No, and it is the most common mistake people make when shopping for a dorm bed. Viscosoft Organic Cotton Twin XL Sheets are cut for an 80 inch mattress, while a standard twin sheet is made for 75 inches, so a regular twin sheet comes up 5 inches short and slips off the corners. Both beds are the same 38 inch width according to the Sleep Foundation, so length is the only difference that matters.

Viscosoft Organic Cotton Twin XL Sheets are sized for a mattress measuring 38 by 80 inches, with an 18 inch deep pocket on the fitted sheet. That pocket depth is what leaves room underneath for a mattress pad or a topper without the sheet pulling tight across the bed.

They will go on, but not neatly. Viscosoft Organic Cotton Twin XL Sheets are 5 inches longer than a standard twin mattress, so the fitted sheet ends up with loose fabric that gathers at the head or foot of the bed. If you have both bed sizes at home, buying the right size for each is worth it, and the same goes for twin comforters.

A twin XL fitted sheet covers a mattress 38 inches wide by 80 inches long. Viscosoft Organic Cotton Twin XL Sheets add 18 inches of pocket depth on top of that, with elastic all the way around so the sheet grips the whole mattress rather than only catching at the corners. Position tags on the sides show you which way it goes on.

Yes, and Twin XL is the standard size for adjustable bases. Viscosoft Organic Cotton Twin XL Sheets have elastic running around the entire fitted sheet, which keeps it in place when the mattress bends, and the 18 inch pockets handle the extra depth an adjustable mattress usually carries. Adding a twin XL mattress protector underneath does not change the fit.

Yes, almost every dorm mattress is a Twin XL. Viscosoft Organic Cotton Twin XL Sheets fit the standard 38 by 80 inch dorm bed, and the deep pockets leave room for the topper most students add on top. Check with the school before you buy, since a small number of dorms still use standard twin beds.

A set of Viscosoft Organic Cotton Twin XL Sheets includes one fitted sheet, one top sheet, and one pillowcase. Worth knowing before you order: Twin and Twin XL sets come with a single pillowcase while the larger sizes include two, so pick up a spare if you sleep with two pillows. The pillowcase closes at the end, which keeps the pillow from working its way out.

About once a week, according to the Sleep Foundation. Viscosoft Organic Cotton Twin XL Sheets wash on a cold, gentle cycle and can be line dried or tumble dried on low, which works fine in a shared dorm laundry room. Putting a waterproof protector under the sheet keeps the mattress itself out of the wash.
