Reading / Backrest Pillow
$39.99🛌 Sleep & Bedding
You're going to study in bed. Everyone says they won't, and everyone does. A backrest pillow with arms gives you actual support instead of awkwardly stacking pillows against the wall and sliding down every five minutes. It also makes your bed feel more like a couch when you're hanging out, which is exactly what it'll become.

What to Look For
- Twin XL size compatibility — most dorm beds are Twin XL, not standard Twin
- Machine-washable materials for easy cleaning in communal laundry
- Hypoallergenic options if you have allergies or sensitivities
- Breathable fabrics that work in both warm and cool months
Pro Tip: Bring two sets of sheets so you always have a clean set while the other is in the wash. Coordinate colors with your roommate for a cohesive look.
