The Best Apartment Bedding for Making Your Space Feel More Like You

If Apartments are known for one thing, it’s their less-than-ideal size. Having to share a room with several other people is never easy, but there are still ways to make a space your own, no matter how small it may be. This is, no doubt, a weird year for going back to school or starting University, but when you do finally move into your Apartment, the most important part of furnishing it is having comfortable bedding that makes your space feel cozy. Ultimately, you want your choice to turn your dorm into a place you’ll always feel good about going home to.

Because Apartments are usually pretty limited in space, creating a sleeping and studying arrangement that works for you is extremely important. I’m not just talking a set of sheets here either but all the bells and whistles that’ll make your experience more comfortable, whether that’s through special pillows, relaxing foam toppers, or comforters with pockets for corralling your bedside essentials. Below you’ll find 5 different bedding items to help you set up the perfect space for everything from snoozing to snacking.

1. Printed microfiber sheet set

Soft sheets are one thing, but soft sheets that come in cool patterns make all the difference. Since the price for this set is so wallet-friendly, you might as well stock up with two or three styles so you can switch it up when you’re wanting a different vibe.

2. Favorite tee striped reversible duvet bundle

Buying a coordinating set makes things much easier than trying to source everything on your dorm supplies list piecemeal. This kit’s basic bundle comes with a sheet set, sham, and duvet cover. The deluxe builds on the basic with a bath towel set and a water-resistant shower caddy, both of which will be much needed.

3. Ribbed plush bed blanket

You can’t always count on those old radiators to keep you warm when fall and winter roll around. Instead, you can bet on this ultra soft and cozy blanket to wrap yourself in. Be warned though this throw may make it harder to roll out of bed for class!

4. Memory foam lavender-infused mattress topper

Having a foam topper can make a world of a difference in how well you sleep. If you suffer from insomnia or are often under a lot of stress, this special topper is infused with lavender to calm you down when you curl up.

5. Greenery duvet set

While you might not be able to take all your plant babies with you to college, you can at least channel their vibrant green color through your bedspread. This stylish leaf patterned duvet cover also comes with one pillowcase in its Twin XL size and doesn’t require sunlight or regular watering (other than washing)!

If You’re Going to Read One Book In May, Make It This One!

Warmer weather is finally here, and it’s the ideal time of year not too hot, not too cold to find a comfortable outdoor spot and cozy up with a new book. Try some of May’s best new book releases to help fill your days with sun and plenty of exceptional literature.

One book to take special note of this month: “Things We Lost to the Water,” Eric Nguyen’s debut novel. Nguyen’s story spans three decades and chronicles the lives of a Vietnamese refugee family. Who later fled to the U.S. “Things We Lost to the Water” is a lustrous portrait of first and second-generation immigrant life in America — full of joy, sorrow, secrets, and deceits — and showcases one family’s desire to survive in life and with each other.

The novel starts with a pregnant Huong arriving in 1979 New Orleans alongside her young son. She traveled without her husband, Cong, still in Vietnam, and Huong is jobless, disoriented, and without a home. After settling into an apartment building filled with other Vietnamese refugees, she’s hopeful that she will soon reunite with her husband, and so Huong begins sending tapes and letters back to Cong in Vietnam. However, she soon realizes that Cong will not be joining them in the U.S., and while Huong tries to come to terms with his absence, her two sons, Tuan and Binh, must grow up without their father.

Nguyen’s powerful and moving debut touches on immigration, racism, finding one’s identity both as a family and an individual, and what brings people together (and pushes them apart).
