21 Bedding Ideas For Your College Dorm

This post is about dorm room bedding ideas.

Dorm rooms!

Dorm rooms are notoriously tiny and sad. Your bedding makes up (what seems like) over half of your room.

To keep your room cute and decorated, your bedding needs to be perfect!

Set your theme to match your bedding, and I can guarantee you’ll have one of the cutest dorm rooms on campus!

Here’s 21 dorm room bedding ideas perfect for your freshman year.

Dorm Room Bedding

1. Black and Aqua Reversible

Reversible bedding is a must buy for any dorm room.

Center your dorm room decor around both sides of your bedding, and pick which colors are the accents depending on which side of your bedding you have displayed!

If I would have seen this bedding before moving into my dorm, I would have definitely gone for this!

I love the green accents with the pink, and the flipside is simple gray stripes.

5. Purple and Gray

This is a subtle and a perfect way to start a theme for your freshman college dorm room.

I recommend using your bedspread as a very subdued part of your dorm, or using your dorm as your big accent pop of color.

Alongside white dorms, I think they are so bright and happy. Plus, adding dark accents along with a bright dorm adds a ton of dimension to a notoriously flat dorm room.

The colors of gold, pink, and gray go so well together and are perfect for a dorm room. The hexagon print of this bedding adds some great dimension!

If you have a bold pattern for your bedding, it’s best to keep your accent pieces to solid colors. See my favorite picks below.

Bonus Ideas: Every Dorm Bed MUST Have

Mattress Toppers

16. Memory Foam Mattress Topper

{Source: Amazon}

A mattress topper is an absolute must have for every college freshman dorm room bed.

I personally had a four inch one, and it is totally worth the price. Plus, think of it as a longer than just one year investment!

Get this mattress topper:

Memory Foam Mattress Topper
BUY HERE

17. Cooling Gel Mattress Topper

{Souce: Amazon}

Dorm rooms usually have no air conditioning and are extremely hot for the first month and a half of school if you live in a cold climate, and potentially the entire school year if you live in a warm climate!

A cooling mattress topper might be a better decision if you get warm easily while sleeping.

Get this mattress topper here:

Swirl Foam Mattress Topper
BUY HERE

18. Pillow top Mattress Topper

{Source: Amazon}

Another alternative to a memory foam or gel mattress topper would be a pillow top mattress.

These are relatively soft compared to memory foam or gel, but a memory foam and pillow top mattress is a nice alternative, although more spendy.

The pillow mattress topper shown above:

Extra Thick Twin Mattress Topper
BUY HERE

Pillow top and memory foam mattress topper:

Dual Layer Memory Foam

Pillows

19. Sleeping Pillows

{Source: Amazon}

A super comfortable pillow to sleep on is absolutely essential for every bed, especially your dorm room bed.

I had the king size version of these pillows and they were amazing! For a little over $20 you get two, which was a great deal.

It was a great idea to get king size pillows, since your bed usually ends up being your main seating in your dorm room. The king size pillows provided really nice back support!

Get these pillows here:

Gusseted Pillow For Back
BUY HERE

20. Body Pillow

{Source: Amazon}

A body pillow is a great addition to any dorm room. Cover it to match your theme, and use it as an extra backrest for seating in your dorm!

21. Satin Pillow Case

{Source: Amazon}

I sleep with my hair in a french braid so my hair is wavy every day, and I truly cannot express how much a satin pillowcase made a difference. Opposed to normal pillowcases, satin ones don’t pull at your hair. So, you never wake up with bedhead!

I highly recommend getting some satin pillowcases.

    Hey! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could find a

    The very next time I read a blog, I hope that it won’t disappoint me as much as this particular one. After all, Yes, it was my choice to read, nonetheless I genuinely believed you’d have something helpful to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could possibly fix if you weren’t too busy searching for attention.
