<p>Did anybody get a mailing from Campus Linens? (<a href="http://www.campuslinens.com%5B/url%5D">www.campuslinens.com</a>)</p>
<p>Is their stuff worth it? They say that you can't find extra-long twin sheets in stores...true?</p>
<p>(I'm going to UC Berkeley if that helps any).</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>You CAN find X-long twin sheets at many places around back-to-school time. Bed Bath and Beyond have many, many different kinds, as do other places such as Pottery Barn Teen and some department stores. I would go to BB&B if I were you - the sheets are cheap, XL, and you get to feel them for yourself.</p>
<p>I got that cataloug in the mail too but definitely don't buy from there!! I know a lot of kids who did last year and they're really cheap quality, they fall apart like halfway through the year... its kind of a scam thing, you can find those size sheets at lots of regular stores.</p>
<p>Lol....my mom actually thought it was a real letter (did the envelope have "DePauw" written ANYWHERE on it-NO!).</p>
<p>my mom thought so too.</p>
<p>it had a seal on it but it looked nothing like UChicago's (not to mention all of their mailings are in nicer envelopes with a color seal and the return address is...in chicago)</p>
<p>Just watch out for the Beyond. :D</p>
<p>lol i love family guy</p>
<p>i was waiting for that joke after I saw someone talk about bed bath and beyond. still funny though.</p>
<p>JC Penneys has the extra long sheets for $19.99 a set through their catalog</p>
<p>Does anyone know where you can find v. high-thread count twin XL sheets? Or sateen sheets? Thanks.</p>
<p>Only that would come from you, graci! Sateen sheets...it seems to match your personality. By the way, you have a pm from me, I believe.</p>
<p>You won't be able to find the very high thread count sheets for the twin XL beds. Usually, the 800-1200 thread count sheets are only available in queen and king sizes.</p>
<p>The highest thread count sheets that I have found were the 400 thread count ones that I found at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Beyond really has most of the stuff that you will need for moving in. I spent the better part of today and yesterday driving around trying to find everything, until I found that Beyond had everything that I was looking for.</p>
<p>If they don't have it, they can also order it for you, which is really nice.</p>
<p>I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond and shopped for the exact same items as the Campus Linens value package. The cart comes out to a similar price. Did I do something wrong?</p>
<p>The products at Beyond are of higher quality. Go to your local Beyond store and feel them for yourself.</p>
<p>Ordering sheets through offers like that (and even when it comes down to it, through your school) isn't worth it... maybe it's convenient, but some stores are very cool that you can purchase it at home and pick it up at school.</p>
<p>Anyway! No-- usually TwinXL sheets don't come in very high thread counts or sateen. It's worth looking, but I wouldn't get your hopes up or anything. (I was unsuccessful in a similar search last summer, turned to tshirt material sheets and surprisingly loved them).</p>
<p>I got that catalog as well. How did they get our addresses? The UCs better not be selling our info for some quick cash! LOL. Seems like a ripoff. Plus, why buy so early. Stores will be selling these later on near midsummer</p>
<p>go to macy's or bloomingdale's if there's one of either where you live. They have a pretty large selection of twin extra-long sheets.</p>
<p>Try Residence Hall Linens (<a href="http://www.rhl.org%5B/url%5D">http://www.rhl.org</a>) as well. The quality looked great. We ordered through them as they were the same price or cheaper than the stores. They also had some items we couldn't find in Bed Bath and Beyond when we tried to navigate around that store.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.domestications.com%5B/url%5D">www.domestications.com</a> also has a nice "t-shirt" material twin xl</p>
<p>I bought them last year and they've held up really nice. Cheap too.</p>
<p>Landsend.com has extra long twin in many of their sheets, and the quality is great.</p>
