Comforters with stripes bring a sense of maturity and sophistication to a teen’s bedroom. A set with stripes in multiple shades can pull together a room’s color palette, while sets that incorporate other patterns with the stripes, such as animal prints, amp up the visual appeal. Some striped sets reverse to a different pattern, so it’s easy to create a new look whenever your teen wants.
Teen and dorm comforter sets with geometric prints draw the eye. Trellis and chevron patterns dress up a contemporary space, and comforters with medallion designs exude elegance. Sets with arrow patterns instantly bring a modern feel to your teen’s room, while camo prints add a touch of casual style.
Floral patterns are ultra-feminine, the perfect way to glam up a teen girl’s bedroom or dorm. Large flowers in bright hues are perfect for modern spaces. Floral comforters with an all-over floral print in pastel tones or with muted shades offer a more traditional feel, taking inspiration from Victorian design styles. Teen bed sets that incorporate medallion prints or paisley patterns with florals strike the right tone for classic bedrooms with a contemporary twist.
Sports and collegiate comforter sets let your athletic enthusiasts cheer on their favorite teams. Football sets celebrate the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers, Seattle Seahawks, and other NFL teams, while Los Angeles Dodgers, Chicago Cubs, New York Yankees, and other MLB sets cater to baseball fans. NBA followers can choose from sets that honor the Golden State Warriors, Chicago Bulls, Cleveland Cavaliers, and more. Collegiate sets let students cheer on their school, whether it’s Ohio State, Michigan State, or the University of Georgia. NHL sets are perfect for hockey fans, whether they root for the Colorado Avalanche, Nashville Predators, or Toronto Maple Leafs.
Cotton is the most popular material used for bedding. Comforters and sets made of 100-percent cotton are soft to the touch and breathable, providing your teen a cozy place to curl up for sleeping, studying, or lounging. Since it’s naturally hypoallergenic, meaning it doesn’t attract dust mites, mold, dander, or dust, cotton is an ideal choice for teens who suffer from allergies or sensitivities. Known for its durability, cotton is machine-washable and resists wear and pilling with ease.
Polyester bedding is extremely durable, making it a great fabric for teen bedding sets. It holds its shape and appearance over time, washes easily, dries quickly, and is resistant to wrinkling. Polyester is known for being an affordable fabric, although it is not as breathable as cotton.
As a synthetic material, microfiber is very durable. It holds up well to repeated washing and high-heat drying without becoming faded, stretched, or ruined. It doesn’t wrinkle or crease easily, presenting a clean, polished look on the bed. This affordable fabric is ideal for cold-weather bedding because it holds heat, but it may be too warm for your teen during the summer months.
Sets with one piece include only the comforter. This allows teens to mix and match sheets and pillowcases, as well as shams and bed skirts, to suit their personal style. One-piece teen and college dorm comforter sets are available in sizes that range from twin up to California king.
A two-piece comforter set includes the comforter and one pillowcase or sham. Shams open from a flap in the back and are typically more decorative than pillowcases. A sham may feature a ruffle or flange that dresses up all four sides, while the pillowcase is designed for sleeping on. Two-piece comforter sets are usually designed to fit twin-size beds.
Three-piece sets contain one comforter and two shams or pillowcases. These sets are typically made to fit full, queen, or king beds. The extra width of these larger beds accommodates the two pillows.
A teen comforter set that contains four pieces usually comes with one comforter, one sham, and two decorative pillows. These sets are designed for a twin or twin XL bed. Other sets may come with one comforter, two shams, and one decorative pillow, meant to fit a full, queen, or king bed. Another variation of the full, queen, or king set may trade the decorative pillow for a bed skirt.
A five-piece comforter set includes one comforter, two shams, and two decorative pillows. These sets are designed to fit full, queen, king, or California king beds. The extra pillows create a luxurious and inviting look.
A bed skirt, also called a dust ruffle or valance, is a piece of decorative fabric that goes between your mattress and your bed’s box spring. The bed skirt hides the box spring and the space beneath the bed, providing a clean, polished look. A tailored bed skirt is flat, sleek, and modern. Gathered bed skirts may contain pleats or ruffles for a more traditional style.
Most college dorms are outfitted with twin or twin XL mattresses. Twin mattresses measure 39 inches wide by 75 inches in length. Designed to suit taller students, twin XL mattresses measure 39 inches in width by 80 inches in length.
Comforters should be washed every four to six months or more frequently if they become soiled. Bed sheets and pillowcases should be washed weekly. Always check the manufacturer’s care instructions before washing any comforters, pillows, or bedding.
