<p>Hey, I just want some perspective here. I got the brochure from "Residence Hall Linens" and I was wondering if it's worth it. I am an international student and I will have to buy sheets from there. Thanks</p>
<p>Before asking anything, search.</p>
<p>No one believes me when I say this, but normal bed sheets fit. XL twins are more narrow and more thin than regular twin beds, so the normal bed sheets fit perfectly. </p>
<p>I used Laura Ashley sheets for three years- trust me on this one.</p>
<p>thanks and sorry I didn't do the search prior to posting...</p>
<p>Actually, twin XL aren't more narrow. They're the same width as twin.</p>
<p>The only difference is that twin XL is like a couple of (minimal) inches longer. Like four inches.</p>
<p>The real stretchy sheets will fit a XL twin even if they're sized as regular twin..ie the jersey ones.</p>
<p>i wouldn't buy sheets through the school, they probably aren't very soft. i would go to bed bath and beyond and get twin xl jersey sheets</p>
<p>Uh no I wouldn't it. I heard they reuse linens and I don't want anyone's nasty drunken hook-up remains on my bed..no!</p>
