These are the college dorm products you actually need — and they're up to 54% off on Prime Day
Even though it feels like summer just began, it's time to start thinking about packing for college. There's no better time to get a head start on buying dorm necessities than Amazon Prime Day. You can find everything you need, from school supplies to bathroom essentials, at incredible discounts during Prime Day.
I've compiled the best Prime Day college dorm deals, with products you'll actually use during your time in the dorms (because, no, I'm not convinced you'll need that $1,000 espresso machine even if it is on sale right now). I hand-selected products that are featured in our buying guides or from trusted brands, focusing on affordability and quality.
I'm especially impressed with the 54% discount on Mellanni's Iconic Collection Sheet Set. With a wide variety of patterns and colors in twin XL, it's a great choice for dorm bedding. For coffee and tea lovers, the slim Keurig K-Express Single Serve Coffee Maker is almost half off at $59.99.

Belkin Surge Protector Power Strip (8 Feet) $13.99 $17.99 Save 22%
Many dorm rooms are not set up so outlets are in the most accessible locations, plus you have to share what is available with your roommate. A power strip is an easy, cheap solution to make sure all of your devices can be charged simultaneously and safely.

Prime Day Dorm Deals FAQs
What do I need for my dorm?
When shopping for your dorm, you'll need to pick up bedding essentials like sheets, pillows, and a mattress topper. You'll also want kitchen items like a mini-fridge and microwave. For the bathroom, don't forget flip flops or shower shoes, your shower caddy, and towels. And, of course, there's decor, too, to make your space feel like your own.

Absolutely. You'll be buying dorm essentials anyway, so you might as well get your shopping done a little bit early. Plus, it's always a good idea to take advantage of sales and deals when you can.
