Hi,
We’re trying to figure out what to bring to make the dorm bed more comfortable.
Mattress toppers or pads? What you’d normally use to make other beds comfortable.
Mattress/bed toppers work. Get a nice one!
Also, a lot of dorm beds are a mattress on top of a net of springs, which makes the bed kind of trampoline-like. To remedy this, you can get a piece of plywood cut to the size of the bed frame and put it under the mattress. This will make it firmer and less bouncy.
