It’s back-to-school season, and one thing you’ll most definitely need if you’re college dorm-bound isn’t just twin sheets but twin XL sheets.

You know the struggle if you’ve tried hunting them down in August. Some aren’t soft, others are in drab colors you don’t want, and most are probably out of stock.

That’s where the New York Post Shopping team comes in.

To pair well with your duvet cover and throw pillows, we rounded up the 12 best twin XL sheet sets to buy for your college dorm so you don’t have to. We put in the research from some of the top retailers, from Amazon and Bed Bath & Beyond to Target and Walmart. (Related: best bed sheets).

But before shopping, though, we recommend buying a new mini-fridge to complete your small living space, along with a solid backpack and pair of jeans to take your back-to-school style to a whole new level.

With more than 192,000 rave reviews on Amazon, the CGK Twin XL Sheet Set comes in practically every color and is a hotel-luxury grade (which will give your dorm some oomph). Plus, they’re breathable and cooling.

The Studio 3B Jersey Modal Twin XL Sheet Set is an excellent buy if you want to lie on material that’s akin to your favorite t-shirts. They were made in green-certified dyes, too, so the sheets are free from any chemicals and toxins. The neutral color variety is superb as well.

As one of Target’s best sheets, the Threshold 400 Count Solid Performance Sheet Set is a middle-of-the-road option if you want high quality without the high price tag. They’re 100% cotton, have top and bottom labels (so you know how to put them on after using your laundry detergent) and are shrink-resistant. The fun patterns are a nice touch, too.

As sheets that have a rich color variety, the Clara Clark Twin XL Size Bed Sheets are also one of the most affordable options you can snag for less than $30. We love this teal color, but the comfortable, cool sheets come in hues to match any dorm aesthetic.

We reviewed Brooklinen’s Classic Core Sheet Set and we must tell you — they’re beyond worth it. If you’ll be sleeping in a twin XL bed for the long haul, the colors and patterns are the splurge you need in your life (seriously, we can’t recommend these sheets enough).

The Bare Home Sandwashed Twin XL Sheet Set is one of this list’s most lightweight and breathable sets. For less than $35, you’ll enjoy all the pretty pastels, incredible softness and years-lasting durability they have to offer.

In this rich navy blue, Nautica’s 200 Thread Count Captain’s Twin XL Sheet Set is a great bundle to pick up. Its 100% make adds that layer of coolness and crispness to your bed that you’ve been craving. Plus, it’s fitted sheet is completely elasticized to prevent slipping from the mattress (a huge bonus!)

If you’re all about flowers, Threshold’s Twin XL 400 Thread Count Performance Sheet is for you. This print is one we have our eyes on, especially for its dreamy aesthetic and unbelievable softness. For $35 at Target, we approve this purchase.

Available in an array of colors to suit your dorm, Lane Linen’s 100% Organic Cotton Twin XL Sheets have a super-soft feel. With nearly 5,000 reviews on Amazon, they’re the sheets with long cotton fibers — which help them from tearing over time.

OK, we must turn you on to Mellanni’s sheets. The acclaimed brand is responsible for a whopping 307,000+ reviews on Amazon (yeah, they’re that good) and come in an incredible size and color variety. If you want luxury without a high price tag, these are it.

For just $14, add the Amazon Basics Lightweight Sheet Set to your cart ASAP. We love these printed sheets’ fresh and clean lots, but if you don’t, no problem. The retailer’s flagship brand has so many more to choose from. This practical purchase is one you won’t regret, either.

Bold red color aside, Bedsure’s 100% Bamboo Sheet Set is a great purchase if you’re looking for a proper bamboo set. They’re nearly 50% off right now, have a 16″ deep pocket to keep them in place on your mattress and are easy to care for when washing (just detergent and dry like normal).
