The easiest way to add a personal touch to a dorm room, or any bedroom for that matter is with your bedding. Even better, it doesn't have to cost as much as say, college tuition? Enter, these cheap bedding set options, many of which are from some of our favorite places to buy bedding. Hopefully, by now, you've thought of some dorm room ideas, and if not, it's easy to base the design around your bed. 

Another essential for making your tiny dorm room feel more like home? A twin mattress topper to add cushion and create a barrier between you and your dorm-issued bed, or if bringing your own mattress is an option, one of these cheap mattresses won't break the bank and could be worth the investment if you're planning to stay in one place for a few years. 

Keeping in mind the long checklist of items you'll need for your space, all our picks are under $100, and most are under $50. Whoever said that style and value couldn't be intertwined was not shopping in the right place for their bedding.
