I am moving into a dorm room which has two twin XL beds and I will be the only occupant.
What I am trying to determine is should I use two sets of twin sheets (I have one atm) or use one king size sheet set (which from what I heard is the same size) as I put them together?Should I use two twin sets or one king size set of sheets when I put my two beds together?
Hi, Twin xl beds are 39';widex80';length so put together they are actually the size of a Eastern King so make sure the fitted sheet is 78'; wide. http://www.bestratedmattresses.com/twin-… If you are sure you are going to be the only person for the whole year then I'd get the king sheets but if you're not then I'd get the twinxl size.
Standard King 76”wx80”l
California King 72”wx84” l
(aka Western King)
Eastern King 78”wx80”l

Hope this helps and have a great year.Should I use two twin sets or one king size set of sheets when I put my two beds together?
id go with the king just to be certain. plus who doesnt love new sheets? your going to have to buy a new set anyways. so lucky to get a room by yourself. =)
unless you just love pulling stuff out from between the adjoining matresses, i'd recommend the king set.
One of my customers has two twin beds put together as a king and she uses twin fitted sheets with a king flat sheet

Do you like the sheets and blankets tucked in under the mattress at the foot of your bed?
I sure as hell don't.... 'cause I'm 6'5';.Do you like the sheets and blankets tucked in under the mattress at the foot of your bed?
No because it smashes down my toes and makes the tops of my feet hurt.Do you like the sheets and blankets tucked in under the mattress at the foot of your bed?
No I hate my feet to be covered it makes me feel claustrophobic.
Yes, I do. But not the overcover.
yes.
you need a longer bed!
just the bottom sheet.
I am only 5ft tall, and I can't stand the end of the blanket and sheet tucked under. I agree with Hummingbird. It smashes my toes.
no because i feel constricted.
I don't
I agree with you I like to stick my feet out when they get too hot.
I like tall men
I could make the exception
No, I hate that. Whenever I go to a hotel or something the first thing I do is rip them out from being tucked in down there. It makes me feel trapped.
I don't sleep so I couldn't tell you.
GOD NO!
How do people sleep being hemmed in like that!
i hate um like that i always move and if i cant rrrrrr it bugs me!
im only 5'9';
Gosh! No i can't stand it, i can stay awake for hours if i have my feet tucked in ,maybe even not sleep at all that night ,I also only use a sheet most of the time nothing more .
yeah i do
doesn't matter either way as long as the sheets aren't wrinkled!
No, it makes my feet uncomfortable. I untuck them and wrap my feet in the spare.
I HATE IT!
I HATE IT!
I HATE IT!
I always leave my feet hanging out the end of my bed so I can't stand for it to be like that!
I don't. The first thing I do when sleeping at a hotel is pull the end of the sheets out from under the mattress.
When I was a kid I did because then I didn't have to do much work to make the bed in the morning. But now having them tucked in on the end makes my feet hurt. I usually put my feet out of the end of the covers.
I love it, especially when the AC is set low.
You can get a ';long'; bed, that would be more comfortable for your size if your current bed is uncomfortable for you. If not, then I say, let your feet air out if that is what you like.
I don't like me feet to be covered. I begin squirming and become unable to sleep.
My feet HAVE to be out of the blanket.
So, no.
no....I like mine in a big rat's nest at the foot of the bed.
no my feet cant breathe haha jk but no it aggrevates me to no end
Yes, that way the boogie man can't stick his hand up under the covers and tickle my feet.
6 foot here, and I hate it. I am almost sure that the concept
was developed by a four footer.
no, no big deal if they are but i don't fix my bed that way. too restricting

I got very itcht last night in bed having just laundered my sheets that very day. Is it detergent?
The last time I laundered my sheets with detergent I spent a very itchy night, too - so I simply ran them through the rinse cycle, dried them and everything was fine.
I laundered these particular sheets with detergent yesterday and lo and behold last night I was itchy again
Does it make sense that these particular sheets (indian cotton, high thread count) should make me itchy when laundered with detergent but other sheets are OK?
I am 90% sure the itchiness (SEVERE itchiness) is the detergent because as I say I used the same sheets a month ago having run them through the wash cycle without detergent and I was fine
Any comments, ideas, suggestions welcomed ... thanks in advance.
(I am 100% sure it isn't bed bugs cos until I laundered my sheets, I was fine and the itchiness happened that very night - last night - and I have had a rotten night's sleep!)I got very itcht last night in bed having just laundered my sheets that very day. Is it detergent?
Try ALL. My sister had a similar problem and she switched to ALL and has had no problems since. I don't know who manufactures/distributes this detergent but you might like to try it. Good luck.I got very itcht last night in bed having just laundered my sheets that very day. Is it detergent?
There has been a out break of allergies from overseas companies.
Its the chemicals they use in the fabric I'm not sure what it is,if you saw a Allergist they could pin it down
The Ambulance people here all became allergic to their fluro jackets due to the same thing.
Australia
I was allergic to the fragrances in laundry detergents. They use many of the same fragrances, even though they may be different brands. I switched to a non-allergenic one and don't have itchiness anymore.
When you wash tour sheets with detergents make sure you hung them out side and let them to get a lot of air,I think by doing that they want make you itchy , and your itchiness feeling will go
yes it probably is the detergent.
that happens to me sometimes
it could be that when it was rinsed all of the detergent didn't come out
It sounds like it is the detergent you're using. If you've recently changed it, it may just be that you're sensitive to that brand. If your symptoms have crept up on you, but you've been using the same type of detergent for a while, you may be developing an allergy to it.
Also you mention that it may be the type of material. I suppose it's possible for one type of material to retain more of the detergent than others, depending on the density of the material and how the water soaks into the fabric in the washing process.
I don't really have any skin problems, or sensitivity, but when I use ';Bold'; (a brand found in the UK), I come up in hives. It's a brand renowned to cause problems though, becuase it contains harsher bleaches and chemicals than others - normally favoured by hotels to ensure their whites stay white!
If you have an allergy, try switching to non-biological detergents. That way you can still wash all of your sheets in the same product, without having to worry about separating them.

