Pottery barn dorm bedding

[Anonymous]

DD wants to bring to college the “T-shirt” jersey sheets from Pb teen/dorm, but they only come in a combo size of twin/XL twin which is 79” long. Google tells me a college dorm XL bed is 80” long. Does anyone’s college student have these sheets, and have they worked on a dorm bed? I am sure they can stretch a little but her bed will also have a topper, etc on it.

The jersey material can stretch that extra inch?

I bought those sheets. They are very stretchy and I have no doubt they fit twin XL. However, my boys didn't like them for some other reason I can't remember. They are soft.

They are kind of a pain to wash because they take up space in the washer and take much longer to dry than cotton sateen. This is the number one reason not to get these sheets for the dorm, ease of washing/drying.

get a cheap microfiber set. unless your kid is staying in the dorm for multiple years, these will only be use for one year.

NP but we have cheap microfiber sheets from amazon for our kids' bedrooms at home and they always, always come off the corners of the bed while they sleep.

Also microfiber is yucky against skin

Microfiber is gross and uncomfortable.

Potttery Barn's cotton sheets are great and last years. The t-shirt ones wear out quickly , especially the elastic, and are hot . Dont seem to breathe well and the kids sweat alot when using the top sheet and a blanket or comforter,

We bought the Pottery Barn Twin XL 100% organic cotton sheets. They are really nice.

Sometimes the PB Kids line will be cheaper than Teen or Regular PB

Agree. You are putting way too much thought into your adult DDs dorm sheets. She can pick up a basic set at Target like a normal person
