anushka banister bedding set, 2017--07--11 01:37:00. dorm rooms are notorious for being really hot or really cold -- so we advise layering for maximum flexibility. generally speaking most twin comforters sold for back to school season run skimpy on the width and length. for the most part a 68 x 88 size twin comforter is good enough -- and of course a 68 x 92 extra long twin is the perfect maximum length. the choice of down versus down alternative is a personal decision that will be impacted by price and durability. some college students like to have matching comforters and room d(c)cor -- others like a classic crisp white comforter like at home. regardless it is advised that the comforter can be machine washed (for eventual cleaning -- usually at home). down dorm comforters are a nice choice that allow for a breathable and hypoallergenic bedding solution that will be sure to make roommates jealous.
