I highly recommend both of these brands!
