I’m going to college and I wanted to bring certain sheets but I’m not sure if they will fit. For anybody that has lived in college dorms with extra long twin mattresses and tried to use regular sheets, what’s your experience?

I watched Twilight last night and I really like Bella’s beadspread and since I’m going to college next year, I am in the market for one and that one is simple and cute and I like the color. So if you know where I can find one that is the same as that or similar, let me know. Thanks in advance.

Where can I buy something like this!?




Hi I’m going to college soon and I’m looking for bedding/linens for my dorm. Unfortunately, most bedding companies that make sheets for college beds only have really ugly stuff to choose from. I saw some really really cool sheets in this kind of pattern I really like. Somewhere along the lines of these…

Does anyone know where I can get cool sheets like this, but not in king/queen sizes? (Twin, or long-twin for college beds…)

Thanks!

I’m trying to get a girlfriend, and I dumped the last one I had for someone better. Any suggestions on how to get an apartment on my own besides shacking up with someone, or going to college? I’m also 20,000 dollars in debt because I bought a new car.

Acoustic foam, mattress pads?




I’d like to make my room into a small recording studio, mainly for Acoustic guitar and soft at times loud vocals.. is it possible? I live on a 2nd story house with carpeted flooring, a huge closet with a sliding door, built in room cabinets?, and a window the size of about 5×8. The room is about 11×11 with my everyday essentials such as a very tall desktop with my computer, bed, tv, dresser, clothes, ect.. The walls are dry wall, and the ceiling has a very spikey-rough-dry wall-ish type of texture..

I recently purchased 4x twin mattress foam pads, 1 inch thick and each the size of a twin bed. I’ve already placed 1 mattress pad on my door which only covers 9/10th of the door… should it cover the complete door? i also placed a mattress foam pad on my ceiling, and then i placed another mattress foam pad covering my whole window..
i will also place 1 more mattress pad i have randomly somewhere on my wall.
Do I have to cover my WHOLE room with mattress pads? how about the flooring? i’ve heard someone say you also have to cover the floor somehow as well, as well as the ceiling? if the whole room doesn’t have to be covered with mattress foam pads, how far apart does each one have to be from each other? Will it be okay if my closet took up 1/6th of my room? it has a bunch of clothes.. i can close the closet with my sliding door.. will that effect the sounds? should I place the mattress foam pad on the sliding door?

what have I done wrong so far? what do i need? I’d love to buy things at a very affordable rate as i’m going to college next week so my cash is a bit strict :(

will mattress foam pads work? i’ve read people saying they’ve used mattress pads, egg cartons, ect. to ‘soundproof’ a room. I basically want to sound proof my room.

Sorry for the long post.. I’d just like to be as detailed as possible.

How to get a guard rail for a bunk bed?




I’m going to college, and my dorm has bunk beds (twin) that have to be stacked because the dorm room is so tiny. My roommate and I have decided that I will be sleeping on the top, and I am terrified of falling off. I want to buy guardrails, but I don’t know if I can buy just anything, or if they have to be a certain size. If they have to be a certain size, how would measurements be taken, and how would I go about calling someone at the university to get these measurements. Guardrails are not provided. Thank you!

I’m going to college in the fall, and I want to have a really poofy comforter because I’ve never had one before–I just want to smoosh down into my covers! But I’m just in LA, and I don’t need anything that’s super warm. Are down comforters hot? What should I use instead?

I’m going to college next year, and the dorm room beds are extra long twin size, but the only comforter I’ve found that I actually like comes in queen and king only…can I make it work or will it look tacky no matter what? Thanks!

Difference between featherbed/mattress pad?




I’m going to college in the fall and on the list it says mattress pad. I have a bad back and want to buy the best one available so that I can sleep comfortably and am confused as to the difference of a feather bed, mattress pad, or a fiberbed. Any insight you can give would be helpful. Thanks.

Any suggestions?
