If you're constructing your own bed, you may prefer to avoid including a box spring, and install slats instead. They must be strong enough to support a mattress without sagging, and they should be narrow. That increases the numbers of gaps between them and allows the mattress to breathe. Thinner Is Better While virtually any lumber would work for bed slats -- provided all the slats are the same thickness -- you're overdoing it by using anything thicker than 1 inch. Thinner boards make the frame less cumbersome and are easy to remove and store should you need to disassemble the frame and move it. Pine or fir boards that are 3 or 4 inches wide are a good choice.
They are strong enough to support your weight and are usually inexpensive. Mind the Gap It isn't a good idea to install the slats flush against one another, because that could allow moisture to collect underneath the mattress, and the result would be fabric deterioration and mold. On the other hand, excessively wide spacing allows the mattress to sag, and you'll feel that when you're sleeping. A gap of about 1 1/2 to 2 inches between slats is the happy medium that allows the mattress to breathe while providing enough support to keep you comfortable.

Students can feel confident that their bedding for college will fit properly because DormSmart ALWAYS checks actual bedding dimensions before categorizing it as twin or twin XL, meaning labels or packaging do not matter rather size matters! Regardless of how a manufacturer has labeled their bedding, before it hits DormSmart's virtual shelves the dimensions must be checked and the bedding categorized accordingly.DormSmart reviews more that 2000 college housing websites annually and the one thing we have learned… there is no consistency between colleges when it comes to bed sizes. Some schools have standard twin beds, many schools have twin extra long beds (commonly referred to as Twin XL or TXL), and a few even have double beds in their dorm rooms. The best approach for students and parents is to contact their school housing office prior to purchasing bedding for their dorm room.While twin XL is preferable (minimum length of 90"), twin comforters and duvets (86" and up) can work on an 80 inch extra long twin mattress but they will be short.

You can then fill in the top with extra pillows.Your "fitted sheet" must be manufactured to fit a twin XL mattress.

In addition, full size and queen size comforters, 90 inches or longer, can be used to accommodate the additional height of a raised twin XL bed in your dorm room.
Lastly, if you are planning to move into your own apartment versus remaining in the residence hall beyond your freshman year, it may be a wiser investment to purchase a larger comforter or duvet set that can be used in both spaces.
