I'm a bedding expert — 3 things to look for when choosing bed sheets for your college dorm
Back to school season is here and if you're a student (or a parent of one), you're likely on the lookout for dorm bedding which doesn't break the bank. However, bed sheets are often an afterthought squeezed into a tight budget behind new bags, books and tech in your shopping list. But as a bedding expert, I would say that an uncomfortable set of sheets can make even the comfiest of beds feel like a scratchy camping cot. A common misconception is that thread count is everything when it comes to bedsheets and the higher it goes, the better it is. Let me bust the myth and say that the material, weave and other factors are as important as thread count when choosing bedsheets. The good news is that there are ways of finding the right bedsheets for your dorm room, regardless of your budget. To make your search easier, I have listed my top three tips plus some budget-recommendations to create a cozy soft dorm bed... Your best bet when choosing bedsheets is to opt for materials which can be used all-year round. This mainly includes organic fabrics like cotton, bamboo and linen which are naturally breathable, moisture-wicking and soft-to-touch. Rather than going for expensive cooling bedding using specialized tech, a simple crisp cotton sheet is often enough to do the trick if you aren't a particularly hot sleeper. During colder months, all you have to do is layer up your bed with the best weighted blankets or an additional top sheet for extra warmth and comfort. Lane Linen 100% Cotton sheet set: twin from $29.49 from $26.99 at AmazonCrafted from OEKO-TEX certified 100% organic cotton, this bed sheet set is supremely soft, lightweight (making maintenance easy) and durable. A twin XL Lane Linen sheet set includes a flat sheet, a fitted sheet and a standard pillowcase. It also comes in a variety of calming colors so you can choose the one which matches your style. Plus this comes in a reusable fabric bag for easy storage when not in use. A twin XL sheet has now dropped in price from $29.49 to $26.99. Dust, pollen and pet dander can all cause allergies. If that's you, you'll need bedsheets crafted from hypoallergenic materials like bamboo, cotton, linen and Tencel-Lyocell. These are naturally resistant to allergens, which is excellent news for your sleep quality. If you want to go to the next step, bedsheets that have gone through anti-microbial treatments are also a great option. This way your bed will be protected from bacterial growth, stains and unwanted odors for longer. These are also a boon for those who can't (or won't) wash their bedding every week but still want to feel like they're sleeping on a clean and fresh bed. Coop Tencel Sheet Set: twin from $159 from $127.20 at Coop Sleep GoodsThis sheet set is made from breathable, 100% moisture wicking and all natural Tencel fabric. It also has anti-microbial properties to prevent any bacteria buildup which can help make your bed remain fresh for longer. You can grab a twin XL sheet set at 20% off in the Coop Back to School sale which drops the MSRP from $159 to $127.20. Plus you get a 100-night sleep trial and 1-year warranty. Let's be real— no one has got the time to meticulously tuck in your sheets let alone iron them for the ultimate tidy look when in college. However, a neat bed instantly gives you a sense of calm and relaxation, crucial to get a goodnight's rest. Thanks to new-age bedding manufacturers, you can now get your hands on wrinkle resistant bedsheets which will save you the time and energy required to iron out your wrinkly sheets. These are usually made materials like polyester, brushed microfiber or organic bedding with a smooth sateen weave. CGK 3-Piece Sheet set: twin from $32.99 from $27.99 at AmazonCGK is a brand known for their super affordable bedding with a high end feel, making it a perfect starter set for your dorm bed. Made from brushed microfiber, these sheets are supremely soft, sweat-free, stain-proof and wrinkle resistant— which means maintenance is going to be pretty easy.

