<p>Hello I will be attending college this fall in upstate NY.
I need help on making my dorm bed VERY COMFY, I like plush softness, not hard anything.</p>

<p>There are feather beds, fiber beds, memory foam, mattress pads it's all confusing, I've learned from previous posts that layering up these items on your bed is a must, but which items do I layer? and in what order?</p>

<p>Also, I like to be cold when I sleep not hot, I checked out a fiber bed from BBB today and it was very soft, just seemed thin. Any help would be great.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Some of my roommates got foam mattress pads. I was SO jealous! I’m definitely going to consider getting one this year!</p>

<p>ummm i had one king memory foam one folded in half and a basing king foam one also folded in half… it made it really soft.</p>

<p>Buy yourself a quality foam mattress pad. Walmart sells twin sized ones for 10 dollars; it’s great the first few weeks, but flattens out rather quickly. I believe you can buy good ones for like 50 bucks or so. Well worth it. That’s really all you need to make the bed comfortable. Good luck.</p>

<p>My friend this past year had not one but two memory foam mattress pads. His bed was so. freaking. comfortable. I suppose you could achieve a similar effect with with folding a king-sized one in half. Either way.</p>

<p>I had a solitary Tempurpedic one, and I couldn’t be happier. I slept like a baby, and a majority of my friends noted how comfortable it was to sit on, much less sleep on.</p>

<p>Memory foam is the only choice.</p>

<p>get a girl with big boobs</p>

<p>egg shells, the kind for beds</p>

9

<p>I think egg shells are really uncomfortable</p>

10

<p>get the white sheet thing thats filled with feathers…its really comfortable</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I agree with Chuck, though it may be necessary to get a big girl altogether</p>

12

<p>Or just drink alcohol before you go to bed. It always makes me too sleepy to care what/whom I’m laying on.</p>

13

<p>Egg shells are horrible. Girls with big boobs aren’t, but the only sleeping arrangement which fully utilizes them is vertical stacking, so keep that in mind.</p>

<p>But seriously, memory foam.</p>

14

<p>Tempurpedic is the sh** but it’s so expensive!</p>

15

<p>Get a memory foam pad. I had one, and all my friends constantly commented on how comfortable my bed was!</p>

16

<p>Go for one of the thick fabric ones filled with down; those are really nice and plush-y. I can’t vouch for the tempurpedic ones but those would probably be good too (though I’ve never seen a tempurpedic mattress pad, just mattresses and pillows but whatever).</p>

<p>Whatever you do, DON’T buy a cheapo foam pad from Walmart or something. I got one that was $20 from target and it was terrible… It was basically just a strip of cheap foam. It flattened out/got really warped, it didn’t fit my bed properly, and ultimately it didn’t really make me very comfortable - I probably would have been better off without it. So don’t do that!</p>

<p>You’re probably going to have to spend at least $50 for a nice pad (ideally $80-100 or more if you’re going for the fabric/down variety) but it’s an investment well worth it. Also, don’t underestimate the value of a good pillow (those you can usually find deals on…)</p>

<p>I found my dorm bed to be comfortable enough on its own…then again I find very few beds to be not comfortable.</p>

<p>Those foam egg-crates seem to be pretty nice.</p>

18

<p>The memory foam I hear makes you kind of hot do you think if I got memory foam then put a fiber bed over it that would be comfortable?</p>

19

<p>I never had a problem being hot with memory foam. But if you think you might, then yeah, you can get it and put something over it.</p>

<p>Memory foam is the way to go, though this is all bad for your back. Once you get used to hard, you’ll sleep much more soundly.</p>

<p>Also, lots of vigorous, energetic sex will make your mattress softer. I’m not kidding.</p>
