<p>If you order from BBB and don’t plan to pick up until move in weekend…your student will be able to SEE their bed and you can make a decision about what you need. We had ordered some kind of foam topper for DD but when she got to her dorm for move in, the mattress was brand spanking new and so was the bed. It was very comfortable. SO instead of a foam topper, we got an extra thick mattress pad…which was great. </p>
<p>OTOH…DS had a dorm bed that was more cot like. He NEEDED a good topper. Still, we got him an inexpensive foam one which we tossed at the end of each year…no expensive memory foam.</p>