The good news is that Coop Sleep Goods has launched its specialist cooling Tencel bedding collection as well as adding some new additions to its Cool+ bedding range. Coop is a reputed sleep brand featured in our best pillow of the year guide, thanks to its Original Adjustable Pillow. Alongside excellent pillows, Coop also offer specialist sheets, bedding, mattress toppers and mattress protectors to deliver customizable support and comfort for all sleepers. And the new bedding range is a dream come true for hot sleepers, letting them create a naturally cooling and breathable bedroom set up with Tencel sheet sets, duvet covers, pillowcases and more. An additional Cool+ mattress topper and body pillow are now available too, for the ultimate summer set up. With the upcoming Memorial Day mattress sales, we expect to see some discounts soon, too, making it a great time to invest in your sleep. Here's everything you need to know about Coop's latest launch. With the right bedding atop your bed, you can improve the comfort of even the best mattress of the year, making it more suited to your sleep needs. One way to do this, is to add cooling products for better temperature regulation, especially if you experience night sweats, hot flashes or sleep naturally hot at night. Unlike the current cooling bedsheets available on Coop Sleep Goods, for instance, the Comphy CoolSpa Sheet Set made from a synthetic blend of nylon and spandex, the new collection features naturally breathable and lightweight Tencel Lyocell fabric. This is a plant-derived (from eucalyptus) material, which is soft, ultra-breathable and moisture wicking, making it a perfect choice for hot sleepers. When used in sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers as a single pick sateen weave 300 thread count, it creates not only a luxurious silky smooth touch but a clean, cool and comfortable environment.

All products are OEKO-TEX certified to be free from harmful substances and chemicals and are available in three chic calming colors: white, cream and grey. The brand has also taken efforts to remain environmentally conscious by ensuring all raw materials come from well-managed, certified natural forests and sustainably harvested trees. The Coop Tencel collection includes sheet sets, pillowcases and duvet covers. Befitting cooling bedding, the new Tencel range comes at a more expensive price compared to its SoftSpa, Percale and CoolSpa sheet sets. Every sheet set includes a top sheet, a fitted sheet and two pillowcases. The MSRP of a twin set is currently $159 while a queen is priced at $199. The duvet cover, on the other hand, is available in two size variants: full/queen at $159 and king/Cal king at $179. Coop Tencel pillowcases are available as a pair. The MSRP of a queen set is $39 while a pack of king pillowcases will cost you $45. Coop also offers a 100-night trial and one-year limited warranty for all bedding including sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers. Along with the new range, Coop has also expanded their existing Cool+ collection of pillows and sheets by adding a mattress topper, an adjustable body pillow and a fun-size of the popular Cool+ Adjustable Pillow we reviewed. Like some of our best mattress toppers of the year, the new Cool+ topper is designed to ease your pressure points and provide comfy support with its cool-to-touch top surface. It is available in sizes starting from twin to Cal king. However, if you're an extremely hot sleeper, we recommend that you pair up the Cool+ mattress topper with one of this year's best cooling mattresses which incorporate advanced technology to beat the heat this summer. The Cool+ Adjustable body pillow, on the other hand, is a cooling counterpart of the Coop Original Adjustable Pillow we reviewed, which can a be boon for side sleepers, prone to overheat. Similar to how our best mattresses for side sleepers work, the Coop Cool+ body pillow crafted from cooling gel-infused plus-shaped memory foam, cradles to your form, giving you ample support by maintaining your spinal alignment, all the while providing cooling relief to get a refreshing sleep. The major advantage is that you can add or remove the filling to suit your sleeping preferences and make it as cushioning or firm as you like. The brand has also introduced a toddler-version of the Cool+ Adjustable Pillow (formerly called the Coop EdenCool+ Adjustable) so that your little ones can now sleep cool and comfortable all night. The expanded Cool+ range includes a mattress protector, adjustable body pillow and Cool+ Adjustable Pillow for toddlers. Similar to the Tencel sheet range, the Cool+ mattress topper is available in six sizes from twin to Cal king. The price of a twin topper is $249 while a queen is $349. Both the Cool+ Body Pillow and the toddler Cool+ Adjustable Pillow are each available in a single standard size, priced at $169 and $49 respectively. The pillows come with a 100-night sleep trial and 5-year warranty. The mattress protector, on the hand, includes the same trial period but with a limited one-year warranty.
