the rules we shopped by
dorm-safe, or it’s not on the list
twin xl or it doesn't count.
dorm beds run 80" long — regular twin bedding comes up short. everything here fits.
zero nails, zero paint.
your ra checks and your deposit cares. lights, art, and hooks all go up with command strips.
a single is yours alone.
no roommate to negotiate with — every pick is your taste, styled to one clear look.
