<p>D received a mailing from some service stating that OSU’s mattress sizes were unique and that standard twin sheets would not fit the mattresses. D talked to some of her friends who said they received that same mailing for their universities, and that the sheets were of terrible quality.</p>
<p>Are OSU’s mattress sizes really that unique? I thought I read somewhere about them being a twin extra long.</p>
<p>The mattresses are a twin extra-long, but almost all retailers who sell sheets will sell them in that size during the summer. They run maybe $15 for a set from target or walmart if you want basic cotton sheets.</p>
<p>There are Extra-Long Twin bed sheet sets that are much more comfortable than the ones sold through the residence hall. They come in 820 and 1500 thread counts, 2 pillow cases, a flat sheet, and a fitted sheet (12 colors). You have to feel them to believe them.</p>
<p>If you are interested in more information, give me a call (614) 424-1558. They are available for purchase locally.</p>

<p>Most Colleges have XL twin size Mattresses. They are the same width as a standard twin but as long as a full/queen size bed. Most departments stores have the XL Twin size sheet sets on sale now. Buy the same quality sheet as you would want for yourseld at home.</p>
