<p>What are the exact dimensions of the Twin XL beds at Binghamton? Are they a standard size? I got a catalogue in the mail that said only sheets ordered from this official catalogue are guaranteed to fit the beds at Binghamton, as if they are a non-standard size. I probably won't be ordering from that catalogue though, so I'd like to double check.</p>
<p>good marketing, isn’t it?
you can buy twin XL sheets anywhere you want to. mattresses are 80 inches long.</p>
<p>[Binghamton</a> University - Residential Life](<a href=“http://www.reslife.binghamton.edu/index.html]Binghamton”>Residential Life | Binghamton University) and then go to the link for the community where you will be living - most have a page explaining the features of the rooms, including bed size – they just don’t all calll the page the same thing – eg – [Binghamton</a> University - Residential Life - Mountainview College - Room Styles](<a href=“http://www.reslife.binghamton.edu/mountainview/room-types.html]Binghamton”>http://www.reslife.binghamton.edu/mountainview/room-types.html), [Binghamton</a> University - Residential Life - Hinman College - Room Styles](<a href=“http://www.reslife.binghamton.edu/hinman/room-types.html]Binghamton”>http://www.reslife.binghamton.edu/hinman/room-types.html), [Binghamton</a> University - Residential Life - Dickinson Community - Frequently Asked Questions](<a href=“http://www.reslife.binghamton.edu/dickinson/faq.html#q2]Binghamton”>http://www.reslife.binghamton.edu/dickinson/faq.html#q2),</p>
<p>Thanks. It looks like the beds are slightly narrower than the standard Twin XL size - 33.5" vs 39" (which google tells me is standard). Is that much of a big deal? I imagine the sheets would still fit, just be slightly loose.</p>
<p>you’re fine. Everyone uses the Standard Twin XL sheets.</p>
