<p>From Maleah's mom---
Does anyone know why you can't loft beds in Myers? And.. my d got a packet in the mail about special size sheets for the dorm beds at UGA. Is it true that regular size sheets won't fit the beds? Or, is this just some company wanting to make a buck?
Thanks</p>
<p>As far as loft beds go, as far as I know, all of the rooms, except those on the fourth floor already have lofts installed. The reason for the 4th floor's lack of lofts is because of the ceiling height.</p>
<p>I'm not too sure about the sheets though, but I would probably get the longer sheets.</p>
<p>I think they mean you aren't allowed to buy your own lofts since the beds provided in the room are loftable. The guide also mentions lofts aren't allowed in Creswell, which is where I lived, but we definitely lofted our beds. The bed ends had slots in them. You take apart the bed and raise the mattress up to loft it. </p>
<p>As for the sheets, according to the housing website, Myers does have a longer bed size (80" instead of the standard twin size 75"). You can find extra long sheets anywhere since every store in America knows a lot of college kids will be needing XL bed sheets. I mean, I guess you could buy them from that packet (I got one too last year), but it's probably cheaper just to go out and buy them somewhere else.</p>
<p>ps - found that information here UGA</a> housing: Rates & amenities</p>
<p>Thanks so much! So.. (excuse my ignorance), if the beds are loftable in Myers, does that mean you can just fix it yourself, or do you have to buy anything? I know she will need the space under the bed.</p>
<p>The RA's should have rubber mallets to help you take it apart, but you don't need anything else but that and some strong men.</p>
