Heading off to college is exciting — new friends, new experiences, and a brand-new chapter of independence. But between late-night study sessions, early classes, and weekend activities, one thing is essential for success: quality sleep.
That’s where The University Mattress by Slumber Solutions comes in. Designed with college students in mind, this mattress offers comfort, support, and convenience for dorm rooms, apartments, and other small spaces — all at a price that makes sense for student budgets.
Why Your College Mattress Matters
Most students don’t think much about their dorm mattress until they spend a few nights on it. Thin, uncomfortable, and decades old, many standard dorm mattresses leave you tossing and turning instead of resting.
Lack of sleep can affect focus, memory, and mood, making classes harder and the college experience less enjoyable. Investing in a mattress that actually supports your body can make a huge difference in your day-to-day life on campus.
Meet The University Mattress by Slumber Solutions
The University Mattress was created to solve a real problem: giving students the rest they need in a compact, durable, and affordable design.
Whether you’re moving into a dorm, a shared apartment, or a small bedroom at home, this mattress delivers the perfect balance of comfort and support without the bulk or hassle of traditional beds.
Key Features That Make It a Campus Must-Have
1. Dual-Sided Comfort
One side is plush for those who love a softer feel. The other side is firm for those who prefer extra support. You can flip it anytime, so your mattress adapts as your preferences change over the semester.
2. Support That Promotes Healthy Sleep
With high-density foam support, The University Mattress helps keep your spine aligned, reducing the chance of waking up sore or stiff. This is especially important for students spending hours hunched over laptops and textbooks.
3. Lightweight and Easy to Move
From move-in day to end-of-year packing, you’ll appreciate that this mattress is lightweight, rolls up for shipping, and is easy to lift or reposition without help.
4. Safe, Non-Toxic Materials
Made with CertiPUR-US® certified foams, it’s free from harmful chemicals and has low VOC emissions. That means cleaner air in your dorm or apartment — and peace of mind for you and your parents.
5. Built to Last Beyond College
With durable quilting, high-quality foams, and a design that allows you to flip it regularly, The University Mattress can deliver comfort and support for years — whether you keep it through grad school or use it later in a guest room.
Ideal Sizes That Fit Dorms and Apartments
The University Mattress comes in three sizes, perfect for common dorm and apartment setups:
- Twin: 38” x 75” x 7”
- Twin XL: 38” x 80” x 7” (ideal for most dorm beds)
- Full: 54” x 75” x 7”
Whether your school provides a Twin XL dorm frame or you’re upgrading to a Full-size bed in an apartment, there’s a size that works for your space.
Quick Delivery and Easy Setup
You don’t need a truck or a moving crew. The University Mattress ships directly from our facility in Archdale, NC. It arrives compressed and rolled in a portable box, making it easy to get from mailroom to dorm room.
Setup is simple:
- Remove it from the box within 72 hours.
- Let it fully expand (you can sleep on it the same night).
- Allow 48 hours for it to fully return to its original shape.
Pro tip: Any “new mattress smell” from vacuum-sealing will fade after a few hours of airing out.
A Mattress Designed With Students in Mind
Slumber Solutions knows that college life is a mix of study, socializing, and (hopefully) sleep.
The University Mattress was built to handle it all:
- Hygienic: Can be spot-cleaned with mild detergent.
- Breathable: Keeps you cooler during warm nights.
- Adaptable: Flippable design extends mattress life.
- Space-Smart: Slim 7-inch profile fits most dorm bed frames and bunk beds.
Why Parents Love It Too
If you’re a parent helping your student get ready for the big move, The University Mattress offers peace of mind:
- Safe materials for a healthier sleeping environment.
- Long-term value that lasts beyond one school year.
- Quick shipping so you can check one more thing off the move-in list.
It’s also a great choice for guest rooms or vacation homes — anywhere you need a comfortable, durable mattress in a smaller size.
Dorm Room Sleep Tips to Pair With Your New Mattress
Getting a great mattress is the first step. To make the most of it, consider these quick tips for better sleep in your college space:
- Set a regular sleep schedule — even on weekends.
- Avoid screen time for at least 30 minutes before bed.
- Use a mattress protector to keep your bed clean and extend its life.
- Block out noise and light with earplugs or a sleep mask.
- Keep your dorm cool — around 65-68°F is ideal for most sleepers.
