Let's face it -- simple, disposable college decor is the norm, but just because it's an option doesn't mean it's the option for you. Thrifty finds and minimalism aren't for everyone. If you're dreaming of a dorm room that feels as luxurious and cozy as your room at home (or even more so!), this article is for you.

When it comes to creating the dorm room you want and buying the items that fit your picture perfect style, it’s necessary to keep in mind that you’ll be using and living with these pieces for the next four years. So, that means you’ll want to purchase top quality items that are comfortable, durable, and guaranteed to last the entirety of your college career.

Buying luxury dorm bedding doesn’t mean you have to break the bank. The money you pay for a piece now will certainly pay off over time when the quality has held up and the piece looks as good as it does on the day you bought it! Also, just because you’re buying college dorm items, doesn’t mean you can only use them for four years then they have to be tossed. Bedding, throw blankets, accent pillows, decor, etc can all be used after college -- either in your house, apartment, or next dorm room in graduate school! 

We will cover all of the luxury items that give you the biggest bang for your buck and are guaranteed to last through your four years of college and hopefully beyond!

• Pillows 
• Blankets
• Mattress Pads
• Comforters

Pillows 

Your Essential Comfort Item

When it comes to your dorm room bedding, you need to select a pillow that is comfortable and the right fit for your sleeping style. A good pillow can make or break your sleeping experience because after all being comfortable is the key to falling asleep. So, when looking at pillows sometimes the top quality ones are the best.

Department stores used to be the go-to place for all of America's shopping needs, but that is changing. While a cheap pillow from a department store seems like a great option, oftentimes these pillows are uncomfortable and turn out to be bad purchases. Therefore, a top notch pillow is a great investment to ensure you will be well rested all semester during your busy class schedule, clubs, work, sports and any other activities that require a good night's rest for a great performance the next day. 

Accent Pillows

After you’ve grabbed your perfect sleeping pillow, it’s time to deck out your bed in beautiful accent pillows. These help make your dorm room feel cozy and like a perfect home. They add to the overall stylish ambiance and make great conversation starters when you invite your friends over to look at your room! Throw pillows can change up your space by adding a little extra oomph, showcase your personality with a humorous pillow or one with a motivational quote, or just add a pop of color. Whatever pillows you choose, they will add to the coziness of your room which will in turn make you feel more comfortable in your dorm space! 

Throws 

Because You Can Never Have Too Many Blankets
