Boys Dorm Bedding!

College time is changing time and changing time can be a little more than chaotic! Sure kids are going away from home, most for the first time, and they’ll go and learn and make new friends and have life changing experiences but at the end of each night what are they going back to? A cement common room and cold white and cream walls? Nothing like a sterilization vibe to make them feel right at home, hm?

When my son went off to college four years ago he knew that he was going to want something a bit homier for his dorm room and he chose to do bedding through Kidscomfortz in the Tie Dye fabric and Blue Denim to make his metal bunk feel a bit more comfortable. Some large 30” toss pillows in coordinating fabrics of yellow and blue and that bunk of his turned into a futon.

The next two years he found himself living off campus though and his bed had moved from a twin to a full so he decided that he was going to change his bedding set. Again! College time is filled with so many changes but some things will always be nice to have around like a great looking bedroom to fall into at the end of the night. The Hilton Head Stripe fabric he choose for his full gave for a very grown up look with it’s light and dark blue, ivory and a camel Minky (Cuddle Bubble) backing, the cool tones mixed with those sharp lines tied his whole room together. Not to mention that Camel Minky reverse? What a great night’s rest!

I knew I wasn’t the only one who had a son looking for home comforts while he was off to college though so I thought that I would ask Marie how her son Sean felt when he was going to college. She told me that when she first went to go see the dorm she couldn’t even help but be struck by the cold feeling of the common room shared by four students, including her son! Cement walls, bare windows, not exactly the ideal of comfortable when you think about it, now is it? Ordering some lined curtain panels, and an array of toss pillows made an enormous difference in the room though and before long the common room seemed worth spending time in again for the boys.

I even had a nephew order his bedding in Antique Black Check, and for some reason he made sure to order two enormous bolsters with his bedding. It seemed so odd at the time until I finally had to ask him what they were for, and do you know what he told me? The boys in his dorm used them on the couches as “Man separators”, haha! Can you imagine? If they were sitting watching television they would use the bolsters so that they weren’t touching! What a riot.

So even though summer is fast on it’s way, it won’t be too long before the fall semester is starting up so take a look at Kidscomfortz fabric choices for your son’s dorm room while you’re helping them get their things together for the move. With choices of extra long or regular twins it’s pretty fast and easy to make dorm rooms look great and save yourself some cash too!