It's very possible (and probable) that it's the combination of detergent and cloth fiber. Many people have a sensitivity to the chemicals in detergent. That's why many clothes washers have a cycle with one rinse and one with two rinses. With those particular sheets always use the 2 rinses and if you already do rinse a 3rd time. Some detergents get into the fibers and are more difficult to rinse out than other fibers.I got very itcht last night in bed having just laundered my sheets that very day. Is it detergent?
Yup, it sounds like the detergent to me too. Try finding a hypo-allergenic detergent and use that.
Good luck!
I would suggest that you change the detergent you are using as you might be allergic to something in it. That would be the only explanation as detergents are supposed to clean away dirt, dust and other things like germs and bacteria that may have clung to your sheets during the period you were using them. There are so many brands of detergent (they are all detergents) but may have some ingredients that differ and the detergent you are using may include an ingredient to which you are allergic. It's not sanitary or healthy not to wash your sheets with detergent and just rinsing them so I suggest you change the brand of your detergent than not laundering your sheets.

The high thread count holds more residue. Instead of the detergent, could it be the fabric softener? I can understand why the clothes would not be affected. Clothes are designed to breathe is expell perspiration and to keep you cooler. You have no idea of the thread count of your clothes, so there's not correlation. I can't use some fabric softeners on on sheets. My wife likes the high thread count, but it retains too much detergent/ softener residue for me and I get a rash if I use one particular brand. Also--you don't have an animal in or one the bed do you? I caught the cat on the pillow yesterday and had to wash it. Any other possible source that's unique to the bed?I got very itcht last night in bed having just laundered my sheets that very day. Is it detergent?
You really already know it's the detergent. You could try running the sheets through a complete wash a second time without any detergent to completely rid them of any residue if you don't want to go out and buy new stuff. However, you also need to consider ';Bounce'; or ';Fleecy'; sheets, if you are putting them in the dryer. I'm surprised though that your clothes aren't bothering you as well.
I've had the same problem staying in some hotels when travelling.korres

\i got itchy till I had large red welts from failing to rinse properly (I liked the just laundered scent and did it intentionally) it was excruciating, that was from Daz, i still use daz but now I make sure i rinse properly.I got very itcht last night in bed having just laundered my sheets that very day. Is it detergent?
You could have a sensitivity to that particular brand of detergent. You might want to change detergents and see if that helps. Also, if you put one cup of white vinegar in the rinse cycle, it will remove any soap build up from the sheets, and it also acts as a natural fabric softener (the vinegar smell will go away after you dry the sheets).
The tight weave is causing the problem. It is not rinsing well. Either use less detergent, wash a second cycle with NO detergent, or buy Ivory Snow to wash the sheets. Your clothes have a looser weave and the detergent can rinse out easier. Plus sheets often don't wash evenly if you machine is not large enough. They tend to ball up.
Washing sheets and pillowcases alone is what I do, use less detergent (cut it by half, so that they get washed and easily rinsed) and make your washer do an extra rinse cycle, adding fabric softner to the LAST rinse cycle so that you know they will smell good and be soft (white vinegar works well for this too and doesn't stink).
Often when I change detergents, (even if it's cos I don't have enough $ for regular at the moment), the clothes and smells and feel of them are different. Similar like to shampoos when you change to a different one how your hair feels..??
If you are not changing detergents, then maybe your body chemicals are changing and you need to think of changing detergents.

The weave in some fabrics holds more residue than others. If you are using a fabric softener stop. Run those sheets through the rinse cycle twice when you wash them. Switch to a detergent for sensative skin.I got very itcht last night in bed having just laundered my sheets that very day. Is it detergent?
Maybe your detergent has enzymes and your allergic to it..That happened to me before. You may want to change your detergent.
I had this and changed the detergent which solved the problem.
