There's up to 60% off Pottery Barn Teen bedding – here's what you need for the perfect dorm room setup
Save on sheets, shams, quilts, comforters, and everything else you need to style your (or your kid's) dorm room in the Pottery Barn Teen bedding sales
College kids, you're in luck. Pottery Barn Teen just launched not one, not two, but three dorm room bedding collections, so you can spend the whole summer styling your dream dorm in your mind's eye.
There's the LoveShackFancy x Pottery Barn Dorm collaboration, which is all pinks, blues, and whites, with little feminine finishes. There's a special section for the Lilly Pulitzer collection, which spotlights prints and patterns in bold, sunny shades. If you want to keep it classic, simply shop the Pottery Barn Dorm collection: you'll find all the essentials, refreshed and restocked.
To help you bring your dorm room ideas to life, and stick to your budget, I've hand-picked the best bedding at the best prices from all three collections. I'm talking chic sheets, fluffy comforters, cozy quilts, stylish throws, and plush pillows – you could save up to 60% on your dream dorm bedding.
Pottery Barn Teen bedding sales
One practical point before we start. I've listed the price for each product as it stands in Twin XL size, since that's the standard size of a college dorm bed. If you know you're sleeping in a Twin, a Full, or a Queen (you lucky thing), then you'll need to check the price on the Pottery Barn Teen site.
Sheet set deals
These are the some of the best-selling sheets on Pottery Barn Teen right now, and it's not hard to see why. Each flat sheet, fitted sheet, and pillowcase is made from 100% organic cotton for breathability and covered with whimsical wildflowers for timeless appeal.
These scalloped sheets make a subtle statement. For the most part, you're looking at a clean cut in a classic color. Round the edges, you get a burst of color for a pop of personality. I prefer the blue accents, but you could go for pink or lavender: whichever complements your color palette.
If you aren't fussy, and all you want is a set of the best bed sheets, then stick to the Essential Percale Sheet Set. Cotton percale feels crisp and cool and it oozes class. It's the sort of thing you find in high-end hotels and luxury spas, rather than your average dorm room.
To add a touch of vintage charm to your college bedspread, try this sage green sheet set, printed with white blooms. Essentially, it's a subtler version of the LoveShackFancy Prairie Wildflower Sheet Set. I could imagine keeping this sheet set after college and sleeping on it into adulthood.
Blue and white stripes will never go out of style. This is the sort of sheet set that you could mix and match with the best white bed sheets to create countless color combinations. Try layering your Washed Cotton Ruffle Stripe Flat Sheet over a plain white fitted sheet or using the pillowcases as a colorful accent.
Although the Tropical Shells Sheet Set is one of Lilly Pulitzer's more understated offerings, the shell-shaped eyelet trim adds plenty of interest. I wouldn't even want to layer a blanket over these bed sheets – I'd pull out each sheet beneath my comforter to show off the ornate edge detailing.
Comforter deals
The best way to lend depth and dimension to a bedspread is to add a little touchable texture. I love the look and feel of jacquard, which really makes these daisies pop against the plain white background.
I had a reversible comforter in college and I loved it. Every time I got the urge to redecorate my dorm, I could flip my comforter and make my bed look brand new. Made with breathable cotton on one side and recycled polyester on the other, the Wavy Microfiber Comforter gives you options.
Your average dorm room isn't well-insulated. I used to shiver all through the winter, then wake up sweating in the summer. To keep cozy during the colder months, I recommend you invest in the best warm comforter you can find. This one from West Elm is super soft and sumptuous.
Quilt deals
I found this cute coverlet in the guy's bedding section, but I could honestly see it working in any space. Made from a blend of cotton and polyester for breathability and durability, then woven into matelassé for intricate texture, this quilt looks comfy and cozy.
Blanket deals
You could shop this cozy throw in classic white, sunny yellow, or bright pink. Either way, you'll get a hand-woven blanket, covered in dimensional dots and finished with fringe.
Throw pillow deals
If you like to work in bed, you'll appreciate a Cozy Wedge Pillow. It's just the thing to prop you up while you study and even comes with a pocket for study accessories. Just don't try to sleep on it: you'll throw your spine out of alignment.
Your average dorm bed has seen better days. Whether this year's mattress is firm and inflexible or soft and sagging, it won't give you the spinal support and comfortable cushioning you need. Before you go back to school, I suggest you invest in the best mattress topper for dorm beds: that way, you can totally transform the feel of your bed without incurring the wrath of your RA.
